A player warns against using the text chat of Battlefield 6 after being banned for responding to a question.
What was that trap? A player reports on Reddit that he was banned for 7 days in Battlefield 6 and is not allowed to play after responding to a question from another player in the shooter’s chat.
The user warns against using the text chat of Battlefield 6, writing: “I was set up and am now banned for 168 hours. Someone in the chat asked about the event in China with the guy in front of the tank, I responded with ‘Tiananmen Square’ and I was punished.”
168 hours equals 7 days. The player is therefore apparently banned from playing Battlefield 6 for a week.

Why does this lead to a ban? The user attached a screenshot to his post on Reddit that reveals EA’s rationale for the ban. It states: “Inappropriate reference – Violence and tragic events.”.
The described incident refers to the so-called Tiananmen Massacre on June 4, 1989, in China. The Chinese government suppressed a student demonstration at Tiananmen Square in Beijing using military force. As the Federal Agency for Civic Education states, the human rights organization “Amnesty International” estimates that up to 3,000 people were victims, while the Chinese government claims about 300 dead (via bpb.de).
A detailed explanation of why the simple mention of the square without mentioning the event constitutes an “inappropriate reference” is not shown in the user’s screenshot.
This is what the community says about it: One of the top comments (measured by upvotes) suggests that the player file a complaint about the ban with EA. The player did this, but the ban was upheld.
Another player advises to disable the chat or at least not to write names or anything that might be remotely controversial. According to his observation, there are currently quite quick temporary bans.
In ARC Raiders, the NPC “Lance” sends you on the quest “Medical Merchandise” to complete it. However, some Raiders have difficulty with it. To help you complete the quest stress-free, we will show you the solution.
Where do I get the quest? As you progress further in ARC Raiders and diligently complete quests, you will eventually receive the quest “Medical Merchandise” from Lance in the clinic, also called Medical Merchandise.
This quest aims to expand your horizon regarding the procurement of medical supplies on the surface.

Trailer for the community event “Breaking New Ground” in ARC Raiders
How to solve “Medical Merchandise”
Lance wants you to explore some areas and loot containers. These areas are medical facilities or rooms. You need to explore the following locations:
Search 2 containers in the examination room of the departure building in the spaceport
Search 3 containers in the hospital in the Buried City
Search 2 containers in the medical room of the research and administration building on the Dam Battlefields
We will go through all the locations one by one and show you where they are and what exactly you need to search.
Dam Battlefields
The first location on your list is the medical room of the research and administration building on the Dam Battlefields. You will find the building approximately in the middle of the map – it is colored red. Once you arrive and are in the reception area, you should look for an open elevator to get to the first floor using the steel ropes.
Once there, just keep southwest. You will recognize the right room when you see a first aid symbol next to a door.
Here you need to goThis is the right door
Open the door and search the drawer of the desk. With some luck, you will also find a bag in one of the examination areas in the room. Containers include any form of lootable containers such as cabinets, drawers, bags, and boxes.
This is what a container looks like
Once you complete this 2x, you are done with the Dam Battlefields and can move on to the next location.
As a side note: Your quest progress remains, even if you die while looting in your current round.
Buried City
For the Buried City, you only need to visit the hospital. This is located more toward the upper part of the map and is also marked in red. You won’t have to search long in the hospital to find a container, as this place is filled with lootable containers.
Here you will find the hospital
However, be careful when visiting this place. Many Raiders hide at the entrance of the extraction point or inside the hospital to surprise unsuspecting players and then eliminate them.
Spaceport
To find the examination room in the spaceport, you need to visit the departure building. Once there, take the stairs to the first floor. Now keep heading northwest and look for a destroyed lab with a large balcony.
Here you need to goThe examination room is located in this area
In the spaceport, you have to worry less about the Raiders and more about the ARCs. The departure building is infested with numerous robots, not just the popular pops but also turrets. So sneak through the building and try to avoid making noise, otherwise, you will be torn apart by the explosions.
Those were all the locations you should know for the quest. ARC Raiders is a complex game, especially when it comes to knowing which items to take with you or which ones to dismantle. It’s best to use the Recycle Cheat Sheet, which also currently shows which items you should keep: ARC Raiders: Recycle Cheat Sheet – This way you know what to keep in your inventory

For many players, it is particularly frustrating when bad weather occurs during special events in Pokémon GO. However, a group of players did not let this stop them.
Why are players frustrated about bad weather? Most content in Pokémon GO can only be completed when trainers go outside to play. Depending on the weather, this can be more or less challenging.
It becomes particularly frustrating when there is an event with special Pokémon that only lasts for a short time during bad weather. Trainers can miss out on exclusive Pokémon if they do not participate in the event.
Finding and catching Pokémon is more enjoyable in nice weather. However, a group of 4 players has proven that they can still play despite the rainy weather.

