Reddit user astonished by new mishap

How does the FIFA community react to the new OP bug? In the aforementioned subreddit where the video served as a hook, users agree that the bug must be removed from the game as soon as possible.

Top commentator “CuteCatMug” is surprised, especially that people can even discover such errors (via reddit.com).

User “OG-Builds” makes the following observation in their top response to the comment: “One posts this bug, and 90% of the comments ask how to do it. This community would rather exploit the bug than have fun with the game.” (via reddit.com)

In contrast, user “Sirop-d-arabe” argues that the only way to remove and fix bugs from the game is to exploit them first (via reddit.com). They somewhat take the bug abusers out of the firing line.

In light of the increasing occurrence of bugs in EA FC 24, “Horse-Dig” summarizes the game’s state as follows: “We’re playing an open beta that costs €110, right?” (via reddit.com)

So, there’s now a new bug again. How long it will stay in the game remains open. However, we will keep you updated if there’s anything new to report.

The fact that the prices for the mentioned players with Trickster playstyle have not skyrocketed shows us that the community can have fun with the game even without exploiting bugs.

Besides the aforementioned penalty bug, the career mode also ran a bit rough. There was an issue with coach dismissals.

29-year-old pro insults players badly in Call of Duty: But after one word he stops and apologizes

Schuhmann 19. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you can currently see which words are completely okay in English and which are strictly prohibited. To outsiders, it seems strange. The experienced former pro and content creator Doug “Censor” Martin insulted an opponent for minutes, only stopping at one word.

Who is the pro?

Doug “Censor” Martin was once a big name in Call of Duty: in 2011 he won a championship title at Blackops. Today he is still active for Boston Academy, but mainly he is now a YouTuber and Twitch streamer.
As a YouTuber, he repeatedly stood out with relatively extreme videos that revolved around how he could actually have the most beautiful women in the world, but prefers to play Call of Duty. Once he also announced to expose the alleged cheater Nadia.
But now he has made a mistake for which he must apologize. He spoke to a player in a homophobic manner, but used the one homophobic word that you must not say in English.

Censor rants about a player accused of cheating

What did he do? In a live stream of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on October 16, Censor lost his composure. Live on Twitch, he lashed out severely at a player he has a problem with: The player Kodo was accused of cheating, and Censor had already clashed with him before.

Censor angrily berated Kodo: He told the player he was bad at the game, “sucks dicks,” and is a pussy. He behaved as if he knew “his shit,” but actually knows nothing.

Censor then asked who he follows, whether he is a “Brandon Dashy Dickrider.” Because that’s exactly what he sounds like. Dashy is a CoD player for Optic.

Censor could not control himself: He had no respect for the other, calling him a “bitch” and a “pussy” who should get lost. He told him to unfollow him on social media, “you little fucking fa**ot.”

The term is a derogatory label for homosexual men. In an article from npr.org from 2011, the word is described as “the new N-word,” and various cases are presented regarding the consequences of the word and why it carries such a negative connotation in English (via npr.org).

But at that moment, Censor reached a limit for himself: At the word that starts with “fa”, he interrupted himself immediately, made an alarm sound, and babbled awkwardly. He admitted he was an idiot.

Censor apologizes for the word – He does not stand for it

Here’s how it went on: After the stream, he apologized in a 2-minute video for using the “fa” word. That’s not something he stands for, and he doesn’t actively use the word.

He knows that the word is wrong and is disappointed in himself. He was embarrassed at that moment.

Using the word is simply wrong, and he does not want others to use it just because he does.

The entire language sounds homophobic – but at one word, the limit is reached

This seems so strange from our perspective: The case shows how absurd the boundaries of political correctness can be and that the limits are not comprehensible to outsiders.

The entire speech by Censor is permeated with words that somehow sound homophobic:

“Bitch” – is a derogatory term for women
“Dickrider” – literally translated as “dick rider” is someone who wants to please a popular thing or person
“Pussy” – is used here derogatorily as “softy”
“Suck dick” – is also a homophobic allusion to oral sex for a man

These are basically all words that are somehow homophobic in nature. All these words play with the idea of how “a real man” should behave and that deviations from that are wrong.

All these words are completely okay for Censor and apparently also for his viewers. They can all be used like that. None of it is criticized.

But precisely the “fa” word is such a forbidden word that there the limit is immediately reached and the streamer has to apologize for it for minutes. The word is only referred to as the “fa” word.

For non-native speakers who grew up in a different culture, it is hard to comprehend why other words that sound much harsher to our ears are okay, but this one is not.

The Ukrainian s1mple had a very similar problem: He frequently used a Russian word that was completely okay for him, but represented a worthy insult in the ears of Twitch:

CS2: Players lose their rank because their teammate was banned due to a feature of his AMD graphics card

Dariusz Müller 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Counter-Strike 2 players were banned due to a feature of their AMD graphics card. Now their friends are also feeling the first consequences.

Why were players banned?

