Mobile revenue remained flat across 2025, but PC gaming “sees another record year” | Sensor Tower State of Gaming 2026

Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower's State of Gaming 2026 report reveals that mobile game revenue has remained flat, while PC and console gaming revenues have surged by 13%. In 2025, there were 52 billion downloads across all platforms, with mobile games downloaded at a rate of 95,000 per minute, although this represents a decline from 2024. Mobile game revenue increased by only 1%, indicating a shift towards retaining and monetizing existing players. In contrast, PC gaming, particularly on Steam, achieved record gains in units sold and revenue, driven by AA and AAA publishers. The shooter genre performed strongly, with Battlefield 6 as the best-selling game, followed by EA Sports FC 25 and 26. In the free-to-play category, Skate was the most downloaded title. Indie games like R.E.P.O. and Peak were recognized as top sellers. Data trends indicate that PC gamers are generally younger, while hypercasual gamers tend to be female. The strategy genre gained traction in mobile gaming, led by Last War: Survival and Whiteout Survival.

В Болгарии закрыли популярные торрент-сайты

Bulgaria recently conducted a crackdown on torrent sites violating national and international laws, part of a broader international effort against online piracy. Three major torrent sites—ArenaBG, Zamunda, and Zelka—had their domains confiscated, and four individuals were detained. The operation involved collaboration among Europol, Bulgaria's General Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, the State Agency for National Security, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Justice. The crackdown was prompted by the illegal distribution of copyrighted materials, including films and software. Searches and seizures occurred at 30 locations, coordinated with the Bulgarian prosecutor's office. Authorities are currently assessing evidence to determine potential criminal charges related to the distribution of pirated content.

Why Microsoft’s Revoked DMCA Over A Minecraft-Style Game Is Such A Big Deal

Microsoft withdrew a DMCA takedown notice against the indie game Allumeria, allowing its demo to return to digital platforms. The initial takedown was likely triggered by an automated system that flagged Allumeria for similarities to Minecraft. Microsoft's legal team recognized distinct differences that complicated potential legal action. This decision may encourage creativity among indie developers and reflects a nuanced understanding of the gaming industry's dynamics. The case highlights ongoing challenges in defining ownership over game concepts and suggests a potential shift towards a more collaborative environment in game development.

США конфисковали домены трех крупнейших торрент-трекеров ЕС

U.S. law enforcement, in collaboration with Bulgarian authorities, has seized the domains zamunda.net, arenabg.com, and zelka.org due to copyright infringement related to pirated content. This operation was authorized by a U.S. District Court ruling and coordinated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Europol, and Bulgarian officials. The domains, which were managed by U.S.-based registrars, have been redirected to U.S. control, displaying an official seizure notice. A significant portion of the content on these sites is owned by American companies, allowing U.S. jurisdiction. Bulgaria has been working to combat piracy since at least 2020 and was recently placed back on the U.S. Trade Representative's "Special 301 Report" list for insufficient progress. The servers hosting the trackers may be located outside Bulgaria, complicating their seizure. This operation highlights the risks faced by piracy platforms linked to international domains.

Microsoft’s Quiet Exodus: Why Enterprise Developers Are Abandoning Windows for Linux Workstations

Microsoft developers and enterprise technology leaders are increasingly choosing Linux over Windows for development tasks, driven by performance concerns, workflow inefficiencies, and the rise of cloud-native development. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has facilitated this shift by allowing developers to work in a Linux environment while still using Windows. Tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform, which are primarily designed for Linux, have led to a reevaluation of desktop strategies across various industries. Linux provides direct access to the same kernel and toolchain used in production, reducing discrepancies that can lead to bugs. It typically requires less memory at idle compared to Windows, making it more efficient for developers managing multiple containers or virtual machines. Microsoft has responded by investing in platform-agnostic tools like Visual Studio Code and embracing Linux on its Azure cloud platform, where over 50% of virtual machines run Linux. The introduction of WSL2 has improved compatibility and performance, but it has also highlighted Windows' limitations, leading to frustrations among developers. Security considerations favor Linux due to its open-source nature, allowing for greater customization and auditing. Financially, Linux can be more economical for enterprises due to lower licensing costs and reduced hardware requirements. Organizations that have switched to Linux report significant improvements in build times and overall developer experience. Hybrid strategies are emerging to accommodate developer preferences while ensuring security, with cloud-based development environments gaining traction. The trend toward Linux workstations reflects broader industry movements toward open source and platform independence, as companies adapt to attract and retain technical talent.

Expired Oracle Patent Clears Path For Faster Sorting In MySQL And PostgreSQL – Open Source For You

The expiration of Oracle's patent US7680791B2 has made the Orasort sorting algorithm, which offers a claimed 5× performance improvement, available in the public domain for open-source databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. Developed by Mark Callaghan, Orasort enhances sorting workloads with similar keys and incorporates optimizations such as skipping repeated comparisons, adaptively switching sorting methods, caching key substrings, prefetching data, and producing partial results. The algorithm has shown to be approximately five times faster than previous sorting methods used by Oracle. The open-source community is actively exploring its integration into various database engines, with early experimentation underway using programming languages like Python, C, and C++.
