"The cause of 5% of the total energy crisis is something that should have been fixed long ago. The things that we leave plugged in siphon our power supply, are wasting our money, and doing harm to the environment. Simply because we cannot unplug our electronics!"
This is what the Vampire Electronics Team is stating. Their efforts are mainly concentrated on unplugging chargers and other things that are not usually in use. It is presumed that several corporations have already received emails about reforming their policies concerning vampire electronics.
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.
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.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
I always wondered how much energy my ps3 consumed at idle. I hear it consumes more also when it's on Remote-play standby.
Yes, it consumes a large amount of energy along with chargers, PCs, cable boxes, and other game consoles. I never thought that things would consume so much when they were not in use.
I'm more concerned about who my electronics are calling when I'm not home than how much power they're consuming when pretending to be asleep.
