A lively discussion has recently been sparked on Reddit, where a user calls on the developer Blizzard to offer the services in the shop for the MMORPG World of Warcraft as part of the subscription. The thread already has 700 comments and is currently receiving support from many fans of the MMORPG.
What is it about? The Blizzard shop includes not only offers for its in-house games but also services for its titles. Particularly, World of Warcraft offers several services, although character customization is no longer included:

In the Reddit thread, user MothPreacher expressed concerns about the shop services in relation to the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He is not impressed after the developer Blizzard, in his perception, praised for improvement and wanted to listen more to the players.
He hopes that Blizzard will eventually pay more attention to the services that mean zero workload, but have ridiculously high prices.

Server transfers and name changes are particularly important to players
How did the users react? The Reddit user dirtySyko commented on the thread with a lengthy post, which was honored with over 1,500 upvotes and seems to reflect the tenor of the discussion. Specifically, he criticizes certain services as well, stating that things like server transfer should be part of the subscription (via Reddit).
He further states that this service should be possible at least once a month without additional costs in the subscription. He justifies it by saying that it should not be one’s fault if the server eventually dies.
On the other hand, he points out that Blizzard has already implemented many cross-server functions that minimize the desire for a server change. Nevertheless, a dead server negatively impacts the player’s experience in this fantasy world. What the Cross-Faction-Play means for you in the meantime, you can find out here.
Finally, the user claims that there is nothing cosmetic or no option to play another character.
The user Ehkoe further addresses the server transfer: It’s actually disgusting how much it costs to transfer servers when you have alts in WoW. He further says that Blizzard should at least have the decency to allow transferring as many characters as possible with just one purchase of the service – as is the case with FFXIV (via Reddit).
The Reddit user Drakknfyre also addresses the renaming of characters. He claims to remember that the price for the service was originally intended to prevent abuse of the service (via Reddit).
What is your opinion on the subject? Are the fees for certain services exaggerated, or should the services be part of the subscription? Write your thoughts in our comments.
On Steam, the alpha test for a new multiplayer game in the Warhammer universe is currently underway, where you compete against each other with armed vehicles.
What kind of game is this? With “Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks” (PC), the Canadian development studio Caged Element Inc. is releasing a racing game in the Warhammer universe, reminiscent of the concept of Crossout.
You throw yourselves into a map with seven different vehicles that visually resemble the post-apocalyptic vehicles from Mad Max, battling for victory. You use various weapons to destroy your opponents’ vehicles.
Your goal is to collect as many points as possible by destroying vehicles from the opposing team. To do this, you can capture different areas to earn more points for your kills. The team with the most points at the end wins.
The playable vehicles are also divided into three classes, each bringing different play styles. Besides the so-called “Killers”, there will also be a classic support and tank class.
Currently, an alpha test for Speed Freeks is taking place on Steam, where up to 16 players can compete in multiplayer. You can see the trailer for the playtest here:

“A great year to be a Warhammer 40k fan”
What do fans say about the trailer? On the YouTube channel of the online magazine GameSpot, many Warhammer fans are excited about the announcement of the game and the crazy lifestyle of the Orks. Here, Speed Freeks is also compared to Mad Max or games like Twisted Metal.
shahdangalahad698: “The Ork culture has never disappointed us.”
vatiti9573: “The feeling of speed I had while watching the trailer reminded me of the same feeling I had while watching a Let’s Play of Mad Max (the video game). It looks like Mad Max in space, and that says a lot about the potential of this game and how well they understood the philosophy of the Orks.”
ptassa270: “It makes me feel that Orks like their vehicles just as much as their dakka.”
dustinwilkinson828: “This looks like the best Warhammer game they have released in a long time, if not ever.”
Sarrow112: “I am surprised this is not already a game. Orks in a ‘Twisted Metal’-like game just sounds good.”
kingaudi33: “This is a great year to be a Warhammer 40k fan.”
In general, many Warhammer fans seem to believe that the Orks and their way of life are perfect for the crazy concept of a game where players wage war with heavily armed vehicles.
How can you participate in the Alpha test? To participate in the alpha test of Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks, you need to request access on Steam.
With a bit of luck, you will soon receive confirmation that you have been granted access to the game test. After that, you can download the nearly 8 GB game on Steam.
Recently, a new shooter titled Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun was released in the Warhammer universe, featuring a charming retro look reminiscent of Doom:
The release of Diablo 4 is just around the corner, and many fans are discussing how they will approach the launch. Among them are surprisingly many older gamers who now hope to be able to introduce their children to “their” world.
The most important things about Diablo 4:
Diablo 4 will be released on June 6 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Pre-order customers of the more expensive editions can start playing as early as June 2. Here you can find all information about the release.
What about the parents? A mother shares on Reddit how much she looks forward to Diablo 4. She started with the first part back in the day. Now she is 43 and a single mother of three children, all of whom think she “is crazy” for looking forward to a “click to move” game.
Only her 12-year-old child has been convinced to give the game a chance with her. She wants her children to “love Diablo as much” as she does. When asked if the release is a “family event” for anyone else, she receives hundreds of comments within a few hours.
Among them are some users who feel the same: parents who want to game with their children or wish to introduce their children to their favorite hobby. One user even shares:
My husband and I met in WoW 14 years ago, but Diablo was his first RPG when he was young. So he was super excited about Diablo 3. It came out around the time I had our older son. […]
Our sons are now old enough to play with us and both have gaming PCs. All four of us got the Ashava kill in the slam. A little carrying from our side got them to level 20, but they dealt decent damage after I built them the build and gave them some gear. […]
We are considering starting a family-friendly clan in Diablo 4 for parents with children, right in Early Access.
There are even responses from users around 40 who have managed to get their own parents to play. They, too, would now like to take a look at Diablo 4.
Recently, Blizzard created anticipation for Diablo 4 with a new live trailer. The preload starts soon.