CS2 developers Valve warned last weekend against using a specific feature of AMD graphics cards, as it could lead to a VAC ban.
The feature that can lead to a VAC ban is called “Anti-Lag+” and can be used by owners of an AMD graphics card from the Radeon RX 7000 series.
The problem with Anti-Lag+ is that it makes adjustments to the game code – similar to cheat programs.
There have also been reports in other games that AMD graphics card owners face a ban on Steam.
Valve announced on October 13, 2023, that it intends to reverse the corresponding bans as soon as AMD delivers an update (via Twitter).

What about the rank loss? A user named “Gorrapytha” wrote in a post on Reddit that he also received a VAC ban because he used the “Anti-Lag+” feature of his AMD graphics card. He also adds that all his friends lost 10,000 Elo, which is points in the rank mode of CS2.

His friends are also said to have lost points when they played most of their matches solo – without the banned player. One of his friends, for example, fell from 14,000 points to 3,000 points, although Valve only deducted 10 of his 43 wins.

Start video

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer

Autoplay

Why are players losing their points? Valve actively penalizes players who knowingly play with cheaters by deducting points.

Since Anti-Lag+ makes adjustments to the game code, players are punished like normal cheaters, and the same apparently applies to their teammates.

In a screenshot that the Reddit user “Gorrapytha” attached to his post and that likely comes from one of his teammates, it reads:

One or more members of your last parties were caught cheating and permanently banned from the official Counter-Strike servers. All their partners, including you, were penalized. Your Counter-Strike profile rank, your wins, skill groups, and your CS rating have been adjusted and may only be displayed after you win your next match.
via Reddit

What happens now? As the online magazine PC Gamer reports, AMD released a driver update on October 18, 2023, which disables “Anti-Lag+” in supported games such as Counter-Strike 2, so that no players are banned due to the feature anymore.

Valve has also announced that it plans to reverse the bans. Whether the players who lost rank points due to the imposed bans will regain their original rank is currently still unknown.

Diablo 4 forgoes grind in Season 2 and floods you with loot – Now significantly faster

Sophia Weiss 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4’s second season is well underway after some initial hiccups. A lot is going really well – among other things, the new season inundates you with loot and experience points – and almost entirely without grind.

What has happened so far in Season 2? Season 2 of Diablo 4 started two days ago with a lot of issues. The launch was postponed multiple times and crossplay between platforms was disabled.

This initially led to a lot of dissatisfaction among players, which, however, quickly faded with the actual launch. With Season 2, Diablo 4 is also available on Steam, including a version optimized for the Steam Deck. How the game is received there, we have summarized here for you:
Diablo 4 is now on Steam and the first reviews are in

You can watch the trailer for the second season here:

Fast loot without grind – what makes Season 2 of Diablo 4 different

How was the grind and looting so far? So far, the focus has been on leveling in the dungeons. Players had to visit dungeons relevant to their current level and replay them repeatedly.

Leveling up and unlocking new equipment became increasingly slow and labor-intensive, especially at higher levels. This made it difficult, among other things, to experiment with one’s class build.

What makes Season 2 different now? Season 2 of Diablo 4 allows you to level up faster overall. According to Blizzard, reaching level 100 is now approximately 40% faster. This is partly because monsters at level 50 and above now provide more experience points. Additionally, you can gain an advantage with XP-boost elixirs, and seasonal blessings can now stack. The campaign can also be skipped again.

Players are excited about these changes. Here you can read the first reactions: Diablo 4: Can Season 2 convince the usually grumpy community?

New vampire attacks also bring some experience points: These occur hourly in a random overworld zone and can be tackled by all players together. They don’t provide as much experience as dungeons, but the amount is not insignificant.

Bill Gates memorized his employees’ license plates, did not want them to take a break

Martin Vollert 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In a speech to graduates, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, admitted that he used to be obsessed with long workdays. This also led to the toxic habit of monitoring his employees’ breaks by remembering their license plates.

Who is it about? Bill Gates is still considered an influential figure in the IT industry today, more than 15 years after his departure from Microsoft. Software products like the Windows operating system and Office applications are irrevocably associated with his name.

As CEO and head of the software company Microsoft, Gates was not free from questionable behavior when it came to collaboration. His peculiarities also affected his employees. Some time ago, Bill Gates gave a speech to graduates, warning them against taking the same path he did in earlier years.

https://youtu.be/Oj-rDZF6AcI?si=sjtrLLUPWC7ZmStJ&t=720

Bill Gates – a boss with an obsessive tendency for long hours of work without breaks

Why did this confession from the Microsoft founder come about? Bill Gates spoke at the Northern Arizona University graduation ceremony for the class of 2023. He also talked about his own work behavior at the beginning of his career. He set high standards for himself and the employees of Microsoft.

For him, free weekends and vacations were unimaginable. He developed an unhealthy relationship with daily work. Breaks and rest periods were out of the question for him. He made his employees feel this as well. Driven by productivity, he created a stressful work environment.

