Online services shutting down August 31.
EA is pulling the plug and delisting a number of older Need for Speed titles today. This means that the games will no longer be available for sale, their in-game stores closed, and their online services will be shuttered. EA says that this decision was made as it is "shifting gears (GET IT?!) to focus on the future of Need for Speed." These removals seem to have come without any advance warning that we've seen.

Net Profits are Down for CD Projekt Red in Q1 2021
Fixing a broken game takes time and money.

Review: RIG 500 Pro HX Gen 2 Headset for Xbox
Fantastic audio quality at an affordable price.
I was recently given the opportunity to review some new hardware from RIG (they are owned by NACON now). You already saw what I thought about the RIG Pro Compact Wired Controller.

Microsoft Flight Simulator Install Size Cut in Half in New Update
That's some impressive optimization there.
Microsoft flight Simulator is a gigantic game. After all, it's a flight simulator that lets you fly literally anywhere on planet Earth. The minimum storage requirement for the game is a whopping 150GB but the installed size is often much higher than that, upwards of 170+GB in size. This probably annoys a lot of people regardless of whether of not they have monthly download caps from their ISP.
Fortunately, the latest update to... -