“I’m not sure I would recommend the game to children under 12”
Despite the joy of many parents, there are also concerns in the comments. Diablo is quite a “cruel” game and not necessarily suitable for younger children. Some parents share that they even want to bring their 7- or 8-year-old children to Sanctuary.
At least in Germany, Diablo 4 is only approved for ages 16 and has actually quite a few bloody scenes. However, the parents say: cutscenes will be skipped. They want to focus on the casting and exploring. That is justifiable.
Others recommend playing Diablo 4 on consoles. The versions for Xbox and PlayStation have crossplay, so you can better control what the children see.
For all parents whose children do not want to join in, there are also some tips. So they should give them a brief crash course on how to shop and cook or at least prepare food for the weekend when mom and dad are not available.
A user has a strange problem. When he turns on the shower, his monitor goes black. This annoys him because every time someone showers, he is left without a monitor.
The user De_Rabbid explained on Reddit about a strange phenomenon, which he supports with a short video: One can see him walking into the bathroom. Here one can see him turning on the shower. At the same moment, the monitor in the adjacent room goes black.
The owner of the shower and monitor is visibly annoyed. Because it is “damn annoying and hilarious every time someone showers here” and the monitor turns off. Imagine this: Your wife is showering next door and immediately your monitor goes black, and that during an important match.
Electric impulse causes disturbance
What causes the problem? The user uses a shower with an electric heater connected. These are systems that are often installed in existing houses without requiring major renovations. Because such systems only require a minimal intervention in the piping system. So someone explains:
When you turn on the shower, the heater could be activated, which could lead to electromagnetic interference or a slight electrical surge in the line, causing the display to go black.
Such electrical disturbances at the PC occur more often
What other disturbances are there? A gamer had to listen to strange voices from his computer that only disappeared after he turned off his speakers.
To at least prevent or filter out high-frequency disturbances, manufacturers have implemented a device in electrical cables that many of you have probably seen. Because such a small black cylinder can be found on almost every charging cable. What it does, you can read in the following article on MeinMMO:

In our Jhin guide, we show you everything you need to know about the champion in matches in the Summoner’s Rift. In the quick overview, we explain which runes are important for which playstyle, who you counter with Jhin, and who your most dangerous opponents are.
Additionally, we show you the strongest build including skill order so that you are well prepared.
Jhin Counters – Who is strong against him, who does he beat?
Counters against Jhin:
Draven

Tristana
Who is Jhin strong against?
Kalista
Ashe
Vayne
Best Runes for Jhin
What skill build is good?
As summoner spell, you take Flash and adjust the second one based on the enemy team and your supporter. Other options are: Exhaust, Ghost, Cleanse, or Heal.
By far the most popular rune setup for Jhin can be found here.
Skill Order: R>Q>W>E
Your most important skill is your Q ability. You use it for farming and to poke your opponents. Then follows your W and finally your E ability.
One option is to start putting your first point into the E ability only at level 5.
Mythic: Galeforce was for a long time THE Mythic item for Jhin. It is still very good on him, but another strong option is Youmuu’s Ghostblade and a more lethality-focused build or Infinity Edge for the really nasty critical hits.
Shoes: Almost always Boots of Mobility. There are very few situations where other shoes are more suitable.
Stormrazor: One of Jhin’s most important items. Many even build it first.
Rapid Firecannon: Gives you more range on your first shot, which deals even more damage in conjunction with Stormrazor.
The Collector: There’s nothing worse than when an opponent has a sliver of health left after your fourth shot and can escape. This item ensures that this happens much less frequently.
Lord Dominik’s Regards: Against champions who can take a lot of damage, you can’t go wrong with Lord Dominik’s.
3 quick tips for Jhin
Try to hit minions with your grenade (Q) that have low health. Each time the grenade kills a target, it deals more damage to the next one.
Always keep an eye on your ammo. If you need to reload, pull back.
Remember that you stay stationary during your ultimate and are left helpless against assassins. So don’t just pay attention to the enemies you want to catch with your ultimate.
As Jhin, you are capable of dealing incredibly high damage but are also extremely reliant on your positioning since you have no dashes or anything similar.

The developer and publisher LavaFlame2 has created an MMO that brings with it features like autoplay that are typically unpopular. Nevertheless, Legends of Idleon seems to be exactly what many players find great. What makes the game special, you will find out here.
What kind of game is this? IdleOn is a free idle MMO game on mobile and Steam, where you can form your own guild of characters that continue to play even when you are offline. The game offers classic MMORPG elements like quests, dungeons, equipment upgrades, and crafting.
How are players reacting? Although features like autoplay form the core element of this game, some players see this as a welcome convenience feature, avoiding the tedious and ongoing grind in MMORPGs and focusing on quests or dungeons.
Accordingly, the Steam ratings for the MMO are also good. Considering all reviews on Steam, they are at 88% and are thus rated very positively (via Steam).
On Reddit, the title also excites many fans. Some wonder what makes the game so appealing that many want to play it. In response to a new player’s inquiry, the developer writes (via Reddit):
Try to play it for about 30 minutes and you will either react with Ohh cool, I can’t wait to check back in tomorrow, craft new things and further explore the world (in which case you have understood the appeal of the game) or you will continue to wonder why everyone plays it, which means you simply don’t like it. It’s similar for me with country music.
Meanwhile, user mayasux finds the game great and claims that it might be the funniest idle game. Furthermore, the user says that he does not feel compelled to use paid currency, unlike in 95% of other idle titles (via Reddit).
What other features does it offer? The developer and publisher, who is actually just one person and calls himself LavaFlame2, promises an experience where quests and dungeons are the focus, and the grind of monsters or gathering materials is taken away from you. There are the following features (via Steam):
38 classes and over 600 unique skills
Guilds
Over 40 NPCs with over 135 quests
70 different locations covering various biomes, such as jungles, forests, deserts, oceans, sewers, caves, and more.
Character development is supposed to be diverse and free. You should be able to play as a barbaric fisherman who catches sea monsters and gathers resources. You can then hand these over to a druidic alchemist, who brews potions from them. With the potions, another player can then defeat a world boss as an assassin.
What do you think of Idleon? Is it a nice pastime or a full-fledged MMO? Share your thoughts in our comments.
Fortnite is not far from the start of Chapter 4 Season 3. For this reason, we show you everything important about the launch, the Battle Pass, and the leaks that are currently known in our overview.
Update, May 30: We have updated our overview with leaks about the Battle Pass. These show potential skins and weapons from Season 3.
When does the new season start? Fortnite will welcome a new season even after Chapter 4 Season 2. This time, the development team has set June 9, 2023, as the end date for Season 2, according to the Battle Pass menu. That would be a Friday.
As the past has shown, new seasons and chapters have always started on the weekends. Players then had enough time to dip in and check out the new features. It could be that Season 2 ends on June 9, and Season 3 then starts on June 10 or 11. Depending on complications and server downtime, the start could also be delayed.

There will also be many temples, as the teaser shows some stone entrances to temples or crypts that you might be able to enter.
Additionally, there is also a first-person mode (via twitter.com), which is already found in Fortnite’s data. This was predicted for Chapter 4 Season 2, but it has not yet been activated.
Animations are recognizable, as well as how the camera behaves in this mode. However, it is not known whether this feature will be activated in Season 3.

In October 2022, just 7 months ago, 50,000 people were still playing Steam Super People. The player numbers dropped drastically, so the Early Access is now being canceled and the servers will be shut down.
What kind of game is Super People? Super People is a classic Battle Royale, but players take on the role of characters with special superpowers. There are different modes, heroes with different abilities and unfortunately quite a bit of criticism.
The developers tried to address the criticism, made many changes over time, and even took the game offline temporarily to rework it fundamentally. In December 2022, they renamed it to Super People 2.
Here you can watch the trailer for a beta test:

Super People – Trailer zum letzten Beta-Test
Many changes, but little success
What do the developers say? In a message on Steam, the team addresses the community. Even after balancing adjustments, there are too few players, so the servers are expected to be shut down in August. The Early Access will not continue.
A look at the Steam statistics of Super People 2 shows how drastically the numbers have dropped. In October 2022, there were almost 50,000 players. In November, there were only 21,000 players. And a month ago, only 755 players.
What led to the numbers? According to 3DJuegos, one of the “most popular” complaints was that Super People has too many hackers. Especially Battle Royale games attract hackers, as they can influence the game for numerous participants with their interference.
Moreover, Battle Royale titles require a high number of players at a time. The low player numbers worldwide necessitate servers that are too far apart. This causes some of them to have a high ping, which can lead to lags.
The missing players were attempted to be filled by the developers with bots. Not really beneficial for the fun of “real” players, thus creating a vicious cycle: Too few players, too many bots, reduced fun, few players willing to engage with Super People.
However, fans criticize something else as well.
“With the third release, everything was over.”
How does the community react? A major point of criticism is that so many changes were made that players lost interest.
They should have never taken the game offline or made larger changes compared to the original beta version from 2021. People lost all interest when they did that. If they had kept it active, the “randomness” and crafting could have established themselves with the players, and the game could have continued to gain attention, as many big streamers played it.
Instead, they took it off the market, had a failure with the second release, then completely changed the game for a third release, and that was the end of everything.
On Reddit, there are several threads in which Super People players emphasize that they had a lot of fun in the game and are sad that the servers are now being shut down.
“FriedEngineer” writes in a Subreddit: “Not surprised, but disappointed at how everything has developed. It was unique enough, and I had a good time at first.” To which “GLang_edutainment” responds, “same feeling here, I had high hopes.”
In the message on Steam, the team thanks the players for their loyalty and hopes to see them “with further improved games after the Early Access.”
Some are looking forward to every new Battle Royale title, others find:
The pot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom serves only one purpose in the game: Link can cook delicious dishes with it. However, fans are being inventive and using the part as a module for their vehicles. This results in a significant advantage over vehicles without a pot.
What is the point of the pot? The mobile cooking station consists of a fire pit and a pan. When integrated into a vehicle, the two components remain connected, and the pan swings comfortably over the fire pit.
This flexible swinging is now being utilized by many players to create a kind of ball joint in their vehicles. The vehicles are one of many modes of transportation to explore the open world of Hyrule. Thanks to the pot, the vehicle can better absorb the bumps from the rough ground and move more effectively in the terrain.
In a trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can see what kind of uneven terrain awaits players:

How does the pot look in action? In a post on Reddit, user OneRunNoita shows how the part works in the vehicle. The pot can be attached directly between the wheel and the platform of the vehicle, making the movement smoother.
Crafting is an essential part of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The function lowers the game’s difficulty, as we can create new weapons and also modes of transportation. Thousands of combinations arise that fans must discover. This includes the ball joint pot.

