Developer Cancels Among Us 2 Due To Popularity Focuses To Improve The Original Instead

While that may sound like a bad thing but it is actually very much the opposite, according to the game’s developer. Instead of working on its sequel which was announced last month, InnerSloth revealed that it will focus on improving and providing support to the original game. For those unfamiliar, Among Us was originally released in 2018 and saw no mainstream attention only until recently. This is due to the game often featured by YouTubers and live streamers on Twitch on their respective channels....

The report states that the crowd noises will even be team-specific to “replicate the vibrant atmosphere of Premier League clashes”. These sounds will come courtesy of EA sports, which has the exclusive license to make the FIFA games. If you don’t like the idea of the artificial noises, viewers will have the option to turn it off. You can kind of see why that idea would be given consideration. After all, there have barely been any football matches that have taken place in empty stadiums....

Facebook Survives Major Lawsuit That Could Have Broken Up Its Empire

Unsurprisingly, the court’s decision moved the markets. The price of Facebook’s shares rose by over 4% after the ruling, pushing the company’s total value over US$1 trillion (~RM4.15 trillion) for the first time, Reuters reported. The judge who presided over the case ruled that the FTC failed to prove that Facebook had monopoly power in the US social networking market. He further dismissed a lawsuit initiated by many US states because they took too long to challenge the company’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014 respectively....