How did his obsession manifest towards the workforce? He wanted to know which employees took breaks from their jobs. To do this, he remembered the license plates of their cars. This way, he kept track of when each person arrived and left work. He also demonstrated another obsession when playing Minesweeper.

Paul Allen, the other co-founder of Microsoft, also noticed this behavior. Constant pressure on colleagues and a fast work pace were characteristic of everyday life at Microsoft at that time. Gates maintained this attitude towards work for a long time.

Why did Gates change his mind? As he grew older, he eventually realized that breaks from work are not a sign of laziness. He deviated from the formerly high work intensity. As a father, he ultimately realized that time away from work leads to better work results. He now regrets his past behavior and strictly advises young people against it.

von Nicole Wakulczyk

Gates’ behavior is not an exception

Is Bill Gates alone with this behavior? No, this work attitude is not a trait found only in the former CEO of Microsoft. Other well-known figures in the IT industry have exhibited similar behaviors. The late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was known for his ambition and will to perfection. He also made the staff at Apple feel this. A former employee was fired by him 5 times.

In today’s world, entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk is known for his questionable employee motivation methods. Through his actions at X, formerly Twitter, he alienated many colleagues who worked from home. He insisted that the entire staff return to the office. Those who didn’t like it were encouraged to leave the company.

Another CEO has to take his hat off now because Microsoft is taking over his company.

Baldur’s Gate 3: The voice actress of Shadowheart looks shocked as she watches her friend run away with Lae’zel

Cortyn 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

While playing together with her partner, the voice actress of Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t everything go as planned. Her partner finds someone better.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are some sex scenes. These are not only part of the romances in the game, but also sometimes lead to awkward moments for the players – especially when playing in co-op mode and others can “watch” during these scenes.

It’s even funnier to watch couples who have also worked on the game – like the voice actress of Shadowheart (Jennifer English) and her partner (Aliona Baranova), who worked as a Performance Director for the game.

The two are currently spending their time playing Baldur’s Gate 3 together and streaming their progress. And that leads to particularly amusing scenes at times.

Sex scene causes shocked faces: To Jennifer English’s shock, her partner has not chosen a romance with Shadowheart but has instead gone after the Gith’yanki Lae’zel.

Lae’zel, however, is not discreet when it comes to bedroom stories. She is very dominant, and Baranova’s character has no choice but to submit.

This leads to shocked and fascinated faces from both, who can only stare at what is happening on screen – and this is already the stream-friendly “softened” version, where appropriate body areas are covered with leaves.

You can see the exact scene starting at minute 35 in this stream:

It’s particularly uncomfortable for both of them, as they saw the voice actress of Lae’zel (Devora Wilde) on the same day. This makes the scene just a little stranger.

What’s behind it? Although the voice actors behind Baldur’s Gate 3 get along well, there is something like a “played enmity” when the actresses of Shadowheart and Lae’zel are in front of the camera. This often reflects the discussions in the community about who the “Best Girl” in Baldur’s Gate 3 is.

The streams of Jennifer English and her partner Aliona Baranova are quite entertaining and worth a look not only for fans of Baldur’s Gate 3. One can experience an almost childlike fascination for video games – which only gets better because the players know all the voices as real people. Anyone looking for some “feel-good” entertainment and proficient in English can have a good time in the stream.

If you want to see the voice actress of Lae’zel during her first attempts – this is also worth a look and hilariously funny.

A New Game About RoboCop Looks Strong and Reminds of Fallout

Jasmin Beverungen 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

RoboCop is a science fiction movie from 1987. The main role is played by a cyborg police officer who ensures law and order on the streets. There have been several video game adaptations of the series, but with RoboCop: Rogue City, the best yet could follow.

What is RoboCop: Rogue City?

We play a cop who is half human, half machine, and ensures justice on the streets of Detroit
The story is set between RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3
Original actor Peter Weller lends his voice to the cyber cop
In the first-person shooter, we can use 20 different weapons to blow criminals’ heads off
Our police work includes maintaining public order
The title will be released on November 2, 2023, for PC via Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5

One of the features of RoboCop: Rogue City is that we can solve tasks according to our own sense of justice. Depending on which options we choose, the outcome of a mission can vary or determine the well-being of citizens.

A major plus is said to be the game’s visuals (via polygon.com). The settings are said to be nearly identically replicated and many NPCs look great. This is said to perfectly capture the look and feel of RoboCop.

You can watch how beautiful RoboCop: Rogue City actually looks in the following trailer:

Start video

RoboCop: Rogue City Trailer

Autoplay

Features in RoboCop: Rogue City remind of Fallout

What features are there? The team at Polygon also writes that the game reminds them of Fallout in some aspects. For example, there is a feature that allows us to interrogate NPCs. We can choose whether to pressure citizens for information or even threaten them with penalties if they do not cooperate.

Additionally, there is a skill tree through which we can further enhance our cybernetic abilities. This includes, among others, the following abilities:

Slow-motion view
Shockwave that can kill or stun opponents
Dash punch
Psychological influence that can strengthen NPCs’ trust in RoboCop

The system is somewhat reminiscent of the SPECIAL system from the Fallout series, where players can invest points into different aspects of their personality as they level up.

