Microsoft Pauses Delayed Partner Ecosystem Security Update To Count Its Money
The company therefore created granular delegated admin privileges (GDAP). As the name implies, GDAP limits the resources and permissions partners enjoy when driving their customers’ systems. It also adds zero-trust principles to further reduce the likelihood that an attack on a partner will mean pain for end customers. Partners and Microsoft customers alike were told they would need to stop using DAPs and instead move to GDAPs. So far, so sensible. But also a little controversial, because partners can create GDAP profiles in customers’ Active Directory implementations — customers don’t need to give permission for the creation of GDAP profiles, but do need to sign them off. The move from DAP to GDAP has been slow. Microsoft set October 31, 2022, as the date on which it would discontinue the software that automates DAP to GDAP migrations, then moved that date to March 1, 2023. Those delays came after Redmondt’s initial ambition was for DAP to die by the end of 2022.

CSGO player count record broken yet again as Valve FPS dominates Steam
The CSGO player count seems to know no bounds. Despite being released more than a decade ago, the landmark Valve FPS game previously set a new record for concurrent Steam users on February 11. It seemed unbeatable, but if ten years of CSGO battles have taught us anything, it’s that nothing is impossible – you might be up against five people, with the bomb already ticking down, but you can still grab a victory out of the fire. Likewise, CSGO players have once again beaten their own record, with the multiplayer shooter also remaining atop the Steam chart for current users.

MultiVersus’ player count isn’t doing so hot, with fans unhappy at infrequent updates
MultiVersus, the Warner Bros. IP-laden Smash-like game doesn’t seem to be doing so hot, as its player count is averaging in the four figures.
As spotted by Polygon, if you head to MultiVersus’ SteamDB, which tracks things like how many players are in-game right now, as well as player peaks. Only problem for MultiVersus, is that it hasn’t had a player count higher than the four figures since the middle of September. At the time of writing, the game’s 24-hour peak is currently sitting at a surprisingly low 1,223 players, a far cry from the 100,000 it had when the open beta launched.
Important to note is that SteamDB only tracks the PC version of the game, as it uses data pulled from Steam, something it can’t do for the console platforms MultiVersus is also on, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Whether MultiVersus has that much of a higher player count on console than it does on PC is impossible to know, but overall the picture looks a little grim.
Apex Legend just hit a new all-time high player count thanks to Team Deathmatch
Apex Legends has just hit a new all-time-high for concurrent players, beating its previous record by 100,000 players.
As spotted by Kotaku, Apex Legends seems to be doing very well for itself. That’s because, as recorded by SteamDB, the battle royale has reached a massive new peak of players all active in the game simultaneously, currently sitting at a peak of 624,473 players (it was 610,433 at the time of Kotaku’s report, so obviously it went even higher than first spotted). That’s an increase of more than 100,000, as the game’s previous record was roughly 510,000, which the game hit last August.
A big part of the reasoning behind the player count soaring so high is the recent introduction of the game’s 16th season, Revelry. In particular, players seem to be very happy about the addition of a new mode that many have wanted for a long time: Team Deathmatch. A classic mode that brings players back into the fray constantly, team deathmatch replaced the slightly contentious Arenas mode.