Another player shows on Twitter how the movement with six such pots looks like. The vehicle seems to glide over the ground. No hill seems to be able to hinder the vehicle.
Normally, the vehicle would get stuck on larger hills, slowing down the speed. But thanks to the pot, even the rocky terrain seems to pose no problem for Link! So if you want to build such a vehicle yourself, you need to equip yourself with capsule machines that include the mobile cooking station.
The community is excited about the mobile cooking station
In the comment section of the Reddit post, user Arch3591 writes that the pot is actually one of the least popular devices from the capsule machine. However, he and many other users believe that this unloved device becomes extremely useful.
Perhaps the developers even intended for the pot to be used this way. But users think that the full potential has not yet been utilized. We can be excited to see what creative crafting ideas players will come up with next.
Nvidia has introduced a new AI service called Nvidia ACE. This AI is intended to primarily support game development and ensure that there are fewer boring characters.
Nvidia presented new technologies in the field of AI at Computex in Taiwan:
On the one hand, the new AI supercomputer platform called DGX GH200.
On the other hand, a new service called “Nvidia ACE for Games” aimed at the video game industry.
Especially the new service “ACE” has a lot to offer, as it is expected to provide many new possibilities for gaming.
Nvidia ACE could fundamentally change gaming
On May 28, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduced the new service called “Nvidia ACE for Games” at Computex in Taiwan, aimed at the video game industry.
ACE is intended to use AI to make background characters in games more natural and realistic. The AI is not only supposed to take care of the backstory but also ensure that you always receive the appropriate answers from the character in the game (via tomshardware.com)
How well does it work? Huang showcased a game demo in which an NPC named Jin, who runs a ramen noodle shop, speaks with a human player who asked him questions by voice. The replies were appropriate to the NPC’s backstory:
In the demo, the player enters Jin’s ramen shop and asks him (via voice output) how he is doing, and discusses with him that the area has a high crime rate.
Kai asks if he can help, and Jin responds that they need to deal with the criminal Kumon Aoki in the city, as he is responsible for the violence. Kai asks where he can find Aoki, and Jin tells him, after which the user goes on a search.
And other companies also see much potential in such opportunities. For instance, the giant Microsoft. The company behind the Windows operating system is working on a new AI that is supposed to make raid bosses significantly harder in the future. The AI learns from its mistakes and is expected to better adapt to your abilities:
In Pokémon GO the new season “Hidden Gems” starts on Thursday. Now there are first images that make the trainers puzzle. We at MeinMMO show you which new monsters the community suspects behind it.
Which season is it about?The current season of Rising Heroes is slowly coming to an end and will be replaced on June 1st by the new season called “Hidden Gems”. The contents expected for this have not yet been officially announced.
However, the developers published a teaser and a picture for the new season on their Twitter account on May 29, 2023, which caused some speculation in the community. Trainers believe they have discovered a hint for new monsters. We have summarized what they are below.
These hints does Niantic give for the new season
What does the teaser show? On the morning of May 29, the developers of Pokémon GO released an 18-second trailer for the new season on their Twitter account. They write (via twitter.com): “Discover what lies beneath the surface.” The video also bears the hashtag #HiddenGems, which reveals the name of the new season.

Initially, the video shows a wide sandy beach. The striking highlight is a bright red shovel stuck in the sand. After a Krabby crosses the frame, the camera pans, and we see a heap of pink and green shards. One of these shards is then picked up and examined closely by a woman. Next to Krabby, a Lucario can now be seen in the background.
Further hint for the new season: After the trainers made some initial assumptions due to the teaser for the new season, Niantic followed up with another image. This one shows a sandcastle surrounded by Marill, Shellder, Krabby, Clobbopus, and Wingull.

