In the Chinese Where Winds Meet, a plethora of fighters gathered for a raid recently, crashing the content. However, this was not planned, and players already see the potential in it.
How did the groups get into the raid? A post by @deweibs on x.com shows a screenshot of Where Winds Meet in the Chinese version, featuring numerous players engaged in a raid. However, this content is actually designed for 10 players.
The image shows a load of players who shouldn’t be there. The reason for this is probably a bug that caused all groups that had just signed up for the content to be forced into the same instance.
Source: @deweibs via x.com (as of November 29, 2025, 9:15 AM)
It is unclear whether the content was still playable or how it resolved. According to @deweibs, however, the players took it with humor and joked in the chat: “With so many people, we could probably kill the boss if everyone just stomped once.”
The community is also responding positively to this bug, and many see further potential in the mass of players in a single piece of content.

“This gives the developers even more ideas.”
What potential do the users see? With over 4,900 likes, around 426 reposts, and 26 comments, the post is quite popular. In the comments, many celebrate the bug and joke about how powerful such a collection of brave warriors could be and what potential lies in it.
@lumiscera envisions the future: “This gives the developers even more ideas.”
@azazel021 agrees: “Imagine if they made this a feature and introduced 100-man raids or perhaps even a world boss raid.”
@kevareer jokes: “If you remove everyone’s clothes, the frame rate increases by at least 30 frames per second.”
@ooobbbaaayyy chimes in: “WWM is not an MMORPG, they said.”
@SentiNel090 wishes they could have been there: “You call it a bug, I call it an unintended feature. Looks like chaotic fun!”
@demi_raz draws a comparison to the 24-player raids in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, where fighters form into 3 groups for an alliance and face multiple bosses in instanced content.
@MOGameReviews also points out that the developers could see that the game can handle instances with many players and see potential for a mass raid within it. He would also be happy if such a feature made its way into the game in the future.
A gamer and guest of a motel took his PS5 to his room to play a few rounds of ARC Raiders. However, the relaxed evening took an unexpected turn when the police suddenly stood at his door.
What happened to the player in the motel? The player YoMopho shared in a post on Reddit that he had to spend a night in a motel and hooked up his PS5 to pass the time with ARC Raiders. However, his relaxed gaming was interrupted when suddenly the police stood at his door.
According to the player’s report, a neighbor called the police out of concern for his well-being. He apparently made comments in the voice chat that sounded too realistic, which could be heard through the motel walls and, as an unaware guest, could be assessed as a concerning situation, prompting the police to pay him a visit to check on things.
Other Reddit users can’t believe the player and think he made up the story for Reddit karma. However, GamesRadar+ came across the story and contacted the local police department, which eventually confirmed the incident on the night of November 27, 2025. They indeed received such a tip, which matched YoMopho’s report.

The Raider was not the only one who took his role-playing too seriously
What disturbed his neighbors? The player does not know exactly what statement disturbed the neighbors so much. However, he recalls his situations in the game and starts to piece together how he reported in his post on Reddit:
On the way back to the extraction point, he was hit by a rocket launcher and then shouted for help, as he saw another Raider at the said location: “Hiiielp, I’m done, please help me, I got shot, please help me up!”
However, when the other Raider fled out of fear of the rocket launcher, the player died and let out a dying scream that matched his in-game death.
“And I think then they called the police.”
How did the police respond to the truth behind the screams? When asked by a player how the police reacted to this story, YoMopho explains that the officers were quite relaxed after seeing the PS5 and headset in the room.
Apparently, such situations are not an isolated case, as other players from the community report:
“We had this problem back in the late 90s and early 2000s when Counter-Strike players were constantly talking about planting and defusing bombs,” explains chronicnerv, and Firm-Ad3970 also describes that he once called the police when he suspected something terrible: “I’m ashamed to say that I once called the police because I heard my neighbor yelling. I didn’t know he was just gaming, and thought he had killed his girlfriend.”
However, others in the community emphasize that it was still the right thing to do. As soon as something sounds suspiciously dangerous, caution is better than regret, as EngineersMasterPlan points out: “Don’t worry. If someone gets so worked up about a video game that the police have to be called due to a suspected murder, then that person somehow deserved the reality check.”
Annoyed guests, burnt food, and financial difficulties – that sounds pretty stressful. Nevertheless, MeinMMO author Linda Baumgartl has fallen in love with a restaurant game where you have to face all these challenges. And no, it’s not Overcooked.
What could be more relaxing than being besieged by virtual hordes of hungry guests after work? At the same time, you risk your non-virtual friendships because someone once again didn’t clean the floor properly and now doesn’t want to admit it. What’s that all about?
Okay, maybe it’s not really relaxing. But it’s certainly more fun, especially when you sit on the couch with your friends and can hurl absurd, of course completely ironic insults at the culprits right away.
What game are we talking about? The game in question is the couch co-op game “PlateUp!” Together with up to four players, you build your own restaurant, which might even become a franchise if successful.
You can play online or locally with shared screen. Solo play is possible, but it’s not the focus of the game.
On Steam, PlateUp! is currently 70% off and costs €5.85.
The offer lasts until Monday, December 1.
There is also a free demo available.
In the trailer, you can see different restaurants in action:

In PlateUp! chaotic cooking action meets roguelite strategy
Like Overcooked, but better
If you’ve heard of a couch co-op restaurant game, it was probably Overcooked. The series has enjoyed great popularity for years (via SteamDB) and is one of the best titles in the genre. I’ve also spent several hours in Overcooked, especially Overcooked 2, before I discovered PlateUp! for myself.
At first glance, both titles look quite similar:
Chaotic restaurant game where you have to process your guests’ orders as quickly as possible
Focus on couch co-op
Cute comic style
A typical restaurant in PlateUp!For comparison: Overcooked has a similar look
But on closer inspection, it becomes clear that PlateUp! is much more than a cheap copy. This is already due to a fundamentally different game principle:
In Overcooked you play through separate levels. The challenge mainly lies in handling the given kitchen. Sometimes your kitchen is spread over two flying islands. Other times it is crossed by an icy river. That’s usually not very practical.
In PlateUp!, however, you build your completely own restaurant. Here, the difficulty lies more in investing in the right upgrades and placing everything cleverly.
As a big fan of all kinds of building games, I feel right at home here. It’s just super satisfying to continuously improve and optimize your restaurant over time. PlateUp! creates the perfect blend of chaotic cooking action and strategic building game. It gives you enough freedom to tinker around and try out different approaches while also providing you with fixed goals and challenges, keeping it demanding.
Every restaurant has its own challenges
Before you start a round of PlateUp!, you first need to establish the basics of your restaurant. You choose the layout of your building, a dish that you want to offer at the beginning, and optionally two helpful items, which you will have to unlock first. This selection is extremely important for the course of the round and is essentially equivalent to choosing a level.
The goal of a match is to survive 15 game days with your restaurant. Each day, a certain number of guests arrives whom you must serve. If even a single guest leaves the house dissatisfied, you lose the match.
Fortunately, you don’t have to manage all this with your scant starting equipment. After each day, there is a planning phase. With the money you’ve fought hard for, you can buy new furniture, kitchen appliances, decorations, and equipment. You are always limited to a randomly rolled selection of objects.
Here you assemble your match.The “blueprints” on the ground can be bought and then placed in the restaurant.
It’s particularly important to not only buy more items but also better items. Many things in PlateUp! have various upgrades that you can obtain either randomly or through a research table. Such upgrades include:
A stove where nothing can burn anymore
A table where guests pay more
A dishwasher that…well…washes your dishes automatically
However, not every progress is always pleasant. Every three days, your restaurant earns an additional star, which usually also brings more challenging guests. In true roguelike style, you are presented with a choice of two options from which you must choose one. This can be something like a new dish, more guests, or food that burns faster. In any case, it doesn’t get easier for you.
An exception to this are the decoration rounds. After five game days, you can choose a positive effect that you can activate through decoration items.
Either you have to serve more guests at once or make coffee.Depending on which “style” you choose for your restaurant, you can unlock different bonuses.
It’s precisely these roguelike elements that make the game so brilliant for me. Every round is unique and challenging in its own way. Over time, you’ll learn which innovations harmonize well together and which combinations you should avoid. For example, if you offer a more complicated dish, additional sides and desserts can quickly break your neck. In a relaxed café, you can serve plenty of pastries, ice cream, and cakes instead. Discovering this is a lot of fun and invites experimentation and optimization.
If you have no friends, machines will help
As mentioned at the beginning, I believe PlateUp! shines especially in coop. The hectic kitchen stress brings about excitement and funny moments immediately. Anyone can jump straight into the game. And there are plenty of tasks that can be shared among players.
Nevertheless, PlateUp! also works significantly better in solo play than I’ve experienced with other coop games of this type.
This is mainly because you can almost fully automate your restaurant, especially the cooking process. For this, there are things like conveyor belts, mixers, and portioners with which you can build complex automation processes. Eventually, your kitchen will resemble a stuffed production hall. But as long as the right food comes out at the end, your customers will be happy about it.
Through clever automation, you could theoretically manage to run a large restaurant entirely by yourself. However, you will be somewhat dependent on getting the right objects offered for purchase early on.
Of course, these options are also available in coop. If you want to play beyond the first 15 days, you should definitely consider mechanical assistance.
This is what your restaurant might look like if you opt for automation.
From shabby pub to restaurant empire
What I particularly like about PlateUp! is that after a winning match, the game doesn’t immediately kick you out of your restaurant. If you want, you can seamlessly continue playing until the ever-growing influx of visitors overwhelms you completely. Short round or long-term play, the choice is yours.
If you’ve survived at least 15 days, you will also have the opportunity to start a franchise. This means you start a new restaurant but take upgrade cards from the last match with you and gain additional bonuses. Here, you need to plan even longer-term and can create a true restaurant empire.
This may be less suitable for a quick party round. However, it’s even nicer if you want to enjoy the game long-term – for example, with a partner.
Even outside of individual matches, you make progress in PlateUp! over time. Most importantly, you unlock more layouts for your restaurant and more dishes. This keeps the game interesting and fresh even over a longer period.
After about 50 hours of gameplay, I have now unlocked all game content and feel like a little head chef. Nevertheless, I still don’t feel I have “finished” PlateUp!. Particularly regarding automation and longer franchises, there’s much deeper to dive, which will certainly occupy me for a few more hours.
Additionally, PlateUp! has become my favorite title in my “party repertoire”. No matter in what configurations I’ve played the game so far, it has always been well received and has provided a few funny gaming hours. Overall, I can recommend PlateUp! both as a casual coop game for a round with friends and for longer sessions with more strategy and optimization.
In the books and movies of The Lord of the Rings, there are a whole load of powerful weapons. The following seven are particularly powerful and important tools in the fight against the evil forces of Middle-earth.
How was the ranking created? Middle-earth is a dangerous world where evil forces strive for power. To stop them, special weapons are necessary and the villains themselves also use some powerful specimens to thwart the good.
For this list, we looked at seven strong weapons that appear during the history of The Lord of the Rings, are powerful for various reasons, and influence the plot.