Polygon has already been able to play the game for several hours and is looking forward to experiencing the full campaign of 20 to 30 hours. This title could possibly be the best in the series so far.

Why could this be the best RoboCop? All titles released so far in the RoboCop series have not exactly impressed with their quality. The best-rated game of the series has a score of 62 points on Metacritic.

Another game from 2003 can even only muster a score of 30 points. Thus, the bar for RoboCop: Rogue City is not set very high, and it could be that this title secures the first place of the best games in the series.

„We have a story crisis“ – Already 10 years ago, a legendary director complained about Hollywood

Niko Hernes 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Nowadays, cult directors like Martin Scorsese complain about the uncreative Hollywood, which consists only of franchises. But this was already a topic over ten years ago. The same goes for James Cameron.

In a Spiegel interview from 2011 with James Cameron, he spoke about Hollywood’s problem of bringing new and creative films to the screen. Back then, a film about which he had nothing good to say was Battleship.

When thinking about movies like Cocaine Bear or Barbie today, one might wonder how such ideas come about, then they have forgotten about Battleship. The film is based on the Battleship game. The film starred people like Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård, and also Rihanna. With 41 points on Metacritic, the film was not a qualitative success.

For James Cameron, this film was a good example of the crisis that resembles today’s discourse with the MCU and an uncreative Hollywood.

Here you can see the trailer for Battleship:

We have a story crisis

Similar to Martin Scorsese, who also likes to speak out against the MCU and franchises, Cameron also negatively commented on the state of Hollywood back then. He spoke about a story crisis and how Hollywood only consists of making sequels out of something already successful.

This also fits into the current discourse about the MCU franchise or so-called legacy sequels like recently The Exorcist – Believer, Halloween Ends, or Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which try to attract audiences with old characters and familiar faces.

Back then, Cameron was still promoting the first Avatar film, which had no source material and built a world and story from scratch. However, now one can also call this a franchise that will soon even get a game:

„Okay, Boomer“ – Survey shows strong differences between older and younger gamers

Schuhmann 19. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

A survey on player behavior shows strong differences in how members of “Gen Z” (11-26) behave compared to Baby Boomers (59-77). Especially in the use of consoles, Twitch, or social media platforms like Instagram, behavior changes significantly. MeinMMO examines the differences.

What kind of survey is this? The company “tinuiti” surveyed 1,000 players who play daily or weekly and analyzed the results. We requested and evaluated the survey results at MeinMMO. The work of the site seems aimed at companies wanting to know how to best spend their advertising budget to reach the most gamers.

The survey from the company primarily distinguishes by age:

“Baby Boomers” are currently between 59 and 77 years old.
Members of Gen X are between 43 and 58 years old.
Gen Y, the so-called Millennials, includes people between 27 and 42.
The Gen Z consists of people who are between 11 and 26 years old in 2023.
Those younger than 11 belong to “Gen A”, but they are not relevant to the survey.

In the course of the article, we primarily compare the answers of Baby Boomers (59-77) with those of Gen Z (11-26).

What does “Okay, Boomer” mean? The phrase “Okay, Boomer” is usually not directed at 60-year-olds but at anyone who, in the eyes of those who consider themselves cool, does not understand and cannot comprehend every nuance of a current trend.

The streamer DrDisrespect (then 38) had to take an “Okay, Boomer” from xQc.

Some cheeky and indecent employees of MeinMMO even dare to slander venerable editorial directors in this way.

DrDisrespect is 41 years old, he technically belongs to “Gen Y”, but he is more often seen as a Boomer because he is significantly older than most other streamers:

Younger players also use gaming for social contacts – Older ones, not at all

Where do we see a significant difference? Some members of Gen Z deliberately use gaming to meet new people (8%) and to stay in touch with friends (12%).

Baby Boomers hardly use gaming at all (only 3% for both answers).

The most commonly cited reasons for playing for both age groups are “to relax” and “to be entertained”, with relaxation being dominant among older players.

Note: The embedded statistics are somewhat peculiar. You need to hover your cursor over the bars to see what they represent:

Mobile gaming dominates across all age groups – Older players have nothing to do with consoles

What is surprising in the survey: One might assume that older players primarily play on PC and, in fact, 57% of surveyed older players state that the PC is their favorite platform.

However, consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch are hardly used by older players; they, like all other age groups, increasingly play on their mobile phones or tablets.

Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram belong to the young

Where do we see another significant difference? Generally: Older players can make very little of streaming: Only 10% of Boomers watch Twitch at least once a week, while almost every second Millennial does. The enthusiasm for Twitch among Gen Z players is just a bit lower.

While 48% of Gen Z players and 44% of Millennials reported that they have bought a game based on a streamer’s recommendation, only 14% of Boomers say this.

The same picture emerges when asking players if they have attended an in-game event, like a concert in Fortnite: The younger, the higher the probability.

