After more than a year that they could not come to a new agreement and let games being removed from Chinese market (except Diablo Immortal), Blizzard Entertainment will return to China via Xbox consoles. Back in November 2022, when Activision Blizzard were still independent, could not reach a new business agreement beyond the availability of Diablo Immortal (a whole different agreement) and let January 2023 as the official month of most of Blizzard Entertainment games to be retired. This week's announcement is basically a Microsoft Gaming led gaming success in China gaming market, that includes to explore bringing new NetEase games to Xbox consoles and other platforms. NetEase hasn't been in the bench despite losing a powerful partner like Blizzard (which rumors saying that in part, is was due disturbed communication with unpleasant misunderstandings for then CEO Bobby Kotick), as buying and investing in Westerns gaming studios. For immediate effect, Chinese gamers will expect the recovery of access of previous available titles like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and other titles in the Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo and StarCraft franchises. Of course, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer considers this agreement a new Xbox victory for bringing more games to more players around the world. #Gaming #GameNews #youtubegaming 🕹 🎮

Many people are underestimating China's approval of the Activision Blizzard acquisition just "because it is China". More and more CMA and FTC are losing legal standing, SPECIALLY CMA being scolded with another British agency pro that work to have the UK as business-friendly country. Things got interesting!

Good morning, Muñaños. I received good news and my family is negative for COVID-19, which gives me more peace of mind to be able to continue with this "Sabroso Chinazo"... Related to that, I was recommended to extend the quarantine for the next full week so unfortunately another week in AFK. With this, the game schedule is already affected because I haven't advanced much in Elden Ring and I'm not going to change until I finish it. Will be using this time reflecting on the next steps but if you could see some videos that will be going to upload videos on my FB Page and making some future considerations. And since I got free time now at hand, wanna focus on restructuring my YouTube Channel, for the time being content will began be more English except for podcast and selected content. Will withhold the May's 4th announcement as I need to sort out something first with the other party. Remember to take care and be responsible.

The Shenzhen region, China, is in quarantine after a surprising uptick in COVID-19 infections in the area. The problem for some technology companies including Apple and Samsung, means that operations at Foxconn, which supplies most of the components and assembly of their products, have been suspended until further notice. Although this should not continue to have an impact, the electronics market is already affected by a shortage of semiconductors as a result of these same events.

Amancese la región de Shenzhen, China, en cuarentena tras un sorpresivo repunte de contagios de COVID-19 en el área. El problema para algunas tecnologicas incluidas Apple y Samsung, significa que las operaciones en Foxconn, quien suple la mayoria de los componentes y ensamblaje de sus productos, fueron suspendidas hasta nuevo aviso.

La realidad es que una creación del hombre NO está exenta de fallas y esto incluye a UNIX y sus derivados y TAMBIÉN a su derivado más cerrado y accesible mediante hardware propietario macOS. Investigadores independientes y luego confirmados por ESET y Google afirman que en la calle se ha usado un malware que no había sido visto antes (vulnerabilidad día cero) y que pudiera ser peligroso. Se denominó como DazzleSpy y tiene la capacidad de poder grabar autónomamente contraseñas, hacer capturas de pantallas, acceder al micrófono y cámara, reiniciar sesiones del terminal, extraer archivos, empezar y terminar sesiones remotas. Este malware fue originalmente diseñado para infiltrarse en los movimientos pro democracia en Hong Kong por intereses de China, pero ha sido usado para propósitos generales a partir de otoño del 2021. Apple ya hizo los correspondientes parches pero la realidad es que el daño estaba ya en progreso y no fue hasta esta semana que fue de conocimiento general.

Poco después de salir de Sega y de director del estudio Ryu Ga Gotoku, Toshihiro Nagoshi anunció la fundación de su nuevo estudio Nagoshi Studio en Tokyo, Japón. Nagoshi Studio cuenta con varios talento de Sega y Ryu Ga Gotoku y además tiene a la tecnológica china NetEase como su principal socio, luego que el mismo Nagoshi indicara que estaría tomando una plaza de empleo que se le fue ofrecida inmediatamente salió de Ryu Ga Gotoku. Se desconoce cuál será su primer título a trabajar pero si es de evitarse escuchar a los abogados de Sega, posiblemente NO sea un derivado de Yakuza ni Judgement. https://nagoshistudio.com/

Por años se había escuchado que Intel lideraba una movida para evitar la dependencia de Asia, particularmente Taiwán y China para recursos de manufacturar chips y procesadores. A finales de la semana pasada, la americana dio el gran paso al anunciar que se construirá una planta de manufactura masiva en el estado de Ohio en una propiedad de más de 1000 acres y que será una inversión a largo plazo de $100 billones con 20 de ellos ya puestos para la construcción y desarrollo de las futuras facilidades. Se espera que la planta dependa de suplidores locales que al momento la suma es de 150 empresas y con la creación de más de 3,000 empleos directos para cuando la planta comience a operar, 7,000 para la construcción y los indirectos con negocios relacionados. A pesar del masivo anuncio, no se confirmó si la planta realmente impactará la dependencia del mercado asiatico para la manufactura de procesadores ya que no se especificó que trabajará en peso las facilidades pero se indicó que se manufacturan a procesos de 2nm. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220121005066/en/Intel-Announces-Next-US-Site-with-Landmark-Investment-in-Ohio/ #Intel #Tecnología
