Anyone who became a Twitch streamer partner had to hold back when live streaming on other platforms. Now, Twitch is loosening exclusivity – but not equally across all platforms.
This is new now: Twitch explains in an official FAQ that partners no longer have to offer their live streams exclusively on Twitch but can also live stream on other platforms.
This change is intended to allow partners to further grow their community independently of the platform. This change is to apply to a “majority of Twitch partners.” Streamers who have received a note regarding additional agreements are exempted – so there are at least some partners who remain exclusively tied to Twitch.
However, there is a catch: The new system allows for streams on other platforms, but not simultaneously with a Twitch stream. “As soon as you finish your live stream on Twitch, you can immediately continue streaming elsewhere,” it says.
“Simulcasting”, meaning simultaneous streaming on various platforms, remains largely prohibited. However, there are exceptions here as well.
Instagram and TikTok have different rules than Facebook and YouTube
Here are the differences: Twitch rules out that streams can happen simultaneously on “web-based, Twitch-like services” that support a longer period.
On YouTube and Facebook, streamers cannot be live simultaneously when they are also running on Twitch: “Because we believe that the simultaneous use of two streams can lead to a suboptimal experience for your community,” Twitch says about this (via Twitch / FAQ).
This means streams have to be finished before going live on one of the two platforms.
It looks different in short formats: “However, we know that many creators want to use other services to grow their communities,” Twitch says: “Therefore, simulcasting in short formats on mobile services like TikTok or Instagram Live is allowed.”
This is what the community says: In the subreddit “LivestreamFail,” the partial end of Twitch exclusivity is currently being discussed. Many see it as a step in the right direction, but the change also raises further questions.
“The exclusivity clause has been weakened, but not completely lifted. I would prefer multistreams, as I then don’t have to keep track of streamers on multiple platforms,” says one user (via reddit).
User alaminatti (via reddit) is meanwhile expecting that streamer xQc might now stream on TikTok any moment.
“Interesting, I wonder if we will see more streamers testing the waters on YouTube, like 1 day a week or something,” predicts user “yotsuna” (via reddit).
“The new generation of streamers will multistream on TikTok and IG and explode,” believes user “SaltyFlowerChild” (via reddit).
Additionally, some are wondering how the adjustment of exclusivity will affect the money spent in streaming. In the past, large sums were occasionally spent by platforms like YouTube and Twitch to secure exclusive streaming rights for certain individuals.
However, there is no official information on this. So it remains to be seen how the change will affect the streaming landscape in the near future. We will keep you updated at MeinMMO!

On the weekend, the best professionals played against each other in League of Legends: It is approaching the end of the season, and important playoff games are being held in all regions. At the beginning of 2022, the crocodile monster Renekton was still a strong pick in the top lane. But on August 20, the crocodile had a really bad day. This could cost him his job in the coming weeks.
Because the champ could do everything: He could stun, gank, tank, and dive the tower.
He was considered a really good “blind pick” at the beginning of 2022, one that could be chosen first and built around by teams.

A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is
Balance update hits tanks that deal a lot of damage hard
What has changed? In League of Legends, nothing stays the same for long. Since January, there have been major patches, and Riot has continually adjusted the balance of the MOBA.
Because “tanks that can deal a lot of damage,” called “bruisers,” have been a declared thorn in Riot’s side: They didn’t want that anymore:
Champions should either deal a lot of damage like assassins (Akali, Shaco, Kassadin)
or be able to take a lot of damage, like tanks (Dr. Mundo, Trundle, Aatrox)
On August 20, Renekton lost some important games single-handedly
This is now the problem with Renekton: The problem with Renekton was bitterly learned by some professionals on August 20. Because when the crocodile falls behind his opponent in the top lane, the games can really turn against him.
The site Dexerto provides 3 examples of how badly Renekton was beaten in his top lane on August 20:
In Brazil, Parang lost his lane with Renekton 0-14. The 26-year-old South Korean refused to play the champion more defensively even when everything was against him.
In the USA, Flyquest played the champ Renekton after top laner Philip gained confidence in match 1. But with Renekton, he ended up with a 0-7-0 game and Team Liquid rolled over FlyQuest in the next 3 games.
In Korea, Sandbox faced Gen G. with Renekton and even prioritized the crocodile. In 3 games, Dove picked the champion. Games 2 and 4 became his personal Waterloo. He went down with the crocodile: In game 2 with 0-9-0, in game 4 with 0-4-1.
At the moment, LS is streaming again after a short but super exciting tenure as coach of Cloud9: LS has a problem with Renekton because he sees the champ as a “comfort pick” that is no longer questioned.
When Renekton is doing poorly, he is really doing poorly
What’s wrong with Renekton? Renekton is the case of a champion who looks fantastic strong when everything goes according to plan and he can execute his game.
But when Renekton falls behind, the matches go seriously wrong. He is probably a “lose more” champ; once he is on the loser’s path, he goes full throttle and races to the finish.
It also seems to just be a pick that many top laners feel comfortable with, even when they should feel quite uncomfortable.
This evening, August 23, Destiny 2 will officially seal the fate of the Guardians and take a look into the future. The Witness, the new personalization of Darkness, is already planning the end of the great shooter saga. MeinMMO is live and will provide you with all important details and background information about the reveal stream in German.
This is why the stream is so important: Do you want to know how Destiny 2 will continue in Season 18 and 2023? Then today is your day. Interested Guardians will learn everything about the next chapter of the Light and Darkness saga during Bungie’s big reveal stream.
Among other things, how the future will look against the Witness and his impressive allies. Because soon the Guardians will have to face this overwhelming power.
The name of Season 18 will be revealed along with the corresponding season trailer.
There will be first impressions of Arc 3.0, the new Arc ability.
But the new Legacy raid for Season 18 will also be officially introduced.

There’s certainly not a long way left for the Guardians until the end. Things are getting serious in Destiny 2, as the Witness is getting closer and threatens not only the Traveler with his light but also the Guardians.
We know that Darkness is on its way to us. The Witness explained at the end of the “The Witch Queen DLC” that the game is now finished and the “Children of Sol” have suffered enough.
It is almost clear that the Witness wants to have the Traveler. And as a result, the last refuge of humanity could enter a state of siege because of the Pyramid ships. It would be grand and fatal at the same time.
So will you be there this evening when Bungie reveals the future? Or do you no longer believe that Destiny 2 has any potential for more? Feel free to leave us your opinion in the comments.

