DMZ: Nuclear Survival is a new open-world survival game with crafting, exploration, and beer-swilling bears And ostriches, apparently. Image credit: Wild Dog News by Vikki Blake Contributor Published on April 13, 2025 Meet DMZ: Nuclear Survival, a new PVE and competitive PVP multiplayer open-world survival crafting game set in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear war. It's coming "soon" in early access so that the "brand-new, ambitious, and highly flexible" game can grow alongside its community. It's thought the game - which hasn't indicated a price, but has at least confirmed it won't be free-to-play - will be in early access for the inaugural year, although that "depends upon development progress and player feedback". You can check it out in the teaser below, which debuted at Indie Live Expo 2025 earlier today: DMZ: Nuclear Survival Announce Trailer.Watch on YouTube Developed by a two-person team in Saitama, Japan, DMZ is the debut title from newly formed studio Wild Dog. It takes place on the supercontinent "Pangaea, a "vast, procedurally generated" environment featuring a variety of biomes, including forests, wastelands, deserts, and snowfields. The game's lore suggests it was formed by tectonic shifts caused by the war, where "intense battles for survival" unfolded. Players can excavate ancient ruins scattered across the land - such as pyramids, Terracotta warriors, and Roman temples - and research relics, craft items, and "even resurrect powerful soldiers from ancient genes to revive a fallen civilization and fight for survival". You'll also get to capture NPCs and bring them back to base to become companions, each one with a specialty that may come in handy. Non-human recruits like Bears, wolves, and, er, ostriches are also available. Players can also set up shop on dedicated servers to "play with over 100 players", although offline single-player mode is also available. The duo hope the final version will introduce new biomes and locations, "enhance soldier and NPC development features, improve PvE and PvP mechanics, add craftable technologies, and implement server updates that allow more players to participate simultaneously". For more, head on over to its Steam page, which informs me there'll be in-app purchases and full controller support.

Image: Nintendo LifeWhether it’s your first or your fortieth time, booting up Xenoblade Chronicles X and exploring your immediate surroundings is nothing short of incredible. Mira’s huge, biodiverse landscape, populated by monsters both as small as a ball or as large as a four-storey building, with scraps of ruined ships and alien devices dotted around, is one of the most intimidating, beautiful, and exciting places to explore. In the 10 years since its original release on the Wii U, open-world games have changed and grown dramatically, largely thanks to a certain blonde-haired, tunic-donning hero.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube807kWatch on YouTube Open-world games were already prevalent in the years preceding Xenoblade X, but when Breath of the Wild launched in 2017, it felt like multiple rulebooks had been torn up and rewritten. We already have objectives and huge sprawling landscapes under our belts – why not have a bunch of tools that you can also exploit however you like? Feet? Who needs them? — Images: Nintendo Breath of the Wild is the game that made me get 'open world'. Its lush, sprawling apocalypse, where Guardians lie in wait, attempting to shoot Link out of the sky, is like a never-ending candy shop full of the best kind of confections. I can solve shrine puzzles using ludicrous motion control mishaps or actually think of my feet for a second. Or I can run straight to the final boss after leaving the Great Plateau for the first time. Or maybe, just maybe, I could be a professional chef. Breath of the Wild is just one giant playground – something that Tears of the Kingdom expands on even more with new tools, new layers, and new dangers. It also heavily influenced Elden Ring, which ups the danger levels tenfold and provides hundreds and hundreds of secrets and a magical horse that you can ride around on. There’s also a stupidly hard 'miniboss' close to the entrance of the Cave of Knowledge as you walk out into the golden plains of Limgrave for the first time. Don’t be stubborn and try to fight it right away. Trust me. Image: Bandai Namco Hyrule and The Lands Between are gargantuan maps that make the most of their scale by filling them with little caves or interactable locations that you can manipulate with your skills. Finding makeshift weapons or taking on incredibly tough bosses is part of the magic in those games. I’ve put well over 100 hours into each one, and I love them dearly. I thought no open world would intimidate me as much as these did. But coming back to Xenoblade X with the Definitive Edition, I was completely wrong. In fact, Mira is still the most intimidating and overwhelming open world I’ve ever explored. One of the reasons is the sheer diversity of creatures roaming the planet. Since