Total War studio says they are “investigating” the AI-botched Shogun 2 remaster.

Sega recently pulled the recently-launched Complete Edition of the game, which was made in part by an external developer, after users found bugs and upscaling seemingly done by AI. “At Creative Assembly we do not use generative AI to create game assets, including AI-generated art,” Creative Assembly’s VP of Total War Roger Collum, said in a big post on Reddit. “We demand the same of any external developers we work with.” [Link: An Update from Roger on Shogun 2 - Complete Edition | https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1xd9us4/an_update_from_roger_on_shogun_2_complete_edition/ | Reddit]

Enjoy the chaos of a New York City CompUSA store with this video tour from the year 2000.

For those of us who can still remember heading to a brick and mortar store when it was time to buy a computer or peripherals, this video is a good reminder of what an absolute assault on the senses crowded PC shops were decades ago. And the floor to ceiling stacks of iMacs and Compaq desktops plus walls of CRT displays only add to that overwhelming feeling. [Media: https://youtu.be/1whsc_We7YU?si=YEuD_-z7a9p2Km7G]

Logitech’s new Pebble mouse pops-up for improved ergonomics.

Like its Mobi Fold that debuted last June, Logitech’s new Pebble Up is a wireless mouse that’s adaptable. But instead of folding in half, the upper section of the mouse pops up using a hinge and integrated support so its buttons and scroll wheel are positioned at a more ergonomic angle, similar to the Logitech Lift. The Pebble Up is currently only available from Logitech in China for around $38.

Inside Netflix’s creative clearout.

Alongside laying off 1,000 employees, Netflix has fired the heads of its film and content divisions this month. We’ve already explained the company can’t fire its way out of a slump that’s now hitting its engagement metrics, but Bloomberg recounts just why co-CEO Ted Sarandos thinks otherwise, and how he got here in the first place.

Amazon is planning more day-and-date releases for Luna.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was available to stream on Luna at no extra cost to Prime subscribers the same day it launched on other platforms, and in a post celebrating the one-year anniversary of Luna’s relaunch, Amazon says it “plans to bring more major games to Prime members through day-and-date releases.” Luna’s user base has also grown “fivefold” since the relaunch, Amazon’s gaming GM, Jeff Gattis, says in the post. I spoke to Gattis earlier this year about Amazon’s plan for games.