The tweet also carries the hashtag #HiddenGems, where the developers write (via twitter.com): “Watch your steps on the beach…”
This indicates that the theme in the coming months will revolve around the beach, sand, and water. Therefore, it is likely that you will encounter the corresponding monsters from this habitat.
However, based on experience, there will also be a debut of one or two Pokémon. Trainers believe they have already discovered hints about two new monsters and their evolutions.
Trainers suspect 4 new Pokémon for the season “Hidden Gems”
Possible release of Sankabuh: On social media, trainers are now speculating actively about the upcoming content of the new season. Many find the red shovel in the sand, which is prominently visible in the trailer, particularly striking.
This would fit perfectly with the Ghost and Ground-type Pokémon Sankabuh, which comes from the 7th generation of games. Sankabuh visually resembles a large pile of sand, with eyes and a giant hole as a mouth. It also carries a red shovel on its head.
It can also evolve into Colossand, which resembles a sandcastle in contrast to its pre-evolution. It has small towers on the sides that it can use as arms and is decorated with shells. The characteristic red shovel on its head can also be found on it. So the image with the sandcastle would fit for a release.
What else supports a release? In addition to the two hints in the tweets from Niantic, information about the sandpile Pokémon has also repeatedly been found in the game code in the past, which has not yet been used (via pokeminers.com). Therefore, some trainers are also finally speculating about a release in the comments.
GeologicalOpera: “In my head, ‘Castles Made of Sand’ by Jimi Hendrix was playing, and now I imagine him meeting a Sankabuh.”
landocalzonian: “Kingler is #2 of the water attackers without Crypto, and it looks like we are getting Sankabuh. But yes, aside from that, the spawns look pretty boring. I really miss the Dragon/Fairy event we had a few months ago…”
DramaticPaint: “Can’t wait to not get Sandygast because it will only spawn on beaches”
SredniEel: “I say it now: Sandygast will only be in eggs, and the hatching rate will be 0.0000000000001%.”
Trainers hope for a strong mysterious Pokémon
What Pokémon do trainers suspect? In addition to a release of Sankabuh, many trainers are also hoping for a debut of Diancie. This is a mysterious Rock and Fairy-type Pokémon from the 6th generation of games.
What supports Diancie? The trainers see the fitting hint in the colorful shards in the trailer for the new season. Especially the pink shards could hint at the crystals of the mysterious monster.
Diancie is a gray Pokémon that has a delicate upper body and a kind of stone as its lower body. It wears a white dress with a golden chain above. Its red eyes resemble diamonds, and it wears a kind of crown made of pink crystals on its head, which can also be found on its dress and lower body.
Even more noticeable are the pink diamonds in its Mega Evolution. In this form, the entire body is adorned with crystals. Trainers write in the comments on Reddit that this can only hint at a debut of Diancie:
krispyboiz: “I think the gems have more to do with Diancie.”
Dismembered_carrot: “The chances are good that it is Diancie.”
MyFurbyHitMySack: “Diancie is making its debut. Remember my words.”
When would a release be conceivable? There are already speculations about a possible release of the mysterious monster. The popular GO Fest is also coming up in the new season, which is among the biggest events in Pokémon GO. Trainers can usually secure a mysterious Pokémon through a special research during this event.
For this reason, it seems likely to many players that it will be added to the game for this occasion. This is also the case for the Reddit user geoffh2016, who writes (via reddit.com): “Weren’t there speculations that the GO Fest would bring Diancie? It could fit the theme (sand/jewels).”
Whether and when the suspected Pokémon will come into the game and what content will also await you in the new season remains to be seen for the moment. However, as soon as there is new information on this, you will find out from us at MeinMMO.
Which new monsters do you suspect behind the first images of the upcoming season? Are you also hoping that Diancie will finally find its way into the game? Or do you wish for another Pokémon? Let us know here in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
Anthem was supposed to be BioWare’s Destiny, but it died just 2 years after release. Now a developer talks about the shooter and says the team knew the game was not finished.
What is Anthem?
Anthem is a shooter created by the Canadian developer studio BioWare and was released on February 22, 2019, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
With Anthem, BioWare ventured into the successful concept of Destiny: brave heroes defend against monsters and dangers threatening humanity from a common outpost.
Players assume armored battle suits and fight with sci-fi weapons in a shared open world against various threats of the loot shooter.
What does the developer say now about Anthem? Ian Saterdalen is a game developer who worked for BioWare from September 2019 to March 2020. On Twitter, Saterdalen has now commented on the release of Anthem.
Saterdalen talks about the very short development time of Anthem, which according to him was just 15 months. He also states that the team knew the game was not finished.
We knew it was not finished because this game was literally developed in 15 months. That is outrageous for a game of this scope.
In the comments of the post, Saterdalen also addresses some statements from various Twitter users.
One user even praises the team, stating that the condition of Anthem was very impressive for only 15 months of development time and asks how they managed it. Saterdalen responds that many in the team worked over 90 hours per week during the 15 months.
Another user believed that EA pressured the developers to meet the deadline, but Saterdalen sees it differently:
I don’t think EA is to blame for everything. A developer and a publisher should have a healthy relationship of trust and transparency. It’s a two-sided relationship that I think was unsatisfactory on both sides.
Anthem shows the four different combat suits in the launch trailer
What was the problem with Anthem? Shortly after the release of Anthem, it was clear that the game could not meet the expectations of many fans. The game system could not convince. On Metacritic, the loot shooter had a weak score of 59 at release.
Anthem is also a topic that is often discussed in the MeinMMO editorial team. In May 2022, Leya Jankowski and Schuhmann discussed in the MeinMMO podcast the slow death of the shooter and why the loss of Anthem is so sad for the entire gaming community:
5 trailers to League of Legends have a total of over 1.7 billion views on YouTube. MeinMMO shows you which ones they are.
What kind of list is this? Riot Games puts a lot of work and effort into producing trailers and videos for League of Legends. The studio collaborates with well-known bands, has the champions of the MOBA perform songs, and promotes the most important tournaments of the game.
Many videos from Riot about League of Legends have several hundred million views. We have gathered the 5 LoL videos that have the most clicks on YouTube (as of May 26, 2023).

POP/STARS – Music video with the fictional band K/DA
Start video
League of Legends Music Video – POP/STARS
What kind of video is this? At some point over the last few years, Riot Games thought that developing successful games like League of Legends and Valorant wasn’t enough, and the decision was made to additionally become a production company for animated music videos.
For this, the company even created its own band from the champions of the popular MOBA. This band is called K/DA. However, it does not stand for kills, deaths, and assists, but for the three members of the band: Evelynn, Kai’Sa, and Akali.
The “trailer” is accordingly a music video for the song POP/STARS. The real musical part was taken on by Madison Beer, (G)I-DLE, Jaira Burns.
How many views does the video have? With over 533 million views, POP/STARS sits at the top of the LoL videos. Since its release in 2018, there have also been 5.9 million “likes” added (via YouTube).
Warriors, Worlds 2014 – Music video

League of Legends music video: Worlds 2014 – Warriors
What kind of video is this? The World Championships are the largest esports tournaments in League of Legends. The best teams in the world compete against each other once a year to determine the sporting dominance among themselves at the “Worlds”.
Riot Games likes to release animated videos with musical accompaniment in this context. For the Worlds 2014, the development studio landed the band “Imagine Dragons.” The subsequent collaboration around the song “Warriors” was very well received by many fans.
How many views does the video have? The LoL video for Warriors collected over 401 million views and 3.4 million “likes” on YouTube. In a comment with over 33,000 likes, a user also mentions that although he does not play LoL, the video is so good that he wants it now.
What kind of video is this? Like “Warriors”, “RISE” was released as part of the LoL World Championship and was intended to excite players and fans about the tournament in 2018.
Like POP/STARS, RISE was written and produced by Riot Games’ music team. The musical implementation was handled by The Glitch Mob, Mako, and The Word Alive.
How many views does the video have? The video for RISE has been viewed a strong 340 million times since 2018 (via YouTube).
Legends Never Die, Worlds 2017 – Music video
Start video
League of Legends Music Video: Worlds 2017 – Legends Never Die
What kind of video is this? “Legends Never Die” is also one of the annually released hype music videos from Riot Games with which the studio wants to promote the Worlds, in this case, the World Championship 2017.
The music of the video was once again produced by Riot Games and arranged by the American pop/rock band “Against the Current.”
On the YouTube channel of League of Legends, there is another video for “Legends Never Die,” which, however, contains no animations but only a still image. However, this version includes the official audio file. The video for the Worlds 2017 has added audience cheers that are supposed to represent ecstatic viewers.
How many views does the video have? The video for Legends Never Die has 240 million views on YouTube. The second version with the official audio file has 229 million and therefore is also just ahead of the fifth video on the list.
What kind of video is this? Enemy is a video for the successful “League of Legends” series “Arcane” and was published for its marketing on the League of Legends channel in 2021.
Musically, Riot Games relied on a proven successful recipe and chose once again the band Imagine Dragons, who were additionally supported by the American rapper JID.
How many views does the video have? The LoL music video for Enemy collected nearly 228 million views on YouTube since its release in October 2021.
Thus, Enemy is at the bottom of our list, but still impressively demonstrates the reach of League of Legends.
If you want to watch even more trailers, we have summarized the 5 most viewed trailers from the PlayStation Showcase 2023 in an overview:
World of Warcraft is being completely overhauled. The WoW analyst Bellular is sure of this – and he has plenty of evidence.
World of Warcraft has changed significantly over the past few years. After a downward trend with “Battle for Azeroth” and “Shadowlands”, many things have changed for the better in Dragonflight. However, these improvements currently only apply to a relatively small part of the game world. We at MeinMMO have also speculated that Blizzard is already working behind the scenes on a complete overhaul of the old world.
But the YouTuber Bellular is also sure that the WoW developers are working on something very big – and he provides even more clues for this.