Epic Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
Rank 7: Sting
Weapon type: Sword
Bearer: Frodo and Sam, previously Bilbo
Sting is an Elvish sword, though due to its length it resembles a dagger. It was found by Bilbo and later passed on to Frodo. The special thing about it is that it begins to glow blue as soon as orcs approach. This makes Sting a practical means to be warned in advance of enemies.
This way Frodo and his companions could avoid any orcs or launch surprise attacks. Due to the craftsmanship of the Elves, Sting is also excellently made and nearly indestructible. The blade can penetrate even very hard materials. This is how Sam manages to defeat the giant spider Shelob by stabbing her with Sting in the armor.
Deservedly, Sam receives the weapon at the end from Frodo. Sting may not seem like much at first glance, but those who know its true power can achieve a lot with the elegant yet comparatively inconspicuous sword.

It should be one of the major features of the new expansion of World of Warcraft, but the community does not see this happening yet.
World of Warcraft Midnight will be an expansion that does not bring many new features – apart from housing. Instead, Blizzard’s MMORPG is still working on its fundamental renewal and mainly brings more of what players already know and like. However, a new feature, the “Prey” system, is not well received. Either it has been forgotten or people are wondering: Who is it actually for?
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What is the Prey system? The new Prey feature, also called “loot,” is an optional mission that you can activate while playing in the open world. While you complete quests, hunt rare enemies, or participate in world events, you can be ambushed or find clues to your prey target. If you have enough clues, a duel will take place.
On normal difficulty, other characters can help you, but on the two higher levels, you have to survive the duel alone. However, when exactly your enemy strikes is random. This can happen right when you are fighting a tough elite enemy or when you just wanted to go “afk” for a moment.
Prey is missing exactly when you would need it
What is the community criticizing? In the WoW subreddit, there has been relatively little discussion about the Prey feature from the beta. It is being used very little, and there are several reasons for this. In a recent post, these 3 main criticisms are noted:
If you die for any reason while playing, progress in the current Prey hunt is completely reset. Because scaling in Midnight is still strange, you can unexpectedly fail against elite or rare enemies during quests.
Accepting a Prey mission is annoying because you have to go back to Silvermoon every time and interrupt the current gameplay for it. A detour that disrupts the flow of the game rather than enriches it.
The system is only available from level 90, but the rewards feel rather weak at that point.
Many limitations of the feature have caused it to already be forgotten by many:
“Wait, what? I thought this was something you use while leveling through the areas, and then it gets harder when you reach max level. As it is, it’s terrible.” – Lenyor-RR
“Wow, I completely forgot about the feature.” – TheJewishMerp
What, you can’t use that while leveling? That’s pretty much the only time I’m in the open world? At least 90% of the time. – TheHeroicLionheart
“As much as I wish everyone would hit a home run with their ideas, I’m also glad that it sounds like you could completely ignore it when playing dungeons or raids.” – yawgmothhagain
Who is the Prey system actually for? Much of the criticism can be countered if the Prey system is seen primarily as a gameplay opportunity for a specific group of players: outdoor fans. This is mainly the group that is rarely seen in forums or social media. Because there is a large part of the player base that avoids dungeons and does not attend raids, but instead only engages in outdoor activities in the endgame.
For exactly this group, the Prey system could become exciting and interesting. But it would be nice if all others could at least benefit a little more from it than has been the case so far.
Have you already checked out the beta? What is your first impression of the new Prey system? Is it even worth it, or will you not interact with the feature at all? If you just want to test it, take a look at the beta of Midnight, then you can also give direct feedback to Blizzard.

A strategy game has achieved something at release that only GTA 5 has managed. On Steam, you can get the game now for ten bucks.
Which game is being referred to? The game is called A Total War Saga: Troy and is part of the popular Total War series. The strategy games developed by Creative Assembly are primarily known for cinematic battles where thousands of soldiers fight simultaneously.
A Total War Saga: Troy was released on August 13, 2020, initially exclusively in the Epic Games Store. There, the game was even given away for free on the release day! In September 2021, it was released on Steam, where you can secure the game for €9.99 until December 11, 2025.
Here you can see a trailer for the game:

Announcement trailer for A Total War Saga: Troy
Total War crashed the Epic servers at release
What success does the game share with GTA 5? Right on the first day, when the game could be secured for free, there was a huge demand. This was confirmed by Ivan Kanev, Development Director at the studio behind Troy, in a brief interview. You can read this in the form of a post on YouTube.
In the interview, Kanev is asked what success he is most proud of during the development of A Total War Saga: Troy. Besides the fact that the game was successfully released in the first year of the Corona pandemic, he was also pleased with the great interest in the title.
The game attracted so many people to the Epic Games Store on release day that it crashed the platform’s servers for several hours. This had only been achieved before by GTA 5:
Another truly proud moment was when 7.7 million people claimed the game for free in the first 24 hours, thereby crashing the Epic servers in the first few hours (something that had only been achieved before by GTA 5).
Ivan ‘Jovanie’ Kanev, Development Director at CA Sofia
Epic strategy in the war for Troy
What is the game about? A Total War Saga: Troy transports the well-known mix of the series of turn-based strategy with real-time battles into the Bronze Age. The focus is on the legendary Trojan War, as represented in the Iliad – the preserved epic.
The main game relies on a mix of mythology and history. Legendary warriors like Achilles and Hector take on numerous opponents simultaneously, and units inspired by mythological creatures such as centaurs and sirens also enter the battlefield.
If you want a “Age of Mythology”-style Total War and command real creatures from myths, the Myth DLC is worth it. It adds a new game mode with real monsters and significantly more powerful god powers.
If you prefer a purely historical experience, you will also find it here. It might be even more worthwhile to buy Total War: Pharaoh. The game also costs only €9.99 on Steam and in the Dynasties edition offers the heroes of Troy on a significantly larger map.

