Codemasters acquired the WRC licence in 2020, committing to develop one annual WRC game for the next five years, beginning in 2023. The racing game studio was acquired by EA a year later and we've heard little about the studio's first WRC game since, leaving some to wonder if the game has been pushed to 2024. Fortunately, this is set to change this week. 

Electronic Arts, the parent company of Codemasters, said on Twitter that it will unveil its first World Rally Championship (WRC) game on September 5th on YouTube. The game was reportedly planned to release on July 28th 2023, but it was pushed back to later in the year.

A previous rumour claimed the game would launch in November this year, a few weeks after Microsoft's Forza Motorsport. A ‘Champions Edition' version of the game is expected, which will include a few days of early access to the game as well as future DLC content.

The game will be available on PS5Xbox Series X/S and PC. EA Play subscribers will reportedly also have a typical 10-hour trial as well as the same three-day early access period offered to Champions Edition players.

One of the most interesting aspects of the whole hacking of Sony and the debacle that is The Interview movie, has been that when the big cinema chains backed out of showing it over fears of box office losses and viewer endangerment, many independent theatres stepped up. Cinemas like the Alamo Drafthouse and even George R. Martin's own theatre all pledged to show the film if Sony supported them. Now with the Japanese company doing an about face on its decision to not show the film, that support from smaller venues continues in a patriotic and idealistic fashion.

The latest of the independent cinema owners to rally behind The Interview, which has James Franco and Seth Rogen travelling to North Korea as tabloid talk show producers, to assassinate the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, is Merrill Jarvis III, who owns a number of screens in Burlington, Vermont. He's pledged to show the film on 31st December at his Palace 9 theatre.

“We need to understand our rights. I'm proud to be an American on the front line against terrorism,” he said in a statement (via Sevendays). He also promised to give free popcorn to anyone that brought a copy of the United States constitution with them.

The sequel will see them taking on his offspring, Kim Jong Deux

While essentially about a silly buddy comedy movie, the scandal surrounding the film has led to some interesting discussions about what terrorism is at its core. While Mr Jarvis might sound like he's exaggerating, many people see this sort of threat of violence to be a perfect example of terrorism at work. Whether through violent acts or threats of them, it's about disrupting the way of life of people and inhibiting them through censorship and self censorship. Unfortunately for the hackers or whoever's agenda is behind all this, the reaction from those other than the large cinema chains, including most of the general public, has been one of solidarity and hope.

You can hack our multi-national conglomerates all you want, but you can't take our dumb stoner movies.

KitGuru Says: It's a good note to go out on this year. Thanks for reading what we've been writing in 2014 guys, it's been fun. Looking forward to seeing what we can put out next year. See you then.

Lavabit founder Levison on putting his pet to sleep https://www.kitguru.net/channel/jon-martindale/lavabit-founder-levison-on-putting-his-pet-to-sleep/ Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:28:05 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=155898 Describing the process of shutting down Lavabit as akin to  “putting a beloved pet to sleep,” the site's founder Ladar Levison, has spoken out in an interview with WeAreChange, about what his site was, what his ethical reasoning for its shutdown were and what potential his decision has for the future of online privacy.

Describing the process of shutting down Lavabit as akin to  “putting a beloved pet to sleep,” the site's founder Ladar Levison, has spoken out in an interview with WeAreChange, about what his site was, what his ethical reasoning for its shutdown were and what potential his decision has for the future of online privacy.

Mr Levison has been hailed by many as a hero for his actions, which saw him defy a government order to hand over the service's SSL key, giving the authorities access to NSA leaker Edward Snowden's emails, as well as those of every other site user's. He did this because he felt the order was unconstitutional and morally wrong, but there were some personal reasons too. The stress of government weight on his shoulders was giving him sleep issues and near constant anxiety.

Clearly some of that is ongoing, as his legal troubles are perhaps just beginning.

[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6zfCujXfJA']

When asked whether there were any repurcussions for his actions, Levison was coy and said simply that he believes the government hadn't pursued legal action against him before the service was shutdown, because they were worried he would do just that. He also alluded that the authorities were not pleased with his open letter to the community, which addressed some of what was happening.

Levison also defended Facebook, Google and others, when the interviewer claiemd they were getting paid to supply user information to the authorities, suggesting instead, that they were fighting battles similar to his, but that they weren't able to talk about the struggles because of how, “secretive everything is,” alluding to government gag orders.

“These companies are challenging the government's right to this information, the trouble is they're losing and they're losing these fights in secret,” he said. “They're being forced to collaborate, much the same as I was being forced to collaborate…”, “because of the secrecy involved, the public doesn't know enough to object.”

He goes on to allude that if people knew more, they wouldn't be keen on what the government was doing and would probably stand up to it. However, he's thankful that we're at a stage that people understand his decision and perhaps, we're edging towards a more public debate on whether the government should have access to our data.

There's progress, but it's slow.

KitGuru Says: Mr Levison made a brave decision shutting down his site and livelihood and it's a shame that he's clearly still nervous about his current legal position. If you want to donate to his legal fund, head here to contribute:
