Amazon has canceled Crucible
Amazon has officially canceled Crucible, its free-to-play multiplayer shooter. It's the end of a rocky journey for the game, which was first launched in May after years in development before being put back into closed beta in July.

"We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we've loved seeing your responses to the changes we've made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn't see a healthy, sustainable future ahead [for] Crucible," the Crucible team said in a blog post.

If you're in the closed beta, you'll still be able to play the game in some form for a short while. The developers will be hosting a "a final playtest and community celebration" in the next few weeks, according to the blog. Once that's done, matchmaking will be disabled, but you'll be able to play custom games (which are expected to be available in the coming days) until 3PM ET on November 9th. The company also says that it will be offering a full refund for any purchases you might have made. If you want refunds, follow the instructions on this site.

Razer's first gaming chair is a curvier Secretlab Omega / Titan with fancy lumbar support
For its very first gaming chair, it looks like Razer decided to largely copy one of today's oft-cited favorites: the new $499 Razer Iskur is a dead ringer for the similarly-priced Secretlab Omega and Titan.

You can compare the design, the recline mechanism, the stitching -- heck, just look at those nigh-identical 4D armrests below -- and the inspiration is plainly clear. And yet Razer explicitly tells The Verge it's not a collaboration with Secretlab, saying the chair was "designed and developed in-house." And Secretlab tells us it doesn't share a production facility with Razer or any other manufacturer, though it isn't currently calling out Razer beyond this tweet.
