Epic Games said on Tuesday (Mar 24) it would cut more than 1,000 jobs after a drop in engagement for Fortnite, its flagship title, the latest cuts in the video-game industry whose growth has stalled amid economic uncertainty.
The cuts, along with more than US$500 million in savings from lower contracting and marketing spending and unfilled roles would put the company in “a more stable place,” Chief Executive Tim Sweeney said in a note to employees.
The cuts are the latest in the gaming sector, where companies have faced weaker growth as consumers have been sticking with proven titles amid economic uncertainty.
But even those, especially live services games, which depend on a steady stream of new content to keep players engaged, are now showing signs of cracks.

Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are still underway at Washburn University in Kansas despite a state law banning the ideology, according to two recently published undercover videos.
Both edited videos were released this month by Accuracy in Academia, a conservative watchdog group that has over the last year targeted numerous universities across Republican-controlled states with the same sting: catching employees admitting to undercover investigators that they are flouting anti-DEI laws.
At Washburn, located in Topeka, a video published March 18 centers on lecturer Craig Carter with the School of Applied Studies, who told an AIM investigator that employees were told to discontinue DEI but “to my knowledge, we didn’t do any of that here.”
“A lot of times we use other words for diversity,” he was recorded saying on AIM’s hidden camera, according to the group.
“We talk about inclusion, you know, and stuff like that. For the most part, we haven’t been… I mean, I haven’t changed anything that I say or do in the classroom,” Carter said.
CNN host Kasie Hunt asked Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen Monday whether he believes Iranian officials over President Donald Trump.
Trump said talks had started between the United States and Iran. Iran, however, denied any such negotiations have taken place. During a discussion on “The Arena,” Hunt asked Van Hollen whether he trusts Iranian officials over the president.
“So you believe the Iranian officials over the president of the United States?” Hunt asked.

The Democrats’ partial government shutdown just crossed the one-month mark, and Americans trying to catch a flight are paying the price. Security lines stretch for three hours or more, and workers aren’t getting paid.
The shutdown started on February 14, when Democrats blocked a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, as a form of protest against immigration enforcement. And now, Elon Musk is stepping in to do what Democrats apparently can’t. While Democrats and Republicans duke it out, roughly 64,000 TSA employees are classified as essential workers — meaning they’re required to show up every single day, paycheck or not.

Sweden’s sweeping national digital ID system has been hacked, with the public’s sensitive data already being sold on the dark web.
A hacker group calling itself ByteToBreach has reportedly dumped sensitive source code tied to Sweden’s national digital identity system.
The incident is raising alarm over the risks of centralized control as governments worldwide push similar schemes.
The group claims it breached CGI’s Swedish division and accessed code connected to the nation’s digital identity system, called BankID.
BankID is the single authentication system used by millions of Swedes for banking, taxes, government services, and digital signatures.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe has detained the leading opponent to planned constitutional amendments that would extend the rule of the country’s 83-year-old president and make the post elected by Parliament, not the people. Former finance minister Tendai Biti was set to appear in court on Monday.
It’s the highest profile detention yet of critics of the attempt to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his rule, due to end in 2028, by two years. Police in recent months have banned meetings or arrested people for gathering to express opposition.
Biti leads the Constitutional Defenders Forum, a group campaigning against the amendments. CDF spokesman Jacob Rukweza said Biti and programs director Morgan Ncube are accused of holding a public meeting without notifying police. They were detained on Saturday in the eastern city of Mutare.
So many schools seem unready for the surge of interest in TPUSA. In many cases, they’re making stupid mistakes in dealing with them.
The College Fix reports:
Manchester Comm. College violates state law, 1st Amendment by making TPUSA move table: claim
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has sent a letter challenging Manchester Community College’s decision to require a Turning Point USA table to change locations due to its “political nature.”
According to the March 18 letter from FIRE Campus Rights Advocacy Counsel Garrett Gravley to Manchester CC President Paul Beaudin, MCC TPUSA President Samuel Raiti set up a table last October at the school’s main entrance “in an area that did not obstruct pedestrian traffic.”
The school’s chapter of Turning Point USA is an officially recognized student organization.
Washington, D.C. – Part 1 of a five-part Fox News Digital series investigation follows the money that created the “Revolutionary Base” for a transnational network of organizations allegedly waging cognitive warfare on U.S. citizens on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
As far-left American activists flood Cuba to support its flailing communist regime, U.S. officials have opened a sprawling investigation into an anti-America, pro-China nonprofit network forged during a wedding celebration in late February 2017, off Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s northern coast.
There, beneath a canopy of palm trees, an elite cadre of activists, intellectuals, celebrities, political organizers and comrades in a global Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement assembled to celebrate the “Revolutionary Love” of two luminaries, both 62 at the time: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, and Jodie Evans, a red-haired veteran activist and co-founder of CodePink Women for Peace.
Like the opening scene of “The Godfather,” where powerful families consolidate power, the wedding celebration was about much more than the union of two people.
In an interview with Chinese “Professor” Jiang Xueqin, the two discussed the ideal new world order.
Tucker Carlson: Xueqin: So what I would do is basically, basically sit down everyone, okay? Including Russia, China, Iran, and say, it’s time for a new world order where we are partners in this relationship. Right? Before America was a hegemon, before the US dollar was a world reserve currency. Uh, but now what we wanna do is open a dialogue where everyone is respected, where, um, America is, is no longer the bully, but a winning partner in creating a new economic order that benefits everyone and not just, and not just a few. Tucker: I, I think that’s the, the wisest possible advice and probably the only path that preserves civilization. Um, and, but they’re the one country standing in the way of that is Israel (Tucker Carlson on X).
Unsurprisingly, Tucker believes that the world would be a utopia without the Jews.

