Forza Support Team Recommends Xbox Players Disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6

Forza Support Team Recommends Xbox Players Disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6

Author: Luke Reilly

The Forza Horizon 6 support team is urging Xbox Series X|S players to turn off Quick Resume and to give their console, PC or Steam client a few minutes to sync before shutting down, in order to prevent save-file corruption when switching devices. They also advise avoiding the 1993 Schuppan 962CR, 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000QV, 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air and 2020 Wuling Sunshine S Forza Edition-especially painting, liveries or sharing designs-as these cars are suspected of triggering the issue. Following these steps should allow the team to recover affected profiles by reverting to an earlier cloud save.

Steam Users Have a Chance to Get Doom: The Dark Ages for $1 Ahead of July DLC

Steam Users Have a Chance to Get Doom: The Dark Ages for $1 Ahead of July DLC

A new story DLC for *Doom: The Dark Ages* has been revealed, and Steam players can try to obtain the full game for $1 through Fanatical's Mystery Gift bundles. The $1 purchase gives a random key from a pool of 24 titles-including several indie games and a few AAA options like *LEGO Batman* and *Death Stranding 2*-so there's no guarantee of receiving *Doom*, though buying larger bundles (e.g., 5-25 keys) improves the odds. If players want the game outright without the gamble, they'll need to purchase it directly.

You need to hear this Valve vet's rant on why TF2 could never be made by AI

Author: Patricia Hernandez

A former Valve developer argues that artificial-intelligence systems, which merely remix existing content, lack the creative intuition and design insight needed to produce a genre-defining title like *Team Fortress 2*. He contends that true originality-balancing gameplay, humor, art direction, and community-driven evolution-requires human judgment that AI cannot replicate. Consequently, he believes a game of TF2's caliber could never be fully created by AI.