Players use pavilion as an umbrella
What solution do the players come up with? A user posts on Reddit how 4 players squeeze under a pavilion roof. Each trainer is positioned at a corner of the pavilion, with the roof protecting all players from the rain. They are focused on their phones, presumably hunting for new Pokémon.
Another user, on the other hand, thinks it is crazy not to use an umbrella for protection against the rain. However, more fans can understand that they simply did not have an umbrella on hand.
The problem with the weather is well known to many players, as playing with drops on the screen is difficult. Coincidentally, during the last event of the Nature Zone, the eponymous nature disrupted. You can check out the problem of MeinMMO author Max in his article: Coincidentally, nature disrupts the Nature Zone 2025 in Pokémon GO
The creator of the post states that events on rainy days do not prevent trainers from playing Pokémon GO. They still go outside to hunt for shinies.

In Black Desert Online, the developers have fixed a faulty event and taken the items back from the players. This leads to high debts.
What is this event about? The “Pearls Blessing” event recently took place in Black Desert Online. Here, players can spend pearls to receive corresponding rewards such as outfits. This gives players additional rewards for their spending in the Black Desert Online shop.
However, there was a bug during the event. When the event started, players were not reset to 0. Instead, all players retained the status from the previous event, which caused many to reach the items further along the event path more quickly.
But the solution to the problem caused considerable frustration among the players.
Here you can see some nice moments from Black Desert Online:
Start video

Everything back to zero
How was the bug fixed? The developers only noticed the bug after the event had started. Instead of rewarding the players for their progress and learning from the mistake for the next time, they decided to reset the progress during the ongoing event and only count the newly spent pearls.
Those who had already received items that they shouldn’t have gotten had them taken back by the developers. If they had already been sold, the transaction was reversed as well. This resulted in players losing a lot of silver and some being left in the negative.
The negative amounts occur because the silver gained from the sale was deducted, even if it had already been used for example to upgrade equipment.
This is also the case for a Reddit user, who shows that after the rollback, he stands at -27 billion silver in the auction house. He also shows the notification as proof along with the evidence of how much silver was taken from him. This causes a lot of frustration among the players.

What do the players say about this? Some players claim innocence and presumably thought this was not a bug but rather a deliberate incentive from the developers. Others are simply upset that the problem was resolved this way, forcing players to deal with their negative silver. As players write on Reddit:
Dumbusta: “Lmao wtf? So they just decided to saddle you with 27 billion debt?”
mynameisnemix: “I would initiate a rollback, to be honest.”
MainSmile: “I would just quit, lol.”
Thread creator ArgosVII: “I didn’t know those were unintended rewards. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have used them. Nothing indicated there was a bug. You only found out it was an issue after they finished the event and posted the notice.”
Even though the developers made the technically correct decision, the more popular option would likely have been to leave the event as it was and allow players to keep the additional items. Now they have upset paying players, which should be the opposite of the event’s purchase incentive.
Everyone pursues their own goals in League of Legends. For many players, the ultimate LoL dream is to reach the highest rank of Challenger. The German Twitch streamer NoWay has achieved this 11 times already and almost broke down in tears during the last server.
Why has NoWay reached Challenger 11 times? One of NoWay’s major LoL goals is to conquer the highest rank of League of Legends in every region. In 2025 alone, he accomplished this in several regions like Taiwan, which was the ninth server, or the tenth time Challenger in Turkey.
Now on November 19, as seen on his website lol.noway.gg, he won his promotion match to Challenger and is officially at the highest rank of League of Legends in eleven regions.

How did he react to the last game to Challenger? In a video on YouTube, NoWay shared his last and most emotional moment during his journey on the Chinese server. After an intense battle at minute 31 of the LoL match, he managed to win the game.
Just before the Nexus, the last structure, fell, NoWay exclaimed an emotional “I am free!” and held his hands in front of his face. For the next 40 seconds, he was speechless and celebrated by his excited friend.
What does a former teammate of NoWay say about the success? His colleague Karni from his time with the German LoL team NNO also commented on the success. On x.com, Sheep Esports shared the news of NoWay as Challenger in China, and Karni wrote in typical German style: “These League of Legends servers are now the property of the Federal Republic of Germany”
NoWay was even banned a second time: During his second attempt to reach the highest rank in China, NoWay was also banned. The reason given was that he played too passively. The ban duration was 7 days.
The viewer Name-om3wq provided an update on the ban in a comment under the associated video. He wrote after about a day that NoWay was unbanned and that it was due to a disconnect during one of his rounds.
ARC Raiders is especially known for its player interactions, which don’t always go peacefully. A fan accidentally found an older Raider and has now shared his heartwarming interaction with him on Reddit.