A user invested money in his PC, and 6 months later, his gaming PC is already broken.Now he is desperately searching for the fault. The community mainly blames a combination of the processor and motherboard for the culprit. A problem that has been troubling AMD for some time.
A user explained on Reddit that he built an expensive computer. According to his own words, his PC is “the most expensive thing I have ever bought.” However, in his post, he reports that his computer died after just 6 months. And it happened in the middle of a gaming session. He writes:
I was just playing Ghost of Tsushima when it suddenly froze. Ctrl-Alt-Del didn’t work, so I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds … but even THAT didn’t work. This has never happened to me before.
Since then, his PC will not start anymore and has died. But he is not sure what exactly caused the PC to die. The community provides him with a tip about the error, but the PC still does not work to this day.
Popular AMD CPU causes expensive problems once again
What is the cause? Some users speculate that it could be the AsRock motherboard combined with the Ryzen 7 9800x3D. Because AMD has been struggling with problems related to its processors for months: Many players have already complained that their motherboard and CPU burned out. Although AMD and various manufacturers regularly release BIOS updates, there are still affected users. One user writes:
[Ryzen 7] 9800x3d and Asrock motherboard have the potential to destroy your CPU if you don’t have the updated BIOS.
What’s next for the user? In two brief updates, he thanked the community and stated that he was able to successfully update the BIOS version of his motherboard. However, the computer still refuses to start. He added that he now wants to contact customer service. Since then, there has been no further update.
Warframe is getting a new class with the upcoming update, which will enter the battle as a demon lord.
What kind of class is this? Warframe will receive a new Warframe named Uriel on December 10th, thematically based on devils and demons. Visually, this satanic fighter could also pass as a boss enemy in Diablo.
To fit the devilish theme, Uriel has his own little demons that float by his side and fight for him. As Warframe’s creative director Rebecca Ford revealed in an interview, these demons act independently and have their own gameplay mechanics. While one of them drains the life from enemies, another can impair your opponents’ abilities.
Uriel is not just a kind of companion class. He also brings his own abilities into battle. These abilities are meant to be devilish and literally make your enemies burn in hell. Moreover, he can transform himself into a burning comet and fly through the air – crashing down on enemies.
Start video
Warframe verrät das Release-Datum zu The Old Piece im Trailer
A glimpse into a hellish past
Why this devilish design? Warframe takes a leap into the past with the upcoming update “The Old Piece”, revisiting a war fought a long time ago.
Rebecca describes the update as a glimpse into the history books, but these history books are our forgotten memories. We will experience a war that our character already fought in the past, which shaped him.
The world design and the story of the update follow a clear narrative thread that addresses the theme of war and hell. Alongside the devilish Warframe Uriel, there will be a matching hellish sound and skybox design, where Warframe’s sci-fi setting meets a dark fantasy setting like in Diablo.
The new Warframe Uriel embodies this leap back into a diabolical and militaristic era with his signature weapon: a bayonet that occupies both your primary weapon and melee weapon slot.
This means that while you fire semi-automatic shots at enemies with the bayonet one moment, you can slash your opponents with a blade attached to the rifle the next.
If you’re not keen on advancing the story of “The Old Piece” and want to jump directly into new or old game modes, the developers have an exciting new feature for you: there will be the option to simply skip the quest line of the expansion. However, the game warns you that in this case, you will encounter spoilers and challenging gameplay meant for players who have completed the story.
The cooperative shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide regularly receives new updates and DLCs with new content. The latest DLC brings the sixth class into the game, the Hive Scum, or in English: Hive Scum. MyMMO editor Benedict Grothaus was allowed to play it in advance and has only one criticism: at release, he has to level it up again.
Darktide takes a different approach with customizable, but nameless anti-heroes and branching skill trees instead of “careers” for each character. More freedom at the cost of distinct characters.
Now, however, the developers have invited us to test the new update in advance. With the 2nd DLC, the “Hive Scum” enters the game, lowly gang members from the most dangerous areas of the Hive City.
Darktide implements this fantasy by giving the character a highly skilled fighter who, however, has no training whatsoever. A lot of shooting without sense or reason. To this, the Hive Scum gets some new content:
Dual pistols, dual submachine guns, and the iconic needle pistol as new ranged weapons
Crowbars, chainsaws, and double shivs as new melee weapons
Grenades that can either poison or stun enemies
Customization options exclusively for the Hive Scum with new hairstyles, tattoos, skins, and of course voice lines for more banter between the characters
As with all other classes, there are different playstyles, but with the Hive Scum, they differ much more: Chemists fight with their stims and grenades to deal (also new) poison damage. Daredevils smash through the enemy masses in melee. But the pistol heroes are the true centerpieces.
As a Desperado through Atoma with endless magazine
While playing, I initially decided to try out a pistol build and by the end of the test had no chance to do anything else. Too much fun with the shooting.
Normally, Darktide has a notorious ammunition shortage. Not for desperados, because they have a proverbial Hollywood magazine: the “Desperado” ability means I don’t consume any ammo while reloading during the effect’s duration.
By default, the skill lasts only a few seconds, but every kill on marked enemies extends the duration. As long as enough enemies rush in – and there are plenty of those in Darktide – I can run around endlessly in Desperado mode shooting away. Wonderful!
But the best part is yet to come: pistols (and especially SMGs) are now known for their inaccuracy, especially when carrying two of them. Here come the new combat stims into play, as the Hive Scum simply mixes them himself.
The Desperado is really rocking it.Excuse me, may I interest you in a crowbar to the face?Creating your own stims is awesome!Some customization options for the Hive Scum.BOOM BOOM BANG BANG!!
The private chemistry lab for the right kick
In addition to talents, the Hive Scum has another menu, a lab, where he assembles his own stims. There are four predefined directions for different playstyles and benefits.
The buffs are limited by points you can invest. Depending on how far you go in a certain direction, the effects become more expensive. In my case, I tailored the stim to the Desperado:
Under the influence of the combat drug, I have less spread and recoil, thus hitting more accurately even from the hip.
My attack speed is greatly increased and my stamina costs are lowered, so I can rush through enemies while shooting wildly.
In addition, my abilities cooldown quicker, allowing me to use Desperado more often if the buff runs out.
With the combination of skills and stims, I dart through the levels like a John Wick with significantly less precision, but incredibly like a rabid Chihuahua. Particularly handy is that the skill replaces the standard stims, meaning you always run around with it and don’t have to find something first. A nice touch: Chemists can distribute the effects of their stims to their teammates similarly to a medikit.
Oh yes, the Hive Scum also has a rocket launcher as an alternative to grenades for mighty kaboom. Even the Ogryn should be worried.
Free content lures with nostalgia for Warhammer veterans
The Hive Scum DLC will cost €11.99 in the standard version and €18.99 in the deluxe edition with additional cosmetics. On December 2, the DLC will be released alongside a free update.
In the update, all players will gain access to a new mini-campaign with 3 maps set in the trenches of Atoma. “The Road to No Man’s Land” uses assets reminiscent of the gothic style of terrain from the Warhammer tabletop.
While I played the missions, the environment was truly secondary to me. I just wanted to shoot and had a blast with the Hive Scum. The only problem: there aren’t that many players on the press server, so I spent most of the time with bots, and that… is exhausting.
I experienced the class at max level and now that I know how much fun it is, I really have to push through at release if I have to start over. But at least I know it’s worth it.
Twitch allowed fans for a short time to gift 1,000 paid subscriptions all at once. Many streamers did not think it was a good idea, including Asmongold, who wants to ban viewers who gift such a “present” directly.
What’s the deal with the 1,000 subscriptions? On November 26, 2025, Twitch introduced a new cap for gift subs and temporarily allowed fans to gift 1,000 paid subscriptions at once. The package cost nearly 5,000 US dollars, providing a savings of nearly 1,000 dollars compared to the individual price.
One streamer even went a step further, threatening to permanently ban any viewer who gives them such a “gift.”
Asmongold is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch but also one of the harshest critics of the platform. The streamer, however, often makes controversial statements himself. In October 2024, he received a ban for degrading comments related to the Gaza War. Although Asmongold made an impressive apology, he quickly fell back into old patterns.

