A Tech Affair episode 216: Telegram arrest, "Black Myth Wukong" controversy, "Star Wars Outlaws"
We talk about the arrest of Telegram CEO Pawel Durow, the success and controversy surrounding "Black Myth Wukong" and "Star Wars Outlaws", which is also convincing without Jedis.
Pawel Durow has been arrested in Paris. The Telegram CEO is facing serious charges relating to his messenger platform. The action game "Black Myth Wukong" breaks numerous records on Steam. Its success is dampened by accusations of sexism against the Chinese studio Game Sciene.
Kevin Costner's pet project "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" seems to be developing more like a flop. The western epic is long and disjointed, but should not be written off just yet. After all, the estimated final nine hours of film are still missing.
"Star Wars Outlaws" is also extensive. The open-world adventure focuses on contemplative scoundrel action instead of universe-spanning Jedi dramas. We like it. Just like the new edition "Age of Mythology Retold". It makes the real-time strategy classic play like it did 20 years ago, only prettier and more accessible.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
