Medieval RPG "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is on course to becoming 2018's first gaming blockbuster. The game sold over a million copies in its first week since launch, with the PC platform amounting to 45 percent of the sales, through Steam. The sales data was compiled by SteamSpy, accounting the first week of sales since the game's February 13 release across Windows (PC), Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 platforms. Czech developer Warhorse Studios debuted with the game, which is published by Deep Silver.

In related news, the game already received its first major patch, version 1.2.5, which fixes controller issues on the console platforms, such as an unresponsive R2 button; bugs in quests with Hans Capon; and bugs in the "Ginger in a Pickle" quest. "We're about one million when I count all the platforms and distribution channels. We certainly thought about one million. The number is surprisingly positive, but it's not something we thought we could not achieve," said Martin Frývaldský, CEO of Warhorse Studios.

Well-known movie rentals brand Blockbuster has made an offer of more than $1 billion to buy Circuit City, the USA's second largest consumer electronics chain. According to Blockbuster's chief executive James Keyes, the merger would create a chain that could sell portable devices and entertainment for them, similar to Apple's stores. However, Circuit City has revealed that it has suspicions about how Blockbuster intends to finance its offer, so has advised shareholders to take no action until the board has reviewed the bid. Blockbuster's is offering $6 to $8 per share for the struggling company, provided that it is allowed to examine Circuit City's financial books and outlook. This represents a total bid of $1.01bn to $1.35bn, and a premium of 25% to 67% over the share price on February 15th, the day before the initial offer was made. Circuit City shares rose $1.38 today following this news, up from $5.28, although Blockbuster shares fell 10.5%.