Where do players find information about games? The most important platform where players learn about new games is YouTube, followed by Facebook and gaming websites. Twitch and Steam play only a minor role in the search for new games.

For older players, Facebook is significantly more important than for younger ones. This confirms Facebook’s reputation as a “senior platform”: Younger players are apparently bothered by the fact that they should provide their real name there.

A significant difference is also seen with Instagram and TikTok, which are more platforms for younger people.

Why Facebook isn’t for him was explained by MontanaBlack, who often hears in the German area that he is “a senior”. However, he is only 35 years old:

Diablo 4 launches on Steam and the first reviews are here

Lydia 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

With the launch of Season 2, Diablo 4 was released on Steam on October 17, 2023. Can it top the disastrous launch of Blizzard’s last release, Overwatch 2, on the platform? We at MeinMMO have taken a look at the first reviews.

On October 17, the second season, the “Season of Blood,” started in Diablo 4, although with some complications. At the same time, the action RPG was released on Steam and can now be played effortlessly on the Steam Deck.

Why Diablo 4 was in a difficult position at the Steam launch has been summarized for you by the colleagues from GameStar.

Only 51% positive reviews for Diablo 4 on Steam

What do the reviews look like after one day? One day after release, Diablo 4 has 630 reviews on Steam marked as “Mixed”. 51% of players recommend the game, while 49% have given a negative review (as of: October 18, 2023, 18:15).

Among the first 20 reviews in German and English shown by Steam as the “most helpful,” there is only one positive rating so far.

Players are mainly complaining about difficulties loading the game, linking with the Battle.net account, or expressing their general frustration about the monetization in Diablo 4. We have compiled some statements for you here:

DonEsteban: ‘I am truly speechless. What a disastrous state and what a mediocre Steam release.[…]’
Vossi: ‘Since I cannot progress in the game beyond the Blizzard LOGO right at the start of the game, I am requesting a refund. I’m sure I can watch the image for free elsewhere.’
⛧ M†ropele ⛧: ‘During my childhood, Blizzard could do no wrong. As an adult, they can’t do anything right.’ – This review has been considered helpful by more than 11,000 users.

Notably, the negative reviews tend to have significantly less playtime on their accounts. They carefully stay under the mark of 2 hours, within which a game can be easily returned on Steam.

Some mention in their reviews that they have requested a refund. There is an impression that some players only purchased Diablo 4 to write a negative review and quickly got their money back afterward.

Among the positive reviewers, you find more who have already spent a few hours in Diablo 4 on Steam. They praise how well the game runs on the Steam Deck.

Overall, the Steam release of Diablo 4 has been somewhat bumpy so far, but at least better than that of Overwatch 2:

Steam: A gaming genre is cursed, destroying great studios, even though the games are really good

Schuhmann 19. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

A genre that is currently causing problems for studios: Tactical strategy games that rely on stealth. Although the games “The Lamplighter League” and “Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew” received good to outstanding reviews on Steam, player numbers are low. This is bringing the studios behind the games to their knees. First, it hit Mimimi Games in Munich, and now Harebrained Schemes is also facing serious issues. There have been mass layoffs, and the publisher Paradox is parting ways with the studio.

What kind of genre is this?

The genre can be described as “Tactical RPG with stealth elements.”
The games often feel like digitized versions of tabletop games, where you move cute figures across the board and make tactical decisions.
You can develop the figures you move, just like in an RPG, giving them skills and items.

Start video

The Lamplighters League shows the gameplay in the trailer

Autoplay

Despite 95% positive reviews – a flop on Steam

These are the games:

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew was released on August 17, 2023 on Steam – and has 95% positive ratings there. It has 85% on Metacritic.
“The Lamplighters League” came to Steam on October 3 and has 72% positive reviews. With its exciting 30s setting, the game has 75% on Metacritic.

Thus speaks the curse: Both games failed to convince upon release on Steam. Player numbers remained far below expectations, resulting in dire consequences for both studios.

Paradox parts ways with the studio behind “The Lamplighters League”

This is what happened to Harebrained Schemes: The publisher of “The Lamplighters League”, Paradox Interactive, first expressed its disappointment with the game. This is expected to result in around $22.8 million in losses.

According to reports from former employees, there had already been significant layoffs in the studio back in July (via resetera). These layoffs have since been confirmed by the studio: Once the main development of The Lamplighters League was completed, the team shrank from “full strength” to a “post-launch development” team, as there was no new project to which employees could switch.

Paradox had acquired the developers in 2018 – Harebrained Schemes is known for games like BattleTech and Shadowrun.

Now, Paradox has even announced that it will part ways with the developer “Harebrained Schemes”. From January 1, 2024, the studio will be independent again (via pcgamer).

Harebrained Schemes apparently wanted to develop another game in the genre, but Paradox decided that such a game no longer fits into the portfolio.

This is what happened to Mimimi Games: The studio from Munich was hit even harder. The team in Munich specialized in this type of strategy game, had built up a fan base over the years, and had earned a good reputation.

