Apple has finally caved to the Digital Markets Act, or DMA, and expects to bring some changes to the App Store policies to comply with the EU’s new ruling.

Apple warns that these changes could ‘materially adversely’ its business if changes are to […]

Today Grand Theft Auto fans got news they’ve been eagerly awaiting for a very long time, when Rockstar officially announced the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive sometime in December. Meanwhile, today also saw Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive release their latest quarterly earnings, which included a few more tidbits about what’s happening at the GTA studio. Q2 2024, which ran from the beginning of July to the end of September, was a solid one for Take-Two, as they brought in $1.44 billion in revenue. That represents a small year-on-year decline, but is still respectable considering T2 […]