Asmongold demands tax returns from fans
What does Asmongold have against money? Like many other streamers, he fears so-called chargebacks. If the generous fan has a change of heart – or does not have the financial means – they can request a refund. Smaller streamers are then left with the debt.
Asmongold believes that no one simply gifts 5,000 dollars without expecting something in return. Therefore, his drastic consequence is: “If you do that to me, you will be permanently banned, I’m telling you right now.”
Viewers could only avoid the ban if they send the streamer their “1040” from the previous year, which is a form in the US income tax return. Only if someone can show a seven-figure sum would the ban be lifted.
Asmongold also wants to ensure that fans have the necessary financial means.
The streamer had already called for viewers to be banned in early October, who gift absurd amounts after a fan killed a Korean influencer. “Think about what kind of people are willing to give a girl on the internet 50,000 dollars. Crazy. Stay safe and proactive,” Asmongold said.
Consequently, Asmongold is not very pleased that the friendly streamer Emiru received such a subscription gift in the short time the feature was available. You can see the corresponding stream clip on X.
Tian Wen’s weapon shop sends you on a three-part quest across various areas in ARC Raiders to collect items once again. Of course, the locations won’t be marked on your map, so we’ll show you where to go to complete the quest.
What is this quest about? The weapons dealer Tian Wen will eventually send you on the quest “What We Left Behind.” In this quest, you need to visit three maps, loot items, and gather information.
As usual, there’s no quest location marked in ARC Raiders, so you’ll have to search for the locations yourself. That’s why we visited all three locations to show you where they are.

Dam Battlefields: Find Something of Importance
In the dam battlefields, you need to find “something of importance” in the swamp area. For this, Tian Wen sends you to the southern swamp outpost, which is located west of the water treatment control room.
Go into the swamp and look for a building that looks like a rundown silo – go inside. On one of the shelves, you will find some documents that you need to interact with. Once you’ve done that, this part is complete.
This is where the mentioned silo is locatedYou need to enter the silo hereHere are the documents for your quest
Buried City: Find 2 Containers under the Parking Garage
In the buried city, you now need to head to the parking garage, which is located near the hospital. Go to the lowest floor and look for a sealed door with the sign “1” – break it open.
Go through the door and use the zip line to reach the lowest floor. Once you arrive, you need to search 2 containers of your choice. These include hoods from vehicles, weapon cases, bags, metal boxes, and much more. Once you’ve searched 2 containers, you’re done here as well.
This is your destinationYou need to break this door on the first floorThis is what the room looks like that you need to loot
Spaceport: Find Bilguun’s Hideout
The probably hardest part is finding Bilguun’s hideout. It is located on the outer wall of the container storage in the spaceport. Visit the east side of the storage and look for a ladder. Climb up and search southeast for a small book that is on a pile of clothes. On our pictures, you can see the exact locations.
Here is the hideoutNow go up the stairsYou need to pick up this little book
What rewards are there for the quest? Once you have completed the quest, you will receive three level 2 upgrades:
a muzzle
a grip
a stock for your rifles.
The rewards are a nice bonus, but not high-end components for your builds.
Those were all the important details for the quest “What We Left Behind.” Did you have any trouble finding Bilguun’s hideout? Some players have also struggled with the Major’s box alongside this quest, as it seems to be bugged. We’ll show you how to possibly fix this problem in our guide: ARC Raiders: Major’s Footlocker – How to solve the quest (also with a bug)

