The appearance of the extinct animal has been a mystery – until now.

News of the burned-out AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has spread fast and wide enough to prompt an official response from MSI, the manufacturer of the MSI Mag X870 Tomahawk motherboard used by the PC builder who shared the original story on Reddit. While there’s no suggestion at this stage that MSI or AMD are at fault here, the company has been quick to release a statement updating customers about the incident. Companies such as AMD and MSI can’t rely on bad press hitting the airwaves so quickly after such a major launch, so it makes sense for MSI to get ahead on this one. Some of the best gaming motherboards available are made by MSI, but AMD’s CPU is also potentially on the line. The 9800X3D immediately became the best gaming CPU when it was launched, but we can't imagine AMD will want reputational damage like this spreading.

The CEO of GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition developer Grove Street Games has responded to the game’s latest update. Though GTA 6 is now its main focus, Rockstar recently launched a fix for the remastered versions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas which reintroduced the weather and sky effects from the original editions of each game. The opening ‘splash’ screen was also changed - the new version excludes any mention of Grove Street Games. The developer is still listed in the closing credits, however, but immediately following the update, there was speculation that mentions of Grove Street Games may have been removed from GTA The Trilogy entirely. In light of this, the developer’s CEO describes the update as “dick move” on behalf of Rockstar, and says that it contains fixes that “stayed out of players’ hands for years.” Continue reading GTA Definitive Edition developer says Rockstar pulled a “d*ck move” MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best old games on PC, Best GTA 5 RP servers, GTA 6 release date

Stalker 2 fans are calling out the game's developer after a massive shift in system requirements, which require upscaling technologies such as AMD FSR and Nvidia DLSS to hit the stated frame rates. The situation got a little hot around the collar, with one critical fan being banned from the game’s Steam forums, prompting an apology from the developer. GSC Game World changed the Stalker 2 system requirements considerably, and quite close to launch. The original specs were published when the game was expected in 2021. Since the war in Ukraine and a move to Unreal Engine 5 caused significant delays, Stalker 2 has been through a tumultuous development cycle.
