Beware when logging into GTA Online! Currently, there is a bug that removes your expensive vehicles. Players are reporting their experiences with it.
What kind of bug is this? In the online world of Grand Theft Auto V, the mood is currently bad. On social media, players are reporting that they have suddenly lost their vehicles. Now, creators are warning about this bug. Log in at your own risk, they say. As long as the issue is not resolved, your vehicles are at risk.
We will show you here how the bug works and what players are saying about it.
Community warns against logging into GTA Online
This is the warning: In a tweet from June 20, YouTuber GhillieMaster highlights the current problems in the online mode (via Twitter.com). He writes:
WARNING! Check your garages in GTA Online as soon as possible. A new bug randomly removes your insurances. Don’t let your vehicles be destroyed, or you will lose them if they have no insurances.
In a YouTube video, he also addresses the bug:

In the comments on Twitter, some players reply who are affected by the bug. User Jackknife Finnegan writes: ‘I literally just lost my MK II out of nowhere … I thought you were joking. But this is serious and ridiculous.’
Another user asks if this could apply to all vehicles. Like the Deluxo, the Ruiner 2K, Arena War vehicles, etc., to which GhillieMaster replies: ‘If they can be stored and insured, then it can happen.’
Also on Reddit, players are discussing the topic. One writes:
‘[…] The car I have owned for months and that was automatically insured because I bought it online somehow had no insurance, I have now lost my favorite car🥲.’
What does this mean for you? If you are currently racing through the streets of GTA Online with your 3-million-dollar sports car, it may happen that suddenly your insurance coverage is no longer active. If another player in a session decides to have fun and destroys your car, then it is gone. Forever. At least according to the current state in GTA Online.
So be sure to check the insurance coverage of your vehicles if you want to play GTA Online. You can do this in your garages at the vehicle info.
Players take affected vehicles to LS Customs and have them insured again. But whether these insurances can no longer be affected by the bug is unclear.
In FIFA 23 will the Women’s World Cup 2023 be accompanied by a major update. What is in the mode?
When FIFA 23 was presented, EA Sports made it clear that it wanted to give more attention to women’s football. Among other things, some club teams and leagues for women were introduced, and Australian top scorer Sam Kerr became the cover star of the game.
In some modes like Ultimate Team, however, the female players are still missing. And even among the player community, the features surrounding women’s football apparently haven’t caught on yet.
If you look at the PS5 achievement statistics for FIFA 23, you will find the achievement “Football is everything”. You get it once you play a match with women’s teams. So far, this achievement is marked as “Very Rare”, with 9.5% of players having obtained it.
Will this number increase by the release of successor EA Sports FC? It is conceivable, as a new update for FIFA 23 is to accompany the Women’s World Cup in the summer.
What kind of update is it for FIFA 23?
EA Sports presented the update for the “FIFA Women’s World Cup” on its own website (via ea.com). There should be different ways to experience the tournament directly in the game.
One option puts individual players in the foreground: In the “Take Your Country” mode, you either play as a real player or create your own, which can then be assigned to the national team. Now the tournament is played through – either with the chosen player or the entire team.
Then there is a very classic tournament mode that you can play solo. Additionally, the World Cup will also be available in kick-off, where you can play against the AI or friends on the couch.
What content is included in the update? Besides the tournament modes, all 32 qualified nations will be available. There will also be decorations for the stadium and a special presentation of the matches including new cinematics. The commentators are also expected to specifically address the tournament.
When will the update be released? EA Sports did not provide an exact date yet, mentioning “end of June”. It will be released as a free update, so it can be easily downloaded.
By the way, the real World Cup starts on July 20, 2023, and runs until August 20. The tournament will take place in Australia and New Zealand.
Millions of hard drives (HDDs) are shredded every year. There are much safer methods to protect old data.
Many people destroy old hard drives because they believe that shredding old hard drives can prevent the recovery of valuable data. However, destruction does not stop experienced hackers from recovering your data from an HDD.
Some sell their hard drives or dispose of them without thinking about their data. As a result, sensitive business data or personal data like passport photos, forgotten by a user, are often found.
According to the online magazine PCGamer, a trained hacker only needs a piece of an old hard drive that is just 3 mm small to extract data. If you only send your hard drive through a shredder, there is (theoretically) a chance that your data will be analyzed.
Instead, two other methods are recommended if you want to thoroughly delete your data.
There are better ways to irretrievably delete data
To thoroughly delete data on an old hard drive and make it uninteresting for hackers, there are two simple methods:
Method 1: On one hand, you can overwrite your data with new data patterns. Usually, one single overwrite is sufficient. Modern HDDs today also offer the command ATA-“Enhanced Security Erase.” This is supposed to erase the entire hard drive including defective storage areas, explains BSI.
A formatting, by the way, is not enough, because it only creates a new file system structure and a new directory. Your data will still be preserved.
In a further step, you should also delete all other copies of the data that may be located in temporary files or pagefiles.
Method 2: On the other hand, you can simply delete the encryption key with which you use your hard drive. Because without the key, hackers cannot do anything with your data.
What else works? Linus Neumann, spokesperson for the Chaos Computer Club, recommends encrypting data in general (via netzpolitik.org). Once the entire hard drive is encrypted, it is no longer readable without a password. Programs like BitLocker are already integrated into Windows today and can be used by anyone.

One of the most important things to get the most out of your build in Diablo 4 are the gems. Gems can provide various values depending on where you use them. How to improve gems and the gem smith is covered in our guide.
How do gems work? Gems can be placed into the various sockets of your items. Depending on the type of equipment, gems improve different values. There are gems in 5 different quality levels:
Raw Gemstone
Damaged Gemstone
Gemstone
Flawless Gemstone
Royal Gemstone
Lower-level gemstones can be improved by the gem smith.

Diablo 4: Unlocking the Gem Smith and Upgrading Gemstones
How do I unlock the Gem Smith? When you reach level 20 with your character, you receive a quest to visit the jeweler in Kyovashad. He will ask you to convert a raw ruby into a damaged ruby.
What else can you do at the Gem Smith? The Gem Smith not only improves gems but also has other important functions.
You can add sockets to equipment. The materials for this can be found with world bosses or loot goblins. This is useful when you have good equipment that lacks sockets.
You can remove gemstones from sockets if you want to swap them between equipment pieces.
You can upgrade your jewelry, i.e., rings and amulets, to enhance their values.
This is what the menu looks like when you want to craft and improve gemstones
How do I improve gemstones? To upgrade gems to the next level, you only need 3 copies of a gem and enough gold. For example, you can turn 3 damaged sapphires into a sapphire. Upgrading to the next level also improves the values provided by the gemstone.
The gold costs are as follows:
Damaged Gemstone: 4,500 Gold
Gemstone: 12,500 Gold
Flawless Gemstone: 18,000 Gold
Royal Gemstone: 50,000 Gold

This only pertains to crafting. You can also find flawless diamonds for example at level 55.
Diablo 4 offers a built-in system to customize your appearance. Through the “Transmog,” you can assemble and quickly change various outfits. Some players use this to recreate famous characters – and quite impressively.
In the Transmog system of Diablo 4, many players are currently expressing their creativity. You can change your armor and adjust colors with just a few adjustments and even use special items that you carry on your back. Very popular: a cute wolf puppy.
Diablo 4 places great importance on the appearance of your characters. You can already make countless adjustments during character creation and find various armors in the game to create your own style.
However, the shop is under criticism. Pre-made skin packs cost up to 25 €, which is even too much for some hardcore fans. However, everything is optional and purely cosmetic.
In fact, many items from the shop can be found almost identically in the game and the armors that drop sometimes look even better. Players are now sharing their special creations on social media.

All the outfits shown come completely without microtransactions and shop, while you can buy slightly prettier versions or “complete sets” directly if you don’t want to farm them yourself. If you are on the hunt for stylish Transmog, you should quickly find the items together.
Remember that items look different depending on the area in which you find them. Even if the stats are identical, a helmet from the peaks looks different from one from the steppe.
Diablo 4 is full of interesting stories from the community:
In Diablo 4 the Butcher is a notorious enemy that could appear at any time while you are exploring dungeons. Defeating him is no easy task at higher world levels. However, a player tricked the boss and defeated him easily – with a ladder.
Who is the Butcher? The Butcher originally comes from Diablo 1, but has been a constant presence in the Diablo series. In Diablo 4, he appears as a secret boss who can make your life difficult in dungeons or hellish floods.
He can drop good loot when you defeat him. However, this is easier said than done. With a lot of CC and damage, he is a powerful opponent, especially when he surprises players in the most unsuitable situations.

A ladder as the ultimate trick
How did the player trick the Butcher? The user ataya47 posted a video on Reddit in which he easily defeats the Butcher. It only took a simple ladder.
He plays the Sorceress with the Ice Shard core skill. As the Butcher chases him and deals visibly high damage, the player gets the idea to climb the ladder. Suddenly, the Butcher can no longer move, and the player kills him with ice shards.

How do other players react? The comments on Reddit are visibly having fun with the video and comment jokes against Blizzard’s nerf philosophy along with Obi-Wan memes.
stepdog65: It’s over Butcher, I have the high ground.
TechTuna1200: Blizzard’s new patch: The Butcher has been buffed and can now climb ladders.
You-cant-stop-us: Update: The Butcher can now eat ladders.
All the jokes about the patches probably refer to the many nerfs that Blizzard brings in Diablo 4. However, this philosophy was explained at the last Campfire event:
A French entrepreneur founded a startup at 25 that developed an app for League of Legends. He ran the startup without outside money or any employees. The app for LoL grew for 10 years and became increasingly popular. Now he achieved a spectacular sale.
What kind of app is this?
The company is called “Wargraphs”, the app for LoL is called “Porofessor”. A corresponding website can be found at “League of Graphs.” There are also corresponding apps for the LoL offshoots Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra.
The app helps LoL players track and improve their in-game statistics: You can check how popular certain champions are, which champion to use against them, which runes to use, and which jungle paths increase the chances of winning.
LoL players love to improve their game. According to Techcrunch the app, along with the website, has 1.25 million daily users, and the company made 12.3 million € in revenue last year.
He has also achieved a lot in the last 10 years but has not developed an app:
Start video
The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
Never taken outside money, never hired employees
The special thing is: Behind all the websites and apps is just one person, Jean-Nicolas Mastin.
He founded the company Wargraph at the age of 25 and has led it for 10 years without hiring employees or seeking outside money.
Who bought the company now? Wargraph was recently acquired for 50 million euros by a Swedish company, MOBA Network (via techcrunch).
The CEO says: Together with the founder, who joins the team, plans have already been made to further develop the project and to bring it to new games and markets.
With the acquisition of Mastin, they have now acquired a lot of expertise, which will help the company become the world’s best company in the gaming community sector.
Being smarter than the opponent because you have more info – that is the promise of Porofessor.
The developer himself now wants to develop a game after 10 years of app development. Something in the direction of Hearthstone.
But he also wants to do that without outside money.
People in the LoL environment have fascinating lives:
In Pokémon GO, a trainer is warning against using catch gadgets at the wrong moment – as he believes it cost him his Master Ball.
What is the problem? In Pokémon GO, there is the daily adventure incense, an item that allows you to get special spawns for 15 minutes while walking.
The big win of these 15 minutes is currently the rare Galar birds that can appear randomly. However, they are difficult to catch and tend to flee. That’s why some trainers are currently using their new Master Ball for these monsters, which guarantees to catch them. So did a trainer on reddit.
But the user ExtensionEgg7233 was quite surprised when he tried to catch his new Galar Zapdos: Because apparently his autocatcher, the “PokéBall Plus”, had already selected it.
“I clicked on the Zapdos and used my Master Ball, but my Pokéball Plus must have already selected it,” the user describes. When trying to catch it with the Master Ball, he then received an error message stating that “the Pokémon could not be found, and now it’s no longer in my storage!” The Master Ball is supposed to catch every Pokémon for sure.
To make matters worse, the Master Ball was now also gone – and you only get one of those. That’s why the trainer warns against using the autocatcher in such situations with the daily adventure incense.
But other users are already reassuring him, saying: It’s okay, and the ball is likely not lost.

Trainers recommend the oldest gaming trick in the world for rescue
What do trainers say about this? In the comments, there are immediately some players who have an idea about the problem. Effectively they say: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
One user writes that he had exactly the same problem: Just reload your game, it’s not gone. I did the same thing when I went to work the other morning, and it reset when the game realized I hadn’t caught it (via reddit).
Another user refers to a friend who also had the problem with the adventure incense, which was resolved by reloading. He also mentions the support, which usually suggests exactly that first.
Moreover, the support of Pokémon GO often recommends the option Update game data for bugs and similar issues. You can find this in the advanced settings. It is supposed to be used when one detects problems in the game.
Another tip from an autocatcher user: One should first throw a berry at a Pokémon before attempting a catch. If the Gotcha has already detected the spawns, an error should appear now (via reddit). This way, one doesn’t even get tempted to throw the Master Ball.
Overall, trainers recommend to the user to use these options or, if in doubt, to contact support. However, whether it worked is still uncertain – the user has not provided further updates yet.
By the way: Some players in the thread report having caught Galar birds with the autocatcher just like that. So there does seem to be a chance of success.
The new MMORPG Blue Protocol launched on June 14 in Japan. It will only come to us in 2024 and is expected to be released for Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch couldn’t wait that long and has already played it.
Since 2019, I have been following Blue Protocol very closely and absorbing everything I can find. During the last tests, I watched live streams for hours to get a feel for the MMORPG. With the release in Japan, I sensed my chance. After all, theoretically even without a VPN, you can play from Germany.
While there were significant login problems during the first two days, I made good use of the weekend to look at the essential content of Blue Protocol. And I am very enthusiastic.
Whether it’s the combat system, movement, boss fights, or graphics – each of these aspects impresses me. Only regarding the grind do I have a bit of criticism, and I can’t comment on the story because unfortunately, I don’t speak a word of Japanese.
Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and tries every new title. He has invested around 12 hours of gameplay into the Japanese version of Blue Protocol.
Fun from the first second, even if I can’t recommend every class
Even before the actual character creation, I am thrown into a kind of intro sequence. There, I slash away a few enemies as a ghost-like creature and familiarize myself with the general controls. The game is played classically in third-person view and with WASD.
Then comes character creation, where I have various options to individualize my appearance. With 14 different hairstyles and 15 different hair colors, the options are okay, but could also be more detailed. Especially when I compare the editor with Black Desert, I miss many sliders and adjustment options. What a pity.
After that, I choose my favorite from five different classes. I started my journey with the Twin Striker, who wields two axes and plays very dynamically. He – and the Bow Hunter in ranged combat – are my absolute recommendations for beginners.
However, my class choice is not final, because similar to Final Fantasy XIV, I can switch my character’s class if I want. However, I level each one independently and can only switch between them in towns. Both in Japan and with us, there are several character slots, so you can create a separate character for each class.