But after the commercial failure of Shadow Gambit, the founders decided to shut down the studio.

The strain was too high. Especially the difficulty of continuously finding new sources of funding was cited as a reason.

The genre has always been niche – Now Baldur’s Gate 3 is added

Why is the genre performing so poorly? At least three factors come together:

Strategy games with stealth elements are a niche and a “lover’s” genre. There are genre classics, but the genre simply doesn’t have that many fans. Stealth games with action elements like the “Thief” series are apparently more popular.
It is very difficult to market games of the genre in any form through trailers or Twitch. These are not games that are great to watch.
Both games were released right in the middle of the hype for Baldur’s Gate 3 – which offers similar gameplay with turn-based tactical battles, albeit with a different focus, and seems to contribute to the genre’s failure.

LoL: The 2nd large YouTuber leads his team into the LEC – What about HandofBlood and Eintracht Spandau?

Niko Hernes 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

More and more YouTubers and streamers are founding E-sports teams in various fields with their reach. The Karmine Corp team finally makes it to the most important European League of Legends league next year. There is a team like that in Germany too. But how is the success of Eintracht Spandau?

What is Karmine Corp?

E-sport team founded by the two French streamers Kamel Kebir and Zouhair Darji
The team achieved great success in the French league: Karmine Corp won the LFL twice
Had ADC icon Rekkles under contract, who is currently without a team

Now it has been announced on Twitter that Karmine Corp will be allowed to participate in the LEC in 2024. For them, the team Astralis is leaving the league. This makes Karmine Corp the second European team founded by a YouTuber to make it to the LEC later. The first team was the Spanish team Heretics.

Germany also has a team from a YouTuber

In Germany, there is also a team founded by a YouTuber. Eintracht Spandau by HandofBlood. In 2021, the successful YouTuber founded the team. In 2022, they played their first matches in the German Prime League.

They aimed high, but real sporting successes were absent in 2022. They couldn’t achieve the goal of the European Cup in 2023 either. These defeats also left their mark on HandofBlood, who then expressed his frustration:

It is frustrating to see that we, when it matters, simply cannot deliver in sports, let alone live up to our own expectations.
Twitter

Whether a transition to the LEC is worthwhile given the current status is questionable. Although the team could buy themselves into a spot if one became available and they had the money, whether the current team could compete against the other LEC teams is very unlikely.

However, they have celebrated great successes in other areas and even helped the German E-sports scene, as Eintracht Spandau and the streamer team NNO have significantly increased the viewer numbers of the German scene:

Developer scammed items in the largest MMORPG in the world – Now faces trial

Alexander Leitsch 19. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Dungeon Fighter Online is the largest MMORPG in the world and especially popular in Asia. However, there is a scandal, as a developer has generated items using the admin tools and even earned real money from it.

What exactly did the developer do? From the Korean version from 2020 until November 2022, he repeatedly generated items and sent them to a private account. He then sold these items to NPC merchants and exchanged the received gold for real money through illegal means in real-money trading.

The sum involved is around 7 trillion gold. Converted, that gold was worth 2 million US dollars.

However, it is unclear how much of it was actually sold. In court, the accused stated that he only got rid of a portion of the total gold.

Why did we only find out about it in August? According to Live Director Jong Min Park, legal action was taken immediately in November 2022 – as soon as they became aware of the situation. However, for legal reasons, they could not comment publicly on it.

Because the accused admitted the act in August 2023, they could speak openly about it.

Developer only used items from older content patches to hide his actions

Why did the fraud go unnoticed for so long? In the forum, it is stated that the economic situation in the game is constantly monitored. However, the perpetrator generated items from old content and did so only in tiny quantities and very regularly.

This way, it went unnoticed that he was cheating and generating gold.

What are the consequences of the action? On one hand, the former Live Director was fired and Jong Min Park took over his job in August 2023.

On the other hand, the players of Dungeon Fighter Online received a few items as compensation, with which the developers want to apologize for the incident.

What happens to the offender? He already lost his job and his account in Dungeon Fighter Online in November.

Moreover, the first day of the trial took place on October 16. Although the evidence is said to be clear, there is still a point of contention. It is still unclear how much money he really made from the fraud.

According to MMORPG.com.pl, he could face a prison sentence of up to 7 years if he really sold the total gold for 2.7 million dollars. However, if the amount is significantly lower, the sentence will be adjusted accordingly.

The sale of gold is a much-discussed topic. According to the terms of service, it is prohibited in almost all MMORPGs. Nevertheless, in some countries, it is even more lucrative to farm gold than to work. We have reported on a case here:

Dungeon Fighter Online was even the world’s most successful PC game for a while

How big is the MMORPG really? Since its release in 2005, Dungeon Fighter Online has generated over 20 billion dollars in revenue and has over 850 million registered users. For comparison:

WoW generated about 9.23 billion dollars from 2004 to 2017, SWTOR made about 1 billion dollars from 2011 to 2020.
Final Fantasy XIV has 27 million registered players according to its own offers, Guild Wars 2 has around 18 million.

