It is no secret that Hollywood actors receive fees of several million dollars. For instance, the Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp received 68 million dollars from Disney for just 7 minutes of screentime.
Through his eccentric roles as Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Johnny Depp became a sought-after Hollywood star, for whose fee some film studios were willing to dig deep into their pockets.
In the past, Johnny Depp received an eight-figure fee from Disney for just a few minutes of screentime.
Here you can see a German trailer for Alice in Wonderland:

According to The Telegraph, Johnny Depp was reportedly paid a whopping 68 million US dollars for his role in the 2010 Disney film Alice in Wonderland.
In the adventure and fantasy film directed by Tim Burton, he played the Mad Hatter. While this is a well-known character from the famous literary classic by Lewis Carroll, he is not seen too often in the Disney film.
Johnny Depp only has seven minutes of screentime in his role. Thus, he earned 9.7 million dollars for every minute he is seen in Alice in Wonderland.
The Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller (27) has been on a “snow trip” in Switzerland with colleagues like Rumathra and Renzmann in recent days. After surviving the wilderness of Canada in 7 vs. Wild, he is now worrying his fans. In a clip, it looks like he is falling into a frozen lake: In reality, he just fell “on” the lake. It still looked dangerous.
What is Papaplatte up to?
The Berlin streamer is currently, together with EliasN97, the leading German Twitch streamer. He is clearly the winner of the last 90 days, currently sitting at number 1. Thanks to him, a viewer of a TV show became a millionaire in November.
Recently, Papaplatte has mainly been doing events and actions with other streamers. He broadcasts the events in IRL streams. After his time at 7 vs. Wild, he was recently on a snow trip with his “7 vs. Wild” colleagues Renzmann and Rumathra.
However, there was an incident that is also making headlines internationally (via sportskeeda).
Papaplatte is often referred to as the German xQC:

Clip of Papaplatte scares viewers, goes viral
This clip is concerning people: The Twitch clip is from Saturday, January 27: Papaplatte is riding a bicycle close to a frozen lake. You can see the lake from Papaplatte’s first-person perspective.
He even says, completely without Anglicisms: “Take it slow. Look, Wieland fell in here. You can’t walk on that. Okay, slow, slow, slow. My back wheel?”
Then the 27-year-old loses control of his bike and falls out of the frame to the right, screaming in horror.
In the clip, it looks like he fell into the lake, maybe breaking through the ice and now underwater. The fact that a recorded clip with the message Connection briefly lost is played makes the situation look even more dramatic.
The clip has 105,000 views and could indeed disturb some viewers.

How does it look from another perspective? The streamer Rumathra, who is referred to as “Wieland” in the clip, also films the scene. You can see him nudging Papaplatte to free his back wheel.
From this perspective, there is reassurance: The ice layer of the lake, which supposedly cannot be walked on, held, and the fall was probably quite mild.

Season 3 has nerfed many builds in Diablo 4 and buffed others. The two strongest builds in the game currently are the Meteor Sorceress and the Charge Barbarian. Both builds are top-tier for their class. However, they do not work well together – at least not for Sorceresses.
This is why they don’t work well together: The playstyle of the Charge build negates many others – like the Meteor Sorceress, for example. Meteor Sorceresses rely on enemies moving as little as possible. Once they summon a meteor, it only hits a few moments later.
Charge Barbarians push enemies around with their ability. Even bosses. Whatever they charge at does not stay in place, unless it is unstoppable.
Especially frustrating for Sorceresses because: At the best farming spots in Season 3, there are usually many players together. Meteor Sorceresses then have no chance to participate properly.
Start video
Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3
“Barbarian is the new meta”
The problem between the two classes has been frequently mentioned on Reddit and has also been noticed by us. It goes something like this: “I hate every single Charge Barbarian. Every time I place meteors, the Barbarian has already pushed the mobs three screens away before they fall.”
This situation apparently does not only affect Sorceresses and Barbarians, but even Barbarians against other Barbarians. If other Barbarians are faster with Charge, then one has no chance to hit the enemies at all.
I personally mainly play Sorceresses in Diablo 4 and initially tried a Meteor build. On one hand due to the poor damage against bosses, on the other hand, because of Barbarians, I switched to a Spark build instead.
Some other classes are also speaking up. Storm Druids, possibly the strongest build in Season 3, have only limited issues, but that’s only because they can hit enemies even outside of the screen. However, some Druids feel obligated to play a different build.
Necromancers seem to be the only ones not complaining. This is mainly because they can pull enemies back to their place with Corpse Tendrils, which in turn is likely to annoy the Barbarians.
Season 3 is already jokingly referred to as the season of Barbarians, just like Season 2 before it. The class is considered the best in the game and in the tier list is ranked with the most builds in S-tier. Experts like Raxxanterax say: Where in Season 2 everyone was running around as Spark Sorceress, today everyone is playing as Charge Barbarian.
The build seems to be strong enough to become the best in Season 2. Whether this will prove true remains to be seen – no one has the absolute best gear and can play any build to perfection yet. In Season 3, however, it only helps you to a limited extent: You don’t get particularly good loot just by playing an OP build.

