Star Acting Chief Executive Hogg Resigns

With the scores tight in the second term, Shierlaw kicked two goals in as many minutes to open up a 21-point lead that the Saints never looked like giving up, despite it being a memorable occasion for the Swans in front of 8264 fans.
In that situation," Hackett said of the fourth-down call, "I wanted to have a very good protection, wanted to get a first down to finish the game and not just a field goal. The defense had been playing great and wanted to finish it off for them. I wanted to be somewhat aggressive, but not too aggressive and in the end, we have to execute the play better.

Xbox maker Microsoft announced the $69 billion acquisition of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard Inc in January and has pledged to keep the hit franchise on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement with Activision.

First-year coach Nathaniel Hackett and quarterback Russell Wilson sat near the nine-time Pro Bowler's locker after Thursday's 12-9 loss to dissect what transpired without counting missed opportunities against the Colts.

In a spirited first showing, the Swans controlled the ball and territory for long periods but the visitors gradually wore them down to reveal they are well placed to improve on a 13th-placed finish last season.

Georgia Patrikios had a game-high 18 disposals and added strength to the Saints' midfield in her first match after sitting out season six when choosing not to meet vaccination requirements, while Tarni White gathered 17 touches.

"When we built the system, we built the system that was a combination of both our stuff and his stuff," Hackett said of Wilson. "We wanted to be sure that we were doing it -- a lot of the stuff carried over. ... I think we definitely want to take a hard look at everything that he's done successfully and make sure we're accommodating him as much as possible so that he feels comfortable. But at the same time, we want to do things that our players do. It's a different team than the team that he was on in the past. So we just want to make sure we're doing all the right stuff."

"Our core activities and values remain unchanged. We want to create revolutionary role-playing games with memorable stories that inspire gamers," the company's chief executive Adam Kicinski said in a statement.

Clara Fitzpatrick made a stirring return after two seasons on the sidelines due to visa issues and an ACL injury, and Saints midfielder Molly McDonald (13 disposals) showed that she is ready to emerge as a key player in her fourth season.

Cloud gaming service Google Stadia will shut down on Jan. 18, the search giant said in blog post Thursday. Google will refund all Stadia hardware purchased through its Google Store, along with all games and add-on content purchased from its Stadia store.

"I think it's a combination of everybody getting used to each other down in that region. You can never practice that region enough and we have to execute better, we have to coach better, we have to come up with better plays and we have to run the ball more.

That tech will also be made available to Google's industry partners. Sony gave its own streaming service a headstart in 2015 by buying the patents of OnLive -- an early game streaming service -- shortly before the once-promising startup shut down.

Wilson was still in his uniform replaying the loss that included a fourth-and-1 at the Indianapolis 5 in overtime. Wilson's pass was knocked down in the end zone to end the game, as teammate KJ Hamler slammed his helmet repeatedly into the end zone turf. Hamler came open on an in-cutting route for a potential game-winning TD, but Wilson was looking to his left.

Apart from new Pkv games, CD Projekt said it planned to set up a new studio in North America, adding multi-player to the majority of future projects, and further expansion of its franchises into film and TV.

"Of course, right now, I would much rather have run the ball and then kicked the field goal to take more time off, but in that situation, I thought it was a good play call. It was my decision to do that and (we) just need to execute better."

It appears that Google didn't tell many developers about the shut-down prior to the public blog post. Destiny 2 makers Bungie tweeted on Thursday about coming up with "a plan of action" in the wake of the announcement. Assassin's Creed developer Ubisoft intends to allow players who've bought its games on Stadia to bring them to PC through its Ubisoft Connect digital distribution service, it said Friday. 

The company, which had a bumpy time after the bug-ridden launch of "Cyberpunk 2077" game in late 2020, said it started conceptual work on an entirely original project, outside of the Cyberpunk and The Witcher sagas.

While Stadia will shut down on January 18, 2023, we're happy to share that we're working to bring the games you own on Stadia to PC through Ubisoft Connect. We'll have more to share regarding specific details as well as the impact for Ubisoft+ subscribers at a later date.