Dungeon Fighter Online is thus many times larger than the well-known MMORPGs in the West.

In 2019, it was even the most successful PC game in the world.

WoW: This is how you start the hard mode with the Headless Horseman and get better loot

Cortyn 19. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

The hard mode of the Headless Horseman in World of Warcraft promises better loot. We will tell you how to activate it – and what it brings.

In World of Warcraft, the annual event of the Hallow’s End has started. The popular Halloween holiday has been revamped in 2023 and now includes some new rewards and a modernized fight against the Headless Horseman.

What many players have missed so far is that the fight against the Headless Horseman has a “hidden” hard mode. When you unlock it, better rewards and an additional achievement await. Especially collectors of the special mount “The Reins of the Horseman” should check out the hard mode.

Here’s how to activate the hard mode: To activate the hard mode of the Headless Horseman, enter the fight as usual through the group finder. After entering the dungeon, you should immediately turn left. There you will see 5 wooden figures that you probably already know from Drustvar. Talk to the large figure in the middle and choose the option to “accept all curses.”

You should now have a debuff – that activates the hard mode for you as soon as the fight starts.

What changes with the curses? The curses apply individually to each player. You will therefore get new abilities from the boss to deal with. Your group members cannot see these effects nor interact with them. You must:

Dodge additional ground effects. A purple swirl that spawns directly under you. It looks identical to the swirl that remains centered on your character – but it is not.
Defeat an additional add with your name that goes toward a marked area. Kill it before it reaches the area.
Touch a orb that will connect with your character. Run to the orb and collect it.

If you fail at a curse or a normal boss mechanic, your health points will be reduced by 10% for the rest of the fight. This effect is stackable. Those who ignore these mechanics will soon find themselves without health points.

If you activate all 4 curses and defeat the boss, your chance of getting better loot from the reward chest will increase.

The hard mode is not really difficult. You just need to play a bit more actively than usual – the average player should be able to handle the additional curses easily.

However, be aware that the achievement associated with the curses seems to be somewhat bugged at times. Not all players receive the achievement credited on their first attempt, even though they have all 4 curses active. If in doubt, just try again – the event will last for a few more days.

What new rewards are there? The Headless Horseman can drop the pet “Arfus” for the first time this year. This is the soul of a cute dog that originally appeared in Hearthstone.

Arfus is not the “Lich King”, but the “Lick King” – simply because he is so happy and loves to lick all the people.

Besides that, there is a new customization for your ride dragons with cool pumpkin gear – visually perfect for the Hallow’s End.

Thirdly, there is the “Crimson Key.” With this item, you can start a short quest line in the Scarlet Monastery and unlock the old Classic versions of the dungeon! This allows you to get old transmog that was no longer available. You can also buy and sell the key through the auction house if you should have no luck (or too much of it).

All three items have a fairly low drop chance, which you can increase by activating the hard mode.

Have you already collected everything interesting from the Headless Horseman?

Solo players can be happy – because they will soon have more to do in WoW.

EA FC 24: Player falls for simple trick, loses one million coins in seconds

Thomas Dummer 19. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In EA FC 24 a player fell victim to a scammer. The culprit shamelessly exploited the gullibility and goodwill of his counterpart and is now a million coins richer in Ultimate Team. The defrauded shared his experiences on Reddit.

How was the player scammed? After an EA FC 24 match, which the opponent won, Reddit user “tanegl” asked about his opponent’s tactical settings. The opponent was communicative and agreed to share his tactical guidelines with the loser.

In his naivety, the unsuspecting user handed over free control of his Ultimate Team account to his opponent through the Shareplay function on PlayStation. This, however, would become his downfall.

The fatal result of his blind trust he posted on Reddit.

“I am gullible, so I got scammed”

What happened next? His opponent saw the opportunity to inflict not only a defeat on his adversary but also a painful coin loss, rapidly boosting his own account.

Contrary to the agreement with the gullible user, the crook did not go into the tactics menu but onto the transfer market. There, he quickly bought the overpriced MadReady card offered by the scammer from Chelsea player Sam Kerr for one million coins; and that with the account holder’s coins. Sam Kerr normally has a market value of around 200k, well below the million mark.

A nasty loss. Comments under the Reddit post reveal that the thief immediately ended the Shareplay and deleted the conversation (via reddit.com).

The scam tactic of stealing from someone via Shareplay was not known to us. However, the affected can now join the ranks of robbed players in EA FC 24. In another article, we already reported about the hacker attack on two well-known German streamers.

Reddit community shows incomprehension, hopes for learning effect

How does the community react? Reddit is overflowing with posts about this incident. Part of the users can’t believe how easily the victim made it for the perpetrator and why nothing was done about it.

For instance, user “Life-Outlook-31” asks if “tanegl” simply watched as the scammer went onto the transfer market and bought the most expensive Kerr card.