In Pokémon GO, helpful new features are apparently being introduced. First trainers report testing.
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? It seems several new features are coming to Pokémon GO. Just recently, new graphic updates for the catch screens were announced, which some players can already test.
But apparently, that’s not all: Three new features seem to have been unlocked for some trainers over the weekend, showing how this could look. We summarize them here for you.
What you need to note: Just like the graphic features, the new functions have apparently not yet been unlocked for everyone. When they will be available to all players is currently unknown.
Feature 1: The “Ready” Button for Solo Raids
What is this feature? The “Ready” button was already introduced in summer 2023. It allows trainer groups to shorten the preparation timer in the raid lobby to 10 seconds. Even back then, this was a long-desired feature, as waiting for the long raid timer only to finish the raid itself in seconds annoyed some.
However, there was a restriction: You had to be at least two people to use the “Ready” button. Solo players, on the other hand, did not receive this feature and still had to wait the full 120 seconds. This was also not very useful for simple raids, which is why many players continued to hope for a change.
Now it seems it is finally coming for solo players as well. The button can apparently be activated after 30 seconds of waiting time, as user “Merlion4ek” shows in the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” for Pokémon GO:

What is this feature? This is also likely to be practical for raids: Some trainers show that their attack effectiveness against the respective raid boss is now displayed when they select the Pokémon they want to use.
This means: You can check much faster and more conveniently which of your attackers in Pokémon GO are truly worthwhile against the raid boss. User “Fillain” shows this on reddit:

What is this feature? If you currently use potions or revives in Pokémon GO, you have to tap each Pokémon individually to restore its hit points. Especially after an extensive raid, this can be a significant number of Pokémon.
Here, too, a shortcut seems to be on the way: As user “cpgxrcia” shows on reddit, a “Heal All” button will also be introduced, allowing you to heal all affected Pokémon at once.

Other users also report of another corresponding button when using revives, allowing you to bring back all defeated Pokémon at once. You will still need the corresponding number of healing items for that.

Currently, however, the “Final Event” of January is still running: The big Rocket takeover, which brought Crypto Kyogre for Giovanni and new Pokémon for Rocket leaders Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff, as well as the Rocket grunts. Additionally, you can currently unlearn the useless move “Frustration”. This event will continue until early February.

The new Season 3 has brought the Vaults in Diablo 4, and different strategies are needed there than just particularly strong meta builds. For this, you can expect some really good loot at the end.
Why don’t Oneshot builds help here? In the Vaults, you will encounter many monster mobs, but no strong end boss. Additionally, you will find traps in many rooms, corners, and chests that you must dodge in order to actually collect the loot at the end.
In some other activities, it often revolves around defeating strong bosses. An expert defeated one of the toughest bosses in one hit, because he was wearing the right pants. However, a strong Oneshot build won’t help you in the Vaults, as this requires rather attention and preparation. Being able to defeat strong enemies particularly quickly won’t necessarily lead you to your goal here.

Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3
More protection stacks = more loot at the end of the Vault
How do I prepare? In the Vaults, you can exchange so-called protection pearls for protection stacks. You get the pearls from the “Herald of Malphas”, which you summon during the Arcane Tremors and for completing a Vault. When you exchange them, you receive protection stacks that you lose once you are hit by a trap.
This doesn’t sound so bad at first, however, at the end of the Vault, there are chests that you can only open if you have enough protection stacks left. You will also receive a chest for completing the trap room and one for completing the Vault, but the chests you get for the protection stacks contain better loot.
The following chests await you at World Tier 4 at the end:
“free” chest for completing the last trap room
“free” chest for completing the Vault
small chest for 1 protection stack
medium chest for 4 protection stacks from World Tier 3
large chest (far left in the image) for 10 protection stacks from World Tier 4
so you need a total of 15 protection stacks at the end of the Vault to open all chests
Regarding the loot, you will receive gold, equipment items, nightmare sigils, protection pearls, crafting materials, and stones for your Seneschal companion. In the screenshots, you can see examples from the “Vault of Ink” in the nightmare version (level 21):
This is the loot from the normal Vault chestFor comparison: the loot from all chests for 15 protection stacks at WT4
Better to accept a death than lose protection
How do the Vaults work? At the beginning, you run through a small dungeon area where you only encounter enemies, but no traps yet. At the end, you enter the Vault through a portal. Once there, you will find a pillar where you can exchange your pearls. Since Patch 1.3.0a, you receive 10 protection stacks per pearl.
In the Vault, you will encounter many traps. If you are after a lot of loot: it’s better to accept a death than to get hit by the traps too often – especially when you encounter the Butcher, who tries to push you into the traps. This can quickly lead to a lack of protection for the large chests. This only applies if you are not playing Hardcore, of course.
In some Vaults, you need to collect an item to open doors. If you have fought your way through the Vault, you will finally enter a large room full of traps. An event will be triggered there where mobs will continuously spawn. You need to eliminate these while also paying attention to the traps. Upon completion of the event, a chest will spawn in the room.
After that, the run is complete and depending on how many protection stacks you have left, you can open either just one or several chests in the adjacent room. Note that the stacks expire once you leave the Vault. So teleport to the city first, around to empty your inventory, once the chests are opened.
Behind some chests in Vaults, you may find a small fortune, while behind others a nasty surprise:
How do I get to the Vault? You can simply enter the Vaults through the archway or the map when you go to the entrance. However, it is more rewarding if you turn them into Nightmare Vaults, as this allows you to level your glyphs.
For this, you need sigils, which you craft beforehand with sigil powder, shattered stone, and gold, find in Vaults, or receive from the Whispering Tree. Then you can teleport directly there, as you would normally do with the Nightmare Dungeons.
The Vaults could thus particularly appeal to players who want to try out different builds without focusing on the meta. Also, for those who are looking for a change from the regular (Nightmare) dungeons, the Vaults could be an option.
Currently, Pocketpair is celebrating tremendous success with the survival hit. However, their next game is set to be released soon on Steam, which is this time inspired by a major indie star. Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse looks reminiscent of Hollow Knight at first glance, but has a few different twists, including coop.
What is Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse?
Never Grave is a Metroidvania mixed with roguelite elements
The animated 2D look is very similar to Hollow Knight
You can take over enemies with your hat and use their abilities
You don’t have to do this alone, the game is set to support coop for up to 4 players
Besides the runs, there’s also base building, which prepares you for future runs
When watching the trailer, you can see many similarities to Hollow Knight, but thanks to the small mechanics and elements, the game still has a lot of its own.

Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse – Trailer for the 2D Adventure by the Creators of Palworld
A coop Metroidvania sounds like a great time.
At first glance, the game looks like Hollow Knight. However, it aims to stand out through several mechanics. Never Grave is a Metroidvania with roguelite mechanics. In various runs, you explore a newly generated world every time, instead of exploring a fixed map. This in turn reminds of Dead Cells.
In addition to this feature, base building is also important. Within the base, you can build various structures and utilize resources that strengthen you for the next run. You can take over enemies by putting your hat on them – like in Super Mario Odyssey. Compared to other Metroidvanias, these are interesting mechanics.
The biggest difference to the giants of the genre is probably the local coop, which also receives much praise under the YouTube trailer.
@clutsetathecommenter2625: Normally I wouldn’t like this type of games, but then the coop mode and the takeover of monsters were shown and now I have to try it.
@Hangishta: A coop Metroidvania sounds like a great time.
@KK-vx7st: I swear, the first clips looked like a bad Hollow Knight copy, but all the extra mechanics seem really fun
According to the Steam page, the game is set to be released in the first quarter of this year. However, if you’re already eager to try out the game, you can access the Steam demo. What do you think of the game? Has it piqued your interest or are you generally not fond of the genre? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

In this overview, we show you which Spotlight Hours await you in Pokémon GO in January 2024. We list all important information about the Pokémon, the dates, and the bonuses.
What kind of events are these? Every Tuesday, there is a so-called Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. During this hour, a specific Pokémon is highlighted and appears very frequently in the wild.
Additionally, there is always a bonus that is active during the Spotlight Hours. We have listed here which bonus is active with which Pokémon and when.
All Spotlight Hours in January 2024
When do the Spotlight Hours take place? The Spotlight Hours are active every Tuesday from 18:00 to 19:00. Here are the Spotlight Hours in January 2024:
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On January 2, the Spotlight Hour will focus on Formeo. It is a Normal-type Pokémon from Generation 3 that has no evolutions. However, it can take on different forms, each belonging to a different type.
What bonuses are active? In this Spotlight Hour, the 2x Catch XP bonus will be active. This means you will be rewarded with double experience points for catching Pokémon. This bonus is active not only for catching Formeo but for all Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? Unfortunately, Formeo does not play a significant role in raids or the battle league. However, if you are actively leveling up, the experience bonus could be interesting for you.
Can you catch Shiny Formeo? Yes, Formeo will also be available in its Shiny form during the Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour on January 9
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On January 9, you will encounter Evoli during the Spotlight Hour. This Normal-type Pokémon is from Generation 1. The uniqueness of Evoli is its evolutions. It has 8 different evolution forms, each belonging to a different type. You can find out with which tricks you can evolve Evoli with us.
What bonuses are active? During Evoli’s Spotlight Hour, you will receive double candy for catching Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? Evoli’s evolutions still play a role in Pokémon GO. Nachtara is, for example, a solid Pokémon in the Super League, and Feelinara is a good Pokémon for your fairy attackers in raids.
Can you catch Shiny Evoli? Yes, you can also find Evoli in its Shiny form during the Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour on January 16
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On January 16, you will primarily find Trasla during the Spotlight Hour. This Pokémon is from Generation 3 and has the types Psychic and Fairy. It can evolve into Kirlia, which can further evolve into Guardevoir or Galagladi, depending on the gender of your Kirlia.
Guardevoir also has a Mega Evolution.
What bonuses are active? During Trasla’s Spotlight Hour, you will receive double candy for transferring Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? If you are looking for reinforcement for your raid teams of the types Psychic or Fairy, you should take advantage of this event. Guardevoir is a good attacker in the Psychic category and, in its Mega Evolution, a very good attacker. When played as a fairy attacker, Guardevoir is also among the best Pokémon. In its Mega Evolution, it even dominates the list of fairy attackers.
Can you catch Shiny Trasla? Yes, you can catch Shiny Trasla during the Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour on January 23
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? Schmerbe will be the focus of the Spotlight Hour on January 23. It has the types Water and Ground and can evolve into Welsar. Schmerbe has existed since Generation 3.
What bonuses are active? During this event, you will receive double experience points when you evolve Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? While Welsar does not play a role in raids, it is a very strong Pokémon in the Super League. If you still need Pokémon for this, you should not ignore this Spotlight Hour.
Can you catch Shiny Schmerbe? Yes, Schmerbe will be available in its Shiny variant during the Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour on January 30
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? Tarnpignon, the Grass Poison Pokémon from Generation 5, will appear more frequently during the Spotlight Hour on January 30. It can evolve into Hutsassa.
What bonuses are active? You will receive double Stardust for catching Pokémon when you are out and about during this Spotlight Hour.
Is the event worth it? Neither Tarnpignon nor its evolution Hutsassa plays a role in raids or the battle league. However, during this Spotlight Hour, the bonus might be interesting for you if you want to accumulate some Stardust.
Can you catch Shiny Tarnpignon? Yes, Shiny Tarnpignon will be available during the Spotlight Hour.
In the MMORPG New World (Steam), Amazon intentionally adjusts the loot and drop rates so that players are more likely to get the equipment they still need. This system is called “Loot Biasing” and is now introduced in a blog post.
How is New World doing on Steam?
At release in October 2021, New World had a huge impact on Steam with a peak of 913,000 players.
Afterwards, it went down for a long time until the MMORPG recovered in November 2022, reaching a peak of 137,000 players.
The highlight last year was in October 2023 with a peak of 77,642 players. Currently, the game is again in a quieter phase. We have presented you the plans for New World for 2024.
The last highlight of New World:

Amazon wants to reduce frustration moments in New World
What is Amazon doing with the loot? In a blog post, two designers present “Loot Biasing”: The system ensures that players receive items according to their current equipment. It pays attention to:
Attribute Properties
Item Type
The aim of the system is to reduce players’ negative feelings about loot. Someone who only uses an ice glove shouldn’t constantly find axes. It does not feel good when you are melee and then find items for wizards or vice versa:
“We found that our item system was great at giving people a ton of stuff but not so good at distributing the items that players really wanted.”
This is how it works in practice: In practice, the system removes certain items from the loot table if they do not correspond to what a player is wearing.
If a player is wearing a large axe and a warhammer, the loot list is weighted in that direction, so that more large axes and warhammers drop.
What’s the problem? Farming “Named Items” caused difficulties because there were only a few of them.
Due to the weighting in the loot, items that players wanted to farm would have disappeared from the list: This was something to avoid, so they completely excluded Named Items and artifacts from the system.
They also considered the following:
At low levels, players are allowed to find different types of weapons because it is assumed they may want to experiment with which weapons they use.
At high levels, it is assumed that players have found their favorite weapon and are given more of that type.
Despite all the difficulties, they believe that “Loot Biasing” has had a positive effect so far.
In the future, they would like players to be able to specify exactly which items they are looking for – regardless of which items they currently have equipped. However, they currently have no concrete plans to communicate regarding this.
The developer behind LoL, Riot Games, has announced that 530 employees worldwide will be laid off. They are also scrapping their plans for their own Twitch and discussing it. MeinMMO reveals what is behind it.
Riot Games, known for the popular MOBA League of Legends, recently experienced a setback. They announced on X that they must lay off 530 employees worldwide from Riot Games, which corresponds to 11% of the company. The reason given is that many new employees have been hired for new projects since 2019, but these projects have not generated the expected returns.
Among the hired projects was also a dedicated livestream platform that was meant to compete with Twitch.