Anyone who has dealt with the history of all previous raids in Destiny 2 has probably come across the name “Kingsfall”. This cult raid was one of the best raids in Destiny 1 and now it is back. But why was it so popular? We will show you.
What is the Kingsfall raid about? In the Destiny 1 expansion “The Taken King” appeared Oryx, one of the three Hive Sisters in the Guardian’s solar system, to make short work of them.
He wanted to avenge the murder of his son “Crota” by the Guardian and the Traveler. After completing the TTK campaign, many Guardians thought the nightmare was over after the final battle when they fought and defeated Oryx. But that was not the case.
Watch the trailer for Oryx’s return here:

Oryx was able to cleverly escape thanks to his Dreadnought and save his life. For understanding: Powerful beings often use so-called Dreadnoughts in Destiny to save their selves upon sudden death and to reappear stronger. Oryx used the same tactic to outsmart the Guardians.
In this case, however, the powerful Hive God did not have a separate parallel world like Savathun or Mara Sov, but a huge Dreadnought. He used this as a mobile Dreadnought and also for critical situations. However, the Guardians saw through his plan at that time.
A team of six Guardians was assembled to destroy Oryx once and for all on his ship. And this raid quickly became one of the most popular activities in Destiny 1.
This raid boss was responsible for the birth of true Guardian legends.
Oryx finally offered the Guardians what they wanted: Variety
Variety was an important part of Kingsfall: To understand why the return of the Kingsfall raid is so special, you need to know how it was structured. Overall, the raid had a total of five phases – more than usual. These were:
The Glyph Phase with the Totems
The Warpriest and his stone tablets
The Ogre named Golgoroth, a rather unique beast
The fight against the Deathsingers, also known as Oryx’s Daughters
And the decisive final battle against Oryx himself
There were thus four different bosses you had to face before you could call yourselves “Godslayers”. In addition, there were two challenging “jump and run” sections, followed by a labyrinth and a pre-phase to delve deeper into the Dreadnought.
Oryx’s ship was gigantic
When you consider all the phases that Guardians have to go through, your mouth waters. There was so much to do and a lot to explore.
The raid thus offered a huge amount of diverse and non-repetitive content that had never been seen before in a raid of Destiny 1. Even the Vault of Glass or the “Wrath of the Machine” raid didn’t offer anywhere near such a level of variety.
Kingsfall showed the Guardians how puny they are
A raid must stand out from many activities to shine. The simple 6-Guardian scenario in a longer PvE mission is simply not enough. The Oryx raid that Bungie now brings to Destiny 2 offered just this shine. In the Dreadnought, one felt lost, overwhelmed by its seemingly endless size and the constant dangers lurking around every corner.
Once you finally managed, after hours, to have the opportunity to confront the Taken King, the next goosebumps moment followed. As soon as the Guardians dared to activate a floating Light Sphere in the middle of the arena, the gigantic Oryx appeared out of nowhere and reminded the Guardians just how puny they actually are. The Hive God is truly a powerful boss, as described in the book.
The Taken King signified a tremendous danger that was hardly stoppable at that time. With his raid, this danger was further intensified.
Hardly any boss in Destiny’s history could top his epic appearance.
Oryx is so big that he uses his ship as a stand.
When the Guardians then successfully survived the four Ogre phases with the dark Taken bombs, it was time for the Final Stand. There, you needed all the available ammunition to shoot into the tainted heart of the demon. So you either had to give it your all or Oryx would give you a deadly applause and ruthlessly erase you.
For more on Destiny 2 and its nostalgia, click here:
Anyone who has managed to defeat Oryx once and for all has also put him in a petrified state. Some Guardians still tell today that his remains are allegedly still floating near Saturn to witness the brave deeds of these first, brave Guardians.
When can you play the raid? Now it’s time for the new Guardian generation in Destiny 2 to face Oryx in the Kingsfall raid and prove themselves. Already on August 26 at 7 PM, the Dreadnought will open its gates again. Anyone brave enough can then try to prove themselves against this legendary raid boss for free.
This was our nostalgic look back at the Kingsfall raid. Did you expect Bungie to bring this icon to Destiny 2 in Season 18? And are you already among the legends who faced this raid in Destiny 1? Was it as cool as we described, or did you find other raids to be much better? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

On Saturday, August 27, 2022, there will be a big closing event for the GO Fest 2022 in Pokémon GO. Use the time until then and prepare accordingly. We at MeinMMO provide you with 5 important tips on what you should have done before the event starts.
Who can participate? As during the global GO Fest in June, all trainers can participate worldwide in this event as well. However, it is again the case that you can only access all the content of the GO Fest with a valid event ticket.
But whether you ultimately buy a ticket or not, you should make the most of the time leading up to the event to prepare properly. To ensure that the finale is a complete success for you, we have summarized 5 important tips below.
1. Make space for new Pokémon
In order to catch the Pokémon that will spawn that day, you should already start sorting your Pokémon storage. For trainers who want to play all day, we recommend making space for at least 500 monsters.
For sorting, it’s best to use the tag and filter functions in the game. By entering “0*,1*,2*”, you will directly see all monsters that have a maximum of 2 stars.
Filter in Pokémon GO
If you want to sort out more Pokémon during the event, we recommend the additional filter “Alter0”. This will show you only monsters that are not older than 24 hours. If you combine this with the input of strength, for example 0*, you can create space in your bag with just a few clicks.
By the way: If you want to snag extra candies when sending Pokémon, you should act fast. During the spotlight hour with Nidoran (male) on August 23, you will receive a candy bonus for sending Pokémon.
2. Gather supplies
During the closing event, you can expect plenty of wild spawns and interesting raid bosses. For this reason, you should also be equipped with enough and especially the right items. We recommend already acquiring a sufficient supply of the following items.
Balls
The most important items during the GO Fest finale are, of course, balls. If you run out of them, you can no longer catch monsters and will have to restock. That’s why you should use the time until the start to prepare a sufficient supply.
For those who want to enjoy the event to the fullest and play all day long, it’s best to start with at least 600 balls. With these, you can play for a while and comfortably restock.
Pokéball, Superball and Hyperball
Especially the Super and Hyper balls can be helpful when playing, as Pokémon with high CP stay in better in them. So make sure to focus on those. You can find out how you can get balls in Pokémon GO in our article:
In addition to balls, various berries will also be important during the event. Especially those participating in raids should have enough golden razz berries and silver pinap berries ready.
With the help of regular pinap berries, you can also secure double candies when catching monsters. This is especially useful for Pokémon you do not encounter often outside of this event but have a strong evolution, such as Axew.
To make capturing some monsters easier, you can also rely on a few razz berries and nanab berries.
Razz Berry, Nanab Berry, Pinap Berry, Golden Razz Berry, and Silver Pinap Berry
Raid Passes, Revives & Potions
Raid Passes: As you are already familiar from the GO Fest in June, there will also be some coveted raid bosses at the closing event. Besides a new chance at Shiny Axew, the Ultra Beasts Shabelle, Masskito, and Voltriant will be available for all players for the first time.
If you don’t want to miss your chance, make sure to have enough raid passes available. Trainers who have acquired an event ticket will also receive 9 free raid passes by spinning the photo disc at gyms that day.
Revives & Potions: An adequate number of revives and potions is also crucial for participating in raids. It’s best to rely on Max Revives and Max Potions, so the best attackers in Pokémon GO are ready for the next battle with just a few clicks.
Premium Battle Pass, Remote Raid Pass, Max Revive, and Max Potion
Incense & Hatchers
Incense: Players who have an event ticket can benefit from exclusive spawns from incense throughout the event. This will last for 2 hours during the event period. So if you don’t want to miss these spawns, make sure to use incense. To play all day, a total of 4 will be needed.
Hatchers: Another bonus that only ticket holders can benefit from is reduced hatch distance. This bonus is particularly useful for eggs with a long distance, like 10 or 12 km eggs. If you still have some, you should also keep a few hatchers ready.
During the closing event, there will be numerous raids in Pokémon GO. In the different habitats, you will encounter the Ultra Beasts Shabelle, Masskito, Voltriant, and Axew in level 5 raids.
But other interesting monsters like Axew, Snorlax, or Salamence are also waiting for you in the gyms. To avoid regretting forgetting one of the bosses later, you should already think about which monsters you would like to have.
Also, make arrangements for joint raids with your friends, because that way especially the difficult raids are easier and quicker to complete. Those with an event ticket can also benefit from an additional XP bonus when raiding on-site.
Unlike the level 4 raids during community days, you can also play from a distance or invite friends from other regions to your raids during the GO Fest finale.
4. Plan your route
To catch as many Pokémon as possible on this day and thus increase your chances of getting one or more shinies, you should definitely go outside. Movement will also spawn more monsters from your incense.
Consider where you want to spend the day and which route is suitable for playing. Keep in mind that it is wise to have enough PokéStops and gyms there. These not only bring you more spawns but also allow you to refill your supplies and ultimately defeat the raid bosses. But also coordinate with your friends about this.
If you will be outside all day catching Pokémon, you should also think about the right equipment. In addition to a fully charged smartphone, you should definitely bring a power bank to charge your phone on the go.
You should also not forget food and drinks. This way, you won’t waste valuable event time having to buy something on-site. In warm weather, it’s also important to apply sun protection and best to protect yourself from the sun while on the go.
What tips do you have to prepare for the GO Fest closing event? Are you ready to go? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers.
On Saturday, trainers can encounter a costumed Pikachu, but players are sad because they wished for a different costume for the GO Fest finale . We will show you which one it is.

