27 years after its liquidation, this legendary brand returns to the hands of its creator

This is information that should not leave our oldest readers indifferent. Alan Michael Sugar, the founder of Amstrad, bought back the rights to your own brand to become its owner again. Aged 77, 27 years after liquidating his company, the business magnate once again becomes the master of Amstrad’s destiny. Well, almost, since it is now his grandson who will have to imagine the future of the brand, through the new company set up, Amstrad Digital. The entrepreneur had wanted to recover the brand name since 2007. It is now done. Sugar’s grandson, Joe Baron, will not be the only one at the helm of Amstrad Digital, since he will be accompanied by a certain Tom D’Arcy. “They have the brand name, which in itself is worth a fortune, and they have to exploit it. And I want to see money” declared the happy grandpa.

Diablo boss, ex Gears of War boss, recognizes that Achievements/Trophies can ruin the online experience

In a recent episode of the My Perfect Console podcast, Rod Fergusson – boss of Diablo and former boss of Gears of War – explain how Xbox Achievements can ruin the experience of a game. “Xbox achievements may have an advantage, because they are actually an advertisement for a feature” he declared, before adding: “I designed Achievements for Gears from the beginning, and I learned that you could break a game with these things. If you look at the game’s achievements, there are multiplayer achievements that just ruined the game because you’re told ‘slash a thousand people’ and you’re trying to win the game, but this moron next to you is ‘don’t care and just try to cut people off’. You say to him ‘why don’t you want to win the match?’ and he tells you “no, I’m just trying to get an Achievement”. He concludes : “If you look at the successes from Gears 1 to Gears 5, I hope you see an evolution in how we guide players towards new features rather than making them do things that aren’t normal”.