Blue Protocol presents the character editor in the trailer
In the game world itself, I enjoyed every single second with my character. Right at the beginning, I get to prove my combat skills against a werewolf boss with a huge club. The enemy’s attacks are so clearly recognizable that I can easily avoid all damage with an elegant dodge roll (default the CTRL key).
I counter with two attacks on the mouse buttons and a quick axe strike on the “Q” key. The beauty of the combat system is that I can also jump and execute some attacks from the air.
I hop, roll, and slash through the first groups of enemies and haven’t had this much fun with a combat system in a long time. Overall, the number of abilities is not that large – 4 weapon abilities, 2 pet abilities, the 2 mouse buttons, and one ultimate – but somehow I’ve never missed any further abilities. This may also be because the cooldowns are quite short.
Some players report that the combat system becomes a bit repetitive over the course of the game, and that the fun diminishes. However, I can’t confirm that at least after 12 hours of gameplay and about 40 hours of watched live streams and videos – on the contrary.
Here you can check out gameplay of my class Twin Striker:

Blue Protocol Twin Striker Gameplay
Especially due to the clear animations of the enemies, I always felt that the combat system rewards personal skill significantly, which motivated me to read the enemies even better.
Only with the Crusher – a class with a large, clunky hammer – can I understand the criticism. Here, the animations are quite slow, and after just a few minutes, I desperately wanted to switch back to my Twin Striker.

A highlight of the game are the small world events that I have really enjoyed in Guild Wars 2. Right in the starting area, bosses can appear that have a lot of health points. Within a few minutes, around 15 players gathered at this boss and pounded on it – all at levels 2 to 4.
Although the bosses in the low-level range are not a big challenge, it immediately creates a multiplayer atmosphere that often gets lost in modern MMORPGs. And despite Blue Protocol being heavily instanced, I never felt alone at any time.
Especially the first city, which I have to keep returning to for the first quests, was always populated. There, up to 200 players can find their place. In the areas, only 30 players are active at the same time, but those aren’t particularly large. In fact, this number is more than sufficient; otherwise, we would constantly snatch quest mobs away from each other.
If you want to go into the areas as a group, you also have no problems. You can press a button in the group interface, and then you will all be ported together to a version of the area, similar to how it works with overflow in Lost Ark.
At level 3, the main quest leads directly to the first dungeon, which is meant to be completed alone. It’s not really difficult, but it gives a good impression of what I can look forward to in the endgame. Because the final boss already has several abilities that can charge at me or throw me to the ground.
Already at level 9, the first dungeon managed to actually kill me. During the final boss fight, several small adds joined in, and stones rained down from the ceiling. Once these stones hit me and stunned me. Consequently, I was beaten by the adds and the boss and quickly lay in the dirt.
In attempt 2, everything went smoothly.
But these dungeons were just a taste of what’s to come. I’ve seen some videos of later instances, including raids for 20 or 30 players. The fights there look really fun. Here you can check out such a raid:

