The Molasses Flood just became part of CD Projekt RED. The Boston game studio merged with the larger company on April 1, though they were bought back in October 2021. Daniel Isla, who helped start The Molasses Flood, left the studio after this change happened. Before leaving, he shared news about their secret project called Sirius.
He described Sirius as a multiplayer Witcher game that will amaze players. Isla said the merger helps the team work better with everyone at CD Projekt RED. The project faced a restart in March 2023 when CDPR decided to change direction. Some elements from the original plan might remain in the final game. Job listings once hinted at stylized graphics, action combat, and team play against computer enemies.

Custom PC builder META PC warns shoppers about coming price hikes due to Trump's latest tariffs. The company says it might raise prices as much as 50% across its computer parts. It explained that it couldn't absorb these costs without going out of business. PowerGPU's CEO shared similar concerns, stating that regular people will end up paying more for computer gear.
The tariffs hit harder because they target not just China but also Singapore and the Philippines. Many manufacturers had moved operations to these countries as alternatives to China. With all these places facing new import taxes, companies have few options left except passing costs to customers. Big retailers like Newegg and MicroCenter might keep current prices temporarily...

Reports suggest that NVIDIA promised new investments in American AI data centers to secure this deal. President Trump has pushed companies to build more facilities inside the United States as part of his economic strategy. Chinese businesses had already started stockpiling these...

Microsoft revealed today that Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 will appear in a special presentation right after the Xbox Summer Showcase on June 8. Fans got an early treat when IGN shared the first gameplay video, with more coverage coming throughout April. The footage shows the player sneaking into an N-Ray facility alongside a somewhat unhinged cultist companion.

Apple faces challenges with import taxes since its products come from abroad. Reports indicate Apple won't shift production to America despite the cost pressure. Instead, one major supplier might bring factories to the US because of Trump's new import fees.
Luxshare, which makes high-end iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watches, and Vision Pro headsets, has started looking at American manufacturing options. The company chairwoman Wang Laichun told analysts these tariffs won't hurt them much short-term because they send limited products directly to America. She mentioned they need between 12-18 months to set up new production lines where they already operate facilities.
The supplier currently runs factories across Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam...
