To celebrate an entire year on PC, Bungie and Activision, in collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, announce that from November 2nd to November 18th everyone on Blizzard’s Battle.net gaming platform who has not already purchased Destiny 2—or any new members joining Battle.net—will have the opportunity to claim the game as a free gift.
Destiny 2 will be available on the Battle.net app to claim for free for a little more than two weeks in November, and players will have the opportunity to download the game once they’ve claimed it*. New Battle.net accounts created after 19:00 BST on November 2, 2018, will be required to enable Blizzard SMS Protect before claiming their game license. Destiny 2 is redeemable from https://account.blizzard.com/gifts/.
Existing players of Destiny 2 PC will receive an exclusive emblem not available anywhere else, which becomes available in December, to commemorate the first anniversary of being on Battle.net. Additionally, new Guardians will have the opportunity to try out Destiny 2: Forsaken’s new mode “Gambit,” from November 9th through 11th 2018, during the Gambit Free Weekend. Gambit is a 4v4 hybrid activity included with Destiny 2: Forsaken. More details are available at http://www.destinythegame.com/Battlenet/.
“We know Destiny players that want to play on PC expect an amazing experience, whether it’s on their own or with their friends -- so, our paramount concern was to keep the discerning requirements of the PC community in mind, and welcoming the Battle.net and Bungie PC communities together,” said Steve Cotton, game director for Destiny 2: Forsaken at Bungie. He added, “With this gift we look forward to seeing new Guardians in our universe.”
The genre-defining Destiny franchise has received global acclaim since its release in 2014, followed by a record-breaking Destiny 2’s PC launch in 2017, the largest PC launch in Activision Publishing history based on units. Developed by Bungie, and brought to PC in partnership with Vicarious Visions, Destiny 2 delivers a native PC experience with PC-specific features such as: 4K resolution support, uncapped frame rate, full mouse and keyboard support with custom key mapping, text chat, adjustable field of view, a detailed PC settings screen, 21:9 and triple monitor support, and HDR. In the story of Destiny 2, the last city on Earth has fallen and lies in ruins. Players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city's forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home.

At Blizzcon 2018's opening ceremony this morning, World of Warcraft executive producer John Hight announced that the upcoming recreation of World of Warcraft's original release, World of Warcraft Classic, will be free to anyone with an existing World of Warcraft subscription.
World of Warcraft Classic is currently planned for release in summer of 2019 and a playable demo will be available at Blizzcon, or to anyone with a Blizzcon Virtual Ticket.
Classic was announced one year ago as an answer to the growing problem of fan-hosted legacy servers for the game. At the time, then-executive producer (now-Blizzard president) J Allen Brack said that Classi would "replicate the game experience" of Vanilla World of Warcraft, but would be adapted to work better on modern technology.
Some more modern features that have been confirmed already to make it into Classic include colorblind mode, player reporting, Battle.net chat implementation, and widescreen monitor support.

GroovyMame v0.202 SwitchRes v0.017j is released. GroovyMame is a custom M.A.M.E. build mainly aimed at CRT monitors, as we are convinced CRT technology is a must when it comes to enjoying emulation in its full glory. However you can use GroovyMAME to alliviate some of the annoyances associated to emulation on LCD displays, specially for those models which are capable of refreshing at custom rates.
GroovyMame v0.202 SwitchRes v0.017j changelog:
- Attempt at fixing mode selection issues on LCD monitors caused by a mismatch where Windows reports modes as interlaced but AMD drivers return progressive timings.

