CD Projekt gets sued by investor over buggy 'Cyberpunk 2077'

Gamers aren't the only ones angered by the many issues of the highly-anticipated game, Cyberpunk 2077. An investor in the game filed a lawsuit against developer CD Projekt, claiming it misled investors about the game's performance ahead of its release, which caused a significant stock price drop and losses. According to the lawsuit, the company allegedly failed to disclose that the game was "virtually unplayable." Instead, it marketed the title as a success with some issues players won't notice. Andrew Trampe, the plaintiff, is looking to include other investors in the lawsuit to turn it into a class-action suit.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro tipped to cost US$199

Samsung's latest wireless buds will reportedly cost US$199 (around CA$256). It will supposedly get features like IPX7 rating for dust- and water-resistance, up to 28 hours of listening time with the charging case (or around eight hours per charge).

It will also reportedly get new active noise-cancelling buds with an 11mm woofer and 6.5mm tweeter. It also mentions that the Apple-like spatial audio feature will be available.

Daft Punk brings extended edition of 'Tron: Legacy' score to Spotify, Apple Music

As the film Tron: Legacy celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month, musicians Daft Punk thought it best to celebrate the occasion with a special release. The Tron: Legacy - The Complete Edition is now available on streaming services Spotify and Apple Music. It contains the original score along with nine additional tracks. 

While the additional songs are basically available in different releases before (like vinyl versions, etc.), it's good to have them compiled in one place. It's an excellent soundtrack on its own, but, as Engadget points out, it was released when Daft Punk fans were looking for new music from the French duo, whose last studio album was 2005's Human After All. After you're done with this soundtrack, you might also want to relisten to Tron: Legacy Reconfigured, which is an excellent remix album.
