Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek, who worked at Valve from 2004 to 2017, explained why Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike could get surprisingly small updates. Even the developers sometimes couldn’t believe how well players reacted. “Even at Valve, we’d be like, ‘I can’t believe we get away with this’,” Some Valve teams had huge numbers of devs working on tons of features, while Counter-Strike and TF2 could add a few skins and still excite players. Valve could say, “here’s five skins,” and the response would be “cool.”

One of the PS2’s biggest remaining hardware secrets has finally been cracked, 26 years after the console launched. After four years of work, modder DiscoStarslayer has managed to defeat and dump the MechaCon chip, this is an important part of the PS2’s hardware because it handles the optical disc drive and is involved in the console’s anti-piracy protections. After decapping the chip, optically dumping its contents and developing a software solution, the MechaCon can now be preserved and studied. The MechaCon’s contents can now be preserved and studied instead of remaining locked inside the original hardware. That could lead to new PS2 mods, better emulation, homebrew improvements, and potentially a proper optical drive emulator (ODE).

Microsoft is already testing ad-supported cloud gaming, so this could be another piece of its bigger advertising plans.
