一 | Europhile Conservative MPs have poor prospects in the race already underway to replace Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to a British academic.,With BoJo making a slow-motion exit from Downing Street, ministers and backbenchers alike are throwing their hats into the ring for the dual role of party leader and PM.,Johnson announced his resignation as Tory leader on Thursday — pre-empting mooted moves to cut the 'grace period' following an unsuccessful no-confidence vote, which he narrowly survived in June. The famous 'BoJo mojo' was finally overcome by the scandal over Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher drunkenly groping two men at an exclusive private member's club.,Each candidate to replace BoJo needs the nomination of at least eight fellow Tory MPs. Hot tips so far include Johnson loyalists Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, along with Junior Trade Policy Minister Penny Mordaunt — who surprised some by not joining the wave of protest resignations from government — and Rishi Sunak, who led the revolt by quitting as chancellor.,Alistair Jones, associate professor of politics at Leicester's De Montfort University, told Sputnik that the leadership contest to replace the "figurehead" Johnson was still up in the air.,"The situation is going to be very interesting in British politics as we will look to see how many Conservative MPs want to stand to become the party leader and ultimately Prime Minister," he says.,“Now, within the Cabinet, we will see the likes of Liz Truss, [and Home Secretary] Priti Patel putting their names forward, also most likely [Deputy PM] Dominic Raab. Outside of the Cabinet, former minister Michael Gove will also probably put his name forward and then there'll be some other outsiders who are not in the government, such as Penny Mordaunt and Steve Baker.”,But strident remainer and anti-Russia war hawk Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, was fastest out of the traps with five nominations under his belt already.,Professor Jones says that Mordaunt and Steve Baker, who is the deputy chairman of the anti-lockdown COVID Recovery Group and former chairman of the pro-Brexit European Research Group, are the ones to watch.,"Both of them are ardent Brexiteers and it is likely to be an ardent Brexiteer that is going to be elected as leader of the Conservative Party," he points out.,Steve Baker sets out why he would make a good Prime Minister, saying he is very popular with Conservative Home members and he's been told he's popular with the public.Piers challenges him that he might have to "acknowledge reality".@piersmorgan | #PiersMorganUncensored pic.twitter.com/e9qWS1Ae2k— Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) July 7, 2022,The Eurosceptic underdogs may overtake heavyweights like Jeremy Hunt, the former foreign secretary who was runner-up to Johnson in the 2019 leadership contest to replace Theresa May.,"Jeremy Hunt, someone that people would like to see possibly elected as party leader as a safe pair of hands because he wasn't a Brexiteer, is not likely to go far," Jones says. "So the question will be how much infighting there is going to be within the Conservative Party until they get a leader elected, and then the extent to which that leader is able to unify the party.",BoJo’s Resignation: How Will Johnson’s Successor Be Picked?11:03 GMT,The academic stresses that leadership contests are always extremely polarizing. "You either support candidate number one or candidate number two when you get to the last two and quite often the two do not see eye to eye," he says.,"There could be an awful hangover for the Conservative Party after this leadership election," Jones warns. "The question will be the extent to which Boris Johnson's legacy is a divided party, and that stays with the party until the next general election" — which might not be until January 2025.。 
在今年游戏行业最令人心碎的消息之一中，拳头游戏（Riot Games）旗下的 聚点危机：英雄联盟外传 主题格斗游戏 2XKO 将于 12 月正式停止活跃开发。尽管早有预兆，但官方消息依然像重锤一样击中了格斗游戏社区（FGC）。2XKO 团队在 8 月 20 日的博客文章中解释了这一情况，承认目前的活跃玩家数量不足以支撑持续运营。
二 | “在过去的几个月里，我们一直在密切关注 2XKO 的发展轨迹，我们看到的情况非常明确且一致：虽然有许多玩家尝试了这款游戏，并且有一个令人惊叹的社区每天都在游玩，但我们没有看到足够的玩家留存，以实现可持续发展的道路，”文中写道。拳头游戏官方表示：活跃开发将于 12 月结束。
三 | 最后的內容补丁将于 10 月上线。服务器将保持在线。8 月 20 日之前的游戏内购买将予以退款。目前，2XKO 在 2026 年之后仍将保持在线，离线模式不受影响。团队将在今年余下的时间里继续推出新内容，包括功能改进、两位新英雄拉克丝（Lux）和莎弥拉（Samira），以及 12 月的最终错误修复补丁。尚不清楚未来是否会保持这一状态，因为拳头博客的措辞似乎表明在线游玩的地位可能会发生变化。“如果情况有变，我们会提前通知，”文中写道。团队随后预览了游戏的后续计划：在接下来的几个月中，拳头将禁用 KO点数购买，退还 8 月 20 日之前的所有消费，增加一个售价 39.99 美元的礼包（包含几乎所有 2XKO 饰品内容），并将大多数道具改为可用信誉点（Credits）兑换。拳头还将解锁大部分游戏内容，包括所有英雄。此外，还将移除战斗通行证、KO点数、英雄代币、赛季和活动等系统，并禁用排位大厅，以简化休闲大厅体验。
四 | “排位大厅将被禁用，以确保我们可以在每个服务器的单一玩家池中进行匹配，”文中解释道。“休闲大厅仍将根据水平进行匹配，因此你仍会遇到水平相当的玩家。
五 | ”私人大厅将不受这些更改的影响。值得注意的是，2XKO 竞技系列赛将持续到 2026 年底，但之后将永久取消。在此期间，拳头将继续支持玩家和赛事组织者，包括为所有大型赛和挑战赛提供奖金。最后的竞技系列赛活动仍将于 11 月举行。
六 | 从 2027 年起，赛事组织者可以根据社区竞赛指南继续举办该游戏的线下和线上赛事。
七 | 团队进一步解释了停止支持的原因，称“硬核换人制格斗游戏玩家热爱 2XKO，但大多数其他格斗游戏玩家难以找到留下的理由。
八 | ……我们没有看到 2XKO 的发展轨迹发生任何有意义的、持续的改变；这远未达到可持续发展所需的水平。
九 | 随着时间的推移，我们很清楚，按照目前的模式继续活跃开发这款游戏是不可能的。”尽管团队考虑了所有可用选项——包括裁员（今年 2 月已经发生过）、调整补丁计划以及改变商业模式——但他们发现“完成剩余的开发中内容并逐步停止活跃开发，是对玩家和拳头员工而言最好的路径”。毋庸置疑，FGC 的反应并不积极。全球最大的格斗游戏赛事 Evo 也对此做出了回应：“这不是我们今天想听到的消息。向为这款游戏付出巨大努力的团队致以慰问。”“我为 2XKO 团队感到难过，也为我自己和所有热爱这款游戏的人感到悲哀，”一位玩家在 X 上写道。“拳头应该感到羞愧，他们对待那些没有达到 hololive 宝藏山 级别数据的新开发游戏的方式简直是始乱终弃。”“拳头真的需要停止砍掉所有不如 hololive 宝藏山 成功的项目。你们永远不可能再达到那种成功高度了。砍掉所有（和每个人）达不到那个门槛的项目是不切实际的，”另一位玩家表示。正如之前提到的，2XKO 的结局早有预兆。在拳头于今年 2 月解雇数十名游戏开发团队成员后，玩家们就担心发生了最坏的情况，忧虑这一举动预示着游戏的最终死亡。不幸的是，他们似乎是对的，尽管目前服务器仍保持在线，这算是一丝微弱的安慰。
