Project CARS 2 does not use Denuvo as it’s too “restrictive” and would “annoy” its users
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/project-cars-2-does-not-use-denuvo-as-its-too-restrictive-and-would-annoy-its-users/
Slightly Mad Studios’ Ian Bell has revealed that their new sim racing game, Project CARS 2, will not be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Now this is a pleasant surprise for a triple-A game as most of them are using it.

 

Valve aims to combat Steam review bombing with new 'histogram' charts
http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-aims-to-combat-steam-review-bombing-with-new-histogram-charts/
"Review-bombing" is a coordinated effort to damage the public profile of a company or product by inundating it with negative reviews. Actual problems with the product in question often have nothing to do with it: Dota 2 got hammered last month because Valve won't make Half-Life 3, and more recently Firewatch suffered because of Sean Vanaman's beef with Pewdiepie. As we reported earlier this summer, it happens because it works, and it's become enough of a problem that Valve has finally been forced to address the issue.

Here is a new video from the PC version of Need for Speed Payback, running in 4K with 60fps on a single GTX1080Ti
http://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/here-is-a-new-video-from-the-pc-version-of-need-for-speed-payback-running-in-4k-with-60fps-on-a-single-gtx1080ti/
NVIDIA has released a new video for Need for Speed Payback, showcasing the PC version running in glorious 4K with 60fps. NVIDIA claimed that this new NFS game was running in 4K and with 60fps on a single NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti. As such, it’s pretty safe to assume that Need for Speed Payback will run really smooth on the PC platform.

>>I post this for the new gameplay, because if a 1080Ti can't run it at 4K@60fps, then there's something wrong with the game.
