Summary
The gaming world is in mourning following the death of Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot, who was killed in a plane crash in western France at the age of 69. Guillemot, a key figure in the family-led company behind the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry franchises, was piloting his twin-engine Cessna 421 when the accident occurred. In other news, Valve has officially unveiled the pricing for its highly anticipated Steam Machine, which departs from the traditional "loss leader" console model. Starting at $1,049 for a 512GB model and reaching up to $1,428 for a 2TB bundle with a controller, the device is positioned as a premium Linux-based gaming PC rather than a subsidized console.