In Where Winds Meet you can get rid of items in various ways. How exactly this works and what you need to know can be found here.
How does trading work in Where Winds Meet? There is currently no proper trading function in the global version of Where Winds Meet.
In the Chinese version, for example, you can trade skins, outfits, and certain items with other players, buying and selling them. Additionally, there are professions that allow you to earn money by buying and selling goods. Whether and when this feature will come to the West is currently unknown.
There is also currently no way to sell equipment or other items directly to other players. However, there are various ways to exchange special items with other players or to empty your inventory without going empty-handed. What options you currently have can be found here.

Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Exchange items with other players
What can currently be exchanged with other players? In Where Winds Meet, there are some collectible items, such as bowls, for which you receive rewards when you collect the entire set. From these collectibles, you can also collect multiple copies, allowing you to trade missing or excess items with other players.
To do this, you must follow these steps:
Switch to online mode if you are still in single-player mode
Alternatively, invite the respective player to the Co-op or switch to the player’s world if you already know who you want to trade with
Meet the player you want to trade with
Press the button that appears above the player’s head and scroll down
Select the button “Exchange Collection” (German: Sammlung tauschen)
Wait for the other player to accept your invitation
Then select the item you want to give to the other player
Wait for your opponent to do the same and then confirm the exchange
Other items cannot be exchanged at this time.
Can items also be gifted? Yes, there are also items that you can gift – either through chat or in person. You can find this gifting function when you meet the players, right next to the trading function. Alternatively, you can also select the items themselves and gift them from there, provided it’s possible through chat. You can also gift some items from the shop to other players.
Get rid of items from your inventory
How can equipment and items be sold? If your inventory space is running low, you cannot currently sell excess equipment to a merchant. Instead, you can mark the respective item in your bag and recycle it with the corresponding button. This consumes it and gives you money and some resources.
You don’t need to worry about resources and quest items, as they do not take up inventory space. The limitation mainly affects your weapons and armor pieces.

Almost everyone has dreamt of becoming so powerful and strong that every opponent dies at the push of a button. In a third-person shooter on Steam, this is possible and it is on sale until December 4, 2025.
What kind of game is this? Risk of Rain 2 is a third-person shooter and roguelite on Steam. You choose one of many unlockable characters and must pave your way through various worlds. Currently, the game is discounted on Steam until December 4, 2025, and costs 8.24 euros.
Each character has different abilities as well as a weapon to deal with the monsters that appear in droves and want to kill you. In the worlds, there is a portal where a boss is summoned. After a fight, you can enter the next world.
Items can make you really powerful here
What is the special feature of the game that makes you absurdly strong? In Risk of Rain 2, you will find various items during your run. These items can be simple bonuses, such as faster attack speed or a higher chance to deal critical damage with attacks.
In addition, there are other items that can make your character strong. With a ghost in a bottle, your enemies explode or a Tesla coil creates an electrifying circle around you to deal additional damage. In total, there are 184 items in Risk of Rain 2, divided into seven categories, each with different strengths and some weaknesses.
Furthermore, you can collect items as often as you want, which upgrades them. Due to the levels of the monsters and the numerous items, later in the run, you will become so strong that you only need to lift a finger and most enemies around you will die.

