"Video games aren’t just influencing entertainment, they’re rewriting its rules. Game IP is making waves on the big screen but the impact runs deeper: studios are embracing interactive storytelling, expansive world-building, and active audience participation. The age of standalone content is fading. It’ll be replaced by immersive universes where fans don’t just watch—they engage, explore, and help shape the story."

This is really not the point, but this is a rather funny way to learn that the ff in ffmpeg stands for fast forward

This has been going on since at least as far back as 2024. Eagle-eyed fans may notice that the banner for GoG’s The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime store page is set against an environment that can be found nowhere in the game, and looks suspiciously like something out of System Shock… 🤔

*LMA Manager 2006* for PS2/Xbox expected you to call a pay-per-minute hotline to get "bonus codes" that were tied to your "unique ID."

The hotline is gone, so are the cheats? No - I derived the RSA key that was used to generate them from the game data!
