| Sony’s MLB The Show is coming to other game consoles ‘as early as 2021’ Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:37 PM PST  Image: Sony Sony's MLB The Show game series, long a beloved PlayStation exclusive among sports fans, is going multi-platform. Sony Interactive Entertainment made the announcement tonight alongside Major League Baseball and the MLB Player's Association. The Show will arrive on "additional console platforms" as early as 2021 — so we might be talking next generation, here. By agreeing to take it elsewhere, Sony has secured a "multi-year" extension of its MLB license.
Sony hasn't yet specified which consoles it will develop MLB The... |
| Instagram influencer sentenced to 14 years for violent plot to steal domain name Posted: 09 Dec 2019 03:53 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A social media influencer has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for concocting a scheme to violently coerce a stranger into giving up a web domain name, the US Department of Justice announced today. The influencer, Rossi Lorathio Adams II, went by the name "Polo," and he ran a series of accounts across Instagram and other platforms known as State Snaps while attending college at Iowa State University. The accounts, which Adams began operating around 2015, typically involved depictions of risky or sexually explicit behavior, often featuring college girls. According to The Washington Post, one account Adams ran on Instagram had amassed 1.5 million followers. Adams, however, became increasingly frustrated that he did not own... |
| Jaguar I-Pace gains 12 miles of range in new software update Posted: 09 Dec 2019 02:51 PM PST  Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Verge Jaguar is issuing a software update to its first electric car, the I-Pace, which will gift the SUV 12 extra miles of range. The British automaker says it was able to squeeze the extra range out of the electric SUV's 90kWh battery pack in part because of lessons learned in the I-Pace racing series that kicked off its second season last month. Before the update, the I-Pace had an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles on a full battery. But after the update, the I-Pace will be able to travel as far as 246 miles in certain conditions. The bump in range is likely welcome news to owners who plunked down at least $70,000 on the I-Pace — Jaguar even called it "an early holiday present" in the press release for the update — and it could help boost... |
| You can now email your emails in Gmail Posted: 09 Dec 2019 02:45 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Email chain hell on Gmail is getting an upgrade. The mailing system will soon allow its users to send emails as attachments without having to forward or download them first. Or as Google puts it, "You can now attach emails to other emails in Gmail." Emailception, yo dawg we heard you like emails, et cetera. Fervent emailers can attach as many emails, which will appear as an .eml file, as they like. Users who love to have multiple tabs open may also be pleased to hear that the attachment will open in a new window. Now for the big question: why would someone want this? Let's go to Google directly:

| Away replaces CEO Steph Korey after Verge investigation Posted: 09 Dec 2019 02:40 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Away CEO Steph Korey is stepping down, just four days after an investigation from The Verge highlighted the company's toxic culture. Korey, one of the luggage brand's co-founders, will be replaced with former Lululemon executive Stuart Haselden, though Korey will still continue on as executive chairman. The news comes after days of public backlash due to leaked documents showing Korey routinely intimidated employees on public Slack channels. After The Verge's initial story broke, new leaks showed Away was directing employees not to engage with the article even from their personal social media accounts. Away does not allow employees to email each other, and asks that direct messages be kept to a minimum. The result is that almost all... |
| The Choose Your Own Adventure publishers are trying to get the phrase banned from Itch.io Posted: 09 Dec 2019 01:50 PM PST  Purrfect Apawcalypse | Itch.io Chooseco, which publishes the famous Choose Your Own Adventure series, is apparently trying to stop indie game developers from using the phrase "choose your own adventure." It's sending trademark infringement notices to the Itch.io gaming storefront, and so far, they've resulted in four game pages being suspended. Itch.io founder Leaf Corcoran told developers about the takedowns this afternoon. "Warning to any devs using the phrase 'choose your own adventure' to describe their games, Chooseco is issuing takedown notices," he wrote on Twitter. Corcoran tells The Verge that the games include Purrfect Apawcalypse, an "apocalyptic dog dating choose your own adventure game"; a "choose your own dating sim text adventure" game called It's a... |
| Google says it won’t grant Fortnite an exemption to the Play Store’s 30 percent cut Posted: 09 Dec 2019 01:30 PM PST  Image: Epic Games Google has publicly rebuffed game developer Epic over its reported attempt to distribute its popular battle royale hit Fortnite through the Play Store without paying the company's standard 30 percent fee. In a statement to The Verge, Google says the Android platform is dependent on the existing Play Store terms because that is how the company is able to reinvest in its platform to help it grow and to provide ample security measures. "Android enables multiple app stores and choices for developers to distribute apps. Google Play has a business model and billing policy that allow us to invest in our platform and tools to help developers build successful businesses while keeping users safe," a Google spokesperson tells The Verge. "We... |
| Go read this New Yorker profile of William Gibson, the father of cyberpunk Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:57 PM PST  Nearly four decades ago, William Gibson published a short story called Burning Chrome in Omni magazine, and with it, he birthed cyberpunk. (It also coined the term "cyberspace" in its third sentence.) The story prefigured Neuromancer, Gibson's first novel and most enduring achievement. Burning Chrome taught its readers how to think about the "colorless nonspace" between our screens. In this week's issue of The New Yorker, Joshua Rothman — the ideas editor of the magazine's website — spends a lot of time with the author for a profile, and he elegantly lays out the roots of his fiction in a long, textured piece. Perhaps counterintuitively, Rothman finds that, for Gibson, writing plausible futures begins with a deep engagement with the... |
| Redbox no longer rents video games, and it will end game sales this year Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST  Redbox is exiting the game rental business, the company confirmed to The Verge on Monday. The company's trademark rental kiosks have been a handy way to rent physical copies of movies (if you still have a disc drive to use to play them, that is), and they have been one of the few remaining places to rent physical copies of video games. But if you relied on Redbox kiosks as your place to rent or even buy new PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch titles, you won't be able to anymore. In a statement, Redbox says it is "permanently transitioning out of the games business" to focus exclusively on movies. Some Reddit users first noticed yesterday that Redbox rental kiosks were no longer offering... |
| Crowdfunding disaster Coolest Cooler is shutting down and blaming tariffs for its downfall Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:41 PM PST  The company behind the Coolest Cooler, widely known as one of the biggest Kickstarter failures, is officially going out of business. An update sent to backers from the company's CEO Ryan Grepper this weekend says the company is ending operations, and tariffs are to blame. Grepper says a tariff increase on Chinese imports to 25 percent affected the "entire Coolest product line." "It was devastating to our business, and I know it was felt by many of you in one way or another as consumers and thousands of small businesses everywhere," he writes. While the tariffs are certainly real, it's odd for this update to arrive five years after the Coolest Cooler originally showed up on Kickstarter. The campaign raised more than $13 million in 2014... |