What is the story of this old timer? The 72-year-old player shares a bit about himself. He is from Scotland and has been a passionate gamer since 1980 – of course, he wouldn’t miss the chance to dive into ARC Raiders.
Unfortunately, the older gentleman suffers from dementia, but he can keep his brain active with his games. When it comes to ARC Raiders, the player still enjoys himself, even though the robots give him trouble. Bukaja helped the man with numerous answers to questions about quests and loot and even gave him his collected materials just before the extraction point.
He would have liked to give him more, but unfortunately, he didn’t have enough with him. Many, however, appreciate what they see and celebrate the interaction between the two players.
What do players say about the video? They celebrate the older gentleman and share their experiences with seniors in gaming. 3xPuttRubbleBoagie reports about his 65-year-old father and explains that younger generations will likely see older players in their favorite games more often soon.
CitizenLohaRune shares about himself. At 54 years old, he is still into gaming, even in ARC Raiders – he comes from the era of the Atari2600. His father, 82 years old, is also a gamer, but ARC Raiders is not for him – he prefers to hang out in Doom and Quake.
Nightmareszi loves this situation. It shows that gaming is made for every age group and provides a great escape to have fun.

Where Winds Meet still captivates many players with its world and story, completely for free. However, for development to continue, the game needs to generate revenue. An expensive skin could help with that.
How is Where Winds Meet funded? Although Where Winds Meet is a large game with dozens of features, it can be downloaded completely for free. MyMMO expert Karsten Scholz even mentioned in his preview report that it’s too good to be free.
However, the developers from China still need to make money with Where Winds Meet to guarantee future development. There are several ways in the game to spend money. First, there’s the battle pass, where one can purchase a premium variant with better features monthly. Additionally, there are some skins available in the shop.
The most expensive item available in Where Winds Meet is the “Mirage Boat,” and it is quite something.
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
A yacht, please!
What can the boat do? The Mirage Boat is a real boat, allowing the owner to sail from the harbor along a predetermined route through Where Winds Meet. The owner can invite friends and other travelers onto the boat, and it also serves as a kind of social hangout.
For building the boat, there is a special reward which is also the most expensive skin in the game, “Celestial Mortal.” This skin grants the character a majestic outfit with many details and effects. Here you can see it:
“Celestial Mortal” skin from Where Winds Meet on a female character.
How much does the yacht cost? Anyone wanting to own such a yacht must spend a lot of money. The boat can only be exchanged for 170 pieces of “Mirage-Ripped Leaf.” These can only be exchanged for “Harmonious Core,” which is primarily obtained through draws in the game’s gacha skin shop.
In short: One must frequently participate in Where Winds Meet’s gacha to obtain the skin.
The chances of obtaining the right items are not officially known. However, in China, players have estimated the cost for the boat to be around 300,000 RMB, which amounts to approximately 36,500 € (via Gamersky.com).
However, the system is somewhat different in the West. We need 170 instead of 120 leaves for unlocking, though we are missing another item that can also be purchased. It is also unclear whether the chances here are the same as those in China.
Do you have to pay for it alone? No, friends and strangers who are not interested in owning a boat themselves can donate their leaves, which they obtained as a byproduct from the gacha, to a boat under construction and receive rewards in return. Therefore, the owner does not have to build the boat completely alone.
Where Winds Meet is free to play, and there is no need to spend money on the RPG. However, for those who wish to, there is a large selection of skins, mounts, and other cosmetic items available in the game that can make your character shine in a new light, although this can get expensive.