Mira is five extremely open areas all seamlessly connected (not segmented, no load screens, etc.), you can quite easily move from Primordia, the game’s first area, to Sylvalum, the fourth location, and accidentally stumble into a level 60 monster that is ready to kill on sight. Images: Nintendo Life You can do this at any point, way before you get a Skell. My avatar’s tiny body and legs cannot outrun a giant floating alien mech-like thing as it’s trying to shoot me down with lasers. Stopping and fighting isn’t an option, because I’ll definitely get one-shotted. At least in Hyrule I can drop a bomb or rewind time if enemies start attacking me. Or in Elden Ring, I can call Torrent and gallop the hell out of a dangerous situation. No, Mira is designed to make me feel small. The reason you don’t get a Skell earlier than Chapter 6 is so you can feel completely tiny and powerless, attempting to navigate your way around the twisting tree branches of Noctillum or sneak past the plant monsters buried in the ashen sands of Sylvalum without being mauled to death. If you’re really good and you get some practice with Overdrive, then you might make it past some big beasties that are 10 or 20 levels above you. But you’ll more likely be squashed like an ant. C'mon Snake Boy, try me - I've died to a random robot more than you — Image: Bandai Namco The scope of every single segment of Mira is honestly staggering, even today. The way trees and mountains and unusual shapes tower over your party, and even New Los Angeles, invites feelings of terror and anticipation. Each area evokes real-world or fantasy tropes in completely alien ways. Oblivia is your typical desert region with pockets of oasis-like waters and a big waterfall, but the huge ring structure and the absolutely massive chasm at the centre of the map doesn’t make me feel at home at all. Primordia may act as your introduction to Mira, and of all the places, the big, verdant plains are certainly the safest-looking. But then you head to the lake and see a gargantuan diplodocus-thing, or visit the beach and instead of sun, sea, and sand, have a massive angler fish eyeing you up for lunch. Blue and green-glowing plants and aurora-like skies all look beautiful, but they’re paint and make-up for a strange and terrifying world that is dangerous as hell. Images: Nintendo Life I frequently look at FrontierNav to find probes to fill in or quests to unlock and attempt to track them, only to find out I need to do some complicated gymnastics routine that is impossible on foot. Just wait for a Skell, Alana, and stop trying to shimmy and leap your way up a polygonal column by hanging off some loose pixels. Thank god there’s no fall damage. I have a Skell now, and it’s way faster, but if some huge creature spots my big pink mech, hits it, and destroys it, I don’t want to pay out for insurance. Even though I’m a multi-millionaire. If I’m not scanning my map, I’m scrolling through my huge list of quests and story objectives, picking up new items, and finding people to rescue and bring back to New LA. There is so much going on at any one time in Xenoblade X that it puts almost every other world to shame. H.B. is doing push-ups outside the hangar, or Hope needs help gathering materials for a client. But then there’s a monster carrying materials I need for a brand new spear. It’s a procrastinator’s dream. There is, of course, a lot to do and deal with in Zelda and Elden Ring, too. And events like the Blood Moon and areas such as the Depths and the Underground build up some stressful to-do lists and danger zones in many ways. If you’re like me and found Mohgwyn Palace a little early, and then proceeded to bash your head against the wall as you take on the Lord of Blood under-levelled (look, I did it – it took me a couple of hours, but I got there in the end), then starry skies might be a little more unsettling than they were before. But nothing in those games compares to suddenly being spotted by a giant level-80 dinosaur. Yes, even the Gloom Spawn. *shudders* ...okay, these are still terrifying — Image: Nintendo Life Essentially, nowhere is safe in Mira, except New Los Angeles, but then I have to deal with Tatsu or Maurice, both dangerous in very different ways. But that’s also a huge part of the joy. Both Zelda games have their moments of calm, and Elden Ring’s scale is tempered by the fact you’re dealing with some extremely challenging bosses for good chunks of time. But all this really hammers home just how ahead of the curve Monolith Soft was back in 2015. Even as Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 returned to a more 'open-zone' format, you can see where the developers took inspiration from X, extracting and amplifying those more alien, uncanny elements. Eventually, I will reach ridiculously overpowered levels and be able to fly around in my Skell, but right now, the sheer terror of making my way through Mira and navigating its quirks and problems is all I need. Right now, I wouldn’t have it any other way, even if I’m totally frazzled while doing it. HD-hyah!