In response, he stated that they had talked about many things in EA FC 24 for about an hour and he had also been too inattentive and too comfortable to check exactly what his opponent was doing (via reddit.com).

Some, however, show compassion and wish the affected that everything will turn out well again. Many users provide tips on how the robbed player should proceed now.

Everyone hopes he has learned from his naivety: User “LiteralMushroomCock” draws a conclusion from the entire topic and formulates the following lesson: “At least you still get back 200k if you sell them. Big L (stands for loss, note of the editor), but you’ve learned from it and you will move on. Never do that again.” (via reddit.com)

User “HazardWarningTen” also hits the same note, noting that the lesson could have been taught in an even worse way. He writes: “Better you learned from losing virtual currency than real money.”

How does the scammed user himself comment on the incident? His numerous comments indicate that he has definitely learned from his mistakes. The following post best summarizes his more cautious attitude for the future:

I now trust in the basics again. Don’t talk to strangers, don’t get into strangers’ cars. Now it’s just me and my Kerr against the rest of the world.
via reddit.com

At least the scammed user can take it with humor.

At this point, it should be mentioned again that you should only share your screen with people you know and where you can be sure that they have no malicious intent.

You also have the option to activate the Shareplay function without the other participant gaining control of the controller and the game.

The scammed user at least had the advantage that he did not share his account details with the unknown person, thus protecting his account from further external attacks.

A large part of his coins was lost by the reckless player anyway. Therefore, our list of 5 affordable strikers in EA FC 24 who are still really good could certainly help him. But we also recommend that you check out this article.

Warcraft Rumble starts in 2 weeks – All about release, Pay2Win and PvE

Cortyn 19. October 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

Warcraft Rumble will be released in just a few weeks and will be available for download. MeinMMO takes a look at Blizzard’s mobile game and reveals what the game is worth.

For a long time, “Warcraft Mobile” was in the making. Initially called “Warcraft Arclight Rumble,” the game was recently renamed to “Warcraft Rumble.” The official release is just a few weeks away. We take a look at the mobile game and reveal for whom it is suitable – and who should probably stay away.

When will Warcraft Rumble be released in Germany? The official release of Warcraft Rumble is on November 3, 2023, just in time for BlizzCon 2023. From then on you can download the game from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (Android).

Start video

Trailer for Warcraft: Arclight Rumble, the new mobile game from Blizzard

Autoplay

What is the gameplay of Warcraft Rumble about? You are the troop commander and must strategically place your miniatures (“Minis”) on the battlefield. They then march towards the enemy. The goal is to defeat the boss of the current map. Along the way, you will defeat enemies, capture towers, mine gold, or open treasure chests to gather more resources and either place more Minis or allow them to spawn closer to the goal.

Minis have special strengths, such as flying units being effective against foot soldiers, while siege units quickly take down towers. This “rock, paper, scissors” principle is further expanded by the fact that Minis can be leveled up and their rarity improved. As a result, they become not only stronger and have more hit points but can also learn talents – including typical Warcraft abilities, such as shadow mimicry of the night elves.

As you follow a campaign and strategically use your Minis in battle, you also try to expand your collection and continually improve the quality of the Minis. This follows the typical “Gacha” principle used by many free-to-play games.

How long does a match last? Individual matches in Warcraft Rumble are very short. Depending on the level, you will need 3-5 minutes for a map. Of course, you can play multiple matches in a row, but Warcraft Rumble, like many other mobile games, is excellent for short matches on the go – for instance, on the bus or tram.

The short duration ensures that you can almost always fit in one match or another.

Is Warcraft Rumble a PvE game? The focus of Warcraft Rumble seems clearly to lie on the PvE aspect. There is a long campaign at normal and heroic difficulty. This campaign takes place entirely in single-player mode, and other players have no influence on your progress.

Is there PvP? Yes, there is. As of now, however, the mode is still not very developed, as the different Minis for PvP are not balanced or only insufficiently balanced. Many testers currently see the PvP mode as a nice addition – but anyone looking for a balanced PvP experience will likely be disappointed with Warcraft Rumble.

Is Warcraft Rumble Pay2Win? No, at least not in the PvE mode. Although spending money can speed up progress (“Pay2Progress”), you can also achieve this progress by investing time (e.g., repeatable tasks).

An example is a unlock that cost around €20 during the beta. This increases the gold amount you receive from various tasks by 50%. Thus, you can ultimately improve your Minis 50% faster than other players.

In PvP, however, Pay2Win seems to be a real threat. With real money, you can buy a wider variety of Minis earlier, which ultimately means more options in PvP. How often “paying players” face off against “free-to-play” players likely depends heavily on matchmaking. As already mentioned, however, the focus of the game is not on PvP.

Note that this information is based on the current state of the game’s beta. Some aspects may change by launch.

Can you play Warcraft Rumble on PC? No. As of now, it is purely a mobile game. You must play it on a smartphone or tablet. A PC or console version is not planned at this stage.

You might be able to bypass this restriction with various emulators, as has been done with other mobile games – but the use of them is at your own risk.