Then the developers also promised to expand the endgame of Borderlands 4, announcing the return of the takedowns. These were introduced with the predecessor Borderlands 3 and are considered the most challenging content of the series.
The new takedown is set to be released in 2026 for free for all players, featuring new boss enemies as well as a new area.
Start video
Der Trailer zum Bounty Pack 1, dem ersten Story-DLC für Borderlands 4
Particularly Tough Challenge for Endgame Vault Hunters
How do takedowns work? Takedowns are divided into 2 parts. First, you fight through enemy territories and hordes of foes until you reach the first boss fight. Once you defeat it, the second part of the mission begins.
Again, you fight your way through massive amounts of adversaries until you finally face the big final boss of the respective takedown. Here, a particularly tough battle awaits you.
The special difficulty lies in the fact that in a takedown you have no respawns. If you perish in battle, you must start all over again – even if you failed at the final boss.
In what way is this the best endgame content? Takedowns are characterized by a very high difficulty, which is why you need to optimize your gear. This provides new motivation for grinding and ignites ambition. Additionally, successful vault hunters are rewarded with good loot.
Unlike the raids in the big competitor “Destiny 2,” takedowns from Borderlands 4 can also be completed solo, even though they are designed for 4-player co-op. This makes the missions a challenging yet accessible endeavor.
After a new patch of the Beta of World of Warcraft Midnight, criticism must be withdrawn. One class is really great again.
Anyone who has read my articles about World of Warcraft in the past years knows that I have basically been playing a Shadow Priest “forever”. This has not changed significantly over nearly 20 years.
I always get a little nervous when Blizzard sets out to revamp my favorite class. Because in the past, it has been a regular up and down. There was the absolute peak of somewhat “perfect” gameplay during Legion with the Artifact weapon. After that, there was a constant up and down, where my opinion fluctuated somewhere between “Blizzard doesn’t want me to play Shadow Priest anymore” and “I AM THE VOID GODDESS, ROAR”.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
The first version was bad, the new version is good
With the Alpha of Midnight came the next rework and my first assessment was devastatingly negative. Popular spells disappear, entire playstyles are no longer possible, and the essence of what makes a Shadow Priest enjoyable and playable has been dissolved.
A few days ago, the latest Beta patch was released and brought significant revisions once again. The main points are:
DoTs can now be extended through gameplay, namely through the Shadowy apparitions, which extend DoTs by 1.5 seconds with the right talent choice.
Shadow Word: Pain is no longer removed from the spell book by “Misery” and can still be used.
The Mindbender is no longer an active ability but is summoned automatically during Void Eruption.
Additionally, “Misery” does not have to be taken anymore. Players can return to the old feeling of “I have to manage my DoTs individually” and are rewarded with a drastically stronger “Shadow Word: Pain” for doing so.
In Midnight, the Shadow Priest feels complete again.
The changes have led to a moment where the Shadow Priest somehow has clicked – the puzzle pieces fit together, and we have a specialization that feels complete and right again. The gameplay flow is pleasant, and the different abilities all feel like they have weight and a reason to exist. This is a feeling that was completely missing in the first version of the Midnight Priest.
It is obvious that Blizzard has listened to the harsh criticism from the community and has implemented the feedback quickly and clearly.
Sure, there are still a few points of criticism that I do not fully agree with. The fact that the Shadow Priest will have drastically less life steal and self-healing effects still feels strange for a rather fragile class. I would wish for the healing in “Shadow Word: Madness” to be reintegrated or that the Shadow Priest suffers slightly less damage so that one does not have to take a short break after 2-3 enemies while questing – as that simply feels outdated.
Overall, however, I must say that Blizzard has managed to “save” the Shadow Priest through some major and minor changes and to put it into a state that plays fluidly and feels complete. After one of the first Alpha builds was a clear step backward compared to the live version, we now have a variant where I can clearly say: Yes, I can at least see where Blizzard is headed and trust that they will succeed. Blizzard is currently also quite open in admitting mistakes: The WoW boss mentioned that they should have reacted 8 years ago.