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.” X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.” It’s not clear what exactly brought these comments on, but they come at a time when AI companies including OpenAI (which Musk co-founded, competes with, and is challenging in court) are facing numerous lawsuits alleging that they’ve violated copyright to train their models. Indeed, tech evangelist and investor Chris Messina alluded to this while writing that Dorsey “has a point,” because, “Automated IP fines/3-strike rules for AI infringement may become the substitute for putting poor people in jail for cannabis possession.” Others were less sympathetic to this argument, with Ed Newton-Rex (whose nonprofit Fairly Trained certifies AI training practices that respect creators’ rights) describing the Dorsey-Musk exchange as “Tech execs declaring all-out war on creators who don’t want their life’s work pillaged for profit.” And the writer Lincoln Michel wrote that “none of Jack or Elon’s companies would exist without IP law,” adding, “They just hate artists.” Dorsey elaborated on his stance in subsequent replies, writing that there are “much greater models to pay creators” while claiming “the current ones take way too much from them and only rent-seek.” He made a similar point when attorney (and former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running mate) Nicole Shanahan pushed back with an all caps “NO.” “IP law is the only thing separating human creations from AI creations,” Shanahan said. “If you want to reform it, let’s talk!” Dorsey countered, “creativity is what currently separates us, and the current system is limiting that, and putting the payments disbursement into the hands of gatekeepers who aren’t paying out fairly.” Musk’s reply is at least consistent with statements he’s made in the past, for example telling Jay Leno that “patents are for the weak.” A decade ago, in a so-called “patent giveaway,” he pledged that Tesla would not enforce patents against other companies that used them “in good faith.” (The company subsequently sued Australia’s Cap-XX over patents, but it said that was a response to a lawsuit Cap-XX filed against a Tesla subsidiary.) And Dorsey has shown an interest in open source approaches to social media, most notably initiating the project that eventually became Bluesky, though he seemed to become disillusioned and eventually left Bluesky’s board. (Bluesky CEO Jay Graber recently said Dorsey’s departure “freed up” the company from seeming like a billionaire’s side project.)  It’s also worth noting that the line between a random conversation on Twitter/X and actual government policy is thinner than it used to be, with Musk joining the Trump administration and pushing mass layoffs through his Department of Government Efficiency — named after a meme and largely staffed from the tech world.

Bottom line: More than four years after Mark Zuckerberg rebranded Facebook as Meta to chase his metaverse vision, the company has poured tens of billions into the effort – with little to show for it. The ongoing losses have raised serious doubts about the strategy and its long-term viability. Insiders say the metaverse project has become a financial sinkhole, consuming $45 billion by early 2025. That's nearly equal to the combined market caps of social media rivals Snap and Pinterest – or the amount Elon Musk paid to acquire Twitter. Worse, Zuckerberg warned in last year's earnings report that losses would continue to "increase meaningfully," whatever that means. Yahoo Finance spoke to over a dozen former high-level Reality Labs employees, who described the wing as dysfunctional and disorganized. Frequent leadership changes and constant reshuffling reportedly sowed chaos, with many managers brought in from other Meta divisions despite lacking AR and VR expertise. One former research employee described the work environment as "chaotic," with "local heroes" from divisions like Instagram promoted to lead virtual reality teams despite lacking relevant experience. Another ex-staffer said Meta recklessly "plays employee bingo," assigning AR and VR roles to people who "don't really understand it." This combination of unqualified leadership and an unclear product strategy has significantly contributed to the division's staggering losses. Financial disclosures show the branch's losses have surged over the last several years – more than $6 billion in 2020, $10 billion in 2021, $13 billion in 2022, and $16 billion in 2023. The division lost another $3.8 billion in just the first quarter of 2024, wiping out its total revenue from 2022 and 2023 combined. Despite rising expenditures, the division's annual revenue has declined steadily since 2021 due to weak sales and continued failure to gain mainstream traction. Wall Street analyst Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management told Yahoo Finance that the division is a "financial disaster" dragging down Meta's stock. // Related Stories While some investors have remained patient, betting on the long-term promise of AR and VR, that optimism is starting to fade.