The communication uses magnetic field underground communication source technology, and is the world’s first successful attempt at it. Instead of relying on conventional radio waves, which get absorbed almost instantly by rock and soil, ETRI’s system uses low-frequency magnetic fields.
The setup includes a 1-meter-diameter transmitting antenna on the surface and a small, handheld-sized receiving sensor underground operating at around 15 kHz. That’s enough bandwidth to support a data rate of 2 to 4 kbps, which is sufficient for clear, two-way voice communication.
The team successfully tested bidirectional communication between the ground level and the fifth underground layer of a limestone mine, an environment where existing wireless technology cannot reach.
Previous research had only managed a few tens of meters. ETRI pushed that to 100 meters, and the technology is designed to go further.
Trump was asked about the sanctions relief, which could possibly produce $14 billion in revenue for Iran, while boarding Air Force One in Florida on Monday.
“We don’t even know if Iran gets that money,” Trump said. “Frankly, I think it’s very hard for them to get it, but you have ships that are out there that load it up with oil.”
Rather than keep it there, I would rather see it go to the system,” the president said. “Any small amount of money that Iran gets is not going to have any difference in this war. But I want to have the system be lubricated.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil Friday, as oil supplies have been limited due to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Friday evening, President Donald Trump issued Iran’s mullahs a 48-hour deadline: Open the Strait of Hormuz or say goodbye to your power plants.
And then, this morning — just 12 hours before the deadline ended — the president abruptly pulled the plug:
But did you notice the timing?
Trump delivered the ultimatum on Friday evening, after the U.S. markets had closed for the week. And he canceled his ultimatum on Monday morning, just before the U.S. markets reopened.
And the new five-day deadline? Why, it conveniently begins after the U.S. markets close on Friday!
None of this was coincidental.
Meanwhile, Iran quickly claimed victory:

Trump, fearing Iran’s response, backed down from his 48-hour ultimatum:

President Donald Trump on Monday floated the idea of joint control over the Strait of Hormuz and appeared uncertain about Iran’s current leadership while taking questions from reporters.
Speaking on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport before departing Florida following a weekend at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins who currently controls the critical waterway.
The president suggested a resolution could be near if ongoing negotiations with Tehran pan out.
Record-long security lines are snarling airports nationwide as the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown drags into its sixth week, and President Trump says reinforcements are on the way.
With TSA short-staffed after a surge of callouts, the White House plans to deploy ICE agents to 14 airports to help keep lines moving and reduce bottlenecks, according to administration officials. The move comes as travelers report arriving hours early just to have a shot at making flights.
Virginia Democrats have pushed through a sweeping package of gun control legislation that represents a major rollback of Second Amendment protections for millions of law-abiding citizens.
In just 60 days, the Virginia General Assembly advanced more than a dozen anti-gun measures, including SB 749 and HB 217.
The two identical bills target commonly owned semi-automatic firearms.
The legislation now sits on the desk of Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who has already indicated she will sign the measures into law.
President Donald Trump said his two primary negotiators in dealing with Iran met with representatives from the Islamic Republic on Sunday night, hours before he postponed U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke with their Iranian counterparts, Trump confirmed to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who relayed the information to her audience Monday morning.
Trump’s comments came shortly after Iranian state media reported that there were no “direct or indirect” talks with his administration.
The president said he did not know what the state-run media outlets were talking about and suggested they did not know the latest information, according to Bartiromo.
“It’s hard to get any information there because the U.S. is blowing up so much of their infrastructure,” he told the Fox News host.
“I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc.”
President Trump said in a Sunday post that he supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers wearing masks during operations targeting “hardened criminals,” while also calling for agents to go without masks during their work at airports.
“I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful “Border Czar,” Kamala (she never even went to the Border!), through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy. I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc. Thank you! President DJT” the post read.
Agents were deployed to airports on Monday to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers as Democratic lawmakers continue to withhold full funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