Unfortunately, I haven’t progressed much further than level 11 with the Twin Striker and level 5 with most other classes. This is also because, in between, you need a certain gear score for the next content. Especially at level 11, you hit a barrier that needs to be overcome.
For this, I have to grind a dungeon multiple times to earn materials for upgrading the weapon and level my Imajinns. For that, there are special quests, or you kill the same elite monsters repeatedly. Since you only get mats dropped by the mobs and no better equipment, upgrading sometimes feels a bit monotonous.
The developers have significantly adjusted the drop rates compared to the beta, so the grind is no longer as endless as before. However, it still happens that you have to defeat monsters dozens of times, even for some regular quests.
The first mount in the game is this beautiful fox.
There are a few things I wish I had known earlier to spare me some frustration. This includes that I should collect all materials I encounter in the open world as early as possible. Additionally, the adventure boards with optional quests are important for quickly leveling up.
Leveling the adventure rank, which exists in addition to the actual class level, is also essential. Here, I unlock general things like mounts, which greatly facilitates movement in the game world.
The shop is borderline, but could be very different for us
A point of criticism for the Japanese version is definitely the shop. You can purchase items for real money that increase the chance of more gem slots when crafting weapons. Weapons randomly have between 2 and 4 slots.
Additionally, there is an item for real money that allows you to retrieve gems used in weapons to use them in new ones. There is no free version of this.
Lastly, the gacha elements are criticized. Although they are purely cosmetic – such as outfits – the chances are said to be so low that one might end up spending 500 euros or more for a favorite skin.
Blue Protocol brings fresh air to the MMORPG drought
For almost 9 years, we have been experiencing a phase that many call the “MMORPG drought”. In 2010, it still seemed like we could expect new releases regularly:
In 2011, SWTOR was released
In 2012, Guild Wars 2 followed
In 2014, ESO, WildStar, and Blade & Soul were released
But since 2014, it has been rather lean. The major highlights were Black Desert, New World, and Lost Ark. And Blue Protocol can outshine them all.
Especially in the combat system, it picks the best from all titles. It relies on action, but does without the multitude of abilities and combos from BDO. At the same time, dodging and tactics are extremely important, as in New World. When it comes to instances and bosses, it takes a little from Lost Ark. Large raids with 30 players are also their own highlight.
Of all four mentioned titles, Blue Protocol makes the best impression regarding “mass market appeal” due to its gentle introduction, third-person perspective, and lack of PvP. Also, players from other titles like Genshin Impact can find their way around here without any problems.
Since ESO and Guild Wars 2, I haven’t had so much fun
Blue Protocol is a beautiful anime game with a very fun and fluid combat system. From the very first second, it has given me immense joy to beat up enemies and dodge all strong attacks myself. I had such a good feeling last in 2012 with Guild Wars 2, even though the combat systems are hard to compare. Blue Protocol is much more action-oriented, but offers much fewer abilities.
The early dungeons and events in the open world directly gave me a multiplayer feeling, quite different from Tower of Fantasy, the anime MMORPG from 2022. The strong focus on the story ensures that you progress well even when playing alone. So if you enjoy playing Genshin Impact or Tower of Fantasy, you will likely enjoy Blue Protocol as well.
While you need a fondness for grind and the shop is justly criticized, I can currently overlook both because the fights and the instances are so much fun. It’s really cool that the next class is set to come out in August. New content is certainly in the works.
I miss arena PvP a little to prove my skills against other players. For pure PvE fans, however, it is by far the best MMORPG released since 2014.

Microsoft has built a secret restart into Windows. It’s well hidden because it allows you to reboot your system while bypassing all security systems.In some emergency situations, this can save you from a “cold reboot.”
Windows has a hidden key for emergency restart in case everything goes wrong. Microsoft introduced this switch back with Windows Vista. That was 16 years ago.
The emergency restart is designed to rescue your computer from a situation where an application or software has blocked your computer so severely that you cannot restart your PC normally.
Emergency restart as a last resort when (almost) everything is stuck
In a normal restart, Windows tries to close all programs before restarting the system. The emergency restart, on the other hand, shuts down your PC immediately without further warning, then starts it up again, bypassing the problems.
However, there is one problem: Your system must still be somewhat usable; otherwise, the emergency restart won’t work. If you can no longer click on menus or if CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn’t work, then this “tip” won’t help you much.
This is how you use the emergency restart in Windows:
First, press the classic combination CTRL + ALT + DEL.
In the bottom right, you now have three small icons for network and accessibility options and a power icon.
If you hold down the CTRL key and click the power icon, you’ll get a new screen.
This is the screen for the emergency restart. If you click OK, the computer will restart directly and without detours.
However, note that with this type of restart, the system is restarted completely without saving data. If you have your tax return open and haven’t saved it for 2 hours, then it will likely be gone after a restart.
Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore is currently in an open beta and allows you to test the new survival MMO with pure PvE for a week. MeinMMO editor Maik played a round with the creative director Hauke Gerdes and talked about innovations.
What is there to see here? Starting from July 18, 2023, Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore will go into early access. Before that, you can take a look at the game as part of the “Steam Fest”, which takes a unique approach to its survival concept.
There is no PvP like in most major representatives of the genre. ARK, Conan Exiles, or Rust offer a lot of PvE, but you often notice that the focus is to some extent on PvP.
Coreborn takes a different path: pure PvE. A survival game with a strong focus on the social components of gaming – without forcing you to interact with unknown players.
It should be good to meet another player. You get double wood from a tree, you can help each other in battles, and if you need a base in the mountains for your grind excursions, you can ask the local town if they will take you in.
For an in-depth look into the game and the vision behind Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore, check out our videos featuring the interview with Hauke Gerdes. You will see a lot of the world, get insights into the gameplay, and Hauke explains innovations compared to previous tests.
The complete interview is divided into three parts:
The vision of the survival MMO and the new combat system
The world, events, and the revised building system
City attacks, NPCs, and weapon crafting
Here you will find the individual videos, starting with Part 1:

Many PC games are released in a deplorable state. A developer has now explained why PC gamers always receive the worst version.
The current situation is difficult for PC gamers. On one hand, there are a whole bunch of big games worth playing for PC gaming. On the other hand, many new PC releases are struggling with technical problems. A silver lining is Diablo 4, which has been spared from major issues.
The online magazine DigitalTrends has now asked a developer why PC ports are so bad. And he explained that this is mainly due to the computers of the gamers. Because they are all completely different. And that causes problems for developers.

