In an interview with Computer and Videogames, BioWare co-CEO, Dr. Ray Muzyka, said the developer’s best work is “still ahead” of them. I don’t think BioWare has any problems releasing top notch games in terms of story, delivery or content. With the recent releases of Mass Effect 2 as well as Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare has proven to be versatile and willing to adapt to gamer feedback. I think the team finds it reassuring that you’ve done something good, you’ve got great sales, great critical success, but they’re driven by making the next thing even better....

“It has come to our attention that outside individuals or groups may attempt to exploit the tragedy that occurred last Sunday in Waukesha for their own political purposes,” the Wisconsin senators said in a joint statement. “As the U.S. Senators representing Wisconsin, one from each political party, we are asking anyone considering such action to cease and desist,” they added.

“Something with a long-term volatility of 80% can’t be considered a medium of exchange,” Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, head of consumer and investment management at Goldman Sachs, said in remarks at a recent conference reported by Bloomberg. “Just because everybody piles into an idea and talks it up doesn’t mean it’s a store of value.” To cite an extreme example, Bitcoin’s price in July 2010 increased 1000% in five days, rising from $0....

U.S. stocks gained 6.4% in the first quarter of 2020, while bond yields rose 3.6% and gold fell 10.3%. “In the context of Bitcoin’s historical returns, which have been quite remarkable, this period stands out as notable,” Greg Cipolaro, global head of research at New York Digital Investment Group, said in a research report. However, reduced volatility—not manic price swings ratcheting upward—could boost Bitcoin’s long-term valuation as major institutions move into the cryptocurrency to diversify their holdings....
