Overwatch 2 had a spectacularly bumpy release. During that time, the game’s servers were targeted by DDoS attacks, struggled to migrate Overwatch 1 data and were hampered by long queues, amongst other issues and criticisms. Players were also unhappy with Blizzard’s implementation of the first-time user experience and the need for a valid mobile number in order to create a game account. Blizzard has since addressed most of these issues, and the studio even issued a subsequent apology, offering compensation in the form of free cosmetic items....

Now, the latest installment in the racing sim series is set to take place in Mexico. We’ve known about Forza Horizon 5’s setting for a while. However, we didn’t really have an idea of just how large the map is - until now.

Hacked or modded versions of games aren’t something entirely new to the space. For older games like the Pokemon titles on GameBoy Advanced, mods were necessary for things as simple as increasing or decreasing the difficulty or adding certain content to the game that would now just be considered DLC.

Elon Musk has tried everything to turn around Twitter after buying it. Despite coming in to iron out some issues like non-dismissable login popups and inaccurate search features that would require familiarity with the code, George Hotz never planned on staying with Twitter for the long haul. A short stay in San Francisco where the company is headquartered and the publicity that comes with ”fixing” Twitter is all he wanted....

GameStop sent out a promotional email to everyone on their mailing list earlier today, saying that the various models of current generation consoles from both Sony and Microsoft will be restocked on their website, opening an undoubtedly brief window in which they can be purchased. It is not clear how long stocks will last, but since the consoles can be ordered online, you have to be quick on the draw - scalpers are known to buy up stock in bulk with the intention of flipping the machines for a profit, and unfortunately GameStop (and other sites) haven’t implemented any meaningful protection against bot purchases....

According to Wrestling News, the WWE is still trying to finalize its plans with The Rock for WrestleMania 39. The goal is to have The Rock locked in before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view next month.

Just a day after going public for the first time since 2004, the Roblox Corporation, makers of the online game platform and game creation system Roblox, ended the day trading at just a little under $70 a share, which gave it a market valuation of $45 billion. To put that into context, Minecraft, which is pretty similar to Roblox, was sold to Microsoft for $2.5 billion back in 2014. Granted, it’s been 7 years since that sale....

This is the question that’s been on everybody’s mind ever since it was confirmed that Daniel Craig is stepping down from the iconic role that he’s played for over a decade following the premiere of No Time to Die. People have suggested pretty much everyone who’s done an action film at this point, but the more recent potential candidates include Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Tom Holland. However, it appears that Johnson’s Red Notice co-star, Ryan Reynolds, is also in the running....

In its latest argument against the approval of Microsoft’s attempt to acquire, Sony’s lawyers submitted a 20-page document to the UK government where it effectively put Electronic Arts and Battlefield under the bus.

Whereas the Battlefield franchise has sold 88.7 million copies as of August 2021, Call of Duty has enjoyed sales north of 400 million....

According to Zelnick, play-to-earn games have a future. In an IGN interview, Zelnick described the current slate of play-to-earn games as “not highly entertaining and they’re not regulated nor are their economics transparent.” He says that he’s not surprised by how the public has reacted to play-to-earn games, saying that “there’s a lot to be done with [play-to-earn games] that’s exciting.” Meanwhile, when it comes to NFTs, Zelnick had similar thoughts....