Diablo 4 Beta: Performance and fun are on point, but important questions remain unanswered – The conclusion of the MeinMMO editorial team
“The problem lies in the variety of different configurations”
Marc Whitten is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Unity Create. In an interview with DigitalTrends, he explains that many problems arise because every gamer uses a different configuration.
He explains that “the sheer variety and variability of the PC configurations on which games are played can… definitely throw up unexpected problems.” Whitten also points to “different operating systems and new driver updates, heat and latency, as well as user adjustments” as factors that can contribute to this problem.
He claims, as DigitalTrends reports, that games “are generally extensively tested during development.” The problem lies in the multitude of different configurations and not with the developers.
Because there are many details to consider that can look different for every PC gamer:
What operating system is being used?
Which version of the operating system is installed?
Which drivers are installed and is everything up to date?
Which BIOS settings are enabled?
What additional software for mouse, keyboard, and headset is installed?
Every gamer who has ever assembled a computer knows how many different components can be chosen when building a PC. RAM and motherboards are available from dozens of manufacturers, the same goes for graphics cards. Additionally, there are detail questions.
The PS5 or Xbox is bought as “off-the-shelf” products: The consoles always look the same inside. The exception may be the SSD, which players can later install in their PS4 or PS5.
Xbox and PlayStation are easier to optimize because the hardware remains the same
The problem lies in the multitude of different configurations that developers have to test. Because it feels like every gaming PC looks different and every person installs different software or uses a different operating system. However, for reasons of time or money, not all configurations can be considered.
Because in addition to the PC, at least 2 more platforms need to be supported, Xbox and PlayStation. After all, every player wants to start right at release and not watch Xbox or PlayStation players game.
Editorial note: In the original version of the text, the headline suggested that consumers themselves are to blame for bad PC ports, as it allowed too much room for interpretation. The headline was adjusted to clarify the contents of the interview.

A desperate PS5 player is trying to avert the inevitable with an online petition and demands that Bethesda’s upcoming RPG Starfield be released for the PS5.
What kind of game is this? Starfield is one of the most significant games of the year, not only for Microsoft and Bethesda. The developers leave no doubt about how big the sci-fi RPG is supposed to be and showcase it in elaborate presentations.
But there’s a catch: Starfield will only be released for PC and Xbox Series X/S, a release for the PS5 is not planned. This doesn’t sit well with some PlayStation players, as Bethesda’s RPG studio is celebrated on Sony’s console for franchises like Fallout, Doom, and The Elder Scrolls.
Now a PlayStation player has made a desperate attempt to bring Starfield to PlayStation through a petition – presenting an absurd demand.
Start video
Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer
Desperate PS5 Player Lives the Console War
What is this petition about? The user “Benjamin Dickey” has launched a petition on the petition website change.org titled “Make Starfield a PS5 Exclusive”. With this petition, the user calls for the space RPG to be released for the PS5 contrary to the current release plan.
Furthermore, the petition states that Starfield should only be released for the PS5 and not for Xbox. This is intended to punish Microsoft and Xbox players. But that’s not all: besides Starfield, all future Bethesda games should also only be released for PlayStation consoles.
The digital petition was launched on June 15, 2023, and in four days, it managed to collect just over 1,000 signatures (as of June 19, 2023, 3:30 PM).
How promising is the petition? Absolutely not at all. We probably don’t need to mention this, but it is completely unlikely that Starfield will become a PS5 Exclusive.
It is quite possible that the entire petition, including the reasons stated in the text, is just a joke; the statements of the petition creator cannot be taken too seriously.
Today, on June 20th, the Spotlight Hour featuring Sunkern starts in Pokémon GO. You will receive more candies. We will show you everything about the start, shiny, and bonuses of the event in this overview.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For the duration of 60 minutes, a Pokémon appears significantly more often in the wild. There is a bonus that can affect candies, XP or stardust. Niantic sets which combination of Pokémon and bonus it will be on a monthly basis. Every Tuesday it rotates.
Today you will encounter the Pokémon Sunkern from the second generation. Its evolution is Sunflora.
Spotlight Hour on June 20th
When does it start? As every Tuesday, the Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? Almost everywhere in the wild, you will encounter the Pokémon Sunkern. If you want to increase your spawns, you can light a lure.
You will also receive double the amount of candies for sending Pokémon. This counts for all Pokémon sent during the event time.
Today marks the third Spotlight Hour in June 2023. Another event is still ahead this month. What to expect next Tuesday will be shown in the overview:
Can you catch shiny Sunkern? Yes, you can find and catch shiny Sunkern in Pokémon GO. If you’re lucky, you might catch one during today’s Spotlight Hour. However, note that the chances are not increased.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? If you are looking for strong attackers, you can safely ignore the Spotlight Hour today. Neither Sunkern nor Sunflora are fighters you need for your raids or in PvP.
However, the candy bonus is worthwhile. Those with a full collection can tidy up and send Pokémon during the event. You will at least receive double the candies. Shiny hunters can test their luck and hope for a shiny Sunkern.
There has been movement in the streaming scene. A new competitor to Twitch with strong connections to gambling is poaching some of Twitch’s biggest streamers. The platform is likely concerned about the MMORPG giants from Twitch, Asmongold (WoW, Diablo 4). For him, the question doesn’t seem to be whether he will switch, but rather how much money he will get for making a switch.
This is the situation:
The Kick friend Trainwreck announced in March (via twitter) that Kick would present 6 “new arrivals” that would shock Twitch and all friends of Twitch.
The MMORPG streamer Asmongold has now directly responded to whether he will switch.
Start video
Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”
“It depends on how much”
Asmongold says: The popular streamer hinted on June 17, after xQc’s switch, that he is extremely busy and has to take care of many things and have many discussions.
Ultimately, he said:
Are we switching platforms? Many people have asked me if I’m going somewhere else. People ask me all the time. Hmm … it depends on how much. So, you know, let’s see what happens. So, yeah. I mean, I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.
These are the promises: Even though Asmongold hesitates to give a clear answer, he gives his viewers two promises in case he switches:
He will continue to stream consistently – there will be no break
He will not sign an exclusive deal with other platforms, so he will still be visible on Twitch, even if he spends most of his time on Kick or YouTube
It comes down to the streamers saying: “Yes, I might switch, but the money has to be right.” After all, Twitch is a reliable source of income through Prime subscriptions and regular viewers. If streamers leave this safe harbor and venture into uncharted waters, there needs to be a significant amount of money waiting. Ideally enough money to change their life forever and eliminate any risk.
The tweet came immediately after the deal with xQc was announced:

With this answer, “It depends on how much they offer me,” streamers keep all options open and want to increase their market value. Ultimately, streamers are individual businesses and closely observe what the competition is doing and who is making how much.
If Asmongold knows that xQc is worth $70 million guaranteed and $30 million as a bonus from Kick, he will take that as a guideline when he negotiates with Kick himself.
Right now, there is a lot of money in the air, which everyone can perceive, including Asmongold.
In Diablo 4 there are three types of items you need to make your hero powerful. One type is known as “Holy Items.” We will show you where to find these blessed items and what makes them so special.
What are Holy Items? In Diablo 4, there are three types of items you can obtain:
Normal Items
Holy Items
Powerful Items
Depending on which world level you select and how lucky you are when looting, you can receive not only normal items but also holy and powerful items. These are not only stronger, they also come with good bonuses that further strengthen your hero.
We will now show you how to obtain holy equipment and outline their special features.
Moreover, we will show you why you should definitely check every basement in Sanctuary:

Diablo 4: Holy Items – Locations and Special Features
Where do I find Holy Items? To get Holy Items, you need to play at world level 3. To unlock this, you need to have completed the following:
Complete the Diablo 4 campaign
Complete the dungeon “Cathedral of Light”
After that, you go to the World Statue of Kyovashad and switch to the third level. Now you can obtain Holy Items from all possible sources – including bosses, chests, and the Curiosities merchant. Essentially, anything that gives you loot can provide you with holy items.
Holy items gain a radiant effect on their icon
Why are Holy Items so special? Holy Items provide stronger bonuses alongside their normal variant. You can receive visually identical items, but their holy versions will have better stats. Here’s what you should know:
Holy Items have random and additional affixes
Instead of 5, there can even be 7 affixes
More powerful than average
Holy Items are always more powerful than normal items but weaker than powerful items
Holy Items have no specific rarities
They can drop in all kinds of rarities
Items can drop with a value over 650
If you are looking for strong items for your hero, then try to obtain holy equipment. They will most likely have an item value of over 650 points
In addition to the items, the XP bonuses and necessary XP amounts are also important. We have looked at all the important sources for XP maximization and listed how much XP you need to gain to reach the maximum level of Diablo 4.
On Reddit, a player shares a heartwarming story about how he helped others reach World Tier 4 in Diablo 4 and even learned something in the process.
What tips are these? Diablo 4 offers many sources for decent loot, and one of them is the so-called “gambling.” Through events, you can receive “Murmuring Obols” and exchange them for random loot at your trusted curiosity dealer.
The dealers are found in every capital city, and you can recognize them by the money bag symbol with a question mark. The dealer spits out a lot of junk but is also generous with providing Legendaries and strong items with high item levels. Unique monsters, by the way, have the highest item power.
Reddit user “AwesomePrawn” guided the 70-year-old player “Bad JuJu” through the final dungeon for World Tier 4 and picked up some tips for “gambling”:
Pay attention to item edges when gambling – they can also be “Holy” or “Empowered”
“Holy” or “Empowered” purchases can be stronger than the regular ones
Actually, the curiosity dealer only changes his items when the dealer reset occurs. However, if you switch to a friend’s world, you will find a different offer here. If you want “Empowered Shoes” but your dealer doesn’t have any – look in other worlds.
“Bad JuJu” even said you could just log out for a moment and log back in, and the offer would change. I tested that immediately, but it unfortunately didn’t work for me. However, there was a different offer in the world of a fellow player.
By the way, it doesn’t help to visit a curiosity dealer in another capital city. They all have the same offer. Additionally, you need a certain minimum level for items – “Empowered” curiosities are only available from level 73. “Unique” items are not available here.
There are players who don’t use “gambling.” Others run past dungeons. However, both can be rewarding:

If you have any questions or tips about “gambling,” please write a comment.
The tips from “Bad JuJu” have been well received on Reddit. Just the note that you can buy “Holy” items there has helped some. User wigglez-84 writes, “I discovered the edges last night. It changed how I buy items.”

Antonia “Reved” Staab is currently the largest German-speaking streamer on Twitch. In a stream, she discussed how the platform Kick is currently luring major US streamers from Twitch and said: This will also happen in Germany. German streamers have received offers from Kick starting at over $10 million.
This is the situation:
The gambling-related platform Kick has poached two of the biggest Twitch streamers in the USA, xQc and Amouranth, over the weekend. xQc reportedly received a non-exclusive 2-year contract worth $70 million, with the option for it to become $100 million.
In Germany, the platform has not yet made such a big splash. Aside from a few gambling streamers who found no home on Twitch after the ban on Stake, it is not known that major streamers have switched to Kick.
However, according to information from Reved, this is expected to change within six months.

Kick is reportedly offering German Twitch streamers $10 million
This is what Reved says about Kick in Germany: In a stream from June 17, shortly after xQc’s switch to Kick, the top German streamer Reved addresses the topic.
She quickly clarifies: Even though one cannot trust the amounts that are publicly mentioned 100%, Kick is indeed throwing around a lot of money:
They pay incredibly well, and I can already imagine the contract. In the German-speaking area, streamers also receive double-digit million offers for deals. So it will likely be similar in the English-speaking area and scale even more. I can well imagine [xQc’s deal].
This is what she says about the switches: Reved becomes a bit more nervous in the stream, starts to dissect things, and says:
There are now going to be “huge signings,” you will also be very shocked by the German signings. Things are happening behind the scenes right now. That’s why I’ve been so restless the whole time, because so much is going on. Because you hear so much all the time, it is insane. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything, but just wait for another six months. Then the world will look completely different. Let’s see what we do, friends.

“This is all money from people who have been ripped off by gambling”
When asked if she would switch, Reved reacted negatively, at least she would not switch to Kick. The moral values of Kick are very difficult for her:
The money is all gambling money. The money is from people who have been ripped off. That’s why it’s a different situation for me. But I would consider other platforms if I receive offers. I’ve also received offers.
The hottest candidate for a switch in Germany is undoubtedly MontanaBlack, but a switch of top German streamers like Trymacs or EliasN97 also seems quite possible. The moral standards that Reved upholds do not seem to be as important to some of her colleagues:
Last week, the US League LCS started for League of Legends after a delay due to a player strike. However, the team “100 Thieves” was one player short. Therefore, a coach had to put down the clipboard and grab the mouse and keyboard again.
This was the situation for 100 Thieves:
100 Thieves signed a Midlane talent from the Korean team Gen G as a replacement for Bjergsen: Quid (19). Gen G. has “Our Lord and Savior” Chovy in the Midlane and won’t need a replacement for years. However, Quid had visa issues and therefore the 19-year-old was not yet in the USA at the start of the league.
Out of desperation, 100 Thieves put the assistant coach Erlend “Nukeduck” Holm (27) in position. The Norwegian had ended his career in 2022, but was at least a long-time professional Midlaner.
The problem: The opponent Flyquest had also just bought fresh talent in Korea, securing the 19-year-old South Korean VIcLa from KT Rolster. And he had his visa.
Could the 27-year-old coach really compete against a young super talent from South Korea?

How did that turn out? The old coach and his team wiped the floor with the opponents from FlyQuest. They actually achieved a “flawless” victory, like in Mortal Kombat. With a score of 17-0-20, they defeated the opponents in 30 minutes.
Nukeduck played on Ahri with a score of 1-0-5. His opponent, the 19-year-old from South Korea, played with Jayce with a score of 0-3-0.