Virtual ][ v8.6 is released. Virtual is a commercial Apple II emulator for Mac OS. Virtual ][ lets you play the old Apple games, because it supports all graphics modes, lets you control the game paddles with a USB game pad or mouse and emulates the internal speaker. When you want to temporarily interrupt gameplay, Virtual ][ allows you to save the entire virtual machine, and continue later on from where you left off.
But Virtual ][ also supports more "serious" software, because it emulates many peripheral devices: floppy disk, hard disk, mouse, serial port, matrix printer, even cassette tape! It also emulates the Z80A processor, allowing you to run the CP/M operating system.
And for the technically inclined: you can configure the machine by "inserting" and "removing" emulated peripheral cards, change the CPU speed, or even install your own emulated character generator ROM. The "Inspector" feature allows you to closely observe the behavior of the emulated machine and debug Apple II programs.
If you have original diskettes and a working Apple II, Virtual ][ can help you convert the diskettes to the Mac, even if they are "copy protected".
The program automatically indexes all Apple II disk images on your Mac, so you can find an Apple II file instantly, by entering its name.
You can download an evaluation version and try the program first. If you like the program, you can buy a license and fully enjoy the nostalgic fun of the old Apple ][ computer.
Virtual ][ requires an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" or better.
Virtual ][ v8.6Changelog:
* Added a keyboard shortcut to enter and exit full screen.
* The Inspector's instruction trail now also shows the processor cycle count at the start of each instruction.
* The instruction trail can now be saved as a tab-separated text file.
* Increased the maximum capacity of the instruction trail to 9999999 instructions (a tenfold increase). This is enough to capture roughly 35 to 40 seconds of CPU activity at regular speed. Be aware that saving such a large trail takes some time and results in a big file!
* When ejecting a diskette, the disk image was always saved, even if the disk had not been modified. This bug was introduced recently, and has now been corrected; a disk image is only saved if the disk contents have acually been changed.
* ProDOS disk images with a ".po" filename extension and a size of 800 KB (or larger) can now be mounted as an OmniDisk, and are also processed by the Spotlight importer.
* Disk images with a .nib extension now show up in the disk search window as "custom file system".
* Fixed an issue in the SCSI card emulation that could corrupt the "screenhole" memory locations in auxiliary memory, whereas it should have used main memory. In the revised ROM code the screen hole memory isn't used anymore at all.
* If a USB or Bluetooth game controller is connected, the option to use the keyboard arrows as a joystick is now disabled. It appeared that the latter option could corrupt the values received from the game controller (even without touching the arrow keys).
* Powering up a virtual machine with an OmniDisk resulted in a boot failure if a higher numbered slot contained a card with expansion ROM. This now works as it should.
* Changed built-in web links from http to https (for servers that support https).

JoyToKey v6.1.1 is released. This software is a keyboard emulator for joysticks. It converts joystick input into keyboard input (and mouse input).Use it when you want to control an application with joysticks that doesn't support joystick input. If you wish, you can control even Word, Excel, etc. with joysticks!
Features:
* Configuration for maximum 16 joysticks.
* Multiple configuration files
You can make many configuration files and choose it at any time.
* Support for many useful features...
o Automatic shooting of buttons
o Mouse emulation (including wheel input)
o "Adjust mouse movements" function
When it's pressed, mouse movement(or wheel rotation) becomes faster (or slower).
* "Switch to the other configuration file" function
You can switch to and activate the other configuration file with the button which is assigned to this function.
* "Use the setting of other joystick number temporarily" function
(Something like "shift" command of SNESKey. For example, you may usually use joystick1 for keyboard emulation, but during this button being pressed, joystick3's configuration (that emulates mouse or something) will temporarily be used. Note that joystick3 is not a real joystick, it's a virtual device to .)
JoyToKey v6.1.1 Changelog:
Version 6.1.1 includes an important bug fix for version 6.x. If you're using version 6.0 and 6.1, it's recommended to upgrade to 6.1.1.
Supported multiple screens for the absolute movement of a mouse cursor.
Supported an execution of an external program for a button assignment.
Besides launching a program, you can also open an URL in the browser. These enable you to use JoyToKey as a kind of launcher.
Supported additional key-code emulations such as the volume control (up / down / mute), media control (prev / next / play / stop), and SCROLL_LOCK key.
Changed the default key emulation code for arrow keys, R-Alt and R-Ctrl, to fix some compatibility issue with recent Windows 10. In case it causes a problem for certain old games and you want to use the old key code, in the button assignment window, please select an equivalent key (from right-click menu) which is labeled as "for DirectInput".
Single click a task tray icon to refresh joystick connections
When you connect a new joystick to the PC, you can just click the task tray icon to get it recognized (either left click or right click).
Ability to re-process the key emulation event when the same key continues during the processing of Input1-Input4 sequence (Keyboard 2).
By default, when processing the sequence of key emulation through Input1 to Input4, if the same key assignment continues, it's emulated only once. This behaviour can be changed from "Options" tab by enabling the following checkbox: "Re-process when the same key continues in sequence"
Misc bug fixes such as button highlighting