Song of Nunu brings a fan favorite from League of Legends into the game
Riot Games planned its own Twitch, but is now scrapping it
What is the story behind the scrapped idea? The project, which was estimated to be in development for two years, was supposed to offer an alternative to Twitch. In 2021, Riot Games acquired the company Kanga, which specializes in creating new forms of interaction between e-sports teams and their fans.
The idea of having its own platform that would directly compete with Twitch was said to be an ambitious endeavor. Riot Games invested resources and time into the project, which was supposed to launch under the name Riot Esports Network (REN). How much money was spent on the project in total is unknown – but it is estimated to be a significant amount.
This platform was supposed to allow fans to watch professional players in games like LoL and Valorant. It was also planned to deeply integrate the platform with Riot Games’ games – for example, by offering rewards for players who actively watch live streams.
Reports about the failure came to light through research by the business site Bloomberg .
We tested some ideas for watch platforms, but decided last week to shut down our REN initiative, said the decision announced by John Needham, President of eSports at Riot Games. You can read more about his visions regarding the scrapped idea in the official Riot Games blog post.
Overall, the project was relatively unknown to the public, but was already in internal testing phases. After the announcement of layoffs at Riot Games, other projects of the company were also abandoned, such as Riot Forge, the publishing label for indie developer games – for example: Song of Nunu.
Superheroes for an older audience have become very popular in recent years. Gen V, The Boys, and Invincible are popular examples. On Netflix, there is an anime that goes in a similar direction and combines many entertaining heist elements.
What is Super Crooks about?
The series is based on the comic of the same name by Mark Millar, who has worked for DC and Marvel and also created masterpieces like Wolverine: Old Man Logan
In Super Crooks, it is about Johnny Bolt, a villain who pulls off smaller heists
His ability is the manipulation and creation of electricity
Now he wants to pull off a bigger heist with his great love Kasey and a crew of villains, but things don’t go according to plan
The series was released on Netflix in 2021 and has 13 episodes
The anime was created at Studio Bones, known for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Soul Eater, and My Hero Academia. The anime series mixes, similarly to Great Pretender and Cyberpunk Edgerunners, many elements of Japanese and American productions and styles.
Super Crooks – Trailer for the brutal anime with superheroes
The Boys meets Ocean’s Eleven
The world of Super Crooks resembles that of The Boys. A certain number of the population has superpowers. Among them are classic abilities such as strength or electricity, but also quirky and interesting ones like control of the weather or bad luck. The focus of Super Crooks is on the perspective of the villains, who try to make money with their abilities. For example, one criminal makes it rain to sell his umbrellas.
However, there aren’t many villains left in this world since there are countless superheroes in America who want to become famous. If villains want to succeed, they have to join a syndicate that assigns jobs and takes a large share as commission. Johnny Bolt doesn’t want that, and after unfortunate events, he and his team must pull off a big, but above all, self-organized heist.
These heists are the big highlight of the series. Like in movies such as Ocean’s Eleven, each member of Johnny’s team has a specific task that is necessary for the well-structured plan. As a viewer, you often wonder how the villains are going to escape a tight spot.
For this very reason, the heroes use their abilities in interesting situations very creatively, and it’s not just about brute force. However, the anime is not for the faint-hearted; there are brutal fights and the 16-rated logo is there for a reason.
The characters are as colorful as their abilities themselves, and especially Johnny and Kasey have an irresistible charm that makes each of the 13 episodes entertaining. The many heroes are, like in The Boys, the less likable characters who also have a lot of dirt on their hands. Unlike someone like Butcher, the leader of the Boys from the live-action series, Johnny always acts according to a moral code. This makes him very relatable for the audience.
The design of the characters and the story is influenced by American superhero ideas. The animation style and the fights offer entertainment at a high level, even by anime standards, and are well-choreographed. Watching it is truly enjoyable.
For fans of Invincible and The Boys, the series is recommended, even if you are not an anime fan. Classic tropes are avoided here. Due to the length of the series and episodes, you can binge-watch Super Crooks over a weekend.
Developer CIG has published interesting statistics about Star Citizen. The numbers reveal, among other things, which countries are the most represented in the space MMO. Based on the most popular spaceships, it becomes clear what the favorite activities of the players are.
Star Citizen and its Solo Campaign Squadron 42 have been in development for over 10 years and have already grossed over 661 million dollars during this period. However, the number of players has also continuously increased and currently stands at over 5 million (via robertsspaceindustries.com). Good reason for developer CIG to publish some numbers and statistics from the past gaming year 2023.
These values leave room for speculation about what the favorite activities within the Star Citizen community were in 2023 and how they are distributed across different player regions. One might suspect that German players contributed significantly to this result and fulfil a typical stereotype in the space MMO.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.22 Trailer
Numbers about Star Citizen that reveal much about our activities
What kind of statistics are these? At the end of 2023, Star Citizen developer CIG on X shared some statistics with the community. The community learns, for instance, from a total of 4 graphics, which countries most players come from.
Another statistic reveals the top 5 spaceships with particularly high play hours. This indirectly addresses a typical stereotype for which German players are often known: We play to “work.” Apparently, we often find our fun in the game by doing a job.
Where are the most players located? The strongest player region is the USA. In second place is Germany, followed by our French neighbors with the third most players. British citizens secure the 4th place over Canada at rank 5.
Top 5 Star Citizen Player Regions
Unfortunately, the statistics do not provide absolute numbers. But with currently over 5 million registered players, it is evident that many fans of Star Citizen live in Europe, and German players account for a large share of that.
Which activities are the most popular? In addition to the 5 largest player regions, the ranking of the most popular spaceships is also interesting. Due to the types of ships and their purpose, it can be easily seen which gaming activities were pursued the most in 2023.
In first place for the most flight hours with spaceships is the Drake Vulture. This ship is suitable for solo players who want to be space scrap collectors. It is used for the recovery of unmanned spacecraft.
The most popular ships in the Star Citizen universe
The gameplay loop of such salvage missions involves finding these abandoned ships and systematically recycling them for profit. This also likely explains the remarkable number of nearly 700,000 completed missions, which are also found in the statistics.
In third place among the most-played ships is the Misc Prospector, which is designed for mining. With it, raw materials and minerals can be mined in space and on planetary surfaces. Minerals can also be harvested with smaller ground vehicles or a tool attachment. However, large-scale mining is possible with the Misc Prospector.
CIG has recognized this as well and has been offering an expensive multiplayer ship for conceptual purchase for some time that will overshadow the two previous mining ships. Thus, the gameplay loop of mining becomes larger, and direct processing of the materials obtained before sale becomes possible. Great! Even more work, confirming our stereotype.
German players prefer to be workers rather than bounty hunters
Where does this stereotype come from? The two mentioned spaceships and the associated professions fulfil a classic stereotype that particularly applies to German players. In the past, Germany’s economy has been internationally praised for its high work ethic and great diligence.
What could be better than logging into your favorite game after a long day at work and doing some relaxing work there? This has also been elaborated on by colleagues from derstandard.de.
Some of the most popular games in Germany have always been those in which we can build, create, and work. One of the oldest examples: The Settlers, where we build a city and manage its workers.
What do these activities say about us? Essentially, game mechanics such as city building in the very first Settlers with all its tasks (e.g., mining) may not differ much from spaceship recycling or mining in Star Citizen. Provided that both give a player the same feeling of a relaxing activity.
This is supported by the fact that many players from the Star Citizen community are peaceful spaceship pilots who simply want to relax while completing a few jobs, instead of chasing AI villains or real opponents.
What other statistics are available? Further numbers also reveal the spaceships and weapons responsible for the most bounties, including an impressive number of completed bounty missions. However, nearly 400,000 virtual deaths can be attributed to the lack of a helmet in space.
In January 2024, two well-known German gaming YouTubers announced that they would be reducing the production of their elaborate videos and will focus more on streaming on Twitch: HandOfBlood and Kalle Koschinsky. This is reason enough for MeinMMO to take a look: Why are YouTubers switching to Twitch?
What is the situation? In recent years, Twitch has faced a lot of criticism and lost some of its top streamers.
As early as 2019, top stars like Ninja and shroud switched to Mixer.
However, a new development has suddenly emerged in recent weeks. One of the most well-known German gaming YouTubers, Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe, unexpectedly decided to switch to Twitch in January 2024. Just before that, his friend Kalle Koschinsky had also made a similar announcement.