In his most recent Power On newsletter, Apple insider Mark Gurman says the Apple Watch won’t be receiving onboard Apple Intelligence, but it will still get useful features that are powered by AI. While the Apple Watch isn’t receiving a major overhaul, Gurman says it will get some new interface elements and give users a “smaller taste of the big shifts underway at Apple.” These upcoming changes will be announced in more detail at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). Gurman says the two main subjects of the June event will be Apple Intelligence and something called Solarium, the internal name for a new design language Apple plans to implement for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Recommended Videos “The watch doesn’t currently have Apple Intelligence, and that isn’t exactly changing with the upcoming watchOS 12 software. But the company is branding a new set features as “powered by Apple Intelligence” (even though the device isn’t actually running the AI models directly)” said Gurman. Andy Boxall / Digital Trends While none of these features have been confirmed, past rumors suggest notification summaries and similar features will come to the wearables. The long-awaited but still-absent Siri overhaul could also come to the phone through an over the air update. Related Gurman also hinted that Apple plans to make hardware changes to the Apple Watch in the “next couple of years,” but didn’t give a more narrow timeframe than that. He suggested AI-enable cameras could come to the Apple Watch (and possibly even Apple AirPods) in that time, following the success of Meta’s glasses. We don’t have a concrete timeframe for when to expect any of these changes, but Apple has kicked research into overdrive to keep up with its competitors. With that in mind, the iPhone giant will likely give details in June at WWDC with the updates rolling out in the months following. Editors’ Recommendations

23andMe is looking for buyers, raising concerns about how the company's trove of genetic data might be leveraged under a new owner. Getty Images; Alyssa Powell/BI 2025-04-13T17:26:44Z Save Saved Read in app This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? 23andMe filed for bankruptcy amid financial struggles and fallout after a data breach. Now, potential buyers and investors are weighing the value of its DNA database. One of the world's largest troves of genetic information, its sale is raising new privacy concerns. Late last month, genetic testing giant 23andMe filed for bankruptcy.The San Francisco-based company — cofounded in 2006 by former healthcare investor Anne Wojcicki — rose to fame for offering genetic testing services directly to customers.When the company went public in 2021, it was valued at just over $6 billion. Now, it says it had debts of $2.3 billion, about $126 million in cash and cash equivalents, and needs additional liquidity.The company's descent into financial uncertainty wasn't sudden.23andMe had struggled with its business model, failing to turn a profit almost two decades after it began selling direct-to-consumer DNA test kits. Demand for its premiere product — a one-time test — began waning around 2019, and its effort to provide more consumer value through additional services wasn't enough to close the gap.Then,data breach that cost the company $30 million in a later settlement agreement. The breach also made potential new customers nervous about the security of their data and more resistant to purchasing kits.The company's announcement that it was filing for bankruptcy and seeking buyers has now further raised concerns among consumers about the security of 23andMe's database, one of the largest consumer DNA databases in the world.Cybersecurity experts have urged users to delete their data, pointing to a host of risks: Genetic data can be used to further discrimination, enable financial fraud, and develop biological weapons, they say.23andMe has said it will continue operating until a buyer is found. A race to acquire the company — and its data — has begun.Here's everything you need to know about the sale and what might happen to your DNA data.What genetic data does 23andMe even collect?23andMe gathers genetic data using saliva samples. Consumers receive a collection kit and submit about 2 milliliters of saliva. Each kit has a collection tube labeled with a 14-digit barcode."After the sample passes visual inspection, the barcode — which is the only identifying information shared with the laboratory — is scanned and the sample moves to DNA extraction," 23andMe spokesperson Ann Sommerlath told BI by email. "Once a sample is successfully genotyped, the laboratory sends the resulting data back to 23andMe along with the accompanying barcode, at which point we can begin interpreting your data."Genotyping is the process identifying variations in someone's genetic code. These variations