Sorry, You’re (Probably) Never Going To Get Another Need For Speed Game https://ift.tt/EcXFl6B As Criterion focuses on Battlefield moving forward, Battlefield Studios Europe's vice president and general manager, Rebecka Coutaz, has confirmed that the Need for Speed and Burnout franchises are not the focus of the company anymore. "We're not here to talk about the past," she said during a celebration of Criterion's 30th anniversary (via IGN ).

Twitch Is Taking Action On Deepfake Porn https://ift.tt/3f8ztA0

Twitch has finally released a statement about deepfake pornography after an incident in January involving multiple high-profile streamers. The company has vowed to take immediate action, which includes a change to the platform's policy, consulting with an online safety expert, and a Creator Camp to help streamers protect themselves.
