Epic Games asks court to force Apple to reinstate Fortnite

https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-requests-courts-stop-apples-retaliation-against-fortnite-suit/
Today we asked the Court to stop Apple’s retaliation against Epic for daring to challenge its unlawful restrictions while our antitrust case proceeds. This is a necessary step to free consumers and developers from Apple’s costly, anti-competitive control. https://t.co/r2XxhitjMp

Xbox Series X could cost $599, oof
https://screenrant.com/xbox-series-x-price-leak-pringles-promotion/
Looks like Pringles, of all brands, broke the Xbox Series X price for South Africa. If my maths checks out, this puts the XSX at around R13,5K locally? Unsure if that's excluding tax. https://t.co/luosSEa8Qi pic.twitter.com/UsDe2tfcAB

WHY THE HELL NOT
The world is going to hell. Doom on a pregnancy test
Yesterday I had a lot of retweets and reddit posts and such for playing Doom on a pregnancy test.
But as I explained then, it wasn't really PLAYING on a pregnancy test, it was just a video being played back, not an interactive game.Well, now it is. It's Pregnancy Test Doom! pic.twitter.com/Nrjyq07EVv