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
YouTube is only worthwhile to a limited extent for many creators
What makes Twitch suddenly attractive again? The motivations for content creators to make a switch may vary from person to person. In his announcement, HandOfBlood mentioned a lack of self-fulfillment and dwindling enjoyment in video production. He felt that he had lost a part of himself in the conceived YouTube videos – the viewers wanted more “Hänno pur” again.
Nevertheless, some patterns can be recognized. One statement arises repeatedly in the discussion: “Elaborate videos are not worth it.” The YouTuber “Jules” shared his calculated hourly wage of €5.29 for the work on his well-composed videos in 2023. He expressed the suspicion that YouTube is simply not made for elaborate videos anymore.
This is partly due to the so-called CPM on YouTube, which indicates how much content creators earn per view. The value is determined individually for each channel and depends on various factors. This leads to situations where the German Twitch streamer Trymacs earns differing amounts with his channels and others receive even just cents.
This type of monetization makes it significantly more challenging for some content creators to earn money with YouTube. Yet it is precisely the relative financial security that makes the video platform attractive for many. For a long time, this security on YouTube opposed a culture on Twitch that promotes a constant “grind” to the point of self-exploitation.
However, content creators have now also come to realize that the all-powerful algorithm favors those YouTubers who regularly create new videos and punishes those who upload videos to YouTube infrequently.
So what is the golden formula? Two elements come together:
YouTube rewards those who regularly upload new videos
Those who spend a lot of time on a single video feel they are not being rewarded for it
For several years now, the trend from the USA has been known where large content creators stream on Twitch and then repurpose excerpts of their videos on YouTube. Streamers like Asmongold or xQc pioneered this trend of live streaming on Twitch and only uploading excerpts on YouTube.
This trend has established itself more and more in recent years, also due to the so-called “reaction meta”: Twitch streamers watch videos from other content creators live on Twitch, be it on YouTube, TikTok, or Twitch, and react to them. Excerpts of these reactions are then published on YouTube.
This way, streamers get the best of both worlds: They stream live on Twitch, interact with the chat and other content creators, gather subs or place their ad deals, and thus stay relevant.
At the same time, they can regularly upload videos on YouTube that require no additional work from them – usually, editors, whether freelancers or employed, take care of the editing and uploading of the videos.
Indeed, both HandOfBlood and Kalle Koschinsky announced that not much would change on their YouTube channels. The former continues to upload videos on his second channel “HandOfUncut” in the same style as before – just that it consists of footage from his stream instead of originally produced videos.
Kalle Koschinsky also continues to contribute to his YouTube channel with recordings from his streams for those viewers who cannot or do not want to tune in live. However, so far these videos have received significantly fewer views than his usual content. It remains to be seen whether the switch to “daily streamer” will pay off in the long run.
Gifted entertainers like HandOfBlood can leverage their charisma and improvisational skills to operate live in the stream while still utilizing and feeding their established reach for YouTube for maximum profit.
It is therefore no coincidence that German YouTubers are increasingly switching to Twitch now; it is currently the established business model that promises maximum reach.

On Steam, the graphically enhanced version of the complex cult hit “Dwarf Fortress” has been enjoying sustained popularity among connoisseurs. However, one mode that the game has in the ASCII version is still missing: the Adventure Mode. In April 2024, it is expected to be released. It sounds like a feast for role-playing gamers who are looking for something entirely different.
Dwarf Fortress has earned a legendary reputation over 22 years as a complex, intricately nested simulation. Amazing stories circulate about dead cats and spilled beer in taverns. However, the game existed for 20 years only without graphics, represented through ASCII code. Therefore, the game was hard to access.
Role-playing mode Adventure Mode is still missing on Steam
Which mode is missing? Dwarf Fortress has a specific mode in the ASCII version called the “Adventure Mode” where you directly control a dwarf or a group and experience personal adventures in the fantasy world, instead of managing the fortress like a drunken dwarven god and looking down at the dwarves as they go mad because they can’t find space to craft but absolutely need to produce something.
Connoisseurs of Dwarf Fortress see the Adventure Mode as a brilliant way to bring the world of Dwarf Fortress to life.
The developers themselves describe their work on this mode as “a completely unique, rough experience that can be fascinating and frustrating.”
What is the problem? The mode was missing at release because countless animations need to be graphically animated, and that hasn’t been feasible in terms of time so far.
In a blog post, the brothers have now announced that they plan to add the mode in April if all goes well.
Dwarf Fortress currently has 95% positive reviews on Steam and costs €29.
According to a leaker, the online shooter Destiny 2 is set to receive activities for 12 players in the future. So far, the maximum has been 6 players in a raid. It could be that this will happen with “Final Shape.”
Where do the information come from?
The information comes from a well-known community member “Liz” and was spread through the Discord server Destiny2Leaks.
As “TheGamerPost” knows, Liz is known for spreading credible information. Therefore, she enjoys a certain degree of credibility.
However, this leak has not been officially confirmed yet. Therefore, it should currently be considered just a rumor.

What does the leak say? Liz merely states that Destiny 2 will bring activities for 12 players in the future.
There is no concrete timeline for when this should happen. But it is likely that Bungie, if they do release something like this, will do it with the release of “The Final Shape” on June 4, 2024, or in a patch afterwards.
In 2021, a bug caused 12 players and more fun in the raid
Why would this be something special? In Destiny, the maximum group size has always been 6 in the raids. However, fans have speculated that Bungie could increase it to 12 for an “epic feeling.”
Bungie even kept this bug active in Destiny 2 longer than necessary, because they noticed how much players enjoyed this “problem.” Ultimately, however, the bug was fixed.
Even back then, some players said this feature brought a breath of fresh air to Destiny 2 and should become a permanent feature rather than remain a bug (via reddit).
Since then, there has been ongoing speculation that Destiny 2 is working on special activities for 12 players, which could revitalize the somewhat stagnant Destiny formula after nearly 10 years.
The DLC “The Final Shape” is scheduled for release in June 2024. Our Destiny expert Britta has summarized what is currently known about the expansion, which has already been delayed amidst much fanfare:
Patrick Jane, as a mentalist, tricks his audience until his family is murdered one day by the serial killer Red John. From then on, he assists the police as a consultant and uses his special cognitive abilities to help solve tricky cases.

Rekkles is one of the biggest ADC talents in League of Legends. He switched to support at T1 and is currently playing in the second league in South Korea. But how is he actually doing there?
This is the situation: The European ADC legend Carl Martin Erik Rekkles Larsson has made a remarkable step in his career during the off-season. After previously playing for Fnatic, G2 Esports, and Karmine Corp, he has now joined the South Korean team T1 Esports Academy, not as ADC, but as a support.
At 27 years old, he is already considered one of the veterans in esports, and many were wondering how he would perform in South Korea. Obviously, he can shine not only in the solo queue as a supporter but also in the LCK Challengers league.

