Indie game 'Disco Elysium' will be turned into a TV show

For fans of the detective role-playing game Disco Elysium, you might be pleased to hear that the game will be turned into a television show. Developer ZA/UM and production house Dj2 Entertainment announced its plans to develop the series, but it's currently in its early stages without a distributor or writing team.

There is no word yet when the feature will roll out to other platforms.

While the biggest Mac news is that the company will move away from Intel processors with future machines shifting towards the Apple Silicon, we also need to talk about the changes coming to macOS Big Sur, which we will summarize under the cut.
