The players said the ruling “held that compensation for the women and men was equal because the teams received about the same amount per game. That approach accounted for one measure of pay [games played] but not the other [performance]. That was a significant error, because the performance bonuses make up most of the players’ pay, and the women were the best in the world, while the men were much less successful....

The Americans became the second team to secure a berth out of CONCACAF after Costa Rica did so by beating Trinidad and Tobago on penalties earlier on Friday — in addition to Canada as the automatically placed hosts, of course. Carli Lloyd scored the first two with an early header and a converted penalty. Christen Press got the third with a splendid move to round the goalkeeper. FOX SPORTS: U....

KiXSTAr initially gained a strong following on Twitch due to his skill at Rainbow Six Siege, garnering over 400,000 followers on the platform tuning in to watch his incredible play. KiXSTAr spent time with several different teams in Rainbow Six Siege’s competitive circuit playing for Team Orbit and OrglessGG among others throughout his career. KiXSTAr’s popularity among the community didn’t escape the game’s developers either as Ubisoft had previously posthumously honored KiXSTAr and has now added a tribute to one of the most legendary moments of his career....

However, in recent months, Ubisoft’s situation has not been ideal. Significant projects were pushed back, and multiple titles were stuck in development purgatory, accompanied by misadventures in the NFT realm, and sexual harassment scandals. This has prompted the French studio to revamp its strategies and, consequently, scrap seven unannounced titles in the past few months.

After all, Ubisoft has supported the Wii U from day 1 with ports of all their latest games — from Assassin’s Creed 3 to Watch_Dogs — and a console exclusive in ZombiU. Not to mention they were, at one point, willing to sacrifice potential 360 and PS3 sales by making Rayman Legends a Wii U exclusive. That’s no longer the case, but the initial thought still counts. While most publishers are “abandoning ship” or reeling in Wii U support, a spokesperson for Ubisoft wants to assure the public they will do the exact opposite....

Nvidia recently also experienced a cyberattack that resulted in a multitude of employee details being leaked. The hacker group known as Lapsus$ noted that it would release the details of nearly all of Nvidia’s employees if its demands were not met.

By only featuring a prehistorically-styled PlayStation 4 in the Stone Age gaming den, it seems as if the studio is favoring Sony’s current generation console, despite the recent data Ubisoft released showing it values Xbox One gamers over PS4 owners due to the former generating the company more revenue. Nevertheless, such a show of partiality with the rock-based creations was likely not intentional on the part of Ubisoft, as the primitive take on contemporary gaming materials would have looked cluttered with more than one console being included....

Announced quite a while ago, there has been little word on Rainbow Six Quarantine recently. What is known is that unlike the extremely successful Rainbow Six Siege, Quarantine will be a horror title. This puts it in competition with titles Ubisoft seldom competes against, and in a genre the company rarely tackles. A recent statement also gives rise to the possibility that it will have a different title when released....

While details on Far Cry 6 are currently limited, theories are already mounting as to how the game can spice up a series already containing half a dozen entries (not counting spin-offs). Considering how most of Ubisoft’s current releases seem to follow a similar RPG style, from Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla to Immortals: Fenyx Rising, the video game developer is settling into a comfortable baseline across all its products. Based on this consistency between releases, it seems only natural and logical that Far Cry 6 will adopt this trend when it comes to its own features and mechanics....

The Colorado congresswoman tweeted on Wednesday that “the Constitution is not evolving” adding “to say that spits in the face of every single one of our founders.” It prompted a thread among those who interpreted the comment as showing she opposed amendments to the document.

The Founding Fathers intended the document to be flexible in order to fit the changing needs and circumstances of this country....

Speaking to Newsmax, Boebert said she has “moved on” from the controversy, in which she described getting an elevator with Omar while joking that she could have been a terrorist.

He was quiet for some time before last week, but now it looks like he is back to his modus operandi of giving quotable quotes. In a recent interview with TMZ, he made further provocative comments, this time talking about his relationship with LeBron James and issuing an ultimatum to Luke Walton.

Klinsmann’s job should be in jeopardy Gerrard confirmed on Tuesday that he would not be renewing his LA Galaxy contract, with a decision yet to be made over calling time on his career. But Lawrenson, who won five league titles with Liverpool, believes the 36-year-old could still make an impact in the Premier League. “They will not have to pay him fortunes – they can tell him if they need him he’ll play,” Lawrenson, who insists Gerrard could “definitely play in this Liverpool team”, told BBC Sport....