Rekkles currently has the highest KDA in the LCK CL
How is Rekkles performing in the LCK CL? Statistically, according to gol.gg, Rekkles currently has the highest KDA in the league at the start of the LCK CL. However, he did not have a good start with his team in this split.
On January 16, he lost with his team 2:1 against KDF Challengers.
So far, they have won a few games, but overall the team has not yet won a best of 3 in this split.
They have also lost to DK Challengers, HLE Challengers, and FearX Youth.
Overall, he currently has a KDA of 7.1 after 11 games – averaging 2.2 kills, 1.4 deaths, and 7.5 assists per game. KDA is not everything, but the statistics show that he seems to be doing quite well.
Rekkles is especially known for his Janna, but he also shines on champions like Senna and Renata. As a former main ADC, Senna (marksman support) is also a great fit for him, and he proves that.
In his first game in this split, he had a strong performance with Senna, you can see his stats here:

For some victories, he was also awarded as Player of the Game.
What could be the problem? The obvious problems lie in communication. As a European in a South Korean team, Rekkles wants to learn some Korean words to be able to make some shot calls. Rekkles said it is fine for him to play and not talk since he has been playing for a long time. However, his teammates are newbies and need guidance in-game. He wants to learn some words so that they can follow him.
It remains to be seen how the T1 Academy team will continue to perform in the LCK CL. Next Monday, January 29, they are set to play against DRX Challengers at around 11:00 AM. Let’s see if they can secure the victory in this best of 3 this time.
Diablo 4 has received a new Uber boss with Season 3: the Echo of Malphas. The boss is the only source for the unique tuning stones of the Seneschal. MeinMMO reveals how to summon and fight the boss.
Summoning the Echo of Malphas – Here’s how it’s done
The Echo of Malphas is an Uber boss in the “Vault of the Loom.” You can find the entrance in the Hall of Torment, in the round portal room to the north, the largest of the gates. You must have completed the seasonal campaign beforehand.
As with other Uber boss dungeons, the boss is guaranteed to be in the dungeon but must be summoned. You need 7 Glowing Cores and 250 Shattered Stones for this.
After that, you need to conquer a vault, at the end of which Uber Malphas awaits you.
What does the Echo bring me? Only from Uber Malphas can you get the particularly powerful, unique tuning stones for the Seneschal. While they are optional for most builds, they are generally the best you can have.
Additionally, the Echo of Malphas has a high chance to drop legendaries and has a chance for 925 items, which are the best in the game.
Note that Uber Malphas is an absolute endgame boss. Since Patch 1.3.0a, he is fixed at level 100 and has 30% more hit points. Here you can find the full patch notes for Patch 1.3.0a.

Echo of Malphas – Tips for the Fight
To summon, you need Glowing Cores. You can obtain this new currency in 2 ways:
Heralds of Malphas: You can find these minibosses in the open world at the arcane tremors. The corresponding events are already the best farming method for levels and loot, so you will get the cores along the way, although not guaranteed.
The Glowing Cores are a new currency that can only be found since Patch 1.3.0a. Before that, you needed Pearls for the summoning. Accordingly, there is a bit of confusion in the community.

To be allowed to fight the Echo of Malphas, you must complete 4 wings in the vault, each granting you a key stone, just like in the campaign. At the end of each wing, there’s loot.
Therefore, bring at least 22 stacks of Zoltun’s Protection with you at the shrine at the entrance – better more, just to be safe. You will need these for the chests. Since the first patch, you receive 10 stacks of protection for each pearl, so be generous. In the fight against Malphas himself, you should pay attention to the following:
The construct is static in the center and calls forth pillars for support. Take care of these as quickly as possible.
Regularly, chakrams emanate from the construct, circling around the platform. The attack is extremely fast; nevertheless, you should try to dodge.
The fight has various phases with corresponding elements that start when you destroy one of the pillars. A single elemental resistance like against Duriel will not be enough.
The fight against Malphas is purely a single-target fight. Consequently, builds that are only strong when many enemies are present are of no use at all. Meanwhile, you need a build that handles the vault well before the fight. If you need help, you can find the best builds in Diablo 4 Season 3 in our tier list.

MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus grew up with books. His first really thick tomes were all fantasy works. They have influenced him to this day and in a lasting way. Now, the very books that started it all are coming to Steam – and it’s double!
I love fantasy. Whether in books, movies, series, or video games: If I have a choice, I watch, read, or play something from the fantasy genre. It doesn’t matter if it’s clean high fantasy, rough low fantasy, or the dirty, dark whatever Warhammer is doing – the latter has become my favorite.
My first fantasy books were the Redwall saga by English author Brian Jacques, which came to Germany in 1998. The series somehow always flew under the radar, at least here. No wonder, the books were released almost simultaneously with Harry Potter. However, I never really liked that; it was just too exaggerated for me, and even the word “Muggle” seems silly to me to this day. Yes, feel free to spit on me, but I can’t get into that universe.
Redwall is special. Jacques doesn’t just write about magic but combines fantasy with fables and a wonderful medieval world. At the center is the namesake, Redwall Abbey, built of red stone. The inhabitants are mice, rats, badgers…
Despite its seemingly cute presentation, Redwall is quite brutal. Sword fights and deaths are not uncommon. Nevertheless, the series captivated me as a child; I read the first volume at about 8 years old. I was such a big Redwall fan that my first battle tag in Warcraft 3 back then was “Lord Raunklinge,” one of the badger rulers from the series.