If you turn into a Scream Queen in horror games, you might want to steer clear of this: A new co-op game on Steam aims to punish you for every scream and tries everything to elicit one from you.
Which game is being talked about? Don’t Scream Together by developer Digital Cybercherries has nothing to do with the very similarly named Don’t Starve Together, but it does share two similarities with the game:
Both games are co-op spinoffs of a previously released single-player game
Both times, a simple “Together” (meaning “together”) has been added to the name to symbolize the co-op aspect
Here you see a short teaser showing what you can expect:
Start video
Don’t Scream Together: Neues Koop-Horrorspiel auf Steam bestraft euch, wenn ihr schreit
One scream and it’s over
What is the game about? In Don’t Scream Together, you and your friends wander through a pitch-black forest at night. Your goal is quite simple: You need to survive until 8 AM and escape the forest. Time only passes when you move.
The whole affair becomes more difficult because you should remain as quiet as possible during your walk in the woods. The game is designed to get you to scream. The developers themselves describe Don’t Scream Together as an “Online Co-op Jumpscare Horror Simulator,” so you can expect many jumpscares.
A single scream can reset the game for everyone or at least make it harder for the remaining players. This depends on the chosen game mode, of which there are two according to the Steam page for the game:
Scream & Restart: If someone screams, the entire team has to start over.
Scream & Return as a Hunter: The game continues, but the screamer returns as a hunter who can also scare others.
Do I need a microphone to play the game? Yes, to play Don’t Scream Together you must have an active microphone. Otherwise, the game cannot react to your screams (and that would be cheating). In the game, you communicate via a proximity chat: Other players can only hear you as long as they are near you.
When will the game be released? Don’t Scream Together will be released on December 3, 2025 on Steam.
In Dragon Ball, the orange suit belongs to Son Goku like the stars to the Dragon Balls. The creator of the manga, Akira Toriyama, once asked the fans to design a new suit for the Saiyan.
What kind of request was that? In chapter 163 of the manga, Toriyama surprised the readers with an unusual request: Before the story even started, he asked the fans on the title page to come up with a new outfit for Goku.
The reason: Son Goku had just defeated King Piccolo and would receive his growth spurt in the upcoming chapters. At 12 years old, Goku was still a child and had the same height as a five-year-old child. At 18, he suddenly was as tall as an adult man. The anime Dragon Ball Daima explained this phenomenon in more detail.
It’s clear that Goku no longer fits into his old suit. Therefore, Toriyama wanted to know how the fans imagined the Saiyan in a new outfit.

Unlike his final outfit, the fan design features a white belt and white socks.
The symbol of Master Roshi’s school is also a hexagon and not a circle.
Additionally, the neckline is larger than in his actual suit, with a black tank top peeking out underneath that has no sleeves.
The orange suit also has darker areas that are ultimately missing in the Saiyan’s solid-colored suit.
Throughout Dragon Ball, Son Goku has naturally worn other outfits besides his fighting suit. However, the fan design only made it onto a cover of the manga, never into the story itself.
AI is not only a relevant topic in the job market; toy manufacturers are also jumping on the trend. However, AI toys are anything but safe. One manufacturer had to pull their teddy bear from the market.
AI is now used in many areas of life. Certainly, not only adults are an important target group. There are now toy manufacturers that focus on AI toys. This includes not only classic robots but also teddy bears.
However, researchers have found that these toys are anything but safe for children. One manufacturer has now removed their AI teddy bear from the market.

AI teddy bears could teach children dangerous things
What is the problem? The company FoloToy released the Kumma bear, which stood out negatively in a study (Source: Futurism). It looks like a regular teddy bear, except it has an AI chatbot implemented. It is based on Chat GPT-4o from OpenAI. In the study, the bear gave several dangerous tips:
The bear explained where to find matches and how to light them.
Additionally, the teddy bear could give tips on where to find knives or pills.
One of the testers was even recommended dating apps (because he asked about matches, which can also mean “strikes”). It seems to have gone as far as discussing kinks, and the chatbot also talked about sexual practices and fetishes in tests.
Many of the testers mentioned that these hints from the teddy bear were delivered in a child-friendly tone. According to CNN, FoloToy describes the Kumma bear as follows:
From lively conversations to educational stories – FoloToy adapts to your personality and needs, bringing warmth, fun, and a little extra curiosity to your daily life.
What happened after the findings? The teddy bear from FoloToy, which was sold for 99 USD (around 85 €), has now been removed from the market. The CEO of FoloToy, Larry Wang, told CNN that an internal safety review is being conducted. Other AI-based toys from the company are also said to have been pulled from the market for now.
What is the problem with the AI models? The co-author of the study, RJ Cross, explained to Futurism that this type of technology is new and unregulated. There are new risks that we cannot even imagine right now. He says: If I were a parent now, I would not grant my children access to a chatbot or a teddy bear with an integrated chatbot.
The online trade has also made it quite simple to buy unverified toys. Additionally, AI chatbots are unpredictable. However, it should also be noted that the Kumma bear from FoloToy had the most extreme results of the AI toys tested. AI can also be a threat in other areas: The head of ChatGPT says: AI will destroy jobs that are not “real work”

