Deadlock surpassed 100,000 concurrent players, Valve adds wall jumping
Valve's latest game Deadlock continues rising up the most-played games ranking on Steam, despite it being invite-only and the developers continue expanding it.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
UK Universities are likely to extend access to Elsevier collection for another year, despite huge deficits of many Universities (including Cambridge).
See what MIT did:
2019 - MIT cancelled big deal and instead subscribed to 675 journals (of
about 2.5K available?)
2020 - they cancelled all Elsevier subscriptions - relying instead on
back-access and interlibrary loans.
Estimated savings: 80% of original spend - saving 2 million USD/year now...

So the NFL won't allow community ownership: defector.com/the-columbus-clip…

NFL Loosens Strict Ownership Rules to Allow Private Equity Investments
The move, approved by owners, is expected to attract billions in fresh capital while boosting team valuations that had already been surging.Randall Williams / Bloomberg (Time)
@katanova My understanding is the NFL owners are terrified of anything that doesn't smell of profit maximization, because it risks lowering the value of their assets.
The Defector article I linked to is great on the legacy of and resistance to public ownership in US sports.
@katanova But in many parts of the world, fan ownership is a real option:

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •Looks nice.
But: I am a little bit sick of kiddy friendly colorful non-sensical games. It's the Fortnite-ism of the gaming industry, imho. Driven by greed.
Best example: Call of Duty.
It's called "Modern Warfare" or "Black Ops" and it sounds serious. But then multiplayer is hysterical as shit and has nothing to do with war scenarios any longer.
I hope Delta Force is not doing this shit ...
