Geforce Now launches
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/
Subscription based streaming service @ $4.99 limited time
Similar to Steamlink, the difference is that it supports *almost* all games and you can purchase through the service
Not a new service from NVIDIA, was available in 2015 for NVIDIA Portable, later SHIELD TV
Sessions limited to 6 hours
Free tier gets 1 hour and may have a queue (yikes, but free tho)
Blizzard gives Geforce Now free publicity by pulling its catalog from the service

“Per their request, please be advised Activision Blizzard games will be removed from the service. While unfortunate, we hope to work together with Activision Blizzard to reenable these games and more in the future,”
Google Stadia exclusive perhaps?
They did get $160M for OWL, after all

Geoff Keighley will not be attending or producing E3 content, first time in 25 years
https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1227638604618293248
“A ton of factors, I just don't really feel comfortable participating given what I know about the show as of today.”
https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1227644985844981760
“I think E3 needs to become more digital and global....it's a brand that means a lot to people, but it shouldn't just be a show floor.”

Anthem update
https://blog.bioware.com/2020/02/10/anthem-update-february-10/
“Over the coming months we will be focusing on a longer-term redesign of the experience, specifically working to reinvent the core gameplay loop with clear goals, motivating challenges and progression with meaningful rewards – while preserving the fun of flying and fighting in a vast science-fantasy setting. And to do that properly we’ll be doing something we’d like to have done more of the first time around – giving a focused team the time to test and iterate, focusing on gameplay first.”