A large part of the evidence consists of the “assets” found in the game data, according to Bellular. Many overhauls of “old” buildings can be found. The original human buildings, like those that shape the city of Goldshire, have received a complete renewal with modern graphics – so far, however, these innovations are only in the game data, not yet in the game world.
In recent patches, more and more overhauls have been found. Orc fortress parts in a new design, tents of the night elves in HD resolution, and much, much more.
Additionally, many “old” things have already been updated in recent years. The Arathi Basin and the Warsong Gulch have received a new look. In “Battle for Azeroth”, many new buildings in the style of the Horde and Alliance were created that fit well into the old world.
Numerous old enemy types have received a modern HD design, especially Gnolls, Furbolgs, and Centaurs. Gone are the days when these creatures consisted only of pixel mush.
City guards of Ironforge have already received an HD update, with new armor and high-resolution details – but so far the model remains hidden in the game data.
All these updates that Blizzard has used in other parts of the world could affect all of Azeroth and “facilitate” a complete renewal, so that this mammoth task can actually happen within an expansion.
But even currently there is much to do in WoW, as Patch 10.1 is still quite fresh:

WoW: Patch 10.1 Ember of Neltharion is live – Here is what to expect starting now
The story is ready to finally move forward
Between Shadowlands and Dragonflight, there was already a small time skip of several years. However, in most areas of Azeroth, there is hardly any sign of this. Aside from the Arathi Highlands or the Darkshore, most areas are still at the “Cataclysm” level – and thus are historically many years in the past.
But the story continues, and relentlessly. In the recent Warcraft books (such as “Exploring Kalimdor” or “Exploring The Eastern Kingdoms”), it is already told how the areas have slowly changed and what has happened there in recent years. These are all events that have so far only been treated externally, but in the game are only mentioned in passing in a quest and are not yet really playable.
Furthermore, Blizzard has dropped more and more hints that some big things will happen in the coming years. Here are just a few of the “story promises” that have already been hinted at:
In Patch 10.0.7, the “Nightsquall” was teased – a night elf pirate who is trying to unite various pirate factions to explore “the other side of Azeroth”. Probably the previously unknown continent of “Avaloren”.
The kingdom of Stormwind has been without a king for years, as Anduin is still missing in the Shadowlands. For the human citizens, the king never returned after the kidnapping.
Calia and Furorion will surely continue to play a role.
Kalia Menethil and Genn Greymane want to ensure that Gilneas will again belong to the humans (and worgens) of Gilneas. In an interview, Blizzard already stated that “the resettlement of Gilneas is something we would see in the game and not in [books or other media]”.
The remnants of the Scarlet Crusade want to cleanse Lordaeron of the undead and have spread propaganda material in Azeroth claiming they have a “true heir” of the Menethils who should lead the kingdom.
The night elves are about to plant a new world tree and build a new home after Darnassus was destroyed.
The Silver Hand has tried multiple times to retake Stratholme since Legion and has so far always failed.
For the dwarves, a political change is imminent. The “Council of Three Hammers” will be replaced as soon as the rightful king of Ironforge comes of age – Dagran Thaurissan II. He was last mentioned in the story regarding the wedding between Thalyssra and Lor’themar and is almost of age to ascend the throne.
Political strife is brewing among the Horde: The waters of Durotar are polluted by the oil drilling of the goblins, and water has to be completely imported from Mulgore. How will the Horde deal with this?
Blizzard and Warcraft have a pretty big anniversary coming up. Not only is the “Warcraft” franchise soon celebrating its 30th birthday, but World of Warcraft is already heading towards its 20th birthday – two events that will take place almost simultaneously in 2024. The next expansion is also a anniversary – as it would be the 10th expansion of World of Warcraft.
For Bellular, it is clear that this would be the perfect time to “go all out” with WoW, extensively work on Azeroth, allow the story to progress, and make a massive redesign of the world that puts “Cataclysm” in the shadows and avoids the mistakes of the past.
After all, around 700 people are now working on World of Warcraft, and Blizzard had increased the team by 100 people before the launch of Dragonflight. An undertaking like overhauling the entire world could certainly use many new employees.
The future of the night elves – perhaps we will see them at BlizzCon 2023.
In November of this year, a BlizzCon will again take place. It is practically confirmed that the next adventure of World of Warcraft will be announced there. But this time, it could be much more extensive than we have always imagined.
Do you believe the theory and think that Blizzard has something big planned for the anniversary of WoW? Or is it too much wishful thinking?

