So what happened? One word: competition. While the company was busy refining its HERO series for pros – adding pro-grade features like HLG and timecode support to its flagship GoPro HERO 13 Black – rivals like Insta360 and DJI were quietly capturing a whole new audience."

GoPro, the brand that made action cameras cool, is struggling to stay in the frame

Can the company reinvent itself for a world that doesn’t necessarily need action cameras?

GoPro’s founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman, recently made headlines after waiving his $850,000 annual salary in a bid to help the company save money. It’s a symbolic move, sure, but one that underscores a much larger issue.

If you’ve been wondering why GoPro cameras feel a little less relevant these days, you're not alone – and the story behind the company’s current situation is more complicated than just "smartphones got better."

Hyundai goes after Renault 5 Turbo with wild Insteroid concept

Electric cars are boring? Not on Hyundai’s watch, they aren’t

T3 @t3.com · Apr 8

A million miles from its humble city car origin story, the Insteroid is a pumped-up rally racer with humongous box-style wheel arches, a chiseled front splitter and a massive rear wing stuck to the roof. (3/4)

What has caused a little more lasting dismay is that Nintendo more quietly announced some quite big changes to actual game pricing. Principally, Mario Kart World itself won't come cheap – it's going to cost $80 in the US, and £75 for a physical copy in the UK." (5/5)

(Words by Max Freeman-Mills)

Did Nintendo just give Rockstar permission to make GTA 6 cost $100?

Nintendo's pricing is a challenge

www.t3.com

T3 @t3.com · Apr 7

That price is chunkier than many people were hoping for, but given it came a matter of hours before the Trump administration slapped global tariffs on almost every trade partner for the US, perhaps it isn't a huge surprise. (4/5)
