Hey remember when for a brief shining moment the games industry had access to all the talent in the entire world instead of just those who live in LA or whatever and then they arbitrarily decided “yeah actually we don’t want that”
Good times, good times.
U.S. TikTok users have been experiencing issues all weekend, with new owners claiming glitches were down to a "power outage at a U.S. data center." Here's more from @BBCNews.

The EU launches a probe of Musk's Grok chatbot.
The European Commission on Monday opened an investigation into the AI chatbot Grok over its production of explicit deepfake images.
