The addition of Fortnite to student programmes has been met with hostility in Kentucky, after one official attempted to ban the game from state-level varsity esports.
In an email seen by the Lexington Herald-Leader, Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) commissioner Julian Tackett said: "There is no place for shooter games in our schools."
Tackett's comments came after high school esports organisation PlayVS partnered with Epic Games to establish a competitive national club league for high school and college-level Fortnite.
"I want to personally assure you that we, along with the NFHS [National Federation of State High School Associations] Network are proactively taking steps to have this decision reversed," Tackett said.
"There is no place for shooter games in our schools. This announcement was particularly troubling in that it came on the anniversary of one of Kentucky's darkest days, the Marshall County incident."
Tackett's comments refer to the 2018 fatal shooting at Marshall County High School in Kentucky, which left two students dead and several injured.
He told the Washington Post that adding Fortnite to esports programmes "violates the contract signed by PlayVs and the NFHS... and places the future of that program at peril."

Given how many people have been waiting for so very long for a new Half-Life game, it's entirely unsurprising that the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx is making some pretty big ripples in the pond even before its launch.
One of the more notable of these is its impact on the Valve Index, the company's high-end VR headset, which had struggled to make its mark prior to the Alyx announcement. Now, it's sold out almost everywhere, with keen consumers rapidly burning through stock of the device towards the end of last year. Superdata reported that Valve sold 103,000 Index headsets in the final quarter of the year, but given the inventory issues, it's hard to say what kind of numbers the device might have done if all of the consumer demand could have been satisfied.
These numbers are pretty impressive when you consider that the Index is a luxury, high-end headset that's priced to match -- it's often cited as a thousand-dollar headset, but in many territories consumers would have to spend significantly more than that to buy the full headset, controller and sensor kit required to get the complete experience.

The CEO of Facebook says the firm has "hit a real milestone for virtual reality" thanks to Oculus Quest, demostrated by strong holiday sales for VR games.
During an earnings call after its most recent financial results, transcribed by Seeking Alpha, Mark Zuckerberg told investors that while the company's dreams for full augmented reality is "still a number of years away," Oculus is seeing real momentum with virtual reality.
"Sales are stronger than we expected, and people are buying and engaging with more content than we'd expected to," he said. "On Christmas Day, people bought almost $5 million worth of content in the Oculus store."
Zuckerberg recognised this was "an outlier day" but said it was still "real volume by any measure" and "shows the progress that this ecosystem is making."
Later in the call, Zuckerberg answered a question about Facebook's overall gaming strategy, following the social network's exclusivity deals with games streamers and its acquisition of Playgiga towards the end of 2019.

If you're a custom game creator for the original Warcraft 3 who's preparing to move your creations to the newly released "Reforged" remake, you'd better study up on the changes to the game's End User License Agreement -- specifically the acceptable use policy for custom games.
As spotted by PC Gamer, Blizzard has updated its Custom Game Acceptable Use Policy to give itself complete ownership of all custom games.
"Custom Games are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blizzard," reads the section. "Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title, and interest in and to all Custom Games, including but not limited to any copyrights in the content of any Custom Games."