About a week ago, there were strange activities on the Instagram channel of the ZDF show Bares für Rares. Now the mystery surrounding it has been solved and announced who the show will go live with on Twitch next week.
Who is Bares für Rares going live with on Twitch? After an alleged “hacker attack” on the Instagram channel of Bares für Rares, the community speculated on who might be behind it. It was finally “revealed” that it was supposed to be an intern who allegedly demanded a joint Twitch stream with a “famous Twitch streamer” in return.
Meanwhile, a new TikTok video from Bares für Rares has clarified who will make their debut on Twitch with the ZDF show: Peter Smit from PietSmiet. The debut livestream is scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2025, at 6:30 PM on the ZDF Twitch channel (twitch.tv/zdf). It will be streamed from the original studio of Bares für Rares.
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
“Before GTA VI!?”
How does the community react? Although Bares für Rares is broadcast on linear television on the ZDF channel and addresses a different audience than online, the format has also made its way into the minds of younger viewers on social media. Especially through memes that are compiled and uploaded on TikTok and other platforms. For example, the “What will be” meme.
With the collaboration and livestream on Twitch, Bares für Rares seems to have hit the nail on the head. In the comments under the announcement TikTok, the community seems to be very positive:
The Greeny_FV_TF can hardly believe it: “PIETSMIET X BARES FÜR RARES BEFORE GTA VI?!”
Max is also a bit perplexed by the composition: “Peter X Horst was not on my list for 2025”

This section covers the basic facts, hardware details, and the possible components of the Steam Machine.
What is the Steam Machine anyway? The Steam Machine is an initiative by Valve to bring the PC market into the living room. The first attempt failed in 2018, four years after its market launch, with the first Steam Machine. Now the Steam Machine is making a comeback. Valve promises PC gaming in a compact form.
How much does the Steam Machine cost? Nothing is known about the price at this time (November 20, 2025). The Steam Machine probably won’t be as cheap as a console, reports a well-known YouTuber. Players and experts estimate that the price could be between 500 and 1,000 Euros.
What accessories are included? This is still unknown. A power cable will definitely be included.
Is a controller included? You can buy the Steam Machine either with or without the new Steam controller. The price will likely be a bit higher with the controller.
Is the Steam Machine upgradable? No, or only to a limited extent. The Steam Machine relies on a proprietary motherboard with a soldered CPU and GPU. Therefore, you cannot easily change the base. The general performance cannot be changed either.
Other components, such as SSD storage and RAM, should be easily upgradable. According to experts, the Steam Machine uses standard DDR5 laptop memory modules that you can buy on the market.
Will there be different models/versions? Basically, all Steam Machines contain the same hardware.
However, there will be models with different storage capacities: one model with 512 GB and one with 2 TB of storage.
Does the Steam Machine compete with my PS4 or is it quiet? Valve states on its own product page: “The Steam Machine remains cool and quiet even while playing the most demanding titles.” According to Valve, you shouldn’t expect a jet engine level noise like on the PS4.

Operating System and Compatibility
This section discusses the software base, the installed operating system, and the possibilities of use beyond Steam.
Can I also install Windows? Yes, you can! Valve has explicitly stated that you can also install Windows on your Steam Machine. However, the Steam Machine is optimized for SteamOS, so performance may be lower on Windows.
Can I use Epic, GOG, Battle.net on the Steam Machine? Yes, that is basically possible, but it involves some effort. If SteamOS is set up as it is on the Steam Deck, then you can install other launchers on the Steam Machine. Or access them using Lutris.
Can I use Game Pass? The same applies to Game Pass and streaming services as to the launchers: it is generally not a problem, but it involves effort. Using Game Pass on the Steam Deck was quite cumbersome because there is no official application.
Can I use the Steam Machine as a real PC? Yes, that is possible without any issues. The Steam Machine has a freely accessible desktop interface, just like the Steam Deck, where you can use a browser, use word processing software (LibreOffice), edit pictures (Gimp), or watch YouTube. Streaming on Twitch should also generally be possible.
However, if you want to install specific Windows software, you should expect to put in a bit more effort, for example, products from Adobe. If you want to install software directly from the Linux package management (think of it like a software store), it is very easy.
Can I use a mouse, keyboard, and other controllers? Yes, that works smoothly. SteamOS supports nearly all modern input devices, even mice and keyboards that are a few years older. Only specific software such as iCue (Corsair) or Synapse (Razer) may cause problems. The hardware itself should work perfectly.
This section focuses on the game selection, controls, and additional gaming features.
Is the Steam Machine a PC or a console? Valve intentionally sells the Steam Machine as a gaming PC and not as a console. And theoretically, you can do whatever you want with the Steam Machine, even install Windows. However, with a real console, like the PS5, that is not possible. The Steam Machine is also equipped with standard PC hardware that Valve has modified for its purposes.
However, the user interface and accessibility provide more of a console player experience.
Can I play all games? No. Many games can be played without issues through the Steam Machine and SteamOS, but some titles may have problems:
If games rely on a third-party application, such as Anno 117 with Ubisoft Connect, there may be difficulties.
Some anti-cheat systems are not fully supported by Linux, which can also lead to problems.
Especially games that you do not install directly via Steam or rely on very old copy protection measures (such as Securom) often do not run on Linux.
As a general rule, the tip is: Pay attention to whether games are verified for the Steam Deck (via Steamdeck.com). They should generally also run on the Steam Machine. In the future, there will be a separate category for the Steam Machine.
Can I enjoy the latest games in 4K and highest quality? That is rather unlikely. The performance of the Steam Machine is said to be closer to that of the PS5. You can play the latest games without issues, but you will have to live with limitations. Valve has also emphasized that 60 FPS in 4K is only possible with AMD’s FSR. The manufacturer stated in the official trailer:
Experience gaming at desktop level with FSR-supported 4K gaming at 60 FPS thanks to a modified AMD processor and a dedicated graphics card.
Without upscaling, performance will likely fall even lower. It is also disappointing that the Steam Machine still relies on RDNA3, which is AMD’s last generation of graphics cards. The best version, FSR 4, can therefore only be used by the Steam Machine in theory.
How user-friendly is the Steam Machine? The Steam Machine and SteamOS use the so-called “Big Picture” mode. This is a very user-friendly interface designed for controllers. Installing, uninstalling games, or browsing the store is very easy here.
If you want to actively use the Steam Machine as a PC alongside Steam, you will need some adjustment time for the desktop environment “KDE Plasma”. Because the interface looks different from Windows.
Can I install mods for my games? In principle, SteamOS and the Steam Machine support the official “Steam Workshop” of your games. This means that the most popular Skyrim mods can also be installed on your Steam Machine.
If you want to install external mods, such as from ModDB or Nexusmods, that is also possible, but it involves effort.
Can I install software like Discord? Yes, that should be possible without issues. You can install Discord directly through the desktop mode on the Steam Deck, for example. You can read how to install Discord on the Steam Deck on MeinMMO. On the Steam Machine, which uses the same operating system (SteamOS), it shouldn’t be much different.
Can I replace my gaming PC now? No, the Steam Machine is not a full-fledged replacement for a gaming PC. You need to make that clear to yourself. The hardware installed is not up to date and can only be partially replaced. While you are buying a compact and modern system, you will get less performance than if you bought a real gaming PC with RX 9070 XT or RTX 5070. However, Valve recently stated in an interview that the Steam Machine is faster than most gaming PCs.
Anyone looking to get more out of their gaming PC might consider buying a new graphics card. But does it even matter at the end whether I choose AMD or Nvidia? MeinMMO presents the similarities and differences between AMD and Nvidia and explains what you should consider before your next graphics card purchase: How important is it whether I buy AMD or Nvidia for a graphics card?

After the Worlds 2025 of League of Legends, some players are leaving their teams and looking for a new home. Gumayusi, the former ADC of Faker, recently left the most successful team in LoL, T1, and continues to be bullied online. Now even a politician has gotten involved.
Who is bullying Gumayusi? In a Reddit post, the text of a Korean politician was translated and published. This politician shared his thoughts on the topic of cyberbullying in a post on his social media channels, primarily criticizing the “fan group” of T1 called “T1 Support Gallery” or simply “T1 gal.” The creator of the Reddit post shared a brief overview of what T1 gal actually is.
What is T1 gal? According to williamson41 on Reddit, T1 gal is a forum, similar to the subreddit dedicated to T1 or the T1 board on 4chan. T1 gal describes itself as a group of fans, but they have been harassing Gumayusi for the past two years.
Aside from threats to kill him, there were also plans to harm him in real life by injuring him with acid or pushing him off a motorcycle so he can no longer play.
An X user already collected many actions of T1 gal back in August. Among other things, trucks were sent to the T1 building to discredit ADC Gumayusi with false statistics.

What does the politician say about cyberbullying? Jeon Yong-gi published a statement on November 20, 2025, titled: “End the cyberbullying against Lee Min-hyung (Gumayusi) immediately.” (via naver.com)
In this post, he addressed the group directly by name and commented on the personal attacks hidden behind the guise of advice and criticism. Jeon Yong-gi further states: “Team support can never be a justification for attacking a particular player, and the argument that one wants to encourage him during a temporary performance drop can be no excuse for malicious criticism.”
The fact that Gumayusi continues to be attacked, even though he has already left T1, is noted by the politician in his post and he doubts that there is genuine fandom behind it. He describes the activities of the community as “cyberbullying for entertainment.”
The politician wants to take measures against cyberbullying
What measures does Jeon Yong-gi propose? The politician proposed three levels of protective measures for players:
Esports organizations like KeSPA (Korea Esports Association), Riot Games Korea, and the individual clubs should no longer just be bystanders but take responsibility. He particularly emphasized the urgency of protective measures for young players.
From platform providers, like DC Insider, represented in T1 gal, he demands that they take action against those responsible for malicious posts.
The government should tighten criminal sanctions for defamation and insult.
Jeon Yong-gi wants to use the case of Gumayusi and T1 gal as an opportunity to advance legislative measures.
Jeon Yong-gi has been fighting against cyberbullying since 2020: Since the Korean politician took office in 2020, he has been combating cyberbullying. He initiated the initiative to abolish comments under sports news and recently submitted a bill to prevent cyberbullying.
After it became known that Gumayusi would leave T1, there were already initial rumors about the new ADC beside Faker. On November 19, 2025, it was officially confirmed that it is indeed the 19-year-old Peyz, who has already been able to break two of Faker’s records: New ADC of T1 in LoL is only 19 years old and has even broken Faker’s records

Doctor Doom
Defeated Thanos in Secret Wars No. 8 (2015)
In the 2015 event Secret Wars, Doctor Doom became God Emperor Doom in the comics thanks to the power of the Beyonders. When the multiverse was nearly destroyed, Doom created the Battleworld, a new universe. In doing so, he acquired god-like powers and could manipulate the memories of all inhabitants.
When Thanos lands on Battleworld, he tries to find out what is going on with his soldiers. He learns about Doom and tries to take him out in his base. With his god-like powers, Doom easily takes out half of Thanos’ companions.
Doom offers him a pact, but Thanos refuses. He calls Doom a weak god and a fraud. He should kneel before him. Doom asks him if he has the Infinity Gauntlet. Thanos denies it but explains that his power is enough for him. Well, Doom takes Thanos’ entire spine out and finishes off the Titan with a single grip.

Contrary to what was assumed, fans of World of Warcraft will not have to spend several million gold on Transmog. Blizzard corrects a mistake properly.
For many Transmog fans in World of Warcraft, it was quite disillusioning when they could try out the new and supposedly much better Transmog system in the beta. Because anyone who calculated quickly made it clear: The new system is extremely expensive and those who want to equip several characters will probably have to pay huge amounts of gold.
But Blizzard has heard the criticism and clarified just a day later: This is not finished yet, and one thing is going to change fundamentally.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What was the problem? After the first version of the new Transmog system went live in the beta, disillusionment quickly set in. Because the new system costs quite a bit of money and gets more expensive the more characters you play. One had to pay up to 800,000 gold for 20 Transmog slots – that is, free slots that can be filled with sets. On top of that come the drastically increased Transmog costs of around 6,000 gold for a complete endgame set. The disappointment was great, and the criticism was clearly heard everywhere.
What is going to change? Blizzard responded to the criticism in the official WoW forum. There, community manager Kaivax wrote in response to the demand that unlocking the Transmog slots should apply to the whole warband:
This will be the case in Midnight. It will just take a few more weeks to implement this feature in the beta.
In a future build of the Midnight beta, unlocking the outfit slots will apply to the whole warband. And the costs to unlock these slots will not increase.
In other words: Instead of having to pay 800,000 gold for the 20 slots on each character, this will now only need to happen once. Depending on how many characters you play – and how many
What other criticisms are there? One criticism still stands, and that is the increased Transmog costs. If you want to fully customize your entire gear – including weapons – you pay nearly 6,000 gold at max level. That is more than 5x what it currently costs in The War Within.
This is partly offset by the fact that in Midnight, saved “sets” only need to be paid for once – after that, they are automatically applied to all items you wear or find.
This poses a problem for all those who like to adjust parts of their Transmog and often make small changes. Because they are charged just as often as before – only now at significantly increased prices. This adversely affects the player group that has so far used the Transmog system the most. Therefore, there is a strong desire in the community to reconsider these costs and reduce them to a lower level. If you want to take a look at the Transmog system yourself, check out the beta of Midnight – you can easily join in.