Risk of Rain 2 – Launch Trailer
Becoming absurdly strong is not all that Risk of Rain 2 offers
What else does Risk of Rain 2 offer? In addition to the fun of becoming absurdly strong with countless items and trying out different builds, there is more content in the game.
In certain worlds, various puzzles can be solved. So you don’t just have to survive as long as possible and slay thousands of enemies, but also think a little and find a way to secret places.
At these secret places, new items, characters, or artifacts are unlocked that change the basic rules and provide even more content. There is also a final boss in Risk of Rain 2 that must be found through a puzzle and can eventually be defeated in an epic multi-phase battle.
For a player, Risk of Rain 2 is the best title in the genre
How is Risk of Rain 2 rated? On Steam, the third-person shooter has over 330,000 ratings, of which 93% are positive.
The Steam user Shadow_Wolf writes after almost 190 hours that he has been playing Risk of Rain 2 for years and loves how more and more new content is released.
Also, Quadratic Entity has kind words about the game. He says it is his absolute favorite game of the genre. He further mentions the reasonable price for the amount of content and that the DLCs are also worthwhile.
Are there any negative voices regarding Risk of Rain 2? Yes, but these are very limited and most negative reviews were given when the DLC Survivors of the Storm was released. According to the reviews, the expansion introduced some bugs that also affected the old content.
The recent reviews (as of November 28, 2025) are, however, 95% positive. The user Amnesia criticizes on Steam the slow start of a run, as items must first be looted from crates in the somewhat spacious worlds. At the beginning, you are quite slow, which only improves with time.
While there are thousands of games on Steam, there are always hidden gems among them. A couple has created their own title and receives strong praise from players.
What kind of game is this? Banquet for Fools is an action-adventure RPG from the two-person developer team Hannah and Joseph Game that is currently in Early Access.
The game mixes an open world with a combat system that is more familiar from beat ’em ups and brawlers. Although the title is quite unknown, it is likely a hidden diamond, especially when looking at the Steam ratings.
Here you can see what to expect in Update 5:
Start video
Banquet for Fools shows in the trailer what its fifth update brings in terms of innovations
Hidden Diamond
How is the title rated? Banquet for Fools currently has 94% positive ratings on Steam despite being in Early Access. The title is liked by almost every one of the approximately 200 users who have submitted a rating on Steam.
The game is interesting not only because of its mix of genres but also due to its setting and story. Players are sent with their group to a cursed island that a lord wants to inhabit so he can grow a profitable spice there. The players’ task is to explore and eliminate the island and its dangers.
Their group consists of four companions who may freely explore the world. Whenever the action bar is filled, the game can be paused to switch to “Combat Dome” mode. Tactical actions can then be carried out or a target can be selected.
What comes with the release? Banquet for Fools will be in Early Access on Steam until January 23, 2026, before being released as a full version. The title currently costs €19.50.
The game has recently been expanded through major Update 5, which has brought 10 new maps, a town, and new content, as well as more music into the game.
Additionally, players have gained the ability to purchase a house and manage a pet enclosure for their domestic and farm animals.
Regarding combat, the new update has added many new weapons that players can use. New armors and ornament items have also been introduced.
Is the game linear? No, the players’ actions and deeds in Banquet for Fools influence the mission outcome, the harvest of spices, and the satisfaction of the lord, who ultimately has to decide on the success of the mission.
Thus, the title can be played through multiple times with different play styles, which will also affect the end of the game.
With such a good rating and a fair price, the couple once again shows that good games do not have to be expensive. Perhaps this is also a statement to GTA 6, where fans have long debated whether a price of €100 is justified: Players fear GTA 6 might cost €100, experts say: that’s unlikely

Content creator and Twitch streamer Viktor “iBlali” or “VIK” Roth has been active as a content creator in the German scene since 2006. In the podcast Henke’s Corner, he talked about that time period and how his channel almost got deleted.
Who is it about? Viktor Roth was one of the first to upload Let’s Plays on the platform with his YouTube channel “Aligator1024” in 2006. During this time, he also operated a second channel named “iBlali,” where he had the very popular format AliTells.
Here he answered questions and comments from his community. In other formats, he presented myths or glitches from various video games.
Nowadays, Viktor Roth does not operate all of these YouTube channels anymore but has renamed his channel “BlaVlog” to “VIK” and treats it as his main channel. VIK streams gaming or reactions on Twitch from time to time.
In his current videos, VIK deals with societal and internet topics. Gaming videos still find their place on his channel.
VIK has been part of the German creator scene for almost 20 years and is still relevant. On his YouTube channel “VIK,” he entertains over 1 million subscribers, and almost 500,000 people follow him on Twitch (sources: YouTube and Twitch).

These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
YouTuber VIK feared for his channel at night
Why was Vik almost banned? At the time, VIK was still part of the YouTube network Mediakraft with other creators. The agency supported the YouTuber in his work as a content creator and also helped him in a particular situation.
What was Mediakraft? Mediakraft was one of the first YouTube networks that signed many different YouTube channels and their operators. It was founded by media producer and journalist Christoph Krachten.
Mediakraft supported creators in the production and marketing of their videos. The goal was to help YouTube channels grow and to provide them with advice and assistance.
In the 2010s, many German YouTubers were at Mediakraft. In addition to VIK, Y-Titty and ApeCrime were also part of the agency.
Mediakraft was dissolved in 2021. The departure of several prominent creators and criticism of support and contract conditions likely contributed to the network’s crisis.
VIK recounts that he received 12 strikes in one day. To explain: After 3 strikes on a YouTube channel, it is permanently deleted, which would have meant the deletion of VIK’s livelihood at that time.
The reason for the strikes was his intro. A viewer had created an intro for him that contained unlicensed music. VIK used that intro in 12 videos, which were all struck by YouTube at once.
Then VIK tried to reach Christoph Krachten as quickly as possible in the middle of the night:
Then I tried to reach Christoph Krachten at three in the morning, because at that time I was still with Mediakraft. I couldn’t reach him, didn’t sleep. He called me back at eight in the morning and said: “We’ll sort this out.” Luckily, he did. That was the great thing about being in a YouTube network back then. Otherwise, the channel would have just been gone.
What else does VIK say? VIK had his “main time” as a YouTuber in the 2010s. At that time, VIK says, the German YouTube still consisted of “nerds.” There was more room for creativity.
Nowadays, says the YouTuber, everything is much more professional, which naturally allows for more opportunities, but VIK also feels that authenticity has been lost. Some influencers only care about the money, he says.
It has become much quieter around him, says VIK, which he also enjoys. The content creator already has possible future plans. If he is no longer in demand, he would like to work as an editor for an influencer.
MeinMMO editor Dariusz has learned that he has been making a mistake in ARC Raiders for weeks. And you can either enjoy it or learn from it.
In ARC Raiders, you don’t have to risk your own, hard-earned gear in every raid. You can always start a round with a free loadout and complete quests or farm materials without the risk of losing your best weapons, augments, or shields.
When you play with a free loadout, you get a random weapon, a shield, a few items like bandages or shield regenerators, and a free augment. This augment has limited inventory space, a low carry weight, and no safety bag.
Start video
ARC Raiders zeigt im Launch-Trailer, wie der Kampf Mensch gegen Maschine aussieht
The mistake with the free augment
After a successful raid with a free loadout, you can of course use the random equipment you received in the next raid. However, you usually exchange the free augment for a green augment to have more inventory space and a safety bag. You essentially have an improved free loadout.
I, Dariusz, am an idiot.
Whenever I successfully extracted after a raid with a free augment, I sold it for a few coins. My thoughts were clear: I don’t need it because I’ll get a new one in the next free loadout raid anyway, it takes up storage space, and any other augment is much better.
Yep, selling is not so smart.
Through a post on Reddit, I learned a month after the release that I can simply trade the augment from the free loadout in Speranza at the vendor “Lance” in the clinic for a green augment.
How did I miss that?!?
At Lance, you even have the choice of which green augment you want: Loot, Combat, Tactical… It doesn’t matter, the price remains the same.
What if I can’t use a green augment at all? If you can’t do anything with the green augments, for example because your storage has been stuffed with pink augments for weeks, then you can still sell the green augments.
The new, undamaged augment from Lance gives you 640 coins. For the free augment, you get around 100 coins. Even if you can’t do anything with the green augment, it’s still more sensible to trade the augment at Lance and then sell it.
Yes, even players like me who have spent many hours in ARC Raiders can still learn things – even if it’s because they overlooked an obvious mechanic. So maybe take another look at our beginner tips; maybe you’ve missed something too: ARC Raiders: 8 beginner tips you should know for the release