Negatron v0.99.4 is released. Negatron is yet another front-end for MAME, the well-known multi-system emulator. Negatron has been first engineered to assist users in managing the huge list of machines available in MAME as intuitively as possible, them being arcade machines, consoles or computers. It has been developed in order to be as much hassle-free as possible, checking for any changed or updated resources automatically.
Negatron v0.99.4 Changelog:
Application:
Fixed a bug where Negatron would crash the very first time it's being launched whereas subsequent launches would get through sucessfully (regression introduced with font management).
Improved user experience by properly displaying when favourites are supposed to be in read-only or edit modes.
Added a bunch of MAME options to the Global Configuration panel, along with a new Inputs tab:
Re-organised options to segragate MAME's input options and put them into their own tab,
Added a bunch of graphical options,
Added tooltips in English for all the options that didn't have any yet (tooltip content mostly coming from mamedev official documentation).
Added Gradle support to release RPM and DEB packages for Linux instead of a simple zip file that can't handle dependencies automatically.
Updated Java to 1.0.8_191 and VLC to 3.0.4 on the all-in-one packs for Windows and macOS.

RPCemu v0.9.1 is released. RPCEmu is the continued development of the popular Acorn machine emulator by Tom Walker. It emulates an Acorn RiscPC and A7000.
RPCemu v0.9.1 Changelog:
User Interface
A screenshot can be saved of the current display, by choosing 'Take Screenshot...' from the File menu.
Entering full-screen mode displays a reminder of how to leave this mode. The message can be hidden by ticking the checkbox.
Choosing 'Reset' or 'Exit' from the File menu will request confirmation before taking the action.
The CD-ROM sub-menu has moved to the Disc menu.
Networking
The EtherRPCEm driver module now works with RISC OS Select 3 or later (4.39 - 6.20).
Networking configuration now requires fewer steps to be performed in RISC OS as a result of the following changes. The documentation has been updated to reflect this.
The driver module is now provided directly by the networking podule. This means there is no need to install the driver in the Boot sequence.
The driver module is now 26/32-bit neutral. This means that there is no need to install an updated SharedCLibrary for the network driver. Note, you may well still need this update for application compatibility.
The driver module now auto-installs AutoSense file in Boot sequence.
HostFS
The Create-Dir, Rename and Save entry points now return an error if part of the path is invalid, instead of saving the file to a wrong location.
Keyboard
Keys can no longer get 'stuck' if held down when interacting with GUI menus.
Other fixes
Some potential crash scenarios when resetting/exiting have been fixed.
Windows
Shift-F10 keypresses are now passed through to the emulated machine, instead of invoking the Windows context menu handler.
If you are using a keyboard layout with 'dead keys' (e.g. US-International) these keypresses are now passed through. Dead keys are used to compose accented characters, and are not found on the UK keyboard layout.
The Windows executable has Data Execution Prevention (DEP) enabled.

Steam's monthly active user count has grown by 23 million in just over a year, according to figures from Valve.
Presented at Melbourne Games Week, it was revealed that Steam now has over 90 million MAUs, compared to 67 million last year.
Valve has also seen its daily active users grow to 47 million, up from 33 million last year; it's peak concurrent users have yet to exceed the 18.5 million record set in January, during the height of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' popularity.
This increase runs contrary to July figures from SteamSpy which showed a drop in the share of active users playing a game at a given time over the same period, from 38 per cent to 31 per cent.
The growth spike is at least partly attributable to the 30 million users in China, up from 15 million last year, according to market intelligence firm Niko Partners.
Steam's unsanctioned position within the Chinese market has only gained prominence in recent months, amid a halt in new-game approvals by the government.
