Warhammer: Dawn of War 3 Underperformed, Says Relic
Relic Entertainment has halted further development of Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War III and has shifted its focus to other projects.
Relic released a statement to Eurogamer, noting that although the game has a dedicated player base, the game did not hit the team's sales targets. The title has not picked up enough steam post-launch for Relic to justify further development.
"When a game underperforms, plans need to change. With Dawn of War 3, we simply don't have the foundation we need to produce major content," Relic explained in its statement. "We're working in close partnership with Sega and Games Workshop to determine the best course of action, while shifting focus to other projects within our portfolio."

“We were very glad to have the opportunity to create a Korean character.

Deadpool 2 Is More Like Aliens, Says Co-Creator
Deadpool 2 will be a bigger and more action heavy sequel, according to Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Liefeld teased what fans can expect from the upcoming film, comparing Deadpool 2 to the beloved second installment in the Alien franchise, 1986's Aliens. According to Liefeld, while the first Deadpool is more like the original Alien movie, the sequel, like Aliens, ups the ante in a major way.
"Deadpool was Alien," Liefeld said. "It's brilliant. It completely works. It's a masterpiece. Deadpool 2 is Aliens. It's when James Cameron came in and said, 'OK you want me to do this? We're going to make it bigger, put in loads more action.'"

The MacBook Air may be Apple's entry-level laptop, but that doesn't mean it's a slouch—or that it's inexpensive.

The Witcher: 15 Actors Who Could Play Geralt in the Netflix Series
The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia is one of the most iconic characters in all of games, so whoever is chosen to carry the mantle of the legendary White Wolf in the upcoming Netflix series will have plenty of expectations to live up to. Thankfully, Netflix has a proven track record when it comes to investing in big-budget productions like Daredevil and Altered Carbon, which is a good sign for fans of The Witcher, since the series will undoubtedly need a large budget to achieve the same scope that the novels and video games have already established.
In anticipation of Netflix's journey into the expansive world that author Andrzej Sapkowski created, we've compiled a diverse list of 15 actors we think capable of portraying Geralt. The White Wolf may have Polish roots, but we still don't know what direction the story will follow, so we wanted our dream casting call to include more than one ethnic group. There's also still no word on when in Geralt's life the series will take place, so we made sure to consider some younger actors who could rise to the challenge if called upon.