In GTA Online you need chips (tokens) to participate in gambling activities like the slot machines. We show you how to buy chips and play.
This is the in-game currency in the casino: To participate in gambling, you need to use tokens in various activities. You can get them at the cashier in exchange for GTA dollars.
Where to buy tokens in GTA Online
Where can you find tokens? In the casino, you will see a marker on the minimap showing stacked chips. There, the cashier is waiting in a secured area. Go to the counter and speak to the cashier there.
What can you buy? You have the option to buy a self-defined number of tokens. The exchange is 1:1. So 10 tokens cost 10 GTA dollars, 100 tokens cost 100 GTA dollars, and so on.
The minimum purchase is 10 tokens. You can exchange a maximum of 50,000 tokens at once. That’s the daily limit for token purchases in GTA Online. One day lasts 45 minutes in real life. After that, you can buy tokens again.
How many tokens do I have? On the top right corner, beneath your money, the number of tokens you own is displayed.
Are you missing the necessary money to buy more chips? No problem. We have listed ways to earn money quickly in GTA Online.
How to get free tokens? Once a day, there is a visitor bonus in the casino. You get 1,000 tokens for free. Make sure to collect them daily to get the most out of this bonus.
You can also get free tokens when buying a penthouse. If you purchase the most expensive penthouse, which costs 6.5 million GTA dollars, you will receive 5,000 tokens as a bonus.
If you buy a standard membership at the Diamond Casino & Resort for 500 GTA dollars, you get 5,000 tokens for free.
Participate in Gambling – Slot Machines, Horse Racing, Lucky Wheel
Here’s how to get started: With the tokens you have, you can now participate in the new games. Simply move to the station where you want to participate.
If you approach a table or a machine, you will be explained the game rules there. Then you can bet with a specific amount of tokens and test your luck.
Where to play poker? In the back area of the casino, you will find table games. Here you can expect 3-Card Poker, Roulette, or Blackjack.
Lucky Wheel: You can spin the lucky wheel for free once a day and claim your rewards. This works every 24 hours.
If you are very lucky, you might even win the car that is on display in the casino.
Horse Racing: Under the name “Inside Track”, you will find digital horse racing at the casino in GTA Online. The races start every few minutes, and you can bet on which horse will finish first.
The Twitch streamer Sara “ih3artpew” Heart was banned from the streaming platform for sexual content. However, she feels she is being punished for her body.
This is the streamer in question: Sara Heart describes herself as a “Variety Streamer.” Until her ban, she spent a lot of time in the “Just Chatting” category on Twitch, but she also enjoyed showing simulations like Star Citizen or Ultimate Fishing, a fishing game.
She had been streaming on Twitch since October 2021 and had amassed over 40,000 followers there. Sara is part of the Twitch Affiliate Program.
The streaming giant Twitch is often criticized for its banning policy. You can check out which bans have caused significant discussions here:
Start video
The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
What is known about the ban: On August 22, Sara Heart announced via Twitter that she had been banned from Twitch for sexual content. She had been on stream for less than three minutes when the ban hit her.
Sara shared the email she received from Twitch. In it, the reason for the ban is stated as “sexually suggestive behavior.” Due to the severity of the violation or the fact that the streamer had already received several strikes, her access was suspended indefinitely.
This email was received by Sara from Twitch
What the ban means for the streamer: Since this is already Sara’s third ban, it resulted in an indefinite suspension. This means that the account will not be automatically restored after a certain period of time.
How can Sara get her account back? The only way out of an indefinite suspension is to successfully appeal. Whether the streamer will take this route is still uncertain. The number of bans has driven her to stream on other platforms.
Just last week, VTuber Shylily found herself in a similar position:
This was the trigger for the suspension: On Twitter, Sara also shared her streaming outfit, which is believed to have led to the ban. It was a rather low-cut checkered shirt. The streamer called for an explanation from Twitch about what is sexual about fishing in a long-sleeved shirt.
That’s why Sara finds the ban unjustified: Some users quickly pointed out that the cut was indeed too deep. However, Sara clarifies: Her stream was labeled as 18+, and moreover, the ban was due to sexual content. This differs from a ban for inappropriate clothing.
The streamer is fully aware that she would show a lot of cleavage. However, that’s hard to avoid with a large chest. Moreover, it had been very hot for her in Arizona. Sara also emphasizes that nothing was sexualized.
I don’t know if I’m expected to dress like a nun or never wear a tank top, but my game screen is usually larger than the cam. Except for the “4th of July” stream, which I did in a patriotic top and denim jacket, I usually dress quite modestly.
What Sara says about Twitch: The streamer believes a Twitch moderator has it particularly in for her. She wishes for more communication from the platform and accuses it of being silent. (via Twitter)
Sexual content on Twitch regularly sparks discussions. The platform is based in the USA and apparently adheres to the moral standards there. Here, it may seem a bit prudish. Streamers – especially female streamers – constantly find creative ways to interpret the strict guidelines.
Thus, the infamous “Hot Tub” meta also emerged, which dominated Twitch for a while. A streamer skillfully exploited these gray areas and became incredibly successful:

Are you thinking about buying a next-gen console? MeinMMO explains why you should consider buying an Xbox Series X instead of a PS5.
For many gamers, an Xbox Series X or a PS5 is a good alternative to a gaming PC. For 500 euros, you already get a powerful console that provides enough performance for all current top titles.
But what reasons are there to buy an Xbox Series X instead of a PS5? MeinMMO presents 8 reasons that speak for purchasing an Xbox Series X.
If you’re looking for a comparative analysis instead, check out our overview. Here we compare the two consoles along with their pros and cons:
Unlike the competition, the Xbox Series X is now almost continuously available. While you have to wait for a drop with the PS5, you can comparatively easily order the Xbox Series X from MediaMarkt, Amazon, etc.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
For 499.99 euros, you get the Xbox Series X with a drive, while you can buy the Series S without a drive for around 270 euros. Unlike the PS5, you can also purchase the Xbox console as a subscription with Game Pass. MeinMMO explains to you, who might find the Xbox Series X subscription worth it.
If you are still looking for a PS5 and really want to buy one, check out our PS5 ticker here on MeinMMO. Here you can find all tips and tricks for buying a PS5:
For around 10 euros, you can subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass. Here you get access to hundreds of games of very varying quality. Alongside many top titles like Elder Scrolls: Online or Age of Empires IV, there are also many indie titles.
Another advantage of Game Pass is that you can play many new games directly upon release at no additional cost. Games like Halo Infinite or Psychonauts 2 can be played right on the first day. This is especially exciting since you now pay 69.99 euros for next-gen games for PS5 or Xbox Series X.
By now, Sony has also revised its PS Plus subscription, and here you also get dozens of games in the subscription. However, it remains unlikely that Sony will provide you with exclusive titles for the PS5 for free directly in the subscription. Older top titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man can now be played for free in the expanded PS Plus subscription.
Smart Delivery Feature
“Smart Delivery” is a feature that you can only use on the Xbox. When you install a game with “Smart Delivery,” you automatically install the best version of the game. When you install a game on the Xbox Series X, you also install the version for Series X.
Furthermore, the Xbox will notify you as soon as a next-gen version is available for one of your installed games. Therefore, you are always up to date.
Compared to the PS5, the Xbox Series X looks a bit more compact and smaller. And even on paper, the Xbox Series X is smaller than the PS5. The PS5 is rightly considered the largest next-gen console, which is mainly due to a single component in the PS5.
Xbox Series X: 310 mm x 160 mm x 160 mm
PS5: 390 mm x 260 mm x 104 mm
The design of both consoles is otherwise a matter of taste. Many gamers prefer a black design, which is why many complained about the white design of the PS5. However, you can now also buy official side plates that allow you to change the color of the PS5.
Colorful side plates for the PS5 are now also available. Now the PS5 is not just white.
Backward Compatibility
The Xbox Series X and S offer extensive backward compatibility. You can not only play current titles on a Series X, but also use numerous Xbox 360 games, and for example, dig out your old Fable disc.
Therefore, you can also play very old games on your new Xbox. The Xbox then emulates the runtime environment of the old generation. So you can still play the Xbox-exclusive “Fable 2” on the Xbox Series X.
Some backward-compatible games are no longer available for sale. If you purchased a backward-compatible game on Xbox 360 or have a game DVD, you can also play these games on the Xbox Series X | S console. On the Series S, only digital games work.
On the PS5, you can only play backward-compatible PS4 games. This applies to both digital games and the physical discs you may have. PS3 games and games from even older generations can neither be purchased digitally nor played as discs. However, you can stream some older games with PS Plus.
Microsoft’s Major Purchases
Microsoft, the company behind Xbox, has acquired several major gaming companies in recent years:
In 2020, Microsoft bought Bethesda, thus binding major brands like The Elder Scrolls, Doom, or Dishonored to itself.
Microsoft has at least explained that it will continue to honor existing contracts in the future and intends to continue releasing certain games like Call of Duty for the PlayStation consoles.
Nevertheless, with the purchase of Bethesda, it was already shown that Starfield will only be released for PC and Xbox and not for the PS5. For blockbuster titles like Starfield, you will therefore need either a powerful gaming PC or an Xbox Series X in the future.
Will games like Diablo IV still come to PS5 or only for PC and Xbox Series X|S?
The Xbox Series X Offers More Computing Power
Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X use roughly the same hardware. Both consoles are based on a chip from AMD. You can therefore use features like ray tracing on both consoles.
Nevertheless, there are a few small differences. The Xbox Series X offers slightly more computing power, as the CPU clock speed is faster, and the GPU offers more compute units (36 vs 52). Compute units are clusters of processing elements in the GPU. The more you have, the faster the GPU. The Xbox Series X delivers 12.15 TFLOPS, while the PS5 only achieves 10.28 TFLOPS. This difference sparked a major discussion about the teraflops of PS5 and Xbox Series X.

If you absolutely want the currently fastest next-gen console, there is no way around the Xbox Series X. Whether you can practically feel that while gaming on the TV or gaming monitor is another question.
The Xbox Series X offers more storage space in the base configuration than the PS5. While the PS5 is equipped with an SSD of 825 GB, the Xbox Series X comes with a 1 TB SSD. Especially at a time when games like Call of Duty: Warzone or Elder Scrolls: Online easily occupy 100 GB or more on your hard drive, larger storage space matters.
Additionally, upgrading the internal storage on the Xbox Series X is much easier. If you purchase a storage module, you only need to slide it into the Xbox without having to awkwardly open the console. The system of the Xbox Series X | S is absolutely foolproof.
The storage expansion is simply inserted into the Xbox. Quite foolproof.

The Kraber sniper rifle in Apex Legends was considered a top weapon among players. After a nerf of the weapon in Season 13, players are continuously discussing the change and are divided on what to make of it. Just recently, there was another discussion about it on reddit.
In the patch notes for Season 13 under the motto “Saviors,” changes to the previously strongest sniper rifle in Apex Legends were noted (via ea.com).: The Kraber rifle.
The weapon is listed in the balance updates along with the following changes:
Headshot multiplier decreased from 3.0 to 2.0
Damage decreased from 145 to 140
The Kraber rifle thus received a nerf that not all players liked. Back in May 2022, for example, it was discussed on Twitter (via Twitter). Two days ago, there was once again an exchange on reddit about the topic.
Here is the launch trailer for Season 14:

Apex Legends – Hunted Launch Trailer
What reddit users are saying in the discussion
User GhostxFilter posted under the headline “Kraber nerf was a mistake” a discussion about the weapon change (via reddit). He asks what the reason for this is and states: “The Kraber has been in the care package since day one, the spawn rate for it seemed non-existent, and given the greater bullet drop and slower projectile speed, getting a headshot with one shot was absolutely a reward for skill with the weapon.” The user further claims that the Kraber rifle is now useless:
[…]The only thing that has changed is the damage, and given the slow speed of the weapon, it is practically impossible to get a kill with it. If you used to get killed by a Kraber, it meant that the person using it was good and that you were killed by an experienced player. If you now get killed by a Kraber, it’s solely your fault because you are an easy target.
If you get hit twice in a row, you need to reposition because you managed to be slower than someone firing another bullet and shooting at you a second time. Moreover, given the improved protective gear and the legends that have more health than God himself, it really wasn’t necessary to decrease the damage.
In my opinion, they shouldn’t have touched the Kraber. It was really perfect the way it was. When I used to see or hear a Kraber, I thought: “Oh, oh… better be careful, there’s a Kraber around,” but now I see it in the game and simply ignore it as just another sniper.
What do users who agree with the criticism say? In the discussion, some reddit users agree with the criticism and are dissatisfied with the nerf:
jaCRLee: “I agree and have also agreed to op. It was already significantly limited by the care package (it was rare, or with the ammo in general). It’s hardly worth picking up now when you have other weapons that can kill faster. It wouldn’t make sense to allow just one per game, that would practically make them nonexistent. They should have left it as is. Especially since the helmets have already received a buff”.
What do commenters who disagree with the criticism say? Not everyone agrees with the criticism. Many users see no problem with the nerf. They believe that the Kraber rifle is still a good weapon:
Impurity 41: “I feel that it is a guaranteed 3,2,1 weapon for the team or a great push tool if you manage to get 2 of them” [This is a strategy in the game where you agree on a target as a team and shoot at it simultaneously]
jape-the-neck-guy: “I think people underestimate how useful so much damage can be. Any kind of hit still requires them to go into cover and heal, and you still need the right combination of helmet and shield to withstand even a headshot, and even if they can, they are still damn near a shot. It wasn’t necessarily broken before, just unfair. It’s still damn powerful and a game changer to have. Provided you can fire shots with that thing”.
Some also express a mixed opinion: Fandomer explains his opinion as follows: “‘Now it’s just useless’ lmao no, it still hits 140 to body or head shots on the opponent, who either gets one-shotted or stands there with low hp. In mid/high ranks, you will still die to 321 and Kraber, so I partially agree that nerfing it is pointless in my opinion.”
Destiny 2 seems to be leaking. So today, before the big showcase at 6 PM, more leaks have surfaced for the community. Both regarding Season 18 and Lightfall. Now players are already dreaming of a Destiny 2 that will look like Mass Effect and Cyberpunk, but with the best story beats from Bungie. MeinMMO shows you what else has leaked.
What has leaked about Season 18 and Lightfall? Many fans of the Destiny universe are looking forward to Bungie’s big reveal stream for Destiny 2 tonight. We at MeinMMO will also be there live to report on the event for you.
However, it seems the loot shooter is already leaking. More and more details about the new Season 18 and the next expansion Lightfall are surfacing.
Today, a post was published on reddit that apparently confirms the return of old enemies and could also bring back a well-known NPC.
Weapons from Season 18 can be seen there, showcasing an insectoid design.
The biggest hype, however, surrounds an alleged key art for the upcoming season pass of the Lightfall DLC. This looks like Destiny 2 in the style of Mass Effect and Cyberpunk. Something that Ginsor has already announced on Twitter, without providing photographic evidence. Now others have apparently taken over.
We will show you what photos have now been revealed and especially what can be seen in them. However, please note that these are just possibilities and theories. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
If you don’t like spoilers, then save the suspense until tonight and just click on this article:
Season 18 with Fallen? It seems increasingly likely.
Season 18 seems to feature old acquaintances
A few days ago, first rumors about Season 18 surfaced, allegedly revealing the name of Season 18: “Season of the Plunder”. This already sounded strongly like a new season featuring plundering Fallen.
The latest leak screenshot, which was shared on the D2-Leaks-Discord server, supports this option. Here you can take a look at the two images:

What do the screenshots show about Season 18? The photos show two Ketchs, which are the massive starships of the Fallen. One looks very much like a cool pirate ship, and the other bears a sigil that may seem familiar to some players. It strongly resembles the emblem of Spider, the former ruler of the Tangled Shore.
What exactly happened to Spider, the former Tangled Shore black market dealer, remains unclear. After he exploited Crow for his purposes, he lost the favor of the Queen of the Reef.
The Guardians could not find any trace of him shortly before the servers were shut down and the Tangled Shore was deactivated as a destination. Therefore, some believed he might have escaped beforehand.
Is Spider returning in Season 18 as a pirate king with his own Ketch starship?
In his escape, he is said to have received help from another rogue in Destiny 2. Allegedly, the Drifter made a deal with Spider and sheltered him in the ruins of the Last City. From there, he presumably operated underground throughout the past seasons. On one hand, hidden from the curious eyes of the Vanguard and on the other, safe from Mara Sov’s revenge.
Did Spider perhaps build a new pirate empire during this time and now wants to reclaim his former position as the top black market dealer in the Destiny universe? Could he even be planning to loot the Last City or even Xur’s treasure vault?
At least the logo on the Fallen Ketch has led Guardians to discuss that he has secretly built his new Spider pirate empire. This could allow him to start resource plundering in the Cosmodrome.
Season-18-leak even shows new weapons – Guardians stunned by the many leaks.
Alleged Season 18 weapons have also been shown: There is also a screenshot that is supposed to show new weapons from Season 18. Although the image is quite blurred, it really looks very much like the typical Bungie style.
The background also apparently shows a Fallen sigil, and around the weapons, there are gold bars and coins, which somewhat resemble Xur’s treasure vault.
The weapons themselves include a pulse rifle, a machine gun, a submachine gun, a pistol, a shotgun, and a linear fusion rifle.
Particularly notable is the submachine gun. On it sits a creature that closely resembles a spider.
You can take a closer look at the weapons on reddit.

Lightfall Key Art presumably shows a new Darkness enemy
It can no longer be denied that the Witness wants to destroy the Traveler. The Vanguard currently has few resources to face his overwhelming forces. The Vanguard needs strong allies, but it is still completely unclear who that will ultimately be.
Key Art shows old and yet unknown NPCs: The question is, who could stand with the Vanguard against the Witness, his army of Pyramid ships, and his Heralds? A first stylish neon cyberpunk key art might have now provided an answer.
In the leaked key art for the upcoming season pass of the Lightfall DLC, we not only see three Guardians but also Osiris again.
In the middle, there are also two NPCs separated by a beam of light.
On one hand, we see the Witness of Darkness who players already know.
On the other, there is also an ominous figure without a nose. Visually, the face resembles Calus and his automatons. But Rasputin, the Warmind, would also be a valid option if he were to receive a new Exo body.
Far right, there is an unknown NPC in futuristic armor.
You can view the Lightfall key art here and decide for yourself how much faith you want to place in the image.

