Yesterday on Readwrite Gaming we covered a trucking sim bundle from Aerosoft aimed squarely at the American Truck / Euro Truck Simulator market which may have been feeling a little neglected with all the recent attention focused heavily on the sim racing and flight sim markets when it comes to the release of peripherals to play with. We promised in that article that we would have further news today of another company packing up and adding to its existing trucking steering wheel and that company is none other than Moza, who is really flying at the moment. Since its debut earlier this year, the Moza truck sim wheel has won over sim drivers for its authentic handling, durable design, and attention to detail.

Chapter 2 of Fortnite’s Remix mode is proving popular with old and new players alike but if you are just diving in having only played Fortnite over the last couple of years, some of the mode’s mechanics may be causing you a little stress. Besides having to get used to a brand new (brand old) map and all its historical Points of Interest, Chapter 2 of Remix harks back to Chapter 2 of Fortnite OG. One of the new features that is in Remix that was never there back in the day is the relatively new Upgrade Benches where you can customize your weapons (almost) to your heart’s content. But first, you need to know where the benches are generally located and be very much aware that other players are probably heading for them too.

The gambling regulator in France is set to ban Polymarket, the blockchain-based prediction market that soared in prominence during the U. S. presidential election.  Local media outlet The Big Whale first reported that the National Gaming Authority (ANJ) is currently probing Polymarket’s operations and assessing if it meets French gambling legislation.  The market closed out the race for the White House giving Donald Trump a 99% chance of success, as it recorded $3.5 billion in trading volume over the course of the election. A notable event during the contest and a catalyst for further scrutiny by the ANJ was when a French trader, identified only as Theo, staked more than $30 million on Trump securing another term in office.  He is said to have pocketed almost $50m in profit from his wager.  It has been reported the ANJ could exercise its power to ban access to the site and block domain names, as well as pressuring outlets that link to Polymarket.
