With schools being forced to closed down in many parts of the world because of COVID-19 concerns, we're looking for ways that won't further disrupt students' studies. Adobe is hoping to help those studying from home by offering free temporary remote access to Creative Cloud. But there are a few conditions that need to be met.
School IT administrators will need to fill out this application form to request a remote Creative Cloud license. The school will also need to be an existing education customer. The permit will be valid until May 2020. Adobe will verify each request, but if your school is an existing customer, then your institution will qualify for the offer.

With conventions and gatherings like GDC and Indie Megabooth getting cancelled because of COVID-19 concerns, a lot of independent developers have lost a way to get their games showcased. Valve is hoping to help these developers out by hosting a spring edition of its Steam Game Festival. It offers indie developers a digital space to turn the spotlight on their games. Steam will feature over 40 games during the event starting March 18, Wednesday, and might last for 48 hours, like the last Game Festival held in December. Steam hasn't released the games and demos that will be available, but these will show up on the Steam store this Wednesday.
