Wondering how to keep your cool as the temperature rises?

Splitgate 2's Ian Proulx thought his Musk gag was funny - but what it revealed was the major blind spots still in the businessOne thing most game developers can agree on in the modern industry is that it's hard to drum up any awareness for your latest project without a mammoth marketing budget. Last year, almost 20,000 new titles were released on the PC gaming platform Steam alone, the majority disappearing into the content blackhole that is the internet. So when a smaller studio is offered the chance to get on the stage at the Summer Games Fest, an event streamed live to a global audience of around 50 million people, it's a big deal. Not something that you want to spectacularly misjudge.Enter Ian Proulx, cofounder of 1047 Games. His short slot at the event earlier this month had him walking on stage with a baseball bat to promote the online shooter Splitgate 2 by announcing that he was tired of playing the same Call of Duty every year", while wearing a cap bearing the slogan Make FPS great again". It did not go well. Gamers and fellow developers criticised his decision to diss another studio's game as well as his politically charged use of a Maga/Trump meme, especially with anti-ICE protesters being beaten and arrested just across town. Proulx defended his actions, denying that his use of the cap slogan was political, but four days later he made an apology via X explaining: We needed something to grab attention, and the honest truth is, we tried to think of something and this is what we came up with."

Sam Altman describes offer from Mark Zuckerberg's company as crazy', as scramble for talent intensifiesThe boss of OpenAI has claimed that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has tried to poach his top artificial intelligence experts with crazy" signing bonuses of $100m (74m), as the scramble for talent in the booming sector intensifies.Sam Altman spoke about the offers in a podcast on Tuesday.

Nintendo has slept on new games for its new handheld but clockwork-puzzle murder missions, an RPG reborn and a beefed-up Yakuza 0 are the highlights from other developersThe Nintendo Switch 2 certainly makes a strong first impression, but once that gadget limerence begins to fade, it's down to the games to stave off any creeping buyer's remorse. We all know that Mario Kart World is undoubtedly a multiplayer masterpiece, and original Switch games from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet to Zelda have been updated to look amazing on the new console, but there's otherwise a severe lack of Nintendo-made launch games for the Switch (beyond the 8 tech demo, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour).Thankfully, other developers have stepped in to fill the gap, releasing a bunch of updated versions of games that have been out on other consoles for a while. What should you pick up when you're tired of Mario Kart World? Continue reading...

Act swiftly and these steps could help mitigate the damage from a sim-swap scam and prevent it happening againYour mobile phone line is the artery through which data, calls and texts flow. It is also used to prove you are who you say you are for a plethora of accounts, from banks to messaging services.But if it gets hacked or stolen, in what is known as a sim swap" or simjacking", the consequences can be far worse than just being cut off from mobile data or calls. Unfortunately it is the kind of hack you don't see coming. It happens in the background, with hackers using your personal data such as date of birth and address to con your network provider into swapping your phone number to a new sim in their possession.Keep an eye on notifications from your mobile network, which are usually delivered by SMS. These include information about activity elsewhere and alerts of change requests, such as your phone number being activated on another device.Be aware of scams. Fraudsters may and try to trick you out of information using fake notifications. If you receive a message asking you to get in touch, double-check that any number you are given is legitimate before calling, or use a number from the provider's website or a bill.Any loss of service that prevents calling, texting or accessing mobile data and is not explained by outages or missed payments may be a sim-swap attack.Loss of access to various accounts such as your bank or social media linked to your phone number could indicate hackers are in the process of trying to break in or have already changed your password and stolen the account.Frequently review statements and account for unexpected charges, which may be a sign that you've been hacked.Call your provider on the customer service number listed on its site using another phone. Have your phone number and details ready, including any account passwords you may have set. Explain what has happened and make sure your provider begins the recovery process and investigates how this has happened.Ask your provider to block any charge to bill" activity.Contact your bank, crypto and other financial services immediately to ensure the hackers cannot get into your other accounts, which are typically their primary targets.Contact your immediate family and anyone who could fall victim to a scammer pretending to be you and texting from your number.Check any account you use your phone number for two-step verification. Change the two-step method if you can and set a new strong password.Check your WhatsApp and other messaging services that use your phone number as the user ID.Activate any and all security measures on your provider's account. This includes using a strong password and two-step verification, and setting a sim pin on your phone, as well as adding a telephone customer service password and a sim transfer pin, if available.Find out from your provider how the hack happened, and if possible, what personal data was used to break into your account. Consider using fake security question answers that cannot be guessed rather than real ones, just make sure you store them safely such as in a password manager.Set a spend cap on your phone account.As soon as you are sure you have full control again, reactivate two-step verification on your accounts and transition any that you can to authenticator app-based two-step verification, which is more secure.Set pins on messaging services such as WhatsApp or Signal to make it much harder for someone else to register new devices or take over your account.Contact your financial services providers to reactivate your accounts but keep watching out for fraud and query any unexpected transactions.Look at your social media and other public-facing accounts for any information that could enable criminals to steal your identity to perform hacks such as this.