Back in 2019, it was revealed that RetroArch would be headed to Steam, bringing the emulator frontend to the platform for the first time ever. Things have been fairly quiet since then, but now we've got some new details regarding the launch of the program. There's still no projected release date, but we now have a clearer idea of how RetroArch will work on Steam. The initial program will be free, and each core that loads different emulators will be available separately, as additional free DLC. 47 cores will be available on launch, each legally secured and with permission granted from the original developer, with more to follow at a later date. Those cores are as follows: - bsnes
- bsnes HD beta
- Final Burn Neo
- Flycast
- Mesen
- Mesen S
- Nestopia
- Play!
- SameBoy
- TIC-80
- EasyRPG
- Mupen64 Plus Next
- Kronos
- Theodore
- Blastem
- Stella
- Snes9x
- mGBA
- 4DO
- Genesis Plus GX
- 2048
- RACE
- VBA-M
- NeoCD
- FreeIntv
- FreeChaf
- QuickNES
- Picodrive
- Game Music Emu
- GW (Game & Watch)
- PX68K
- REminiscence
- XRick
- Desmume
- gpSP
- PocketCDG
- Tyrquake
- Vitaquake 2
- boom3
- EightyOne/81
- Gearsystem
- CrocoDS
- Gearboy
- Caprice32
- Parallel N64
- PPSSPP
- NP2Kai
In addition, none of the cores, nor RetroArch itself will have any DRM, including Steamworks. You'll even be able to boot it via the shortcut, without requiring Steam to be running in the background.
What To Expect
This is what one can expect for the impending launch:
- RetroArch as an application itself, when installed through Steam, will be able to be launched even without Steam being active. Therefore, no kind of DRM is being imposed.
- RetroArch as well as the cores will be provided completely for free.
- The cores do not have any kind of DRM applied to them.
- No Steamworks integration. If it will ever happen, it will be done through a separate process as has been done by plenty of other Steam GPL-licensed programs/games.
- We will never provide any copyrighted content that we do not have permission to under any circumstance. Out of the gates, you will be able to run disk-based content from a CD-ROM drive with many CD-based emulators. There is also a preservation-focused project in the work that will make it easier to preserve your legally bought cartridges, but more on that as we get closer to release.

WineD3D v5.0 is relesaed. WineD3D For Windows is a DirectX 1-11 to OpenGL wrapper based on WineD3D, which is an almost full implementation of DirectX used in Wine. Even if Windows supports DirectX natively, using WineD3D can enhance backwards compatiblity with older games, especially on Windows 8 and newer that don't support 16 bit screen modes. Another possible use is to emulate unsupported versions of DirectX, or porting DirectX applications to OpenGL without having to rewrite the rendering code.

The executive producer of Doom Eternal has revealed that the team behind the first-person shooter spent months in crunch before deciding to push back the game's release.
In an interview with VG247, Marty Stratton said the studio attempted to balance the extra hours so that some members of staff were given a break, but admits the working schedule was intense.
"We were crunching pretty hard most of last year," he said. "It goes in phases... We'll have one group of people crunching so the next group of people are teed up properly. As they get done, they may need to crunch a little bit.
"We really truly do try and be very respectful of peoples' time and lives. We have very dedicated people that just choose to work a lot in many cases. It was nice because we want the game to be perfect. We want it to live up to our expectations and consumer expectations."

Want to re-familiarize yourself with the Half-Life franchise? Or interested in trying the series for the first time? You'll be able to, easily, thanks to a new promotion held by Valve. In order to hype people up for the imminent launch of Half-Life Alyx, all the games in the franchise are free to play on Steam, for a limited time. Running from today until Alyx's release, Half-Life 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and 2, Source, Opposing Force, and Blue Shift are all available for Steam owners to download. These aren't free to keep, but you'll be able to play them without cost for the next two months.

Here is the text - Here is an announcement for the official English setup for Daisenryaku VII. All the menus, dialogues, weapons, and windows are 100% in English! While a version of this was released for Playstation 2, this one has different maps and also has an old-school method of multiplayer where you can email or trade save files in order for other participants to take turns, very much similar in the ways of long-distance chess through the mail. We hope you enjoy this release!

We are releasing a new playtest today that refines and fixes several issues in the current release.
The full Changelog includes:
- Fixed significant performance and behaviour regressions with aircraft
- Fixed rare crashes during gameplay and when loading saved games
- Fixed several behaviour issues with unit and bot AI
- Fixed missing team chat in game replays
- Fixed build failures caused by an upstream API change
- Improved build icon layout in RA and D2k sidebars
- Improved in-game menu option layout
A new Mod SDK release is also available with a number of additional fixes for modders.
Since we expect this to be the only playtest before a final hotfix release around the start of February, we encourage everybody (especially those who like to play in multiplayer team games) to try a game or two, and to let us know if we have missed any other issues or accidentally introduced new ones.
As always, we welcome feedback in the comments below, on our forum, Discord, or GitHub pages.
