Amazon has cancelled its Lord of the Rings MMO. Bloomberg reports the game, which was announced in 2019, was scrapped over a dispute between Amazon and Chinese mega-corp Tencent. In July 2019, Amazon's game development arm, Amazon Game Studios, revealed it was co-developing a new free-to-play MMO based on JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Amazon was working with LA-based developer Athlon Games - a subsidiary of Chinese publisher Leyou Technologies, owner of Warframe developer Digital Extremes and Splash Damage. In December, Tencent bought Leyou, which forged contract negotiations over the Lord of the Rings MMO. Bloomberg said these negotiations led to a dispute that ultimately resulted in the game's cancellation. An Amazon spokesperson told Bloomberg that after Tencent's acquisition of Leyou, "we have been unable to secure terms to proceed with this title at this time."

Next S o it is official. US troops will leave Iraq by the end of 2011. Since former President George W Bush declared war on Iraq in 2003, more than 4,000 American soldiers have lost their lives, and the United States has spent an estimated $3.2 trillion to finance the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a study by Brown University. While Iraq was quickly defeated and Saddam Hussein eventually captured and executed, it took another 8 years before the Iraqi government and security forces were strong enough for the U.S. to withdraw. The United States had previously agreed to leave 3,000 to 5,000 troops in Iraq as trainers, but after failed negotiations with the Iraqi government, as few as 150 troops will remain in the Middle Eastern country. The current military presence in Iraq stands at just under 40,000.

LONDON/NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Since the World Health Organisation declared the novel coronavirus an international health emergency in January, Facebook has removed more than seven million pieces of content with false claims about the virus that could pose an immediate health risk to people who believe them. The social media giant, which has long been under fire from lawmakers over how it handles misinformation on its platforms, said it had in recent months banned such claims as "social distancing does not work" because they pose a risk of "imminent" harm. Under these rules, Facebook took down a video post on Wednesday (Aug 5) by United States President Donald Trump in which he claimed that children are "almost immune" to Covid-19. But in most instances, Facebook does not remove misinformation about the new Covid-19 vaccines that are still under development, according to the company's vaccine policy lead Jason Hirsch, on the grounds that such claims do not meet its imminent harm … [Read more...] about Facebook’s dilemma: How to police claims about unproven Covid-19 vaccines