In Pokémon GO today, on May 30th, the Spotlight Hour with Houndoom begins. We will show you everything about Shinies, bonuses, and start times for the event.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, there is a Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. For trainers, this means that for 60 minutes, a Pokémon selected by Niantic is the focus of the game. The short event is accompanied by a bonus that can affect XP, candies, or stardust. Each week, the combination of Pokémon and bonus changes.
On this Tuesday, you will encounter the Pokémon Houndoom and receive more stardust.
Spotlight Hour on May 30th with Houndoom
When does it start? As you already know from the Spotlight Hours, it starts today at 6:00 PM. The event will then be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? If you play during the event, you will find Houndoom almost everywhere in the game. Encounters are noticeably increased during the Spotlight Hours. If you want to encounter the Pokémon even more often, you can light incense for support.
For catching Pokémon, you will also receive double the amount of stardust. So it’s definitely worth using the 60 minutes to catch a lot if you want to replenish your stardust.
Can you catch Shiny Houndoom? Yes, the shiny form of Houndoom is already active in Pokémon GO and can be caught by you with some luck. However, keep in mind that Shiny chances are not increased during a Spotlight Hour.
Houndoom and its evolutions in shiny comparison
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? If you are looking for strong attackers for raids, then today’s Spotlight Hour is an important date for you. Houndoom ranks among the best raid attackers in the upper midfield. Its Mega Evolution is among the best attackers you can have in the game.
Even if you are not interested in Houndoom and its evolutions, the stardust bonus is worth it for you.

For 19-year-old Brazilian Matheus “Brutt” Queiroz, 2019 seemed like a dream come true. He made it into a rising professional team of Counterstrike: Global Offensive (Steam). But even before his career as an e-sports player in CS:GO really began, it ended tragically.
The young man moved into the gaming house of “Team Reaper” in August 2019. He was considered a highly talented AWP player.
The players of the team complained about severe headaches, constant vomiting, and loss of vision.
The players suspected that it might be due to the water or the food.
The 19-year-old switched to another team, “Imperial”, a few weeks later. They published in December 2019 that the player had suffered from headaches, decided to leave the team, and return to his family.
He died in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro.
As the site globo.com reports, the cause of death was a nonspecific infection of the central nervous system. Even after days in the clinic, no conclusive diagnosis could be made before his death.

Judge sees blame with the team – But they deny it and file an appeal
What was the dispute? The question ultimately was who was to blame for the player’s death. The boy’s mother filed civil lawsuits against the teams of the player.
In 2022, three years after the player’s death, a Brazilian judge at a labor court decided that “Imperial” had indirectly contributed to the player’s death. The team had not made sufficient efforts to create a safe and healthy work environment. While the 19-year-old was in the gaming house, he had been hospitalized multiple times, but the doctors could not make a diagnosis.
The judge criticized the team’s behavior: The young man had been taken to the hospital by “underage teammates and their girlfriends” without a representative of the organization being present.
The athlete could neither sleep nor eat healthily in the house:
For one, the house was near an airport, which disturbed sleep. In the sleeping area, it was far too warm.
The food was also only inadequate; the team should have provided three meals a day but had not done so.
His condition could not improve. This should have been obvious to everyone.
The judge ordered the company to pay €72,000 to the family.
His team, Imperial, stated in essence: The player had only been with the team for a few days. Therefore, they could not possibly be at fault. He had only been with Imperial for 40 days, so the company could not be held responsible for his death and illness. They announced they would appeal the verdict.

How did it turn out? On May 26, the hearing took place at the appeals court. All 3 appellate judges rejected the appeal. With his move into the gaming house, Imperial had been responsible for the physical and mental well-being of the 19-year-old, which was a legal obligation of the company. They had not fulfilled this obligation.
The appeals court upheld the 2022 ruling; the company must pay €72,000 to the parents and the two brothers of the player.
As Dotesports reports, the team may still file a new appeal with the highest labor court in Brazil. However, it is considered unlikely that Imperial will take this route. Dotesports notes that since the death of the 19-year-old, Imperial has risen to become a globally recognized team in CS:GO and has participated in numerous international tournaments.
The family of the deceased e-sports player says in a statement that they feel a sense of relief after having achieved justice.

Sometimes they come back, in this specific case, the daughter of Mephisto, whom many now know as Lilith from Diablo 4. Lilith is currently the antagonist in this piece. Why it is worth watching the film The Unholy in advance of Diablo 4, you can find out here.
What is the film about? The plot follows Gerry Fenn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a washed-up journalist. He is trying to stay afloat with smaller assignments. The entire story is set in a town in New England.
Watch the trailer for The Unholy here on YouTube.

Although Fenn initially shows up for another story, he experiences apparent miracles at the town’s church. He senses his second chance to revive his career as the miracles in the community increase.
This is related to the girl Alice, who, as if by ghostly hand, is no longer deaf – and not only that – she also begins to speak, although she had never done so before. She claims that the Holy Virgin Mary speaks through her. Everyone should learn about the miracles from the Holy Virgin, which soon makes the town a pilgrimage site for the faithful.
Meanwhile, Fenn befriends the girl and doubts himself and his actions. However, the thought arises in him that the voice the girl perceives might not actually be that of the Holy Virgin.
A battle of faith begins between good and evil, even bringing the church into play. Ultimately, it is about Fenn’s own peace of mind and the contest for the souls of the innocent between heaven and hell.
Lilith, the hellish counterpart to the Holy Virgin?
What does this have to do with Lilith? The film truly deals not only with a question of faith but also with personified evil. However, the question arises as to whether the miracles, despite their influence from “below”, should still be recognized as such or even protected by their followers.
Alice finds herself in conflict with the experienced miracles and her trust in Fenn – parallel to the people in Sanctuary, who are in the midst of the conflict between Lilith and the angel Inarius. Both parties represent the respective opposing forces and maintain their jointly created world of Sanctuary in this way.
After Lilith escapes her banishment, she wanders around to win souls for her cause. At the beginning of the game, she appears as, admittedly brutal, a savior in a chapel.
The question remains whether and to what extent Lilith’s machinations are indeed much worse than Inarius’s intentions in an otherwise dark world like Sanctuary. Without Lilith, the world does not seem much better either.

