As the title says. Broadcom has retired the basic VMware Player editions and made Workstation (or Fusion, if you're a Mac person) free for personal use.
It's the best hypervisor software around and the only one you can actually run some games on, its GPU emulation is far ahead when compared to the other hypervisors (with full DirectX 11 support). This is excellent news for anyone who wants to keep a fully functional earlier version of Windows like Vista or 7 handy. It seems that this news piece flew under the radar with all the hubbub of Computex, apparently this change happened a couple of weeks ago, and I only came to learn of this today chatting on Discord with someone, TPU didn't have a news article/press release about it.
Direct download link if you don't want to deal with Broadcom's messy website: https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/17.5.2/23775571/
