一 | New York, Oct 12 (UNI) Tesla founder Elon Musk has denied reports he spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin before posting a Twitter poll with his suggestions for ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine taht caused a lot of controversy.
Ian Bremmer, head of the Eurasia Group political risk consultancy, alleged that Musk had personally told him about the conversation with Putin. But Musk has now refuted this, the BBC reported.
In a newsletter, Bremmer wrote that Musk told him the Russian president was "prepared to negotiate", but only if Crimea remained under Russian control, if Ukraine accepted a form of permanent neutrality, and if Kyiv recognised Russia's annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
Musk tweeted: "I have spoken to Putin only once and that was about 18 months ago. The subject matter was space."
Last week, the Tesla CEO asked his 107.7 million followers to vote on ways to resolve the Ukraine war.
The suggestions included a proposal to hold votes in parts of Ukraine occupied by Russia that the Kremlin says it has annexed. His comments were welcomed by Moscow, the BBC said.
The multi-billionaire said: "Russia leaves if that is will of the people."
Putin has already declared four Ukrainian regions to be part of Russia, following so-called referendums denounced as fraudulent by Kyiv and its Western allies. Russia does not fully control any of the four regions.
Musk also suggested the world should "formally" recognise Crimea -- illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014 -- as part of Russia.
Bremmer said the SpaceX boss told him that Putin said the goals would be accomplished "no matter what" and that there was the potential of a nuclear strike if Ukraine invaded Crimea.
But Musk has since denied the reports.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said people proposing Ukraine give up on its people and land "must stop using word 'peace' as an euphemism to 'let Russians murder and rape thousands more innocent Ukrainians, and grab more land'".
Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov called Musk's tweet "moral idiocy, repetition of Kremlin propaganda, a betrayal of Ukrainian courage & sacrifice".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed Musk's suggestions, stating: "It is very positive that somebody like Elon Musk is looking for a peaceful way out of this situation."
Early in the war, the billionaire gained widespread popularity in Ukraine after sending a number of his Starlink internet terminals to the country. He was subsequently invited to visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
But his recent tweets have seen that relationship sour, with Zelensky last week hitting out at his Twitter poll.
UNI ING。 拳头游戏于8月20日正式宣布，旗下英雄联盟IP衍生格斗游戏《2XKO》将于2026年底停止开发，终止后续内容更新。官方坦言，游戏自今年1月全平台上线的玩家留存表现不佳，用户规模不足以支撑长期持续的开发运营。根据官方公告，今年剩余时间内开发团队仍会推进内容更新与功能优化，包括推出拉克丝、莎弥拉两名新英雄，最终Bug修复补丁将于12月上线。停止开发后，游戏在线服务器将继续保留运营，全平台玩家仍可正常进行联机对战，离线游玩模式完全不受影响。
针对已付费玩家，拳头同步公布了全额退款方案：8月20日及之前所有在游戏内产生的消费均可全额退款；即日起游戏内全部角色免费解锁，大部分外观道具将进行整合，玩家已拥有的内容可永久保留。9月上线的1.3.1版本中，头像、个人资料等道具将支持通过游戏内积分解锁。从2026年1月全平台上线到宣布停止开发，这款游戏的运营时间尚不足一年。《2XKO》由此成为Riot史上最短命的自研游戏。
《2XKO》的停更，让不少玩家再次把目光投向了拳头手中另一个命运未卜的项目——《英雄联盟》MMO。这款基于《英雄联盟》世界观开发的MMORPG，自2020年12月被首次证实以来，至今仍未揭开真实面貌。
二 | 2024年初，拳头宣布对MMO项目进行“重置”，推翻了此前已开发的内容。联合创始人Marc Merrill当时表示，之所以推倒重来，是因为此前的方向“与现有产品差异化不足”，如果无法创造真正独特的体验，项目就没有存在的意义。重置之后，项目进入了长达数年的静默期。近一年多来，拳头持续从《魔兽世界》团队引入核心人才：2026年1月，前《魔兽世界》首席制作人雷蒙德·巴尔托斯加入；2026年6月，前《魔兽世界》首席战斗设计师布莱恩·霍林卡也确认加盟。开发团队正全力推进，目标是在2030年前实现上线。
然而考虑到2024年才重置方向、目前仍处于研发阶段，且拳头官方此前已确认该项目“还需要数年时间”才能完成，2030年这个目标能否兑现仍有相当大的不确定性。联合创始人Merrill在2025年初曾调侃过一句发售窗口：“希望在我们去火星之前”。
格斗游戏折戟之后，MMO的成败对拳头来说只会更加关键。但这款LOL世界观下的MMO能否在2030年前端出来，恐怕连拳头自己心里都没底。