influence a person's physical traits, their development, and susceptibility to disease.How does the company handle its genetic data?Aside from sharing individual genetic reports with customers, if they opt-in, 23andMe says it uses anonymized genetic and self-reported information for research."When customers agree to participate in 23andMe Research via our consent document, they give 23andMe permission to share their de-identified, individual-level data with approved, qualified research collaborators outside of 23andMe," Sommerlath told BI. "De-identification (replacing personal information with a random ID) enables researchers to protect the identity of individuals."23andMe shares some of the resulting research in its blog. In a piece from November 2024, for example, the company wrote that many of its users are descendants of Mayflower passengers.23andMe was found to offer the "clearest privacy policy" in a review of 10 popular genetic testing services — including Ancestry, Toolbox Genomics, and Everlywell — that was conducted by the data privacy service Icogni.Does a 23andMe buyer have to comply with its privacy policy?Yes. And then no.In order to make a qualified bid, "potential buyers must, among other requirements, agree to comply with 23andMe's consumer privacy policy and all applicable laws with respect to the treatment of customer data," the company said in a letter posted to its website on March 26.Ron Zayas, CEO of Ironwall, a privacy service offered by Incogni, told Business Insider that the letter is just a guideline and leaves several questions unanswered."For how long is the letter good for? A day after purchase, a year?" Zayas asked. "What if a company like a data broker buys the company? It may change the definition of all the terms in the letter and even the privacy statement."Benjamin Farrow, a partner at Anderson, Williams, & Farrow, said the new owner isn't legally bound to the existing privacy policy after purchase."There is no way a court will say the terms of service can never be changed," he told BI. "It's like buying a car. Once you own it, you can paint it, change the interior, do anything you want with it."Thorin Klosowski, a"It doesn't take very many leaps of logic to think through some of the worst-case scenarios," Klosowski said. "Whether that is an insurance company or a company that would grant easier access for law enforcement."Despite the bid requirements for 23andMe, Klosowski said, "We don't really know how that's going to play out.""We don't know what would happen if an unscrupulous company didn't do that. We don't know how closely they would be monitored," he said.Who wants to buy the company?Wojcicki, for one. She said she resigned as CEO of the company "so I can be in the best position to pursue the company as an independent bidder," in a post on X on March 24 announcing the bankruptcy.A handful of other companies have also expressed interest.Nucleus Genomics, founded by 25-year-old University of Pennsylvania dropout Kian Sadeghi, has explored the possibility of purchasing 23andMe. For Nucleus Genomics — a new player on the genetic testing market focused on whole genome testing — there's some value in the data and technology of a company with a 20-year history, Sadeghi said.Crypto nonprofit Sei Foundation has also expressed interest in acquiring 23andMe. "This isn't just another bankruptcy. It's a digital land grab on one of history's most profoundly intimate data sets," the Sei Foundation said in an X post on March 31.Pinnacle, an analytics company, is also apparently interested. In a LinkedIn post addressed to 23andMe's shareholders, Pinnacle cofounder and CEO Ryan Sitton wrote: "We will give you $100 million for 23andMe today."How valuable is its genetic data?There is no formula for quantifying the value of 23andMe's data, so potential buyers and informed speculators are making educated estimates.Kanyi Maqubela, managing partner of venture capital firm Kindred Ventures, which has invested in several healthcare companies, told BI that genetic data is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical research and development because it often includes early disease markers.Pharmaceutical companies are typically "very data hungry, always looking for new data pipelines, and always looking to collect it at scale," he said. So, "even partial genomic sequencing at the individual level is quite valuable."It's even more valuable "if you've got metadata attached to it, so like demographic information, name," he said. By connecting people across geographies and disease levels, health companies can start drawing correlations across the data, which makes it all the more valuable, he added.Incogni's Zayas said that 23andMe's data "is probably worth more than the service they were selling.""If you look at the value of monetized information, a good cellphone can go for $50," he said. "Good buyer