In Where Winds Meet there are some challenging boss fights, but in a completely different game mode, players struggle even more: the mini-games.
What are these mini-games? In Where Winds Meet, there are various mini-games that can be experienced solo or together with friends in co-op mode. In duels against the NPCs in the world, there are repeatedly situations where players have little chance.
Especially two of the mini-games are currently driving players crazy, yet there is a simple trick to winning each of them.
Still need help convincing your friends to play Where Winds Meet? Here are some ideas:
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Musical performance is easier than it seems
What kind of mini-game is this? The first mini-game that continuously presents players with significant challenges is musical performance. Similar to the legendary Guitar Hero, players must press the correct keys on the keyboard in time.
However, since there are 6 different keys and sometimes simultaneous notes, few players manage to bring the necessary dexterity. Thus, Reddit user RaniNamari wonders if he is just too old for the game.
The community responds cheekily: Yes, but then explains to the player a trick on Reddit. Unlike Guitar Hero, there is no penalty for pressing a button that is not currently required. This means you can keep pressing all the buttons the entire time and easily perfect the game.
Only when there are notes that must be held, one must be careful and hold the button as intended. Otherwise, everything can simply be spammed.
Pitch-Pot Trouble
Why are players frustrated with this mini-game? Right at the beginning at the Generals Shrine, there is the opportunity to play against an NPC Pitch-Pot. The character must throw arrows into a vase while intoxicated.
As a player, this means keeping the mouse and sometimes a second keyboard cursor in a moving circle, to then click the mouse button at the right moment. However, unlike the intro at Generals Shrine, the mini-game later in the game is quite tricky.
Not only do the circles move much faster, but they are also smaller. Thus, Reddit user ZHelish states that the mini-game is harder than the Abyss bosses in the game. Yet, here too, the community has a tip.
Thus, user Contribution_Real explains on Reddit that the mini-game is significantly influenced by the Determination attribute. Leveling this attribute makes the mini-game easier and allows for easier wins.
The mini-games in Where Winds Meet are one of many sandbox activities that can occupy a lot of time. For those who prefer to be a bit more productive, side quests might be a better option. However, one of them is currently causing issues: Where Winds Meet: Woven in Malice – Start Quest and Fix Issues

In ARC Raiders there are many quests and one of them sends you to pick up a memento. We will show you where to find the memento and why a bug can prevent you from completing the quest.
What kind of quest is this? The quest is called Majors Footlocker. You will receive it at some point as you progress with the arms dealer “Tian Wen”. Your task is to retrieve a memento from a chest and successfully escape with this item.
The quest is simple as long as you know the location, but some players encounter problems. A bug can prevent you from completing the quest.

Majors Footlocker: Location and problems caused by bugs
Where can I find the chest? The chest is located in the Ruby Residence on the Dam Battlefield map. You can find it in the northwest of the map, specifically in an apartment in one of the buildings. There are three facilities in total, but you need to visit the one on the southwest side.
Go up the staircase to the second floor and enter the apartment on that floor.
In the apartment, you then pass by the bed into the next room.
Now take the entrance on the left side to the next room.
In this room, you will find a metal chest on a round table that you need to interact with. Pick up the item “Memento von Major Aiva”.
You need to go to this buildingThis is what the Major’s chest looks like
After you have done that, the first step of your mission is complete. Now you just need to successfully extract. If you have also managed that, you must speak with Tian Wen and collect your reward. She will give you the blueprint for the “Shellbreaker” ammunition for the eponymous rifle against the ARC.
This is how the quest goes optimally, but there are some players who report a bug that makes completing the quest impossible.
How does the bug occur? This usually happens when you are eliminated with the memento from your inventory. After that, you have no chance to interact with the chest again. That sounds disappointing at first, but there are two ways you can work around the bug.
Can I avoid the bug? Partially and with a bit of luck, you can avoid the bug. There are two possibilities:
You visit the chest with a friend who has just started the quest. Let him open the chest and you can interact with it as well.
You jump around in front of the chest and try to spam the interaction button. With a bit of luck, the chest will open for you and you can continue with the quest.
Currently, it does not seem that the bug has been fixed yet. We will of course keep you updated and update our post if Embark addresses the issue. In the meantime, feel free to check out the latest patch notes, as they introduce a new feature in the game that punishes naughty players: ARC Raiders: Patch Notes for Update 1.4.0 – Fry your character if you are naughty