Further leaks show armors and more: However, these three leaks were by no means everything that is said to have leaked from Bungie in recent days and today. Initial images of armors and even enemies have also been shown.
In the subreddit for Destiny 2, the effort has surely been made to compile all leaks in a large thread. And this list is not only long but also truly worth seeing.
Here you can find more news about Season 18 in Destiny 2:
However, some Guardians are also surprised why so much is leaking from Bungie all of a sudden. As player ClockZealousideal914 writes in the Destiny 2 reddit:
People, when everything is datamined the next day by players who are not having fun, it’s pointless to bother trying to keep something secret. Even if you aren’t actively looking for something, you will see it because it’s datamined or leaked on PasteBin.
What do you think about this flood of leaks? Do you think it’s good when dataminers dig everything up and publish it? Or does it take away from your enjoyment, and do you find that Bungie needs to get better at keeping its secrets as secrets? Feel free to leave us a comment.

One of the biggest Twitch streamers right now is Félix “xQc” Lengyel (26). He is often on air and apparently does not find time to clean up. Fans and other content creators react in shock to the chaos in his streaming room, but xQc doesn’t seem to mind it much.
Who is xQc?
The Franco-Canadian is among the greats on Twitch: he has over 11 million followers, with more than 64,000 people watching him on average (via sullygnome)
These are the clips in question: Strictly speaking, it’s not just one clip, but two. On August 17, xQc showed at the beginning of his stream how messy his desk looked: piles of fast food bags and drink cans. Apparently, the streamer just throws everything beside him on the floor when he’s done eating.
The clip spread on YouTube and in the LivestreamFails subreddit. Viewers were shocked and appalled. After all, xQc must have several million in his account, yet he survives on fast food and lives in garbage.
Additionally, an older clip resurfaced as well. In it, xQc’s then-girlfriend demands that he clean up. However, he claims that it’s not that bad and swings his camera around so everyone can participate in the chaos.
This clip also shows fast food packaging and drink cans, but on xQc’s desk, there’s also half-eaten food, and under the bed, there are supposed to be leftovers and snack packaging.
PewDiePie and Ken react to xQc’s desk
Mockery for Chaos Clips
This is how other content creators reacted: YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, posted a video on August 21, in which he reacts to “Stream Fails” together with Ken “CinnamonToastKen” Morrison. The older of the two xQc clips made the cut.
PewDiePie was particularly annoyed by the uneaten food that was left out in the open. He could still accept the drinks, but that was just bad. Ken added that he had already reacted to videos of hoarders that looked suspiciously similar. PewDiePie laughed in agreement. (via YouTube)

Streamer Charlie “Cr1TiKaL” White, known for his Halo challenge, made a video about the grossest rooms on Twitch. He called the setup a junkyard but admitted that it was a rather isolated area in the big room. The rest looked pretty tidy. However, he couldn’t really understand xQc’s attitude.
He makes it sound like he wasn’t the one who did it. As if a burglar came in and left his McDonald’s bags on the floor. Unbelievable! Does he blackout when he eats McDonald’s and forgets that he threw it on the floor, so he’s always surprised when it’s still there in the morning? How does that happen? He looks just as surprised as I do.
However, for Cr1TiKaL, it’s not just trash; the chaos tells a story. He could track xQc’s calorie intake from the waste and make guesses about his digestion. He also feared the pests that could be attracted by the trash. It was like a portal to hell.
Here you can dive into Twitch’s garbage dumps with Cr1TiKaL. The video is in English.

