NVIDIA only allowed RTX 5060 to be tested in 5 games, only with x3 frame generation in 1080p. And only if the review compares it to RTX 3060 and RTX 2060 Super, not all the cards.
The limitations are set via the special driver and some funky deal between NVIDIA and reviewers. This is why you may not expect real reviews to come out early enough, they found a few fake reviews instead!

Here's what it looked like
Same as usual, I played on Red Magic gaming phone with active cooling and shoulder triggers.
Custom autofocus and camera control in Blender by Wanderson M. Pimenta. The manual movement gives it a truly realistic feel 👏

YouTube will now automatically show ads after peaks. They expect it will significantly improve revenue. We expect it will destroy retention.
They also announced that previous practice when ads were shown during speech will be eliminated and the algorithm will always aim for a break or scene switching.

No, your Steam account isn't hacked. 89 millions of accounts are just some SMS logs, possibly stolen from one of the major mobile carriers in Europe. And they are not even covering 89m users, only up to 50m.
Despite that, an awkward hacker have tried to sell this chunk of data for $5K, pretending that it will allow the buyer to get into affected accounts.
The only possible outcome from this leak is spam and phishing: do not open links in messengers, email, etc. It is generally a bad idea, not just because of the leak. And do not enter your Steam credentials anywhere.

UPD: Dead Island 2 is meh. It feels synthetic at every corner, like a game that was made by a team of college students from California, who once played Dying Light.
And haven't played the original Dead Island, only watched the trailer or smth.
Not anymore: Warzone Mobile is discontinued — the game failed commercially. Most of the disappointment is related to the IW9 game engine, which is too heavy for an average mobile device.
A few years ago the same issues forced EA to shut down Apex Legends Mobile and Battlefield Mobile. Games looked gorgeous and felt superb, but only a fraction of users was able to play for at least 30 minutes in a row without burning their smartphones.

Apple is freaking out after their payments became legally optional in Europe and North America. They are losing billions every month on third party services with lower fees.
To counter that they are now showing this glorious WARNING to scare off the casual audience from using apps who implemented external payment systems.

It seems that Unity is trying to push for more money from its users. In some cases they asked developers to pay... for people who these developers do not know:

A hacker broke into Arc System Works and spread the source code of Guilty Gear. The RCE (remote code execution) fear is promoted by content creators, but it's unlikely.
The game itself isn't new, but the case is still notorious.

How big is the value of a game about cozy rooftops? I'd say — pretty high! 😉