Diablo 4: The Official Story Trailer for Release
What is the background to the film? The film is based on a novella called Shrine by James Herbert. Herbert himself passed away in 2013 but was considered the British counterpart to Stephen King until then. His books sold over 53 million copies (via deadline.com).
The film is a horror movie featuring supernatural occurrences. Directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos as his debut work on the big screen. It was produced by Sam Raimi under his own brand, Ghost House Pictures. The film can currently be streamed on Netflix. Read here how to access more films on the streaming service using cheat codes.
The main cast includes well-known figures from film and television, such as Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Supernatural, The Walking Dead), Cricket Brown (WeCrashed), and William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption, Die Hard 2).
Although effects are sparingly used at the beginning, the visual experience gains momentum as the story progresses. With a budget of “only” 10 million dollars (via the-numbers.com), it may not create masterpieces on screen, but it impresses through solid acting.
The film is not a blockbuster, but it nevertheless maximizes its budget regarding sets and cast, even with well-known actors like Jeffrey Dean Morgan. And that is refreshing – it’s nice to see sets in real locations without a green screen.
The reviews are meanwhile mixed. According to IMDb, the film has a score of 5.1 out of 10 based on 24,977 ratings (via IMDb). Nevertheless, this film is particularly recommendable with regard to the upcoming release of Diablo 4. The depiction of the devilish as the supposed savior of the community touches on Lilith’s role in Diablo 4.
So it may come as no surprise that, despite mixed reviews, the film achieved a box office of over 31 million dollars (with a budget of 10 million dollars, mind you). Currently, this film can be streamed on Netflix or purchased through other media.
Also lost souls can experience redemption
The film is not a masterpiece in some eyes. However, for the intended purpose here, it surely is. Fan-favorite Morgan shows a sense of nostalgia here and ultimately grapples with his own demons. Sometimes, that can turn out well, but it can also go badly, as Diablo parts 1 and 2 have shown.
The portrayal and transformation of an anti-hero in an otherwise corrupt world fuels my enthusiasm for this film. It is an unremarkable, even arrogant character who initially appears completely unsympathetic. I and certainly many others can identify well with an average person like Fenn in the film. Many have probably also strayed from the right path, but the question remains whether it still feels right.
I also appreciate the principle of the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. He presents himself from his supposedly beautiful side but can also become quite unpleasant when things get tough. If you want to find out what a porcelain doll has to do with Pandora’s box, you shouldn’t miss this gem.
During Pokémon GO there was a highly anticipated event on the Pentecost weekend, from Saturday at 10 AM to Sunday at 8 PM. Players could find Crypto-Mewtwo in Crypto-Raids. It was supposed to be the biggest challenge in Pokémon GO so far. But on Pentecost Monday, some trainers were greatly disappointed.
The developers said: It was the “biggest challenge the game has ever seen.”

Bug ruins the catch for some trainers
What were the reactions? As Dotesports reports, there was some excitement and disappointment on social media around the event. A bug prevented players from catching a Crypto-Mewtwo.
In some cases, Mewtwo’s HP remained at 1 HP and did not move an inch until the timer ran out. Players were kicked out of raids as if they had failed, having no choice but to try again.
Niantic acknowledged the problem on May 28 and recommended restarting the app. They said they received “various reports” of this kind.

Many problems are weighing down the mood in Pokémon GO
What is the general mood? Aside from technical issues with the Crypto-Raids, current problems in Pokémon GO, especially in rural areas, are bothering many players and driving them to quit.
In Destiny 2 , the best players in the world face off solo in PvE to defeat bosses that usually require a full team. But currently, it’s laborious, so very laborious.
What do the best players in Destiny actually do all day?
It has been a tradition for ages that the best Destiny players impose a handicap on themselves to find new challenges and real fun in Bungie’s online shooter. In 2015, Crota was drummed – His dad Oryx was defeated “blind”
The standard is “solo flawless” runs: These masters complete activities intended for 3 or 6 players alone and without dying. If they do happen to die, honor dictates that they start completely from the beginning.
These “Solo runs” have been done by people 9 years ago in Destiny 1: Back then, it was essential to do the Nightfall “solo”. Players specifically looked for exploit spots, essentially cheating, but said “We are just cheesing” and thought quite highly of themselves.

Destiny 2: New dungeon “Ghosts of the Deep” from Season 21 brings the Ghoul into play
Even a PvE god needs 10 phases and an hour for the new boss
This is the problem: As two reddit threads indicate, solo players in the current season have a clear problem:
The bosses have long periods where they are invulnerable, and only short windows where players can deal damage to them. A Reddit user says it feels like having to do 5 minutes of chores just to deal damage for 15 seconds: (via reddit).
The more phases you need for a boss, the longer the boss fight becomes, as the boss always spawns with a new shield.
As a result, boss fights drag on endlessly for solo players. From PvE god Esoterrick, there is a video where he takes 10 phases for “Ghosts of the Deep”. The video runs over 75 minutes (via youtube).
Players criticize: Bosses have too much HP, too short damage phases
This is what players demand: People on reddit say that solo play in dungeons in Destiny 2 is actually fun. The mechanics are cool, the boss fights are great in themselves. However, the HP pools of the bosses have become far too large and exaggerated. Therefore, it takes forever.
This is absurd and makes soloing dungeons just laborious. Please Bungie, add health scaling to dungeon bosses, it would make our time so much more enjoyable.
So people are demanding: When players enter a dungeon solo, the bosses should only have a fraction of their current HP so they can be defeated in the “intended time” and don’t require so many phases.
Well, you want to do something that is actually not intended by the game and only possible for the ultra-hardcore masters, and then it turns out to be laborious:
