The US site Kotaku interviewed a number of players who have invested huge amounts of money in Genshin Impact. These so-called “Whales” talked about their reasons and their approach to pulling.
Who are “Whales”? Whales refers to gamers who spend very large sums of money on microtransactions. They are usually found in free-to-play and gacha games and belong to the user group that essentially finances the game almost single-handedly.
For example, only 2% of all players of the mobile game “Clash of Dragons” generate a whopping 40% of all the game’s revenue (via. Venturebeat).
There is no exact amount of money that defines when someone qualifies as a “Whale”. This figure is often subjective and depends on personal views. For some, spending €1,500 already qualifies someone as a Whale. For others, it starts at €5,000.
The US site Kotaku interviewed a number of players who would call themselves “Whales” about their reasons for whaling. According to their own statements, they have spent extremely different amounts of money, ranging between €1,000 and €90,000.
This is what Whales say about their reasons: The main reason for the often enormous expenditures of Whales can be summarized as “One really wants to own something”, such as a character or a weapon. However, individual preferences diverge quickly at this point:
Some want to have the strongest characters
Some want to have the most beautiful characters
Some want to have everything
The interviewed Whales are willing to pay the necessary money because Genshin Impact is simply a good free game that they like to support. The money spent flows to the developers, who produce more enjoyable content. One player who invested about €6,000 said:
If people create a good game thanks to microtransactions, then I will invest my money to support it. […]
Solian_13 to Kotaku.
Another player, himself a developer from the mobile sector, remarked: “I think gacha games have less monetization. […] It is separate from the gameplay. One makes a good game and then takes gacha as monetization. In free strategy games like Clash of Clans, it is the core and you pay for time. […]”
The reasons were also somewhat personal in nature. Another Whale player explained that Genshin Impact helps him with his mental problems and makes him happier. For him, the game is even the cheaper alternative. Proper therapy would cost him significantly more in his country than what he has invested in Genshin (over €1,000).
The streamer RazerNinjas, who remained anonymous and invested about €90,000 in Genshin Impact, cites several reasons:
On one hand, he simply wants to deal as much damage as possible
On the other hand, he finds it “visually appealing” when all characters are maximized
Additionally, it is part of his stream to showcase the potential of maximized characters to the viewers.
Highly sought-after characters like Raiden Shogun, Venti, or Ayaka have brought millions of dollars to the developers of Genshin Impact.
This is how the Whales proceed: Since whaling can obviously become very expensive, all respondents from Kotaku had a stable job, with some of them even being very well-paid. These players worked in fields such as cybersecurity, banking, or government institutions. Accordingly, they also spent more money on Genshin Impact.
However, the Whales’ expenditures were reportedly planned. Most did not simply throw money around, but created a plan, for example:
One person wanted to have all characters from Inazuma.
Another person always tracked the current meta and maximized the strongest characters
A third wanted to fully upgrade just their favorite character and its optimal weapon
No money was spent outside of the plan; instead, it was saved for often months, until the desired banner was available again. The exception was for those players who simply wanted to own all characters, like the streamer RazerNinjas.
This is what the Whales criticize: The respondents took the matter of money very seriously. They all believed that one should only spend as much money on the game as one can afford. Some of them reported that they reduced their spending as soon as they realized it was harming them financially.
About half of the respondents even described gacha mechanics as predatory and dangerous. They have the potential to harm people who may have less self-control and spend beyond their means in the game.
Too many people chase the dopamine rush that comes from pulling the desired character. Or they get swept away by the hype. It’s not worth it. It’s just pixels.
J to Kotaku
Particularly younger Genshin fans are considered a vulnerable group that should be protected, according to some of the interviewed Whales. The danger of being “sucked” into the game is too great.
If you are also on the hunt for Primogems to pull new characters, here are some for free:
The legendary midlaner Faker is considered the best player of League of Legends of all time. But even he makes mistakes and dies completely needlessly in the jungle at level 1. The Twitch streamer Tyler1 watches as the legendary player fails and looks for explanations. Is he hacked, is he just trolling, or does Faker have something wrong with him?
Who are the two?
The man with the muscles is Tyler “Tyler” Steinkamp, the biggest Twitch streamer for League of Legends. A pretty rough guy, but he melts for Team T1 and Faker.
The man next to him is Lee “Faker” Sang-heyok: The South Korean is regarded as the best player of all time in LoL. He became a world champion three times early on and is back in the finals of Worlds in 2022. Faker is so good that he has the nickname “The Undying Demon King”, and his jungler during the World Championship run “Bengi” had the nickname “The Right Hand of God”.
The two have often appeared together. It is known that T1, like many LoL players, idolizes Faker – how Faker feels about Tyler1 is only a matter of speculation.
Start video
The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
What do you see in the clip? Tyler1 is watching a clip of Faker on Twitch. It shows Faker dying at the Blue Buff with the champion Bel’Veth in a solo queue game, which is a mob that grants an important buff when defeated. He fails at a maneuver that junglers around the world pull off hundreds of times every day:
Faker receives a leash from the mob that grants the Blue Buff – someone is helping him by hitting the mob
Then he knocks the Blue Buff down to a few HP, moves away from it to save time
While the Blue Buff is hitting Faker, he already pulls the next mob to save time
But something goes wrong with the action, the Blue Buff is pulled too far from its spawn point, “resets”, returns to its original location, and regenerates health points.
Faker tries to salvage the situation, kills the second mob, goes after the Blue Buff, but miscalculates and dies in the process.

How does Tyler1 react to the situation? Tyler1 can’t understand the action, he starts grinning in disbelief as he sees Faker clearly pulling the Blue Buff too far away. Tyler then looks for an explanation for why his idol, “the greatest player of all time”, fails like this.
“Is he hacked? Faker? Big Faker? What’s going on?” asks Tyler1.
In the chat, fans speculate: “Is he drunk?” – “That’s definitely not Faker.”
In the end, Tyler1 is sure: A server lag must be behind it!
But it can also be seen as a sign that even the greatest LoL player of all time can make a big mistake in a meaningless match in the solo queue during an absolute routine task.
Maybe Faker wasn’t even looking at his monitor at that moment but was secretly playing Valorant:
Genshin Impact gives away codes to players repeatedly, allowing them to obtain free rewards, and in November 2022 you can look forward to gifts again
What kind of code is this? In Genshin Impact, you can currently receive 60 Primogems by redeeming a free code. The code is provided by the developer studio HoYoverse.

World of Warcraft invites you to reveal your characters. Many are participating and bringing some silly details to light.
A lot of time, energy, and love has gone into many characters in World of Warcraft. After all, Blizzard’s MMORPG is a game that some of us have been playing for almost 18 years now. Hence, the developers behind Warcraft thought it was high time to share the story behind your characters with the whole world.
As soon as Blizzard called for this, it quickly became a real success on Twitter. When you tweet your character’s name, Blizzard reveals to you and the whole world what the character has accomplished – and what they keep failing at.
What’s happening on Twitter? Since November 3, 2022, the hashtag “#WarcraftStory” has been trending on Twitter. Even in the German Twitter trends, it temporarily reached number 2 with over 115,000 tweets on this subject.
The Twitter trends, at 1:00 AM (November 4, 2022).
The reason is that the Twitter account of World of Warcraft has given interested parties the opportunity to enrich their character’s story with a graphic and a short narrative. This information usually includes one or two highlights from the character’s career, such as the number of defeated raid bosses, collected pets, or honorable victories achieved.
However, there are also a few “embarrassing” pieces of information. This includes details like the number of deaths from fall damage or how many potions a character has consumed.
The range of information is quite large, so different info comes to light each time. This attracts many to share their information, whether to boast or to amuse themselves over the embarrassing highs.

What can you do if it doesn’t work? Some players report that it doesn’t work for them. Either the character cannot be found or there is an error message. In that case, there are a number of things you should check:
It only works for characters from modern WoW – it does not work for classic characters.
Check the spelling. Are all special characters correct, and is the name of the realm and the region you are playing in?
Has the character been inactive for a while? Then log in briefly and out again.
Is the character below level 10? Then it cannot be displayed.
Is your Battle.net account set to “Private”? Then you must enable the function “Share my game data with community developers” on the Battle.net website under “Account Settings” → “Privacy” → “Privacy: Game Data & Profile”.
Have you also collected your “Warcraft Story”? Or would it be better if you didn’t know these details about your characters so well?

The gunsmith of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a monster. There are, without exaggeration, nearly endless customization options. But the system crashed shortly after release and the developers had to disable an important feature.
What’s going on? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had a successful release – at peak, 250,000 people played the new CoD shooter on Steam. But there were also some serious issues.
Game crashes, lags, wobbly servers – it didn’t go optimally for many players, even though they mostly managed to play their matches. There was already an update to reduce game crashes – regarding issues related to player parties.
To further reduce the likelihood of crashes, an important feature has now been disabled, with which you were supposed to build the best weapons in the game: the attachment tuning.
CoD MW2: Attachment tuning disabled – led to crashes
When will the gun tuning return? So far, there is no information on that.

Tweet translation: We have temporarily disabled attachment tuning to investigate game crashes for users who have played with 5 tuned attachments. If you currently have tuned attachments equipped, you need to remove them and equip them [without tuning] again.
How powerful is the gunsmith? With attachment tuning, the gunsmith is more powerful than ever in Call of Duty.
Once you have leveled a weapon to max level, the attachment tuning activates. Almost every attachment can be customized individually.
Example Underbarrel – Edge-47 Grip: This part has advantages such as a reduction in aim stability and recoil stabilization. As a disadvantage, you have to accept a reduced sensitivity speed.
With tuning, the focus of the attachment can be shifted – if you want the advantages to be more effective, you adjust the sliders and customize the attachment to your liking.
However, more advantages also mean that the disadvantages will have a stronger effect – the penalty on sensitivity speed also increases.
The best weapons in CoD MW2 can only be created with this feature. You can still build very powerful weapons just by using the attachments – but the last bit of tuning will be unavailable for now.
Once there is information about when the feature will return, we will update the article. If you want to learn more about the gunsmith until then, you can find our article on it here and here we embed the English developer trailer:

CoD Modern Warfare 2: Gunsmith Trailer
The launch of CoD MW2 was successful, but went bumpy. However, the developers are working on fixing one problem after another – but not without consequences.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is not running smoothly on all platforms. While console players can happily game in multiplayer, PC players with an Nvidia graphics card have to deal with massive graphical issues. We show you a quick fix.
Update, November 4: Nvidia has released a hotfix and the issues with the drivers should be resolved. You can now download and use the current drivers again (via twitter.com).
How can I prevent crashes on PC? Please note that this is a temporary workaround and not an official hotfix. Here are some things you can do to still be able to play on your PC with minimal issues:
Install an older driver from Nvidia
If you have already downloaded driver version 526.47, the fight is not yet lost. You can download an older version of the driver from Nvidia’s website to overwrite the new version.
Here we have a link to an older version: Driver 522.25
Manually switch your driver version
If you do not want to download an older version of the driver, you can also switch it manually. Go to your Device Manager and find your graphics card. Then open your graphics card properties and switch to the “Driver” tab. Now you need to click on “Previous Driver” to activate the last version of your driver.
Fix for Nvidia 526.47 is already in the works
When will an official fix be released? Nvidia itself has not prominently commented on the issues or made it aware. It was the PC team behind CoD, Beenox, that warned players on Twitter not to download the latest version of the driver:

As we had already reported in our solution proposals, Beenox announces that players should rather switch to older driver versions.
The news site “PCGamer” has thus contacted Nvidia to find out if a hotfix is already in development. According to Nvidia’s response: “A bug for this game (CoD: MW2) has been listed, for which a hotfix is already being created.”
However, when the hotfix will be released and how large it will be is still unknown. The fact is that with the mentioned solutions you can get into the shooter more relaxed and error-free – there were some problems on Steam for this reason as well.
What problems occur in version 526.47? If you download the latest driver version from Nvidia, you will encounter significant errors. These include:
Micro stuttering
Textures like walls or bushes disappearing for a few seconds
The image flickers
Game crashes
That was all the important information regarding the driver issue with Nvidia. Were we able to help you? And what will you play first now that you’ve resolved your problem? Please leave us a comment!
Not only the Nvidia driver causes problems, but also the weapon smithing in Modern Warfare 2:
New World is currently enjoying the highest player counts of 2022, after the MMORPG fulfilled a wish of the community.
What was the wish of the community? Players of New World wished for so-called “Fresh Start“ servers, which the MMORPG received on November 2nd.
Even at the announcement of the release date of Brimstone Sands, players hoped for a “Fresh Start”. On October 18th, the most recent update of the MMORPG was released, but initially without new servers.
A “Fresh Start” is a new beginning. So players wished that there would be servers where everyone has to start from scratch and no one can transfer their high-level character before the release of Brimstone Sands.
A Fresh Start primarily aims to influence the gaming experience of all players on the server. The voluntary new beginning of an individual would not affect the economy – however, it must fundamentally redevelop on a fresh server.

New World shows in a magnificent trailer a new weapon that many have been waiting for a year
Player numbers reach peak in 2022
How do the player numbers look? Already the release of Brimstone Sands caused a strong increase in player numbers to almost 70,000 players and the highest numbers since February 2022. The release of the new servers brought another upswing.
Even on November 2nd, when the first fresh servers went online, player numbers on Steam soared to a peak of 119,000 simultaneous active players (via SteamCharts). A comparably high value was last seen in December 2021, when 117,000 players were online. More players than on November 2nd had New World not seen in the entire year of 2022.
How full are the servers? Many of the new servers are running really well and even have queues, but some of the old servers also have good player counts. For example, Aaru is at a solid 1,300 and Asgard at 1,270 players (as of November 3, 2022, 5:30 PM).
If you want to get an overview for yourself, we will insert a screenshot of the current player counts on the European servers here (via nwdb.info).
New World Server status on November 3rd via nwdb.info
The community celebrates the rise in player numbers
What are the players saying? Not only the MMORPG is happy about the increased player numbers, but also the community. Many players share screenshots on reddit of the forests filled with campfires, the respawn points of the players.
Leroy_Spankinz via reddit: “Campfire appreciation post. Thank you to all the players who played today!”
One user even wrote that the experience of a Fresh Start brought him to tears of joy:
ardotschgi via reddit: “The true Fresh Start experience brings tears to my eyes”
The player Optima_JAC complements in the comments: “I can’t wait to go online again! The first time in a long time that I am excited!”
If you are considering whether you should play New World right now, you can be sure to find enough fellow players – provided you can make it through the queue.
If you successfully make it through the queue, you can look forward to a new weapon, the greatsword, which was added to the MMORPG with Brimstone Sands. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch shows you builds with the new sword for DPS and tanks.
AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 7000 in its stream. MeinMMO explains what you need to know about AMD’s new graphics card.
AMD has introduced the first “RX 7000” graphics cards in its stream. The first details of the two fastest graphics cards that AMD plans to bring to market soon were shown, aiming to compete with Nvidia.
The most important points at a glance:
The RX 7900 XTX will be AMD’s fastest graphics card. The GPU is expected to be released on December 13, 2022, with an official price of 999 US dollars.
With the RX 7900 XT, AMD has presented a second graphics card. This model is positioned below the RX 7900 XTX. Prices start at 899 US dollars, and the card is also expected to be released on December 13.
All new graphics cards utilize the new RDNA3 architecture and a special 5nm chiplet architecture. The new architecture is expected to be significantly more efficient.
With DisplayPort 2.1, FSR 3.0, and HYPR-RX, AMD also showcased a range of new features that are set to be available for gamers in the coming months. Additionally, AMD is partnering with manufacturers to offer custom gaming PCs with AMD hardware.
Also new in the graphics cards are AI units integrated into the chip. Until now, AMD GPUs did not offer an equivalent to Nvidia’s Tensor Cores.
MeinMMO will detail the two new graphics cards that AMD introduced today.
RX 7900 XTX – This is AMD’s new flagship for 8K gaming
What exactly does the RX 7900 XTX offer? With the RX 7900 XTX, AMD has introduced a graphics card specifically aimed at gamers wanting to play in 4K or 8K. AMD has packed a lot of technology into the new graphics card, including DisplayPort 2.1, FSR 3.0, and a new technology called HYPR-RX that is supposed to improve latency. Additionally, the graphics cards feature a special chiplet architecture that is intended to be very efficient.
It is also worth mentioning that the RX 7900 XTX is said to require a power of 355 watts – Nvidia’s RTX 4090 is rated with a TDP of 450 watts, thus officially requiring more.
When will the RX 7900 XTX be released? The graphics card is officially set to release on December 13, 2022, just before the Christmas shopping season.
What will the RX 7900 XTX cost? The fastest Radeon GPU is expected to cost 999 US dollars at release, making it significantly cheaper than the competition. Nvidia has a suggested retail price of 1,599 US dollars for the RTX 4090. In Germany, prices are likely to be just above the 1,000-euro mark.

What exactly does the RX 7900 XT offer? AMD’s second graphics card is also intended for 4K gaming. The feature set is identical to the RX 7900 XTX, but it offers fewer compute units and a lower clock frequency.
When will the RX 7900 XT be released? The GPU is also expected to be released on December 13, 2022.
What will the RX 7900 XT cost? The graphics card is expected to retail for 899 US dollars. Thus, it is 100 US dollars cheaper than the XTX version.

AMD throws a few jabs at Nvidia
What are these jabs? AMD could not resist throwing a few targeted jabs at Nvidia during the unveiling of the new graphics cards. They stated that no new power adapter is needed for the new graphics cards – referring to the issues that Nvidia is currently experiencing with burnt cables (via GameStar.de).
Additionally, they proudly announced that there is no need to buy a new system or case. The graphics cards will also fit into older systems. A further jab towards Nvidia, who had predominantly shown how large the new RTX 4090 has become in their presentation.
Can the cards even be bought? After the official release of the RTX 3000 generation, hardly anyone was able to buy a GPU. Either the graphics cards were hardly available or far too expensive. Thus, you had to pay thousands of euros on eBay for a single graphics card.
What do you think? Does AMD have a chance against Nvidia with the presented graphics cards? Will you upgrade or prefer to stay with your current graphics card?

In September 2021, Twitch streamer Chandler “Clutchbelk” Belk was at the peak of his career. However, after a dispute with streamer “SenseiSwishem”, he ended up on a blacklist and could no longer participate in official tournaments of CoD: Warzone. After the ban was lifted, he swore in tears that he is not really that kind of person.
What happened?
At the beginning of September 2021, the world was still fine for Clutchbelk – stable over 200 viewers in the stream and a contract with the Los Angeles Guerrillas (team of the CoD: League) marked the temporary peak of his career.
But by the end of the month, things looked different – due to some toxic comments in his stream during a tournament, he was excluded from all official CoD tournaments. This reduced his earnings and opportunities to gain attention.
Now, more than a year later, Clutchbelk is allowed to participate in tournaments again and showed emotional remorse in a video.
By the way, Warzone 2.0 is coming soon. Here you can find all the important information about the free battle royale:
Streamer insists in tears that he is actually very different
In the tournament that led to Clutchbelk’s ban, he expressed himself very aggressively towards the streamer SenseiSwishem and her teammates. The most intense scene was:
Last clip, in this clip @queenshadows_ kills belk, before belk sees who has killed him he says “guess it’s just nice shots” then sees it was Allie who killed him, he says “yeah sit up there like a good bitch”… pic.twitter.com/0UxFXNUVbK
Clutchbelk gets caught while crossing the street and momentarily respects the performance for the quick kill, where he had no chance. However, when he realizes that his killer is a teammate of SenseiSwishem, he becomes toxic and sexist – “Yeah, sit there like a good b***h”.
As a result, the player received a small shitstorm. Many in the community felt that Clutchbelk’s behavior was unacceptable. Moreover, it happened during an official CoD tournament.
Clutchbelk ended up on a “blacklist” and was no longer allowed to compete for the big prize pots.
Recently, he received the news that his ban was lifted. In an emotional podcast, he explained how tough the time was for him. He swore in tears that he is actually very different:

Clutchbelk says, for example: “The situation completely broke me because I tried to give everything. I know that I am a very competitive person. But I am not the person everyone thought I was.”
To get by, he worked for a delivery service but continued to stream. Then came the relieving news: He is allowed to participate in tournaments again: “It was as if someone had taken a huge field rock off me.”
Just before the launch of the new Warzone 2.0, a fitting Halloween present.

Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris (34) is number 1 on Twitch in Germany when it comes to followers. Theo “Scurrows” Bottländer, who became known through casino streams and role-playing in GTA V, now claims that MontanaBlack owes him money, a considerable sum of over €10,000 – and is publicly exerting pressure.
Scurrows first gained fame with GTA V and became one of the most-watched gambling streamers worldwide (via sullygnome). Through a deal with the casino Stake, which is now banned on Twitch, he apparently also became one of the highest-paid streamers in Germany. If he received even a quarter of what his US colleague Trainwreck earned, Scurrows should be set for life.
MontanaBlack was also extremely successful with casino streams for a while. It is said that he borrowed money from Scurrows for gambling. Scurrows wants it back now. But his way of demanding it is not well-received.
MontanaBlack and Scurrows both enjoy playing GTA Online.

According to a Twitter user, Scurrows reportedly provided some more context during the stream. It is said that MontanaBlack borrowed money from Scurrows to gamble (via Twitter).
The streamer Kevin “orangemorange” Bongers, who is friends with Scurrows, also stated that he was cheated by MontanaBlack. He supposedly bought a GameBoy for €3,000 from MontanaBlack, but never received it (via Twitter).
How are people reacting? On Twitter, some users expressed surprise at this information. After all, MontanaBlack has distanced himself from friends in the past who owed him money.
Some comments also note that MontanaBlack is unlikely to be short on cash to settle his debts. This is very disappointing, said one Twitter user (via Twitter).
Others defended MontanaBlack: he must just be very busy and is not acting with bad intention (via Twitter).
Scurrows reacts with an ultimatum
This is how Scurrows wants to get the money back: Scurrows was apparently dissatisfied with the reaction to his tweet, so he followed up on November 3 – and gave MontanaBlack an ultimatum.
What kind of ultimatum is this? If MontanaBlack does not provide proof of having transferred the money by 8:00 PM, Scurrows promises to donate it to charity. Additionally, he wants to add another €15,000 from his own pocket.
Scurrows’ demand: Don’t do it for me, but for a good cause. He supported this demand with the shocking photo of a starving child (via Twitter).
In this way, MontanaBlack is likely to be motivated to transfer the money. After all, it is suggested that he is partly responsible if the money is not donated.
Twitter users believe: Ultimatum has an unpleasant aftertaste
How is this received? While Scurrows had still retained some support for his initial indication of the debt, the ultimatum went too far for some.
To them, the ultimatum seemed as if Scurrows could donate such a sum at any time. However, by tying the donation to a payment from MontanaBlack, it gives the whole situation an unpleasant aftertaste, said one user. After all, it is for a good cause (via Twitter).
How does Scurrows respond to the criticism? He justifies himself: It is his money, and he will miss it later. Without the repayment from MontanaBlack, he can only donate a smaller amount (via Twitter).
He also simply ignored numerous comments, and he is said to have blocked some users who criticized him (via Twitter).
What does MontanaBlack say? Currently, MontanaBlack has not publicly responded to Scurrows’ demand. We will keep you updated when new information comes in.
Update 20:15 – Scurrows just stated in a stream on his Twitch channel that MontanaBlack has not responded to his demand and has let the deadline of 8:00 PM pass.
Scurrows then donated €20,000 live on stream to Bread for the World.
Scurrows’ attempt to collect the alleged debts comes just a few weeks after Twitch introduced new regulations on gambling on the platform:

For years, there has been a controversial debate about the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar and, moreover, in November and December. There is no critical word from EA in the hype trailer for the new World Cup mode in FIFA 23. On the contrary, they are excited that the World Cup is taking place in November, as it opens up new opportunities to earn money in FUT. This is cynical, believes MeinMMO author Schuhmann.
Why do so many people have a problem with the 2022 World Cup? There are two points of criticism: the location and the timing.
This is the problem with the location: The World Cup is being held in Qatar. For years, press representatives, politicians, human rights organizations, and even individual football officials and teams have criticized that the stadiums there are being built under poor conditions by foreign workers. There are talks of slave labor:
According to the World Cup organizing committee, 37 people have died during the construction of the stadiums, only three of them from work-related causes. (via theguardian).
However, according to other sources from ZDF, which refer to Amnesty International, 15,021 non-Qataris are reported to have died. (via amnesty.org)
There have been accusations for years that the World Cup was only awarded to Qatar because votes from FIFA officials were bought. Qatar is engaging in “sportswashing”, wanting to polish its image with a lavish and expensive festival while simultaneously covering up the criticism of the conditions there.
Additionally, the human rights situation in Qatar is criticized and that football actually plays no role there.
If you watch the new trailer for FIFA 23, do you know afterwards in which country the World Cup takes place?
Start video
FIFA 23 disappoints fans with the new World Cup mode so much that they want to return to the 2014 version
What’s the problem with the timing? Normally, the World Cup is held every 4 years in the summer. However, that’s not possible in Qatar because it is simply too hot in the summer to play football.
Therefore, the World Cup will be played from November 20 to December 18: This is strange for many in Europe because a “Winter World Cup” lacks the summer World Cup atmosphere. Traditionally, many watch the World Cup in the garden while grilling, or at public viewings outdoors – none of that will happen if there’s snow outside, gingerbread is eaten, and mulled wine is drunk.
Moreover, a December World Cup disrupts the entire planning of the football year around it: the Bundesliga will pause for 10 weeks. Each team plays 14 games in 2022 and then 20 remaining in 2023.
There are also objections from environmentalists: It is grotesque that the World Cup is held in “air-conditioned stadiums” in times of climate change, right in the desert.
Timing of the World Cup gives FIFA 23 a “unique opportunity”
How does FIFA 23 see this in their trailer? The trailer for FIFA 23 sounds cynical: In the trailer, the speakers, a community manager, and a producer are excited about the unique opportunity that the World Cup is held in November.
Something else, which I know will please the community: Because this World Cup is taking place in November and December […] allows us the timing of this World Cup to create a unique experience for FUT. It will be a full season with daily content.
EA promises:
Special player items
Tasks
Bringing special cards for players that shape the World Cup
The World Cup mode can now be combined with the FUT team that players are already building.
EA remains silent about Qatar in the trailer – uses generic phrases
Regarding the atmosphere of the World Cup, the trailer includes some generic phrases and images that would actually fit any World Cup, but not this one:
The German flag is waved vigorously
You see cheering people in the streets cheering for their teams, their faces painted with the colors of their national flag
EA promises the players they could feel the “unique atmosphere”. It speaks of an “iconic atmosphere”
The word “Qatar” does not appear in the trailer even once – it is only seen on the trophy and the banners, but it is never spoken. It is always referred to as “the biggest tournament” or “this World Cup” – it seems as if the World Cup is taking place in Mexico or South America.
This week, two Destiny 2 employees from the weapon design team met for an interview with the podcaster Destiny Massive Breakdowns. MeinMMO summarizes the most interesting topics from the podcast and reveals how Bungie thinks about the weapons of the Black Armory.
Who are the Bungie experts in the interview? The podcast was conducted with Bungie’s Senior Design Lead Chris Proctor and game designer Vivian Becks.
Chris Proctor is the Senior Weapons Lead at Bungie and has been responsible for designing the core combat systems for years. Vivian Becks primarily works on weapon designs for exotic and legendary weapons, as well as perks and balance changes. For players in Destiny 2, she has created the extremely powerful legendary perks “Voltshot,” “Crispin’s Dance,” or “Repulsor Brace,” as well as the exotic weapons “Heartshadow” and “Tender Reach.”
Together, the two Bungie employees answered questions from Destiny Massive Breakdowns and a few questions from the community.
The following 4 strong topics were discussed in the podcast:
The increasingly stronger merging of weapons and abilities
Crafting compared to existing adept weapons and the option to offer deep sight resonance weapons for purchase via raid vendors.
Future craftable exotics
A small teaser of the return of the once-popular weapons of the Black Armory
MeinMMO summarizes the most important topics of the conversation for you in this article. You can listen to the entire interview directly on the Massive Breakdowns website.
Bungie talks about weapon crafting and craftable exotics in the interview.
Stronger merging of weapons and abilities
One topic of the podcast was the merging of weapons and abilities. Some players in Destiny 2 believe that fewer abilities would benefit the game, especially in the Crucible.
However, Vivian Becks sees it differently. She says: “We have always wanted weapons and abilities to merge into a cohesive whole.”
To achieve this, there is the 3.0 abilities system. For Bungie, the 3.0 abilities system is meant to completely change the way weapons and abilities interact for the better. Balance is always the focus.
Vivian Becks explains that weapon perks that use 3.0 verbs are largely “one and the same” as those of the abilities. The only difference is that the duration of an effect of a verb can be individually adjusted for balance reasons with weapon perks.
Bungie particularly likes elemental perks, which help characterize the damage type of a weapon. They should also show players “which modifiers and shields this particular weapon is really good against” and encourage them to use it instead of just relying on their abilities.
Bungie therefore believes that when a player understands what a specific ability verb, such as weaken, suppress, or amplify, does within their abilities, they expect the same behavior from their corresponding weapon advantage and therefore utilize it. Shooting should also remain a more practical option.
With Witch Queen, Bungie introduced weapon crafting for the first time and showed the direction the loot shooter is heading in from 2022:

Lightfall will not have craftable raid weapons
Recently, Bungie announced that they would take another look at the master or adept weapons and possibly revise them. Legendary raid weapons can be built with improved perks and are therefore simply better. Chris Proctor addressed this issue in more detail.
He says: “The main problem lies in the tension between craftable raid weapons and master versions of the same weapons.” Bungie’s goal is to make master weapons from the Trials of Osiris or the Pinnacle Nightfalls “extra sharp.”
Chris Proctor mentions that guardians can obtain master weapons with improved perks from the Lightfall raid. However, these raid weapons can no longer be crafted.
However, he also mentions that there will instead be a kind of “chase” and promises more details in upcoming update information.
What is better: A self-crafted weapon with improved perks or a master weapon?
Master weapons were only planned as “cosmetics”: For players, master weapons in Destiny 2 are primarily associated with prestige. Craftable weapons can hardly compete with that.
The reasons for this are clear:
It is anything but easy to obtain master weapons.
Master weapons offer small advantages over their normal versions.
They have a unique appearance that makes them distinct and recognizable.
Chris Proctor mentions in the podcast that master weapons were not originally intended to offer as much prestige and advantages in Destiny 2. They were initially only meant to be a cosmetic variant of the base weapon. Nothing more.
Later, Bungie decided to add small improvements because they thought it wouldn’t make a big difference. However, the Destiny 2 community was much more interested in master weapons than Bungie had expected.
The players’ desire is understandable that master weapons should again become more viable compared to the craftable weapons.
Should improved perks be disabled in crafting? Destiny Massive Breakdowns asks Proctor whether it would make sense for Bungie to remove the improved perks from craftable weapons. This would, after all, ensure that master weapons are the only ones to receive improved properties, thus giving them more breathing room.
However, Chris Proctor says: “Improved attributes are the core of the crafting system and provide an incentive to use the system. There is definitely a power increase in the crafting system. 5 – 10% in the outliers, which we agree with. Ultimately, this is not that different from master weapons that are “2 – 5%” stronger than the normal versions.
Bungie’s long-term goal is to revise the weapon mod system and Chris Proctor is likely also willing to accept “the small amount of power creep that master weapons with improved perks represent.”
Destiny 2 will get more craftable exotics
Players were able to craft the exotic “Osteo Striga” in the Enclave and improve it.
Vivian Beck wants to keep exotics unique in her work at Bungie while the sandbox evolves. She also mentions that exotic weapons are the most expensive content designers create in Destiny 2. Bungie needs half a season, or 1.5 months, for this. In comparison, a legendary perk is already finished in a few days to a week.
Nonetheless, exotics, especially when they are craftable, are something players want. Even if the Witch Queen exotic “Osteo Striga” was not as freely available in the craftable version as the legendary weapons.
Chris Proctor states that initially, at the beginning of Beyond Light, the team aimed to encourage players to invest in their weapons through a hunt and/or to adapt an exotic to their playstyle. The exotic hand cannon Moonlight was a trial run for random rolls. However, he doubts that Bungie will produce more randomly rolled exotic items in the future. But they definitely want to bring more craftable exotics into the game.
The magic words “Black Armory weapons” have been dropped!
Is there a comeback for the weapons of the Black Armory? At the end of the interview, Chris Proctor lets the eyes of players who have long hoped for a return of weapons from the Black Armory shine. The excellent firearms fell victim to sunsetting and have not yet made their way back into the game.
When Destiny Massive Breakdowns addresses the return of certain weapon groups that could also be given origin traits, Proctor specifically addresses the Black Armory.
The reintroduction of weapon sets depends on the story beats associated with a specific character. The moment there is a Black Armory story beat or an Ada story beat, you can expect that the weapons of the Black Armory will also return, or if there is a really strong 14 Saints beat… or Rasputin.
says Chris Proctor in conversation with Destiny Massive Breakdowns
They want to “start making this kind of content in every season or every other season… old raid weapons, maybe dungeon weapons, maybe other sources.” However, as announced in the last “This Week at Bungie” blog, the weapons from the Deep Stone Crypt are now at the top of the update list.
What do you think about the details from the podcast interview? Do you think master weapons should be worth more than craftable weapons in Destiny 2? Feel free to leave us a comment on what you personally prefer.

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 there are no statistics and barracks like those in previous CoD entries. Players have to sift through menus to find what they are looking for. Therefore, we will show you how to easily change your calling card and when you can view your K/D.
First: Currently, you cannot view your complete K/D. Neither in-game nor on statistic sites like the CoD Tracker. In Warzone, players could access their statistics in the game without complicated detours. Unfortunately, this has changed with Modern Warfare 2.
There is currently no statistic menu item for MW2. There is also no information on when or if such a menu will be added.
You only have one way to access your kill-death ratio, and that is after finishing a match.
Kill/Death ratio is marked red for you – Not all modes offer this display
After a match, the horizon of your map and the corresponding statistics window briefly appears. Now you can see your K/D under kill/death ratio. This window includes not only your values but also those of your teammates and opponents. An expanded view of your statistics in the menu does not exist yet.
What are barracks? Barracks are a menu item in Call of Duty where you can customize your profile in the game cosmetically. This includes your showcase, calling cards, emblems, and your clan tag.
In CoD MW2, there is no direct barracks menu item, but we will show you a way to still customize your profile.
How can I access the barracks? To access your profile, you first need to open the menu. Once you have opened it, you need to move the tab until you have selected your rank icon. Now you have all menu items open to customize your profile.
Here is a visual representation of how you can access your barracks:
First, you need to open the menu at the top right corner of your screenNow you move your tab four categories to the right, where your rank icon will fitNow you have opened the “barracks” and can exchange your calling card, emblem, and other thingsA visual representation of how you can access your barracks.
So far, there are not many cosmetic items, but you can customize your showcase to show your friends what you have achieved so far. Friends and other players can then inspect your profile to see which operator you are playing and what weapon you prefer to use.
That was all the important information about the current possibilities of statistics. How do you feel about Infinity Ward removing or complicating these menu items? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, you will come across the same cards repeatedly. We show you the currently most popular players in FUT and why they are so strong.
What kind of list is this? On the popular FUT site “futbin”, data regarding the so-called “Players Game Performance” (PGP) is collected. This data shows us the number of games played with the cards, goals per game, and other interesting information.
futbin collects data of the cards that can be found on the FUT transfer market. Untradeable cards, such as objective or SBC players, cannot be evaluated.
Nevertheless, the numbers provide an interesting overview of which cards are played the most in Ultimate Team. Here we present to you the 7 most popular cards in detail (as of November 3, 2022).
1. Ousmane Dembélé
An incredible 6,151,812 games have been played with the gold card of Ousmane Dembélé. The two-footed winger has a goal rate of 0.38 goals per game, which again shows that Dembélé is likely responsible for assists in his gold version.
This makes the card so popular: Just like last year, Dembélé is again very popular in FIFA 23. For about 41,000 coins, you get a very fast winger with outstanding dribbling stats.
What makes the card special is the combination of 5 stars for skill moves and 5 stars for weak foot. You can smoothly dribble past defenders and then shoot or pass the ball precisely to the striker.
2. Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland is more popular in FIFA 23 than ever, having played 5,496,742 matches. And with an incredible goal rate of 1.08 goals per game.
This makes the card so popular: This year, Haaland fits perfectly into the meta of FIFA 23, as big, fast, and strong strikers currently score goals at will. Strong dribbling and passing stats, as well as being two-footed and having skill moves, are secondary.
What matters is that the striker can physically assert himself and has strong shooting stats. If he also has the popular Lengthy running style, goals come effortlessly. And that’s exactly what Erling Haaland offers.
Due to his strong upgrade this year, Vinicius Junior has become an extremely popular card. The gold card of the Brazilian has already played 4,442,556 games with a goal rate of 0.51 goals per game, meaning he scores every other match.
This makes the card so popular: Vinicius Junior is home on the left wing and ensures an outstanding winger with his extreme speed, paired with 5-star skills and very strong dribbling stats. His shooting stats can be perfectly enhanced with the Deadeye chemistry style, so Vinicius does not only have to provide assists.
4. Ferland Mendy
Again this year, Ferland Mendy is a popular left-back, even reaching 3,956,399 matches and placing 4th in the current most popular players in FUT.
This makes the card so popular: With Mendy, you get a very fast left-back, who can even have the Lengthy running style this year. In addition to his very high speed, the Frenchman scores with strong dribbling and passing stats, and especially with outstanding physicality.
5. Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite downgrades, Cristiano Ronaldo is still very popular and has already played 3,933,048 games, which qualifies him for 5th place. His goal rate of 1.03 goals per game is nearly as good as Erling Haaland’s.
This makes the card so popular: This year’s downgrade of Cristiano Ronaldo meant that the superstar is cheaper than ever on the FUT transfer market. You can currently get his 90-rated version for about 400,000 coins, while his last year’s 91-rated card cost over 1 million coins at the same time.
But despite the downgrade, Ronaldo is far from being bad. He is still really good and can impress with incredibly strong shooting and dribbling stats. Additionally, he has 5-star skill moves and a 4-star weak foot.
6. Joao Cancelo
Another top-left-back is Joao Cancelo. He has already played 3,816,616 matches in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
This makes the card so popular: The gold card of Joao Cancelo has everything you could wish for from a left-back in FIFA 23. He has very strong passing stats (85), high dribbling (85), and is also very quick (85). If you then use the Anchor chemistry style, it further improves his physicality, defending, and again his pace.
7. Karim Benzema
3,616,578 games with a goal rate of 0.91 goals per match have already been played with the freshly crowned Ballon d’Or winner, and not without reason, as Benzema has a really strong card this year.
This makes the card so popular: Karim Benzema excels in all areas where a FUT-23 striker must shine. He is extremely clinical, has strong dribbling, and with the Chemistry style Architect, he belongs to the fast sprinters with Lengthy running style.
He also has a 4-star combination for skill moves and weak foot, and he transforms many crosses directly with very high heading stats.

If you are still looking for a strong striker for your team, take a look here:
A user bought a 1TB SSD for 32 Euros. At first glance, this seems to be an unbeatable deal since official prices are much higher. The gamer is also not surprised when he installs the part in his PC.
SSDs are considered a performance boost for many gaming PCs. Especially very old systems can be revived with an SSD, significantly improving boot, loading, and reading times. SSDs are among the best PC-upgrades that you can install without major issues.
According to comparison sites like Geizhals, you pay around 100 Euros for a 1 TB SSD. So, an SSD with 1,000 GB of storage for about 30 Euros sounds like an excellent deal. A user reported this in a reddit thread:

SSD with 1 TB offers significantly less storage and generates endless errors
What is the problem? “Previous_Tennis” connected the SSD to his computer and tested it. In an initial test, he surprisingly found that the data looked correct, and he had no problems writing and reading data.
In a further test, he then found that the data couldn’t be correct. He explained in an update: “It seems that the controller is programmed to deceive Crystaldiskmark and CrystalDiskInfo.”
In the test, he attempts to write 100 GB of data. However, only 73.6 GB are actually written; the rest is considered “lost” or “corrupt” (damaged files). The chip inside is also a completely incorrect model and is not related to the purchased product. The actual storage size remains hidden and cannot be read by the user.
The model definitely does not offer 1 TB. In another thread, people discuss such counterfeit storage media (via reddit.com). The firmware tells the PC that it is an SSD with 1 TB, but the actual storage installed is much lower.
How does the community react? Some users also explain that the price is absurdly low. At 3.2 US cents per GB, this drive is far below what someone would pay for the bare chip on the wholesale market.
Some users complain in the comments under the thread that there must be a clear method behind it: the sellers use product listings with good ratings. However, the product being sold has nothing to do with the good reviews, as they pertain to a different product that is not being offered. One person writes on reddit:
Almost every time I look at my orders from more than a year ago, the items I “ordered” have been replaced with completely unrelated goods.
Pay attention to reviews on Amazon and eBay when purchasing
How can I protect myself against such offers? Often, using common sense is enough. 1 TB for 30 Euros? Absurd 16 TB for a mere 100 Euros? You should always strongly question such “offers”, because in the end, you may receive counterfeit goods or a defective product.
A glance at current product reviews or the seller’s ratings often helps as well. If dozens of buyers complain about the seller or the purchased product, you should also stay away from supposedly good deals.
There are also other ways to deceive customers. Just recently, Amazon deleted over 200 million fake reviews intended to mislead buyers:
The price and release date of PSVR2 is finally known. On one hand, fans are excited about the new hardware, while on the other hand, the high price is being criticized. MeinMMO would like to know from you how you feel about the price.
Sony has finally revealed the key data for PSVR2. We now know the technical features, release date, accessories, and price of the new hardware. However, this price is currently being debated controversially, as the new device comes with a hefty price tag of nearly 600 euros.
What is the new PSVR2? PSVR2 is the new virtual reality hardware for the PS5. And indeed, the technical specs of the PSVR2 are impressive. The set includes, among other things:
4K HDR display, enabling gaming at up to 120 FPS
Eye tracking and inside-out tracking
Balanced Fresnel lens with a field of view of 110°
Sony has directly introduced two different editions for PSVR2 for the release on February 22, 2023:
The “bare” hardware for 599.99 euros
PSVR2 bundled with the exclusive title “Horizon Call of the Mountain” for 649.99 euros
Here you can watch the announcement trailer for PSVR2:

Seht euch PSVR 2 für PS5 im Trailer an – „Das wird der VR-Szene einen großen Schub geben!“
What is the controversy surrounding the price? The price for the predecessor model for the PS4 was 399.99 euros. Later, Sony further reduced it to 299.99 euros. This means that the price of PSVR2 has doubled compared to its predecessor.
While the new hardware is powerful, many rightly question whether they are willing to spend even more money on it than on the console itself.
Will you buy PSVR2 or not? Further down, you will find a survey tool where you can vote on whether you will buy the new hardware for your PS5 or not.