This is what xQc himself says: He has now commented on both clips. While he took Cr1TiKaL’s criticism very calmly, he opted for an unusual justification with PewDiePie: it just smells good.
Guys, no joke. Guys, I don’t know if you know this, okay? Probably no one can understand this, but Dave’s [probably the fast-food chain Dave’s Hot Chicken] when it goes bad after a few days. Like five days or so, then it actually smells kind of good. The fries and pickles, when they go bad, smell pleasant.
Are there other opinions as well? Asmongold, the undisputed king of the chaotic room, also watched Cr1TiKaL’s video about the grossest rooms on Twitch. He couldn’t understand all the fuss at all. That was at most the trash of a week, and everything was in one place. It would only take 2 to 5 minutes to clean up. (via YouTube)
Can you relate to xQc’s scent preferences, or will you get nervous like Cr1TiKaL at the sight of the occasional fruit fly? Does it remind you of the “Battle Stations” from 4chan times? Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion.
With his gambling streams, xQc was very successful but also received a lot of criticism. In Germany, the casino trend also emerged, but the big names like Knossi and MontanaBlack have since distanced themselves from it. Why the situation in Germany is different, you can read here:
In Pokémon GO, many trainers are eagerly looking forward to the new season. A new find now provides the first hints about what players can expect in the coming weeks. We at MeinMMO have looked into what it’s about.
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? The Season of GO is slowly coming to an end and will have its big finale with the final event for GO Fest 2022. But what comes next? What will the next season be about?
These questions have certainly been on the minds of some trainers in recent days, but they cannot be answered at the moment. Except for the dates for the next Community Days, Niantic has not commented on this yet.
However, the Pokéminers, a group of data miners, have found various text passages in the source code of Pokémon GO that could provide the first clues about upcoming Pokémon. We’ll show you what they’ve discovered.
Who are the Pokéminers? The Pokéminers are a group of data miners who regularly search the game code of Pokémon GO for new information. They then make this data publicly available to all players.
Through their findings, they have accurately predicted numerous changes or debuts in the past. However, since there is no official information, there are no guarantees that it will actually be implemented.
These texts were found
What was found? As reddit user martycochrane reports in his post, the Pokéminers have once again set out to search for new information in the game code (via reddit.com).
During their search, they came across several texts related to Campfire and the GO Battle League, especially new information about the upcoming finale event. A central theme will be the dialogues between Professor Willow, who will reappear at the end of the season, and Rhi.
They will talk to you about the observations they made in connection with the Ultra Wormholes and the underlying dimension. According to the Pokéminers, a statement from Professor Willow during the 4th special research related to the finale event could provide insight into the further progress of the game.
What does Willow say? The professor describes that he was “surrounded by a protective presence” in the so-called Ultra Space, which was “warm like the sun and calm like the moon.” Specifically, this looks like in the source code (via pokeminers.com):
+RESOURCE ID: gofest_2022_finale_4_1_5 +TEXT: No, it was more than a feeling. It was like I was surrounded by a protective presence—warm like the sun and calm like the moon.
In the further course of the dialogue, Willow suddenly sees something in the sky, which he cannot pursue as he suddenly feels incredibly tired, so you should go check it out.
+RESOURCE ID: gofest_2022_finale_4_1_9 +TEXT: Wait. Is there something in the sky? I’d investigate myself, but… *yawn* I suddenly feel like I lost a staring contest with a Hypno.
+RESOURCE ID: gofest_2022_finale_4_1_10 +TEXT: You and your Pokémon should go check it out. I’ll be here. Just give me a…minute… +*snore*
Will Solgaleo and Lunala celebrate a release soon?
Which Pokémon could play a role in this? The hints Willow gives all point to the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala. These come from the 7th generation of games and are the evolutions of Cosmog and Cosmovum.
Visually, especially Cosmog and Cosmovum resemble the universe and various celestial bodies. While Solgaleo initially looks like a simple white lion at first glance, its mane is said to represent the sun. This is further emphasized by the orange and yellow decorations.
Lunala, on the other hand, is primarily recognized by its bat-like arms and its dark blue to purple body. When Lunala closes its wings, its appearance resembles a night sky with stars and golden crescent moons. Thus, it also visually represents the counterpart to Solgaleo.
Cosmog, Cosmovum, Solgaleo, and Lunala (via pokemon.com)
For this reason, Solgaleo and Lunala also adorn the covers of the main games Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.
Additionally, both monsters and their pre-evolutions belong to the Psychic type, which could hint at the sudden fatigue Willow experiences after his sky observation.
What happens next in the dialogue? However, the specific monster in question and how the story continues is not resolved in the further dialogue. After Willow falls asleep, Rhi tells you about these statements, but also leaves you somewhat in the rain. He only hints that he looks forward to further adventures together.
Trainers suspect a release during the new season
When would a release be conceivable? The information from the Pokéminers is generating considerable anticipation in the reddit community. Since the legendary monsters have not yet been announced for the remaining season and the dialogue is not finalized, it is to be expected that the legendary monsters will not come into the game until later.
However, as a change of season is just around the corner, many trainers think it likely that Solgaleo and Lunala could be part of the next season. Some even hope for a special Ultra Space season. This is what is being said in the comments (via reddit.com):
krispyboiz: “My suspicion is that there will be a season themed around Ultra Space where you will work with Rhi and Willow to conduct research. Perhaps you will receive Cosmog at the beginning of the season and there will be Solgaleo and Lunala raids at the end. In the meantime, they might bring us a week for each of the UBs [Ultra Beasts] that we have already received or at least a few days, maybe debut a few new ones, and some non-Alola bosses like Deoxys, Giratina, and/or Darkrai.”
galeongirl: “Sounds like a good release for December 21. Plenty of time to lure them in.”
repo_sado: “I doubt it will last the whole season. I bet we’ll get them by mid-November.”
Deltaravager: “I’m so ready for Lunala and Solgaleo. They are my favorite legendary pair. I’ve been saving over 1000 candy for more than a year so that I can get them to level 40 as soon as I get them.”
A release like with Hoopa? Other trainers, like Arturinni, expect that Niantic will once again tease the Pokémon in their dialogues for a long time. This was already the case last year with Hoopa, which also played a central role on the last day of GO Fest, but then only became available to trainers weeks later.
A similar scenario could also happen with Solgaleo and Lunala. Arturinni writes in the comments on reddit: “I can’t wait for them to tease us with Solgaleo and Lunala all season long.”
Whether and when the legendary monsters will actually appear in Pokémon GO remains to be seen. Since the data found is not official information, Niantic could also decide at any time to adjust anything.
However, if there are any new updates regarding this, you will definitely find out here on MeinMMO.
What do you think of the current findings from the Pokéminers? Do you think that Professor Willow’s hints point to the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala? And when could you envision a release? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
An update from Battlefield 2042 has been released, announcing fundamental changes in the game. In response to player feedback, the class system is being reintroduced, and DICE presents updates on maps and weapons.
That Battlefield 2042 was a major concern at release is now known to everyone. A developer update has now been released on YouTube, announcing some changes in the game (via YouTube). The changes include the return of the well-known class system, something many players had wished for.
The video on the developer update mentions four focal points:
fundamental gameplay
maps
experiences & modes
new content

Battlefield 2042 Development Update – August 2022
Changes in Battlefield 2042
How will the class system return? One change is the return of the class system in Battlefield 2042. The specialists of Battlefield 2042 will be assigned to the four different groups in Season 3.
Assignment of specialists to the 4 classes
Assault – Mackay, Sundance, Dozer
Support – Angel, Falck, Season 2 specialist
Engineer – Lis, Boris, Irish
Recon – Casper, Paik, Rao
This is the current distribution of characters into the class system. However, explicit feedback from players is desired, and the assignments are not final and can still be adjusted.
The change does not mean that the specialists from Battlefield 2042 will disappear; rather, they will additionally be categorized into classes.
This change was made based on player feedback. In the video, it is said: “When specialists were introduced in Battlefield 2042, it polarized. We heard you.”.
The specialists will receive a visual makeover and further improvements in their voice, posture, and facial expressions in Season 2 and 3.
What other changes will there be?
What new weapon innovations are there? With the launch of Season 2, Vault Weapons are set to be introduced in All-out Warfare. These are weapons that originally come from the Portal mode. They can be unlocked through a new feature: Assignments.
Initially, there will be two Vault weapons available at the start of Season 2. More weapons are planned to follow:
M16A3 Assault Rifle
M60E4 LMG
Which maps will be revised? Two of the maps, “Renewal” and “Orbital,” will receive a revision. The new Renewal map will be available in September, and Orbital in October. Further launch map updates are planned for upcoming seasons. There will also be a completely new map in Season 2.
What new content will there be? In Season 2, alongside the new map, a new specialist will be added. New hardware and a new Battle Pass will also be included. Portal will receive new content, and “new ways to play” are announced.
The video announces: Season 2 will start soon, and more information about it will follow throughout the month. Currently, the developers of Battlefield 2042 are working on Season 3 and beyond.
Upcoming seasons are expected to include a similar amount of new content and continue to grow Battlefield.

In Lost Ark and New World, the players’ dissatisfaction is slowly rising. Fans of the MMORPGs are suffering from massive lag and server issues, and so far, no changes are in sight.
What is the problem? Lost Ark and New World come from the same publisher “Amazon Game Studios”. The huge online retailer tried to establish itself in the gaming market with Lost Ark and New World and had huge success with it.
However, the retailer’s studio is now struggling with stability issues in both games, which significantly hinder your enjoyment. The lags and server problems are even such that they let players teleport on certain servers.
The problem is known to the Amazon studio
Which servers are affected? So far, it’s not exactly known which servers are affected, but in New World, especially the “Dry Tree” server is mentioned. A fan even reports players teleporting 30 meters through the map in-game, and that’s happening everywhere.
Lost Ark is also affected. However, the developers anticipated the fans and informed them that they are aware of the problem.
Community Manager Roxx commented on the Lost Ark issue: “Hello heroes, the team is aware of the current problems related to gameplay delays and server interruptions across all regions and is currently investigating this situation. We appreciate the reports and will keep players updated on progress.“
More about New World and Lost Ark can be found here:
When will improvements come? So far, no patch or update for both games is known. The team is currently busy gathering feedback to identify the core of the problem. Until this core is found, you will have to be patient. MeinMMO will keep you updated if something new about this problem is released.
How do you find Lost Ark and New World aside from the lags? Are you still having fun with them or are the server issues so persistent that they don’t let you play in peace? Let us know in the comments.

