In September 2026, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned, warning of the danger he sees in AI labs' pursuit of systems smarter than humans. He accused developers of "gambling with our lives" by making models more capable without knowing whether they can keep them under control. Safety specialists have voiced similar concerns: over the past few years, some have left OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, citing the rapid pace of development and insufficient attention to risks. We examine what concerns them, how much influence they had over management decisions, and how the companies have responded.

The summer of 2026 brought two major moments for GTA 6. First, on June 18, Rockstar Games launched the full marketing campaign for GTA 6: the studio announced the pre-order date, revealed the official cover art for the first time, and updated the logo. On June 25, pre-orders began opening across regions, revealing prices, editions, and bonuses. Then, in late August, Rockstar finally showed the game in motion with the "An Extended Look" gameplay presentation — its first major showcase in nearly a year and a half. We have gathered everything currently known about Grand Theft Auto 6 in one place — from its release date and price to the map, characters, gameplay, and online mode. Some details have been officially confirmed by Rockstar, some come from press previews, and others from leaks and datamining; we identify those separately.

On August 5, 2026, buyers of the cloud version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite for Nintendo Switch lost access to the game: the servers were shut down, and no refunds were issued. Less than two months earlier, the European Commission had declined to introduce mandatory rules requiring publishers to preserve access to sold games after support ends. The initiative was backed by 1,294,188 EU residents, but that was enough only to secure its formal consideration. We examine what Stop Killing Games is trying to achieve, why the European Commission rejected the movement's demands, and what other routes it is pursuing to bring about change.

A graphics card with a recommended price of $2,000 is selling for $5,000. This time, miners are not to blame, and scalpers are only part of the problem: the AI boom has prompted memory manufacturers to redirect production capacity toward more profitable data center orders. As a result, both system RAM and video memory are becoming more expensive, driving up the prices of graphics cards and other components. Here is why building a gaming PC has once again become an expensive proposition in 2026 — and when the situation might change.
