Gaming  Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Ending Explained

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second game in a proposed trilogy, which means that some gamers may be curious how the game ends. By the end of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, developer Square Enix established that all bets are off with its re-do of the seminal JRPG. What was once canon could be changed in any number of ways, or it could follow a similar format to the original, albeit with some slight changes.

Emulator  Amazon has removed Emulation-Station from its app store because it "facilitates piracy"

Emulator frontend Emulation-Station has been removed from the Amazon Appstore, less than a week after its launch. The reasoning for the app's removal, is, according to Amazon, Emulation-Station, "facilitates emulating and pirating of games from third-party sources without explicit authorization from those sources", despite Emulation-Station merely acting as a frontend, and not actually including any emulators in the app. The development team behind ES-DE has instead decided to go ahead with self-publishing the APK for the Android version of their frontend. In order to get the app now, you'll need to join Emulation-Station's Patreon, for $5.50 USD a month. You'll then be given access to the Android APK that you can install on your...
