| Valve’s new Steam revenue agreement gives more money to game developers Posted: 30 Nov 2018 06:37 PM PST  Steam parent company Valve announced a new revenue split for its online video game marketplace late Friday evening, with the change in its distribution agreement giving developers more money as the number of unit sales increases. Normally, Valve takes around 30 percent of all game sales on Steam, with some exceptions for games for smaller developers in its Steam Direct program. That will remain the case for the first $10 million in sales a game maker or publisher earns. For all sales between $10 million and $50 million, the split goes to 25 percent. And for every sale after the initial $50 million, Steam will take just a 20 percent cut. "The value of a large network like Steam has many benefits that are contributed to and shared by all... |
| Amazon Music will soon be available for Android TV Posted: 30 Nov 2018 02:50 PM PST  Looks like Amazon Music is coming to Android TV, as Android Police has spotted a listing for the TV version of the app appearing now in the Google Play Store. It's not available just yet, but there is an option to pre-register for it. Other music streaming services have been available on Android TV for some time. Spotify's Android TV presence came way back in May 2016, and Tidal made the jump to Android TV back in December 2017. There are a few screenshots for the Amazon Music on the app listing that give a preview of how it will look, and the interface is quite clean and stripped down. Amazon Music comes bundled with Prime accounts, and provides access to over two million songs, ad-free. The upgraded... |
| Automakers give the Chinese government access to location data of electric cars Posted: 30 Nov 2018 02:17 PM PST  China's government has spent the last few years pressuring automakers and citizens to adopt hybrid and electric vehicles to cut into the country's pollution levels. But many of these so-called "new energy vehicles" have also been tracking the location of drivers, and a number of government officials and entities have had access to this data, according to a sweeping new report from The Associated Press. More than 200 manufacturers (both national and foreign) transmit the data to "government-backed monitoring centers," according to the report, including one called "The Shanghai Electric Vehicle Public Data Collecting, Monitoring and Research Center" and another known as the "National Big Data Alliance of New Energy Vehicles." |
| Google may shut down Hangouts for consumers in 2020 Posted: 30 Nov 2018 02:00 PM PST  The days of Google Hangouts for consumers may be coming to an end in 2020, according to a report from 9to5Google today. Hangouts has been suffering from an identity crisis since Google launched it as a replacement for Gchat in 2013, and it's actually been losing features in recent years as the company stopped updating the app and took away SMS messaging. That change was part of Google's new focus for Hangouts, which will stay safe for now as a workplace communication tool in the form of G Suite's Hangouts Chat, as well as video conferencing platform Hangouts Meet. Google hinted at "giving up on having its own consumer messaging app" back in April, when it announced a new RCS Chat feature within Android Messages. Chat hasn't officially... |
| Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next’ music video had over 825,000 people watching live Posted: 30 Nov 2018 01:32 PM PST  Music videos haven't felt like a communal event since the heydays of MTV and TRL Live, but with the advent of live-streaming, the shared experience may be making a comeback. Today, Ariana Grande debuted the video for her relationship-themed single, "thank u, next," and a lot of people got together on YouTube to watch it at the same time. With services like Twitch, this phenomenon has become fairly standard when it comes to video games, commentary, and certain types of announcements, but Grande's video may be the first time the live streaming format has been used for a high-profile music video. The hype was helped by Grande's teases on social media, which hinted that the video would be a homage to Mean Girls, a movie that has become a... |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2018 01:03 PM PST  By now, anybody who lives a social media life has probably heard that Laura Loomer — the 25-year-old far-right provocateur and self-styled Patreon-supported "investigative journalist" — handcuffed herself to Twitter's headquarters in New York City on Thursday evening, and, in her words, "threw away the key." She was protesting Twitter, she said, because she believed the permanent ban she earned from the service for hate speech was unfair. She wanted her account reinstated. She was also there to take action over what she sees as the company's discrimination against conservatives. ("The account holder was suspended for violating our policies. We apply the Twitter Rules impartially and not based on ideology," a Twitter spokesperson told The... |

| Facebook is now streaming every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly Posted: 30 Nov 2018 12:00 PM PST  Facebook's video-on-demand service Facebook Watch is getting a trio of familiar classics: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. The social network is teaming up with 20th Century Fox to bring every episode of the shows to Facebook starting today. The shows aren't exclusive to Facebook — you can purchase episodes from a variety of places, and the episodes can be streamed on Hulu — but earlier this week, Facebook rolled out its Watch Party feature to everyone, so groups of people can watch something at the same time. Facebook's head of video Fidji Simo says in a blog post that she thinks a fan-favorite show like Buffy or Firefly will be a good way for "avid... |
| Salad Fingers is coming back, and I already want to barf Posted: 30 Nov 2018 11:16 AM PST  Those of us who grew up online each have our internet albatross. For some, it's goatse. For others, it's those viral pre-YouTube jumpscare videos with a screaming face that flashes across the screen for a split second. Mine, regretfully, was Salad Fingers, the animated web series created by David Firth in 2004, about a disgusting, childlike, inexplicably vibrating zombie creature with piquerism and a penchant for rusty spoons. Thus with even more regret I must relay the news that the heinous abomination of my nightmares is getting a new episode sometime in December. Per The Daily Dot, Firth apparently confirmed back in 2017 that he would be resurrecting his green hellspawn. "Without giving too much away, I will say that Salad Fingers is... |
| Bethesda permanently bans Fallout 76 players after homophobic in-game assault Posted: 30 Nov 2018 10:55 AM PST  Fallout is a franchise defined by its lawlessness: in the wasteland, nothing can stop denizens from succumbing to their worst tendencies. Fallout 76 leans into the chaos by allowing fans to interact with one another, but recently, one group of players took things too far. Fallout 76 supports up to 24 players per server, and these participants can talk, trade, and group-up with one another. While the game does allow player-versus-player combat, the feature is opt-in. However, there's nothing stopping players from following you around and bothering you even if you don't actually want to engage with them, especially given that Fallout 76 tells you where everyone is at any given time. You can, however, turn off voice-chat for your team. |
