On May 6, Rockstar Games released the second trailer for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI without any prior announcements, delighting fans. The video, published on the company's official YouTube channel, collected more than 45 million views in the first 14 hours. Let's recall that the debut trailer for GTA VI in December 2023 set a world record for the number of views in the first 24 hours on YouTube (more than 90 million) for non-music videos.

The fan port of Majora’s Mask to PC, Zelda 64: Recompiled, now supports mods. And the first mod, of course, was DOOM - a full-fledged launch of DOOM right inside Zelda. Created by enthusiast Dario with the support of Wiseguy (lead developer of Zelda 64: Recompiled) and Reonu, the Doom Mod modification allows you to play the legendary id Software shooter directly inside The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. By pressing the L and R buttons, a table appears in front of Link, on which there is a PC with Doom running - the hero only has to sit down and start playing.

Epic Games has spent more than $100 million on legal and litigation services in its lawsuit against Apple, the company's CEO Tim Sweeney told Business Insider. “We can’t say exactly how much we would have made on iOS, but over the two years we’ve been on the platform, Fortnite has made about $300 million on iOS. So you could project hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue as a result of the struggle,” the Epic Games CEO said. He said it’s “easy to assume” that the total cost of lost revenue for Epic Games was a billion dollars or more, based on lost revenue from iOS users and lost revenue from people not playing because their friends with iOS devices weren’t able to because of Apple’s restrictions. Sweeney told Business Insider that Epic Games will take advantage of Apple's n...
