Just 24 hours after launch, Hollow Knight: Silksong has soared to the top of Steam’s charts, hitting over 550,000 concurrent players and receiving glowing reviews — but not in China.
The game is being heavily review-bombed by Chinese-speaking users due to dissatisfaction with the Simplified Chinese translation. Many feel it’s a major downgrade from the first game’s highly praised localization.
Matthew Griffin, head of publishing for Silksong, acknowledged the backlash in a post on X: “To our Chinese-speaking fans: We appreciate you letting us know about quality issues with the current Simplified Chinese translation. We’ll be working to improve the translation over the coming weeks. Thanks for your feedback and support.”
Despite the response, Griffin’s post has been flooded with criticism, with many questioning why better quality checks weren’t in place before launch.
Localization expert Loek van Kooten described the current translation as turning Silksong’s poetic writing into something resembling “a high-school drama club’s Elizabethan improv night.” Critics also pointed out that one of the credited translators, Hertzz Liu, had previously leaked details about the game and boasted about their involvement.
In contrast, the original Hollow Knight had six Chinese translators, including one with experience on titles like Stardew Valley.
Currently, Silksong holds just a 50% approval rating from over 10,000 Simplified Chinese reviews on Steam. However, Valve’s recent change to segment reviews by language has prevented the backlash from affecting the game’s global rating.
Chinese players now make up the largest demographic on Steam, and while poor localization won’t impact non-Chinese players, it can stall a game’s success in that market. That said, once Team Cherry addresses the translation issues, Silksong is still poised for lasting success.
ISLAMABAD — The Reko Diq copper and gold mine project — one of the largest copper mines if commissioned as planned — in Pakistan has now secured $6 billion in loan pledges, after a Saudi Arabian investor pulled out, pushing Barrick Mining, the Canadian mine developer, to seek financing from U.S. and other international lenders.

New solution delivers runtime protection for AI models in media, broadcast and post-production environments—launching at AES AI/ML London and IBC Amsterdam ’25.
AI powers media workflows but edge deployment leaves models exposed. Fusion AI secures intellectual property, protecting companies’ innovations and competitive advantage in any environment.”
— Andrew Kirk, CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy
SILICON VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc., a pioneer in software security and licensing, today announced Fusion AI, a new solution purpose-built to protect deployed AI models from reverse engineering and IP theft—especially those used in audio engineering, broadcast workflows, and media post-production.
Unveiled ahead of IBC 2025 in Amsterdam and the 2025 AES International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Audio in London, Fusion AI enables companies to securely deploy AI-powered tools and models to off-premises systems—whether at the edge, in distributed production environments, or integrated into media plugins—without exposing the underlying algorithms or data.
AI models have become instrumental in modern media workflows: from real-time audio restoration and stem separation, to automated color grading and deep-learning-based asset tagging. Yet once these models are deployed to customer-controlled systems, they become vulnerable to inspection, replication, and theft. Fusion AI solves this by providing on-device, runtime protection for AI model data and logic.
“From automated dialogue replacement to generative content and smart editing, AI and large language models are transforming media workflows,” said Andrew Kirk, CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy. “But as more models are pushed to the edge—to plugins, render farms, and local processing nodes—they become highly exposed to reverse engineering. Fusion AI helps companies preserve their competitive edge by making AI IP secure, even in untrusted runtime environments.”
Fusion AI builds on PACE’s proven technologies—White-Box Works, Fusion, and iLok—to create a complete protection toolkit. This holistic approach secures AI models, algorithms, and IP across their lifecycle: at rest, in use, and in the market.
Secures Models and Keys with White-Box Encryption: Fusion AI encrypts model weights and protects decryption keys and logic using PACE White-Box Works, ensuring sensitive data is never exposed in memory or on disk.
Fuses Code and Runtime into a Secure Package: With PACE Fusion, model code, weights, and runtime are bound together into a single hardened binary that resists reverse engineering and lifting attacks.
Controls Usage and Monetization: Through PACE iLok Licensing, publishers can manage deployment, entitlement, and licensing to safeguard future revenue.
Every year, intellectual property theft drains more than $600 billion* from the U.S. economy alone. In an era where AI models are the product, Fusion AI protects against the growing risk of model theft and reverse engineering in media and entertainment.
*Source: Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property (also known as the IP Commission)
Use Cases in Focus:
• Audio plugin developers using ML for stem separation, audio enhancement, or mastering tools
• Broadcast solution providers deploying on-prem AI for real-time content tagging and asset classification
• Post-production teams relying on proprietary AI pipelines for VFX, restoration, or localization
• OEMs building intelligent media hardware that must resist model theft in the field
With over four decades of experience protecting digital assets, PACE Anti-Piracy continues to set the standard for software security. Fusion AI extends this legacy into the AI era, giving developers and media companies the confidence to innovate without fear of losing their intellectual property.
Fusion AI will be demonstrated at:
• AES International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Audio in London – September 2025
• IBC 2025 in Amsterdam – Future Tech Hall 14.B56, September 2025
Availability
Fusion AI is available for evaluation now. Full commercial availability is planned for Q4 2025, with licensing and integration details to be released at IBC.

Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski sparked dating rumors with a recent outing in Manhattan’s West Village. The pair was papped together on Friday, dining at the Waverly Inn, where they tucked into a booth and talked over drinks. A recent report covered the details of their outing, leaving the internet speculating about their relationship status.
Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski spotted chatting over drinks in NYC bar
According to TMZ’s exclusive report, Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski have fueled dating rumors by dining together. Sources revealed to the tabloid that Butler ordered an old-fashioned while Rajatkowski chose a martini. Neither ate during the night, but stayed put for almost two hours. Moreover, an insider claimed that Ratajkowski leaned in toward Butler several times, while he casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders at one point.
A tipster described to Deuxmoi that the pair was “very giggly and cute” during the outing. Their playful interaction was more than enough to add to the rumors that they may be more than just friends. Besides, this was not their first outing. Butler and Ratajkowski hung out together at the afterparty for the premiere of “Caught Stealing,” the former’s latest movie. A photo from the celebratory evening showed the two standing close and chatting.
Both Butler and Ratajkowski have well-documented dating histories. Butler was reportedly in a long-term relationship with model Kaia Gerber, whom he split with earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ratajkowski ended her marriage to Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022 and has since been linked to a few names, including Pete Davidson and Shaboozey. Additionally, Austin Butler’s friendship with his “Caught Stealing” co-star, Zoe Kravitz, was also a subject of chatter. However, sources squashed any romantic connection between them.
Neither Austin Butler nor Emily Ratajkowski has commented on their dating rumors or their recent Manhattan outing. But considering their photos, it’s no surprise people are speculating on their relationship status.

Club: Tottenham Debut: 15 August 1992 Premier League appearances: 20 Goals: 3
Former winger Turner became the Premier League’s youngest goalscorer at 17 years and 166 days – striking a late winner for Tottenham against Everton on 5 September 1992, less than a month into the new competition’s first season. His record stood for nearly five years before being broken by Michael Owen at Liverpool.
Having been given his debut in 1992 – when Terry Venables, Doug Livermore and Ray Clemence were in charge of the team – Turner fell out of favour under Ossie Ardiles before a serious ankle injury sent him on a nomadic career with numerous loan spells in the Football League.
“Everytime someone young scores a goal, people mention it to me,” Turner, who is now head of development at Hednesford Town, tells BBC Sport. “It is quite nice to reminisce and to know exactly how people in this scenario are feeling.
“When I saw Rio Ngumoha score, his story reminded me of my own. He played well in pre-season and took his chance and I was similar, then being given an opportunity in the first team. He came off the bench and scored in the last minute like me.
“Young players need to be good enough and these guys are special talents. In my season at Spurs when I played, I was managed very well. I was told when I was going to be involved, my parents were kept updated and there was a plan.
“The evening before I made my debut, Mr Venables rang my dad and said make sure I don’t go out and go to sleep early because I was going to play on Saturday. He was a fantastic man and when I had problems he would invite me to his office and make me a cup of tea.
“We lost 6-2 at Liverpool towards the end of that season but I wasn’t involved in the game and he took me to the centre circle and said: ‘It’s good here, isn’t it?’ He told me to see him on Monday for a new long-term contract. By that morning, he was sacked.”
