ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe isn’t coming to Canada

If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, we regret to inform you that the powerhouse device isn’t coming to this country. ASUS company representatives have confirmed the cancellation of the phone’s arrival. But they didn’t say the reason behind this. Perhaps it could be a lack of confidence that the phone will sell well.

It comes with a CA$699 price tag but it doesn’t seem like an unreasonable amount for a phone that packs in a Snapdragon 820 processor, 6GB of RAM, and a 23-megapixel rear camera. The ZenFone 3 Deluxe was initially set to go on sale this month at a wide range of national retailers. It’s too bad the Taiwanese brand decided to pull the release of the phone.

Upcoming ‘No Man’s Sky’ update promises to bring base building

The release of No Man’s Sky has drawn a lot of flak from players that felt like the game didn’t deliver what it promised. The great thing with games these days is updates arrive to help fix any issues or improve on said game. On that note, Hello Games announced an upcoming update that will bring things such as base building. It’ll be part of what Hello Games is calling “The Foundation Update.”

This update has been in the works for nine weeks but Hello Games warns players that they shouldn’t expect an entirely different in-game experience right away. The game developer calls it “the start of something” instead of a fully-formed update that changes the way you play. Hello Games also addressed the criticism they’ve been getting and says they’re focusing on improving the game instead of getting into debates.
