Yahoo today made a strategic decision to defend itself against a possible hostile takeover by Microsoft: The March 14 deadline for nominating directors to its board has been canceled and delayed to a not yet specified time in the future. Yahoo hopes that this move will allow the company to be undistracted in the search for alternatives to a $44.6 billion Microsoft buyout.
Nintendo announced Friday that several of its long-time partners, including DeNA, will sell off some ¥300 billion in company shares.
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
What's a "Yahoo!"? Is that like Google or something?
It's funny how business works like politics... so... all of the sudden Yahoo became a dictatorship... and democracy where directors decide when they want to retire from their position...
Are they trying to make their investors sells all their stocks?
