Hi Ladies and Gentlepersons!

 

We just added our very own Mixer channel, where the team will play games (some of which haven't launched yet). You can subscribe to our channel at www.mixer.com/neowingaming. We will be playing Age of Empires: Definitive Edition first! 

 

Most importantly, we would love your input, on what you would like to see us play, and what we can do to improve the channel. It's early days, and we're not really good at this sort of thing. So be gentle ;)

 

See you soon!

Mixer.com? I'm at work so it gets flagged as gaming, but what is it, a streaming service like Twitch?

It's Microsofts version of Twitch.

 

It's a great idea guys, gaming was what brought me here and I'm glad to see the new focus on it.

 

Do you have any idea of schedule, times you guys will play? Is the idea to play a few hours and review or are you looking to do long, multiple hour play throughs of games?

Hi Skiver

 

We'll try to stream as much as possible depending on schedules. 

You need to make sure you tweet out each time you're streaming, ideally you should maybe send a tweet leading up to each and every stream telling people what you're going to play etc.

 

I don't know how Mixer sends out notifications but Neowin gaming already has around 1000 followers so you may get a better audience if you use something people are already reading. The forums are another great way of course and you can get a lot of feedback here and discuss both games to play AND the game you just played. 

 

Are you sticking to a specific platform? One idea could be to play and review the Xbox Games with gold games as and when they release.

Yeah, I will play both Xbox One and Windows 10 games. Currently, I'm reviewing Age of Empires DE, and soon Surviving Mars, then Sea of Thieves. :) Will see how we can coordinate the tweeting bit. Thanks for the tips.

Yes, I believe it is, how did you do on "The Inside"? :D

I forgot to turn on the lights, so everything looks dark grey. There are also these inexplicable puzzles popping up if I just want to walk around. Very weird. Will have a look at Outside though, seems pretty polished for an early access game. :p

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