As international tensions mount and hackers grow more sophisticated and audacious, the Nordic Maritime Cyber Resilience Centre is constantly monitoring the global threat of war, terror and piracyShips being taken over remotely by hackers and made to crash is a scenario made in Hollywood.

Originally meant to release in 2022, Capcom's futuristic game - featuring an astronaut and a mysterious blond-haired little girl - has just re-emerged from stasis; and it looks like it will be worth the waitWhen Pragmata was first announced five years ago, it wasn't clear exactly what Resident Evil publisher Capcom was making. The debut trailer featured eerie, futuristic imagery, an astronaut, and a blond-haired little girl, but there was nothing concrete or clear about its content. And when it missed its 2022 release window and was paused indefinitely" in 2023, it wasn't clear if Pragmata would ever come to be.That all changed on 4 June, when a brand-new trailer was broadcast during a PlayStation showcase. The blond-haired little girl turns out to be a weaponised android, accompanying an astronaut called Hugh (of course) through space-station shootouts. I played about 20 minutes of the game during Summer Game Fest the following weekend. A lengthy, troubled development cycle is usually a bad omen, but my time with it was promising.Pragmata will be out in 2026 for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Continue reading...

Smartphones offer instant stimulation, but do they silence a deeper message?In 2014, a group of researchers from Harvard University and the University of Virginia asked people to sit alone with their thoughts for 15minutes. The only available diversion was a button that delivered a painful electric shock. Almost half of the participants pressed it. One man pressed the button 190 times - even though he, like everyone else in the study, had earlier indicated that he found the shock unpleasant enough that he would pay to avoid being shocked again. The study's authors concluded that people prefer doing to thinking", even if the only thing available to do is painful - perhaps because, if left to their own devices, our minds tend to wander in unwanted directions.Since the mass adoption of smartphones, most people have been walking around with the psychological equivalent of a shock button in their pocket: a device that can neutralise boredom in an instant, even if it's not all that good for us. We often reach for our phones for something to do during moments of quiet or solitude, or to distract us late at night when anxious thoughts creep in. This isn't always a bad thing - too much rumination is unhealthy - but it's worth reflecting on the fact that avoiding unwanted mind-wandering is easier than it's ever been, and that most people distract themselves in very similar, screen-based ways.

In this week's newsletter: Happy 20th birthday to the forum that reshaped fandom and is one of the internet's most eccentric collaborative spacesIt only ended a few years ago, but Westworld already feels a bit of a TV footnote. A pricey mid-2010s remake of a 70s Yul Brynner movie few people remembered, HBO's robot cowboy drama lumbered on for four lukewarm seasons before getting cancelled - with few people really noticing.Still, when it premiered, Westworld was big news. Here was a show well-placed to do a Game of Thrones, only for sci-fi. Its high production values were married to an eye-catching cast (Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright) and it was run by the crack team of Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, who promised they had a playbook for how the whole show would shake out. This, of course, was an important promise in that immediate post-Lost period, where everyone was terrified that they would be strung along by a show that was making it up as they went along" (as a Lost defender, I have to say at this point that they weren't making it up as they went along", but that's an argument for another newsletter).

This year's event showcased gaming's evolving landscape, from blockbuster titles to standout indie projects Don't get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereAs protests exploded in Los Angeles last weekend, elsewhere in the city, a coterie of games journalists and developers were gathered together to play new games at the industry's annual summer showcase. This week's issue is a dispatch from our correspondent Alyssa Mercante.Summer Game Fest (SGF), the annual Los Angeles-based gaming festival/marketing marathon, was set up to compete with the once-massive E3. It's taken a few years, but now it has replaced it. 2025's event felt like a cogent reminder that the games industry has dramatically changed since the pandemic. Whereas E3 used to commandeer the city's convention centre smack in the middle of downtown LA, SGF is off the beaten path, nestled among the reams of fabric in the Fashion District, adjacent to Skid Row. There are fewer game companies present, it's not open to the public and there's no cosplay, unless it's for marketing purposes. Continue reading...

Four days into a public feud between the world's most powerful person and the world's richest person, I declare Musk the loserElon Musk and Donald Trump are no longer friends. Tension between the two exploded into public view in the middle of last week, with each leveling sharp barbs at the other.

Special featherweight, titanium edition of top Android has large screen but sacrifices battery and camera for designHaving been instrumental in the reduction of smartphones to metal and glass slabs devoid of distinguishing features, Samsung hopes that going thinner and lighter with a special Edge edition of its high-end Galaxy S25 Android will prove design innovation isn't dead.The S25 Edge is very thin at just 5.8mm thick - if you ignore the camera bump on the back - making it a full 1.5mm thinner than its similarly sized S25+ sibling and about the same thickness as a stack of seven credit cards. Its light 168g weight makes it feel even thinner than the numbers suggest and photos don't do it justice. Continue reading...
