Amazon has officially canceled Crucible, its free-to-play multiplayer shooter. It's the end of a rocky journey for the game, which was first launched in May after years in development before being put back into closed beta in July.

"We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we've loved seeing your responses to the changes we've made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn't see a healthy, sustainable future ahead [for] Crucible," the Crucible team said in a blog post.

If you're in the closed beta, you'll still be able to play the game in some form for a short while. The developers will be hosting a "a final playtest and community celebration" in the next few weeks, according to the blog....

Epic judge permanently restrains Apple from blocking Unreal Engine, but won’t force Fortnite

Fortnite won't be coming back to the App Store any time soon. On Friday, Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers refused to grant Epic Games a preliminary injunction against Apple that would force the game developer to reinstate Fortnite on the App Store, while simultaneously granting an injunction that keeps Apple from retaliating against the Unreal Engine, which Epic also owns (PDF). In other words, we now have a permanent version of the temporary restraining order ruling from last month.

That means the state of affairs, in which Epic is banned from publishing new games on iOS and cannot distribute Fortnite on the App Store in its current form, will remain in place for the length of the trial — unless Epic decides to remove its own in-app payment...

Apple is starting to ship devices directly from its stores

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 02:56 PM PDT

Apple is shifting how it ships devices to consumers: instead of sending out all of its hardware products directly from China or from local warehouses, the company is now going to use its network of Apple Stores as de-facto fulfillment centers, shipping products directly from the stores to get to customers faster.

The change, Bloomberg reports, will use Apple's nearly 300 stores in the US and Canada to speed up local delivery for customers within 100 miles of a store. The company has already apparently started using the new system with several stores earlier this year, but the broader rollout is coming just ahead of Apple's upcoming iPhone launch next week (which is already taking place later than usual).

The shift is largely an internal...

Google Meet is getting breakout rooms, but only for some education customers to start

Google's Meet videoconferencing service is getting breakout rooms, but they'll only be available to G Suite Enterprise for Education customers at first, according to a Google blog post (via 9to5Google). With the feature, teachers and educators will be able to break their classes into smaller groups for things like projects or focused discussions.

Google will let you make up to 100 breakout rooms in a single call. Once you've decided how many breakout rooms you want, Google will randomly group up the people on the call into rooms, but moderators can manually add people to other rooms if they want. Meeting moderators can also hop between rooms to check in on groups.

If breakout rooms are something you might want to try out, but you aren't...

Disney Plus finally understands how fans want to watch Marvel movies

My biggest complaint about Disney Plus for the longest time was that it didn't seem to understand how people (read: me) want to watch movies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a perfect example.

When Disney Plus launched, the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies weren't exactly organized. There were rows for featured titles, movies, and TV shows, but everything was kind of strewn together. Almost every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie you wanted was here — you just had to spend a minute finding it. Now, however, it looks like Disney has changed around the Marvel section a tad to make it, well, make sense.

In the screenshot below (taken from a Disney Plus US account), the Marvel films are separated into their specific phases, and then there's...

Pakistan bans TikTok for ‘immoral’ and ‘indecent’ videos

Pakistan's telecom regulator has banned TikTok, claiming the app failed to remove "immoral" and "indecent" content. The ban comes just over a month after the regulator, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, banned dating apps, including Tinder and Grindr, for the same reason.

TikTok had been installed 43 million times in Pakistan, according to the analytics firm Sensor Tower. That made it the app's 12th largest market in terms of installs. The firm estimates TikTok has been installed 2.2 billion times total across Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store.

The ban comes just a few months after TikTok was removed in India over concerns around the...

Hurricane Delta is the latest disaster in a vicious season

Hurricane Delta is the latest storm to threaten the US during a hurricane season that's smashed records and mangled Gulf Coast communities time and again. The Atlantic hurricane season has lived up to early forecasts of an unusually busy year, and there's still enough of 2020 left to set new records.

Since modern record-keeping, there have never been more than nine named storms to make landfall in the continental US. That's forecast to change when Delta hits later today. If it does, it will be the first time since 2005 that five hurricanes have battered the mainland US within a single season.

This is the 25th named storm in a season that's been so prodigious that the...

iPhone 12: everything we think we know about Apple’s 2020 5G iPhones, which could be announced on October 13th

Apple is likely taking the wraps off its 2020 iPhones at an event on October 13th, and with just days to go until the big reveal, we might now know nearly everything about them — including when you might be able to buy them for yourself.

Many rumors suggest the iPhone 12 lineup will have a brand-new design with squared edges instead of rounded ones, perhaps similar to the beloved design of the iPhone 4 and 5. And all signs are pointing toward this being the year the iPhone gets 5G, which should set you up for faster data speeds — once the networks can reliably deliver them in your area. But if you've been waiting for iPhones to get 120Hz refresh rate screens, you might have to wait another year.

The likeliest rumor of them all? We're...

Here’s how playing PS4 games on the PlayStation 5 will work

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 11:23 AM PDT

The PlayStation 5 offers backwards compatibility for the existing PlayStation 4 lineup of games, meaning you'll be able to play almost any PS4 game you already own on the new console. Some games will also offer the option to upgrade to a proper PS5-optimized next-gen title, like Cyberpunk 2077 or Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Here's how to get started:

How to play backwards compatible PlayStation 4 games

The PS5 will be able to play nearly every PS4 game that's available through backwards compatibility. Sony also promises that some games will actually be able to take advantage of the extra power on the new console to provide a "Game Boost" for faster or smoother frame rates. That said, Sony also warns that some functionality from PS4...

Twitter is fighting election chaos by urging users to quote tweet instead of retweet

Twitter announced a slew of temporary changes on Friday aimed at staving off abuse around the November 3rd US presidential election. Tweets that include premature claims of victory will be labeled, tweets intended to incite interference in the election or election results will be subject to removal, and tweets from political figures with more than 100,000 followers — which includes President Trump — that are labeled as "misleading" will be more difficult to access.

"Twitter has a critical role to play in protecting the integrity of the election conversation, and we encourage candidates, campaigns, news outlets and voters to use Twitter respectfully and to recognize our collective responsibility to the electorate to guarantee a safe, fair...
