| As Epic v. Apple approaches the courtroom, Valve is getting sued over Steam too Posted: 01 May 2021 03:17 PM PDT  Just two days before Apple gets dragged into a California court to justify its 30 percent App Store fee — and two days after Microsoft axed its 30 percent cut on PC — we're learning that gaming giant Valve is now facing down lawsuits against its own 30 percent cut and alleged anticompetitive practices with its PC gaming platform Steam. "Valve abuses its market power to ensure game publishers have no choice but to sell most of their games through the Steam Store, where they are subject to Valve's 30% toll," argues indie game developer and Humble Bundle creator Wolfire Games, in a lawsuit filed Tuesday (via Ars Technica). Much like Epic v. Apple, the new suit argues that a platform owner is using an... |
| Newsmax apologizes to employee of Dominion Voting Systems over false election accusations Posted: 01 May 2021 02:46 PM PDT  Conservative news channel Newsmax has posted an apology to an employee of Dominion Voting Systems, after it reported without evidence that he was involved in manipulating results of the 2020 US presidential election. "On behalf of Newsmax, we would like to apologize for any harm that our reporting of the allegations against Dr. Coomer may have caused to Dr. Coomer and his family," a statement posted to Newsmax's website states. According to the statement, there was no substance to the allegations made about Eric Coomer, Dominion's director of product strategy and security:

| Epic-backed expert says Apple’s app store profit is as high as 78 percent Posted: 01 May 2021 12:43 PM PDT  An expert witness for Epic Games testified that Apple's App Store had operating margins above 70 percent in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, new court documents show. Ned Barnes testified that information from Apple's Corporate Financial Planning and Analysis group show the App Store had a 77.8 percent operating margin in 2019, and 74.9 percent in 2018. The figures are close to Barnes' calculations of the App Store's profits, he testified, and "also refute criticisms of my report proffered by certain Apple expert witnesses that it is not possible to calculate reliably or usefully the operating margins of the App Store." Barnes also testified that Apple has been tracking its App Store profits for several years. Apple has hotly contested that... |
| California appeals court finds Amazon responsible for third party sellers’ products Posted: 01 May 2021 09:59 AM PDT  An appeals court in California has ruled that Amazon can be held liable for products sold through its marketplace by a third-party seller, the Los Angeles Times reported. It's the second major case in California where an appeals court has rejected Amazon's long-held position that it is merely an intermediary between buyers and its third-party sellers. Amazon collectively refers to these sellers as its "Amazon Marketplace" even though it's not a separate or distinct part of Amazon's website. Third-party sellers' products typically appear in Amazon listings, with a small line of text to indicate that Amazon itself is not the actual seller. At issue was the case of a woman who suffered burn injuries after a hoverboard she purchased on... |
| Former Netflix executive convicted of money laundering Posted: 01 May 2021 08:50 AM PDT  A former Netflix executive was convicted of taking bribes and kickbacks from vendors doing business with the company, according to the US Department of Justice. Michael Kail, who was Netflix's vice president of information technology operations from 2011 to 2014, was found guilty by a jury of money laundering, and wire and mail fraud. According to the DOJ, Kail used his position at the company to "unlock a stream of cash and stock kickbacks" for himself Netflix sued Kail in 2014 claiming he hid payments from vendors by directing them to his personal consulting company. According to the DOJ, Kail accepted bribes totaling more than $500,000, as well as stock options from nine tech companies that provided products or services to Netflix. K... |
| Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is like an epic yet enigmatic novel Posted: 01 May 2021 08:00 AM PDT  At some point during my time with Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, after I read yet another minutes-long dialogue sequence to try and learn more information about the game's murder mystery, I realized I felt like I was slowly working my way through a long novel — one that went just a little bit over my head. In The Final Cut, an enhanced version of the 2019 cult hit role-playing game that made its console debut on PlayStation in March, you play as a cop with amnesia investigating a murder case about a hanged man. You'll explore a fictional place called Revachol and talk to a huge cast of characters to piece together clues about the hanged man's killer. Almost every conversation or interaction has an extensive dialogue tree, allowing you... |
| Florida bill would fine social media platforms for banning politicians— with exemption for Disney Posted: 01 May 2021 07:56 AM PDT  Florida is on the verge of passing legislation that would fine social media companies like Twitter and Facebook that "knowingly de-platform" political candidates. The bill was first proposed in February by Gov. Ron DeSantis, a supporter of former President Trump, although Florida Republicans insist the bill has nothing to do with the former president, a famous denizen of social media who was banned earlier this year by major platforms. The Florida House of Representatives passed SB 7072 by a vote of 77 to 38 on Thursday, after the state Senate voted Monday to pass the measure. The bill now goes back to the Senate to approve some of the changes made by the House; the Senate's version called for fines of $10,000 per day for banning a... |
| New vaccine perks: halftime shots and savings bonds Posted: 01 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT  If you're one of the few thousand people heading to see the Milwaukee Bucks play the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, May 2nd, you have a chance to get a very special souvenir during the game — your first dose of a Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. The unusual vaccination drive is part of a host of new efforts across the US to get people their shots, whether that's by bribing them with savings bonds in West Virginia or hosting vaccine clinics at professional basketball games in Wisconsin. In the US, vaccine supplies are high, but demand is starting to taper off, as my colleague Nicole Wetsman wrote last week. That means that people are getting a lot more creative about ways to convince people to get their shots. You know, in case the free beer, free... |
| Enjoy these limited-time tech and gaming discounts Posted: 01 May 2021 06:30 AM PDT  We've reached the weekend, and the start of another month. Sayonara, April, and hello to May. The past few days at The Verge have been some of the best tech deals so far this year, like the now-expired deal that knocked $150 off the Apple Watch Series 6, putting it lower in price than even the Apple Watch SE. That one sold out in just a few hours, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it come again soon. Not all of the best sales of the week have ended. You can save on PC games in celebration of Golden Week in Japan, and get $80 off a Google Nest Wifi bundle, to name a couple of examples. Find even more below. Save up to $147 on a preorder of a new M1 iPad Pro or iMacApple announced that the new iPad Pro and the colorful iMacs will... |
| Sony’s new prime lenses are the small saviors I’ve been looking for Posted: 01 May 2021 06:00 AM PDT  The new Sony 24mm f/2.8, 40mm f/2.5, and 50mm f/2.5 are three new compact prime lenses that each cost $599.99 and will be shipping in mid-May. While they uphold the reputation of quality Sony has established with the G lineup, it's their uniformity and small size that come as a welcomed surprise. Uniformity and size are so rarely a topic of discussion in regards to lenses. As a video-first creator, 67mm, 77mm, and 82mm are common thread sizes in my gear bag. But it feels like with every new lens I buy I have to factor in the cost of a new ND filter or a step-up or down ring. These three new lenses all conveniently share the same 49mm filter thread. Then there is weight and size. It's no secret that bags with full-frame camera gear are... |
