A four-day Steam freebie turned into $250,000 for an indie game
The takeaway: A recent free-game promotion on Steam is drawing attention to how giving away a title can still generate substantial revenue when there is a clear path to selling additional content. A four-day free giveaway of Graveyard Keeper, a title published by tinyBuild, generated roughly $250,000 in revenue, according to CEO Alex Nichiporchik. Most of that money came afterward, as new players who claimed the free copy went on to purchase downloadable content for the game.

AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights
Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market
Bottom line: Demand for AI infrastructure has been reshaping how investors value chipmakers, and recent results from key suppliers have strengthened the view that compute-intensive workloads will continue to grow. The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.
