![]() For these perpetrators of cybercrime, there are now more digital channels than ever to conduct heinous attacks on everyone from regular citizens to the largest corporations. In an ongoing issue revealed to the public on Monday by Trend Micro, the latest information suggests that one of the most downloaded apps on the Google Play Store, SHAREit, is in big trouble due to major security vulnerabilities. It wouldn’t be the first time that both the Android OS and the Google Play Store have run into trouble, either. TREND MICRO SHAREIT PLAY STORECIMPANUZDNET ANDROID SHAREit is a multi-purpose cross-platform sharing app that promises “ high transfer speeds & free online feeds“. It is developed and distributed by Barcelona-based Softonic. Information on their website states that they are the global leader in software and app discovery. Their SHAREit app claims to be the “fastest in the world” with the ability to “transfer all types of files” with an included “powerful” media player. ![]() SHAREit brings in over 1 billion installations and hosts hundreds of millions of active users.

Their genre, the art form, what we think a game could be. Orion Kellogg, executive producer at Lucasfilm Games, and Ryan Treadwell, lead producer at Aspyr, consider Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (known to fans as KOTOR) among those rare works. ![]() I started on the Apple IIC and played all the BioWare games. It wasn’t until I started playing KOTOR that I really understood how cinematic they could be,” Kellogg tells. “When I first put in KOTOR and saw that the camera was pulled down to ground level and I could look up at the skyscrapers of Taris, I really felt that I’d been put in the world in a way that I never had before. The characters were speaking to me in full VO and reacting to my choices, whether I was going light side or dark.

One set me on my career path, the other kick-started my love of storytelling,” says Treadwell. “When KOTOR was released it married those two passions brilliantly. I was so excited to finally create my hero and explore the galaxy, making the choices I wanted to. As a kid I would pretend to create my own lightsaber out of wrapping paper rolls and this game was letting me customize my own. That personal connection for Kellogg and Treadwell has new meaning today. Announced at PlayStation Showcase 2021, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake will see the classic RPG return as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive at launch and for PC. Aspyr - the Texas-based studio that has collaborated with Lucasfilm on various projects for over a decade, including a recent spate of well-received re-releases from the LucasArts era - is handling development, rebuilding the game from the ground-up. ![]() ![]() So to borrow a line from Darth Vader, the circle is now complete for Kellogg and Treadwell. “It’s a big honor to have the opportunity to work on it.” “I really, really think that RPGs have never been the same since,” says Kellogg. “Speaking for the development team, most of us are triple-A RPG developers,” says Treadwell.
