Open-world games can be very detailed, but not everyone wants that level of complexity. Are there any games where you can customize your character’s skills or gear without it being crucial to the experience? We’re looking at games with some character progression or equipment choices, so titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 – where customization isn’t a core feature – won’t be included.
When asked about creating anime for an international audience, Itō explained that focusing too much on global appeal can actually backfire. He believes what Japanese creators think will resonate with a worldwide audience often doesn’t, and pointed out that America has very high standards for political correctness.

Blizzard Entertainment has a well-known history of struggling with spin-off shooter games based on the StarCraft universe. The first attempt, StarCraft: Ghost, was announced in 2002 and would have put players in the role of Nova, a Terran special operative, in a stealth-action game. After years of delays and setbacks, Blizzard put the project on hold, but didn’t officially cancel it until 2014. A second StarCraft shooter, internally known as ‘Ares,’ also faced cancellation in 2019. Reports suggest this was to free up developers to work on Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4. According to industry insider Jason Schreier, another reason for the cancellation of StarCraft: Ares was its gameplay being too similar to Battlefield, which Activision, Blizzard’s parent company, saw as competition to its Call of Duty franchise.

![Through the fusion of key-value (KV) cache blocks, the computational footprint during batch decoding is demonstrably reduced, and efficiency is further enhanced by enabling the reuse of computations across unified representations of data chunks - a strategy illustrated by the shared computation of chunks 0, 1, and 2, effectively minimizing redundant matrix operations and optimizing performance via [latex] KV [/latex] cache management.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.03067v1/figures/assets/shared_chunks.png)
