Are AAA Games Getting Worse? Data Says No

2025-04-28

The author initially believed AAA games were declining in quality, hypothesizing that the increase in open-world games and sequels was to blame. However, after analyzing data from the IGDB database, this hypothesis was refuted. The data shows that the number of AAA open-world games and major sequels peaked in the late 2010s and has been declining since. While open-world AAA game ratings have dipped slightly in recent years, overall, they remain comparable to other AAA game types. The author concludes that it's not the game genres themselves, but a shift in personal perception that accounts for the feeling of declining quality.

Improving Web PKI Security: How SCTNotAfter Prevents Widespread Certificate Errors

2025-03-06

Historically, distrust events for Certificate Authorities (CAs) caused significant disruptions due to widespread certificate errors. However, with Certificate Transparency (CT) logs and shorter certificate lifetimes, the situation has improved. The new SCTNotAfter mechanism provides cryptographic assurance about the certificate's 'NotBefore' date, allowing distrust to be applied to certificates issued after a future date, giving users time to transition. This approach, successfully used by Chrome in handling GLOBALTRUST and Entrust, minimizes user disruption while enhancing Web PKI security and user experience.