A screenshot is said to have shown the first “real” image of GTA 6. Fans firmly believe this, as the image was found in a game by Rockstar Games itself. An important insider explains that the mystery surrounding the image will be clarified in October 2022. This could even coincide with a major announcement.
What is this leak about GTA 6? For years, rumors have circulated in the gaming community, claiming to be “leaks” related to GTA 6. Often, these are pieces of content created by fans to deceive other players. However, when a leak was found in San Andreas from the GTA Trilogy in November 2021, it gained significant attention. Did Rockstar Games hide a hint about GTA 6 in the remaster of San Andreas?
The story behind it will probably soon unravel. An important insider, who has occasionally shared details about Rockstar games for years, has commented on the upcoming reveal.
Clarification on the Halloween event after UFO leak?
This was shown in the leak: The screenshot features four images framed in a UFO bar. You can see the images in the following tweet:
The house in the bottom right could, according to players’ investigations, be in Florida and would fit with “Vice City”. Vice City is believed to be one of the possible settings for GTA 6 in the community.
This is what the insider says now: Around Rockstar Games titles, the name “Tez2” is well known. The insider writes on Twitter and in the GTA forums about unreleased updates and games, accurately predicting them. In the GTA forums , Tez2 commented last Friday, August 19th.
16 days before Halloween, Rockstar will start showing UFOs in GTA Online. On October 23rd, a model of a stealth UFO will appear instead of the normal UFO.
Now I know what you are thinking: ‘Tez is bringing some GTA Online nonsense into a GTA6 thread. Haven’t we had enough of this outdated game? […]’
But listen to me: ‘Man, haven’t we heard enough from this guy?’
A year ago, we had this interesting scavenger hunt. The mysterious image was seen in the Lil’ Probe’Inn, a UFO bar.
Many players jumped on these comments and hints and asked for more details. Why would Rockstar Games announce something as big as GTA 6 with UFOs? To this, Tez2 writes:
“There is no in-game hint about GTA 6 in the files of GTA Online. Rockstar is careful enough not to do that. But the hint could appear in a tweet that Rockstar will prepare to talk about the UFOs in GTA Online.
We could get a tweet like this from Rockstar, with the difference that a small extra section might be added in the newspaper below, hinting at tropical storms in two days or something similar. So a hint towards the announcement of GTA 6.”
Tez2 writes that Rockstar Games revealed the first details about two major games, GTA V and RDR 2, both in October. Therefore, there is a high chance that they could make an announcement again in October. The UFO event would coincide with the timeframe in which the announcement is expected.
Thus, the mystery surrounding the new image in the trilogy version of San Andreas could soon be clarified. The insider’s information has always been reliable so far. It is quite possible that Rockstar Games will sprinkle new hints towards GTA 6 along with the UFOs. Do you think this is a likely scenario, or do you believe the developers have other plans?

In World of Warcraft, there have been significant problems with the auction house for about a week. A player recounts: He wanted to buy an item in the AH, purchased hundreds, and paid nearly 200,000 gold. Now Blizzard has acknowledged these issues in WOW, but players say: The difficulties are huge. The economy of the game will take weeks to recover.
What is the auction house in WoW? The auction house is where most of the trading in the MMORPG WoW takes place.
It works like eBay:
Vendors list items, set a minimum bid and auction duration, and a “buyout price”
Buyers can bid on items or buy them immediately for a higher price
For some, the auction house is a game in itself
This change caused difficulties: In WoW, patch 9.2.7 changed how auction houses operate a week ago: The trade of consumables was expanded to the entire region, allowing herbs to be sold all over Europe.
Start video
WoW: Fan creates trailer for Shadowlands Season 4 and everyone is excited – „The work is truly amazing“
A player wants to buy an item, buys hundreds, pays almost 200,000 gold
What impact did this have? The change to the auction house has led to significant problems for Blizzard over the past week.
A current bug is particularly serious: Players report that they wanted to buy a single item from the auction house but ended up purchasing “hundreds of items” instead.
In the forum, level 60 human paladin Atryk (via blizzard) says: He wanted to buy an item but unintentionally acquired much more than he needed and lost 197,000 gold:
How is this even possible? I wanted to buy an item, and it automatically bought hundreds. Is there a way to undo this? I don’t even use an auction house addon, and I don’t see how I can report this in the game.
Atryk, Paladin
Other players have the opposite problem: They say that even though thousands of herbs are offered in the auction house, they cannot buy a single one.
Some lose a lot of gold, others make it
How severe is the problem? In the forum, a player named “Angrychair” discusses the issues with the auction house and its consequences for WoW (via blizzard). He says:
It will be interesting to see what Blizzard does to compensate for the damages, if they do anything at all. The economy will take weeks to recover, a lot of people have been swindled out of a BUNCH of gold, and a lot of other people have made a bunch of unearned gold and plan to make even more. Additionally, players have been prevented from really playing the game due to the issues, as they couldn’t buy consumables, craft legendary items, and so on.
Angrychair, Demon Hunter
How did Blizzard respond? On Sunday, after days of issues, Blizzard acknowledged that there is a “major issue with the auction house” causing auctions to stall. It is important for Blizzard to fix this.
On Tuesday morning, a hotfix was also released to address the problem. It remains to be seen whether WoW will return to normalcy now.
One of the most well-known MMORPGs “Guild Wars 2” makes its entry into the Steam universe today. Therefore, we will show you everything important about the launch with times and the corresponding prices here on MeinMMO.
What is happening with Guild Wars 2? The popular MMORPG is celebrating its 10th anniversary, as it was first released on August 28, 2012. For this reason, the developers are now planning to officially run the game on Steam. Players can thus download Guild Wars 2 for free on Steam on August 23 and can casually take a look at it.
In addition to the Steam release, there is also a cool trailer, check it out:
Start video
Guild Wars 2 is coming to Steam and shows trailer
What time should I keep an eye on? The release takes place today on August 23 at exactly 9 PM German time. However, you can already add the game to your wish list on Steam and subscribe to it.
How much does Guild Wars 2 cost on Steam? The base game of GW2 is free on Steam. However, if you are excited about the MMORPG universe, you can also indulge in the “Complete Edition.” This edition costs 100 € and includes all known expansions to date.
All 5 seasons of the Living World, which tells the story between the expansions
You will receive all known expansions in one package at a good price. If you were to purchase the DLCs individually, the price would therefore increase further.
Is there a catch? If you were excited to finally play your hard-earned character on Steam, we unfortunately have to disappoint you. You cannot transfer your existing accounts for Guild Wars 2 to Steam. If you choose a launcher, you will have to start from scratch again.
Nevertheless, the community is united, as they all play on the same servers. So, if your friend decides to start on Steam, you can wreak havoc together on the servers.
What do you think about the Steam release? Do you think it’s cool that GW2 is finally also available on Steam? Feel free to let us know in the comments how you feel about it!
