Capcom launches new Capcom Town Store to sell PC games

Capcom has launched Capcom Town, a digital marketplace for fans to purchase PC versions of their games directly from the publisher. The store features titles available on Steam and GOG, including Pragmata and Resident Evil 9 Requiem, but it is uncertain if Xbox or PlayStation titles will be added. The pricing on the Capcom Town Store may not be as competitive as on Steam, with older titles like Dragon's Dogma 2 listed at full retail price. The store offers a tiered discount system for bundled purchases: 5% off for buying 3 items, 10% off for 5 items, and 15% off for 8 items. New customers receive a 10% discount on their first order and an additional 7% off for providing feedback. Capcom aims to sell over 50 million games this year and may introduce direct discounts to achieve this goal.

Hackers are abusing unpatched Windows security flaws to hack into organizations

Hackers have exploited vulnerabilities in Windows systems, specifically targeting three flaws: BlueHammer, UnDefend, and RedSun. BlueHammer has been patched by Microsoft, while UnDefend and RedSun remain unaddressed. The exploitation is linked to code published by a researcher named Chaotic Eclipse, who criticized Microsoft for their response to vulnerabilities. All three flaws affect Windows Defender, allowing hackers potential high-level access to systems. Microsoft emphasized the importance of coordinated vulnerability disclosure to protect customers and the research community. The situation underscores the ongoing struggle between cybersecurity defenders and cybercriminals.

“Over 3.3 million downloads”: This Linux alternative to Windows 11 is winning over Microsoft’s customers with a huge update

Zorin OS, a Linux-based operating system, launched late last year alongside Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows 10 on October 14, leading to approximately 780,000 users migrating to Linux and a surge in Zorin OS downloads to 1 million. Three months later, Zorin OS 18 was released, increasing downloads to 2 million, and six months post-launch, total downloads reached 3.3 million. The latest version, Zorin OS 18.1, includes new features and improved hardware support, expanding its database to support over 240 Windows applications. Zorin Lite has also been updated to version 17.3, designed for older computers, featuring support for fingerprint readers and a redesigned File Manager. Meanwhile, Windows 11 has struggled with adoption due to strict hardware requirements but is gaining traction after the end-of-life status of Windows 10. Microsoft is working to improve user sentiment around Windows 11 by allowing users to bypass updates during setup and reintroducing features like a movable Taskbar. Some experts suggest that Microsoft should focus on developing Windows 12 instead of enhancing Windows 11, as significant improvements may require more drastic changes. Alternative operating systems like Zorin OS are becoming increasingly appealing to users dissatisfied with Windows.
