A towering beast attacks you as you enter a cavernous room whose barely lit stone pavement reflects a sickly green hue. This beast can only be overcome through a rigorous series of precise dodges and parries. The cost of failure is significant. Returning to this place is a long journey, and one failure will result in a fierce backlash.For many, this gameplay loop established in the 2009 video game Demon's Souls is engrossing. For others, it's infuriating.Is this ferocious challenge an essential feature of the Soulslike genre, which grew out of these roots? Or does it make the game more…

Intellectual property lawyer Steve England was asked whether it would be possible for libraries to digitally preserve copies of video games. His response was that members of the ESA, the U.S. video game industry's trade association, would not allow such…
Last week, I weighed in on the lack of regulatory knowledge and reliance on meaningless “innovation talk” when trying to discuss the real impact that fintech products, especially embedded finance, are having on consumers. I wrote about my dissatisfaction.Embedded finance, or banking-as-a-service business models, involve the provision of digital banking services by licensed banks through application programming interfaces (APIs) that are integrated directly into the products of non-bank businesses.Juniper Research predicts that revenue generated from account/card issuance and transaction fees on global BaaS platforms will grow 158% from this year to 2028. This expansion will primarily be driven by the…
