## Boeing CEO testifies at US Senate

Authored by cnn.com

A Boeing 737 MAX 8 is pictured outside the factory on March 11, 2019 in Renton, Washington.

Despite the attention Tuesday’s hearing about Boeing’s safety problems will garner, it’s not clear whether it will produce significant change at the company, said Richard Aboulafia, managing partner for AeroDynamic Consultancy, an aerospace advisory firm.

“Nothing has produced change (at Boeing) except frustration from a bunch of airline customers,” Aboulafia said.

Aboulafia said the board has shown little indication of seeing a need to change the way things are done at Boeing, calling it a “board on autopilot.”

The board approved a $32.8 million pay package for Calhoun in 2023, a 45% increase from the $22.6 million he received for 2022.

“We try to select people who know a lot about airplanes,” he said.

But Senator Richard Blumenthal, the chairman of the subcommittee, argued that Boeing needed to turn to outsiders to make a true change in the culture at the company. »

After nearly 40 years of Zelda adventures, the Japanese game-maker announced today that the next release in the popular series will feature the titular Princess Zelda in the lead, playable role.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Switch, Sept 26), revealed during a Nintendo Direct showcase, is a largely top-down adventure, with some side-scrolling mixed in—a throwback to the earliest Zelda games.

While Zelda has been playable in spin-off games such as Hyrule Warriors, this is the first mainline game she’ll star in. »

### Todd Howard responds to controversy over Starfield's $7 mission: 'We hear the feedback'

Unhappy players immediately recalled Bethesda's disastrous attempt to launch paid mods for Skyrim in 2015, and of course the infamous Oblivion Horse Armor DLC from 2006.

"We hear the feedback," Howard responded when asked whether Bethesda will change how it releases content like The Vulture in the future.

While there's obviously some real unhappiness with the way Bethesda has handled The Vulture, I'm not sure I'd expect any big changes anytime soon. »
