If there were any doubts about Xbox's commitment to Game Pass (and there was plenty of industry chatter earlier this year that suggests there were), the firm has well and truly silenced them over the past two months. First came the news that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be included in Game Pass on the same day it launches everywhere else. Then there was the barnstorming Xbox Summer Showcase, where every first-party game was followed by the words: 'Play It Day One On Game Pass'.

Tencent is shutting down its free-to-play shooter, Synced. Terminating the servers a year to the day after the shooter launched, Tencent didn't give a reason for the closure, only telling players that while they could continue to "enjoy the game and use any existing in-game items" for now, Synced will be fully "retired" at 7pm September 8 (GMT -8). Consequently, the game has disabled all new registrations and its in-app store.

You're correct about how developers getting promoted or moving to other studios can affect things, but it goes further than that. Honestly, it is because whole teams and individual team members change over time. People age and grow, life priorities shift and move. Becoming a parent, for example, radically shifts a person's priorities. Any of the game's major decision-makers becoming a parent can drastically alter the direction of the game.

While the newer versions of CC do support bloom in post process, it does so in a bizarre way. You are specifying bloom values between 0 and 1 and as far as I can tell, operating on results that are post tone mapping to ldr. There is no way to push a color above 1.0 and bloom those values only. That means you cannot really have a ldr, pure white value without it blooming.

Hi @deepak_vt09 , you probably need to invoke your_tween_instance.stop(); to stop tween in onTouchEnd. Tween instances are driven by Tween System which doesn’t know whether touchend event is fired. And if you don’t want to save all tween instances, you could use tag() method to mark tween instances with a same tag and use the static method Tween.stopAllByTag(tag); to stop all instances marked with the same tag in onTouchEnd callback.