The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology – The Trailer for the Adventure Game
Redwall gets 2 games on Steam and I want both
Recently, I received an email from a smaller PR company. Subject: some new games on Steam. Normally, I just skim through such things, but this one caught my eye. It was about Redwall. And yes, about my Redwall.
The saga is getting two games on Steam, both of which are set to be released in 2024:
The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts & Friends – A cooking simulation where you play as an innkeeper serving guests. A true cozy game with cute characters and heartwarming small-town stories. Releases in Q1 2024.
The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology – Essentially “just” a compilation of the previously released “Scout” games from Redwall, but all acts in one game. This is about solving puzzles in a platformer adventure and skillfully overcoming jump or balance puzzles. Releases on February 21, 2024.
There were already Redwall games on Steam before, but they were either incomplete or pure text adventures with no real high standards. The new games won’t be blockbusters either, but they bring back a piece of my childhood.
In researching this topic, I even stumbled upon more that flew completely under the radar for me as a fan.
Redwall has become a huge world, but nobody has noticed
The saga by Brian Jacques now includes not just 22 books – of which only 9 have been translated into German – but also films and series. They are all quite old, but Netflix has been working on a new adaptation since 2021.
Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any new information on that for a while; at least the production hasn’t been canceled. The fact that even I haven’t heard about it may be because I didn’t read English books as a child and teenager. Today, that might be different.
Redwall will not experience a sudden surge from the new games. But anyone who is into fantasy that takes a bit of a different approach should definitely check out some of the saga – whether it’s series, films, books, or now soon the games. My warmest recommendation, even if it’s of course through the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia.
The start of Season 3 in Diablo 4 was mixed: After the acclaimed Season 2, the new content felt simply slow. There was criticism and even insults. Blizzard released an emergency patch a few days later. Now the opinion has completely turned around: Season 3 is suddenly a hit. And the changes are not the only reason.
This was the criticism:
Season 3 brought some new features, including a companion for all players and a new type of dungeon, the vaults. The theme of the season is arcane constructs.
What players are saying now: After almost entirely negative comments on Reddit and in the forums, the voices are now predominantly positive. There is only little criticism left, and when there is, someone immediately counters.
Players say: Season 3 is now really good. “I take everything back that I said,” says one user on Reddit. “I used to hate the season […] now I am at World Tier 4 and it is my favorite season so far.”
As a plus point, the user mentions the now permanently available Hell Tides. Even the Seneschall, the companion construct for everyone, is super useful. Especially when using the right combinations of runestones. At first, the Seneschall was useless.
Yet Blizzard didn’t really change anything about it.

Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3
Blizzard tweaks vaults, players are now at World Tier 4
In the emergency patch 1.3.0a from January 27, Blizzard primarily changed how the vaults themselves work – thus passively buffing the Seneschall. Or rather: It is now faster to level him:
Leadership and calibration stones drop more frequently
What is probably more important for the sudden change of opinion is that players are now further along in the season. They are not crawling around at low levels but are at World Tier 4.
The vaults are now better than the nightmare dungeons for some fans. The mob density is great, there are no annoying side quests to do, and the most important thing: There’s finally a big loot explosion at the end. Exactly what I said just a few hours earlier: The feature that annoys everyone makes me happy – just a bit later.

TheGrefg broke a viewer record on Twitch in 2021 with his own skin in Fortnite and became world-famous. However, he is now dissatisfied with his skin and wishes for adjustments. MeinMMO reveals what’s behind it.
How did the Twitch streamer become famous through Fortnite? The Spanish streamer TheGrefg’s own Fortnite skin was presented as part of the Fortnite Icon Series, a special format by Epic Games for well-known streamers. Big streamers regularly receive a skin in Fortnite modeled after them. TheGrefg introduced the skin in his stream and attracted a ton of viewers.
The Spanish streamer TheGrefg broke the record for the most simultaneous viewers in a Twitch stream by a solo streamer with this Fortnite event in January 2021. With over 2.39 million concurrent viewers, he easily surpassed the then-record holder Ninja with his “Drake Moment”.
For over a year, TheGrefg held this record and became world-famous. Before that, TheGrefg was primarily known in Spain and South America, as he speaks Spanish. Currently, TheGrefg holds the second place on the record list, after the streamer Ibai broke his record with 3.44 million viewers.
All of this sounds nice and good, but three years later, TheGrefg is no longer satisfied with his skin.

TheGrefg is upset about his skin in Fortnite, complains about Epic
What is the problem with the skin? Many players and TheGrefg himself criticized that the skin is not authentic enough and does not adequately reflect the appearance of the streamer. The skin has even become a meme in the community. Players compare the skin with other streamers or well-known personalities from sports – for example, with Cristiano Ronaldo.
This criticism and also his supposedly personal dissatisfaction with his Fortnite skin led him to officially demand changes to the skin from Epic Games, but the desired reaction from Epic Games did not materialize.
With the latest update, the Content Creator-skins were made compatible with LEGO Fortnite, including TheGrefg’s skin.
TheGrefg says:
Now, with the LEGO styles coming for my skin. Change my face model so it looks like me, maybe after all these memes?
The suggestion to also update the normal non-LEGO skin was rejected by Epic Games. The response from Epic Games, as the streamer recounts, was about: If we ever update your face and put it on your skin, then not right now. We are very busy with all the updates at the moment.
TheGrefg commented on the situation and Epic Games’ response with an ironic tone:
Sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I asked to change my face three years after [the skin was released]. How could I do such a thing? I apologize. We should probably change my skin’s face better in the year 2069 (…).
Despite the rejection of his demands, TheGrefg expressed satisfaction with the new LEGO version of his skin, which he believes comes closer to his appearance than the original.
Apart from the lack of changes to his appearance, TheGrefg complained about the technical problems that led to delays in the relaunch of his skin, causing deadlines to not be met.
He stated that the game had lost his respect until his concerns were addressed.
Despite the difficulties, it remains to be seen how the relationship between TheGrefg and Epic Games will develop and whether the wishes will ultimately be fulfilled.