information, good credit card information, good demographic information, you can start looking at tens or even hundreds of dollars per individual."23andMe has access to all of that and more, he said. "Just in research for insurance companies, that's got to be worth at least a few hundred dollars per individual."The company says it has over 15 million customers, so by Zayas' calculations the data itself is worth several billions, at least.Jessica Vitak, a professor at the University of Maryland's College of Information who researches data privacy, told BI that 23andMe's data is "fairly unique" and "extremely revealing.""There's a tremendous trove of not just genetic data tied to those accounts, but the majority of people who use the service also completed surveys, so there are other data points that would interest various third parties," Vitak said. "Whether it's advertisers, health researchers, or people selling data to a whole range of entities."Vitak said the depth of information is one reason 23andMe's data is so valuable."It's one thing if I decide to share information about myself, but genetic data isn't just about me," Vitak said. "It's about all my direct family members, too."Sadeghi from Nucleus Genomics, however, said he is not making a bid because he thinks the data is valuable but instead because of another company 23andMe acquired.23andMe only gathers "a small sliver of someone's DNA and the most critical genetic markers are actually completely absent from the data. They're just not there, and that's why it actually doesn't work for drug discovery. That's why it never worked as a clinical test either," he told BI. "The data is worth something, but is it worth anywhere near what people are positing today? Absolutely not."Sadeghi said the real value of 23andMe is in Lemonaid Health — the telehealth company it acquired for $400 million in 2021 — as a way to connect with customers.What can the new owners do with the company — and its genetic data?Sadeghi said he sees the data as one component of a "real-time, consumer-centric, quantified health platform" he wants to build. "There's no reason why you can't bring together someone's blood, genetics, drugs, urinary analysis, full body MRIs, wearables, all together in a single platform that can basically completely revolutionize disease prevention, disease diagnosis, and also disease treatment," he said.Kindred's Maqubela said that "no one roots for a bankruptcy," but 23andMe's data is a "treasure trove" that he thinks could help grow the burgeoning field of multi-omics.Multi-omics combines data from the genome (genes), proteome (proteins), transcriptome (RNA transcripts), epigenome (modifications to DNA), metabolome (molecules produced in metabolism), microbiome (fungi, bacteria, viruses), and more to create a more comprehensive picture of human biology."It's a very young field, mostly stuck right now in pharma R&D, and then in some bench and lab research, and so it hasn't yet broken into scaled provider and end patient uses, but it's going to soon," he said. 23andMe's data, he added, could accelerate the development of mult-omics.Maqubela said the recent advances in AI also present new opportunities to use this data. "If you put it in pre-training for a big LLM, what comes out on the other end of that is actually very hard to know and could be very, very, very interesting," he said, referring to large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT.Vitak said potential buyers could use the data for research. "23andMe partnered with numerous researchers, so there could be buyers that would continue to expand access to that type of data to advance precision medicine or other types of research," she said.Given the breadth, nature, and potential of 23andMe's data, Vitak and Klosowski said the sale is unprecedented."Any organization dealing with data as sensitive as our genetic material has a moral responsibility to take extra care," Vitak said.Are there laws that exist to protect you?Vitak and Klosowski said consumers need more federal protections regarding genetic data privacy.Some states have implemented laws to help protect consumer data, including Montana, where, in 2023, state legislators passed the Genetic Information Privacy Act, which is focused on protecting consumers' genetic data. California has similar protections for genetic data with direct-to-consumer testing companies.The federal government, meanwhile, enforces the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which bars employers and health insurers from discriminating against individuals based on genetic information.However, Vitak said the United States also needs something like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, which enforces broader protections for data processing."The data breach and the sale are further making the case for why we need stronger data protection for consumers," Vitak.
