    Disney’s Star Tours ride is adding bits from Ahsoka, Andor and The Mandalorian.

    Disney Imagineering tells us the ride will now have more than 250 different variations, up from... well, it depends:

    Currently, there are reported to be 4 opening segments, 5 primary destination segments, 7 hologram segments, and 5 ending destination segments which can be combined in different ways, while still taking into account the separation of different eras of the Lucasfilm portfolio.

    Grogu and company will be added on April 5th at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris.

    Google’s making game devs an offer they probably can’t refuse.

    It’ll let them use their own payments alongside (or instead) of Google Play, starting this week.

    If you do, it’ll only charge you 26 (or 27) percent of revenue instead of 30, or 11 (or 12) percent for subs instead of 15. What a savings! Never mind Google knows you’ll pay more than the discount to process payments yourself. Never mind that Spotify pays zero.

    Play devs can also link to outside payment offers this week in the EU. Tim Sweeney’s calling that a “new Google Tax on web transactions,” but we don’t yet have details.

    3DS emulator Citra’s source code is gone.

    It wasn’t immediately clear from Bunnei’s memo whether the Nintendo 3DS emulator was toast or might live on under new management — they only said that “Yuzu’s support of Citra” was being discontinued.

    But now, the source code has vanished from GitHub — just like Yuzu’s source code did. Here’s our full story:

    DJI’s first US brick-and-mortar shop looks like a tiny old-school Apple Store.

    Can’t say much ‘cuz I’m ethically bound, but gosh does this remind me of the old narrow San Jose Oakridge Apple store, particularly the metal walls, which in turn always reminded me of the trash compactor scene in Star Wars.

    It’s located right here, and DJI says it’ll open 10AM on March 5th, with free swag for the first 100 customers.

    Bunnei confirms Yuzu is shutting down — and it’ll hit Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra too.

    Here’s the whole memo from Bunnei, who was lead contributor on both emulators. We’ve also added the full text to our main story if that makes it easier to read. Yuzu’s source code is already down.

    This just got posted to the Yuzu discord.

    It’s different, and different can be good.

    VR / XR / AR shots fired.

    Meta’s CTO says there are reasons Meta thumbed its nose at Google re: AndroidXR (something The Info reported this morning). He suggests Google’s talking shit about Meta behind its back and demanding “restrictive terms.”

    I can see why Google might try: Oculus was once so willing to partner, it left Samsung and Xiaomi in charge of its mobile fate — and Google has a long, successful history of tying up partners with contracts in exchange for Google apps and a cut of search revenue. But does Meta need Google, or the other way round?
