Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer spin-off could come with micro-transactions: Rumor

One of the games that has drummed up a world of hype and interest is Cyberpunk 2077. Developed by CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077 is essentially the brainchild of one, Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the original pen and paper role-playing game. The game is touted to be one of the most immersive and expansive worlds out there and we honestly can’t wait to see exactly what the developers of The Witcher series have in store for us. 

But, and this is a big but, there have been rumblings of the company shoving microtransactions into the multiplayer feature of the game. This is exactly the kind of shady practice you’d associate with companies like EA and Activision but for CD Project Red, a company that was one of the more gamer friendly companies out there, to do this? This essentially sends a very clear message to gamers that their love and adoration doesn’t matter and what it eventually comes down to is cash. 

In an earnings presentation that took place recently, a spokesperson for the company said, ”We believe right now it is definitely too early to share any details on that or give guidance [as] the project is in the relatively early stage.” He continued by saying ,” We keep experimenting. It's our first multiplayer game. We check different options and possibilities, and it's definitely not the time to point you to a specific direction on that. But you can expect that we won't change our general policy toward deals with gamers. So expect wise monetization and always value for money.”

The company has neither confirmed or declined to comment on the feature being implemented in the multiplayer mode on Cyberpunk 2077, but is history is to go by, then you can be sure that CD Project Red will look to squeeze out every drop of blood from its users, just like EA and Activision.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
