One of the biggest aspects of the movies from Marvel are the post-credit scenes, which hint at larger events after a film and build suspense and questions for the viewers. However, they don’t always lead to something. MeinMMO presents you with 10 such scenes that have not been resolved so far.
Which scenes are we talking about? Already in the first MCU film in 2008 (Iron Man), there was a post-credit scene. There, the Avengers Initiative was mentioned. After that, with the exception of Avengers: Endgame, almost all films and many series had such a scene, introducing upcoming events and characters.
However, with the countless films and series, there were also post-credit scenes that have not been resolved to this day. We show you 10 of them in the article.
We ignore scenes from 2024 and 2025, as they are still too fresh. If you think of another scene, feel free to write it in the comments.
1. The Villain Scorpion and the Identity of Spider-Man

Film: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
What happens in the scene? In the first post-credit scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Scorpion, played by Michael Mando, meets the Vulture, played by Michael Keaton. There, he asks him about the identity of Spider-Man, claiming to know it. His friends would like to take revenge on Spider-Man.
The Vulture denies it and walks away. Since then, the scene has never been picked up again, even though it strongly hints at the Sinister Six. This is a villainous team that regularly tries to take down Spider-Man. Depending on the story, members have included Mysterio, Dr. Octopus, the Green Goblin, Electro, and the Vulture—characters that have appeared in the MCU.
Possible Spoiler about Scorpion in the Future
Will this scene ever be picked up? As we know from set photos (via Screen Rant) for the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Michael Mando will return as Scorpion. From the initial information, it seems that the film is supposed to be more grounded, which fits him well.
A big mystery, however, is the information about his identity. Although it was erased from everyone’s minds by Dr. Strange, Michael Keaton appears again as the Vulture in the film Morbius. However, the Sony film takes place in a different universe, so it is unclear whether the Vulture will even be a relevant character.

GTA 6 has been postponed again and fans are in disbelief. But one group is suffering even more from the delay: developers and publishers who did not plan for a postponement.For some of them, this could mean significant losses.
GTA 6 has officially been postponed for a second time. The release, which was originally scheduled for May 2026, is now postponed to November 2026, a delay of half a year. The postponement has completely surprised many.
On one hand are the players and fans who have long been hoping for the release of GTA 6. And the fans are showing their disappointment over the postponement of GTA 6, disbelief, but also sarcasm. However, another group is affected even more strongly: These are developers and publishers who had counted on GTA 6 being released in May 2026.
Many studios specifically plan their own releases around the release date of GTA 6 to avoid direct competition. Players have only limited financial resources to spend on games. And an expensive release like GTA 6 particularly strains the player’s budget.
Most studios closely monitor the release calendar of industry giants and choose time slots in which no AAA releases are taking place to avoid losing attention and sales.
Some of the world’s largest publishers have already stated that Rockstar releases “pull a lot of money and especially time out of the market,” making it much harder for other games to be successful (via xda-developers.com).
The English-language magazine Forbes.com stated that some studios will ultimately have to work overtime to bring their games to market before the new GTA 6 slot, which would add additional strain on development teams and pose quality risks.
And according to Forbes, not only developers are affected by such a large postponement, but also other groups: hardware manufacturers, as players wait for GTA 6 to upgrade their systems and therefore invest no money in new hardware like gaming consoles.
GTA 6 has been officially postponed by Rockstar Games for the second time. Reactions are disappointed and incredulous. Some say: This will not be the last delay.
GTA 6 has been officially postponed a second time. The release, originally planned for May 2026, has now been postponed to November 2026, a shift of half a year. The delay has surprised many people completely.
Select a MMO video…
This is how the community reacts:On Reddit there is already a huge thread on the topic that Rockstar Games has officially postponed GTA 6. Many players are surprised, incredulous, and in a way also appalled. But the mockery prevails, with one joking: “Will GTA 7 be released before GTA 6 at this point?” And another adds: “I am convinced that the next Elder Scrolls will be released before GTA 6.”
Similarly, another user sees it:
They [the developers] shouldn’t have announced a date if they were going to keep postponing it.
And many fear that the release will be postponed even further. Some speculate that the release might be delayed even more significantly. Some are already mocking: “Can’t wait to play GTA 6 on PC in 2030”, referencing that GTA 6 should be released on PC only after consoles.
Community fears that many games could be hard hit by the delay
However, some users also say that primarily one group might be significantly affected by the delay: developers and publishers who deliberately postponed their game to fall 2026 to avoid the gigantic release. But now that is not going to happen because GTA 6 is moving into that space. Someone explains on Reddit:
Okay, the surprise came out of nowhere.
RIP to all games whose release was postponed to November 2026.
The whole postponement comes at a very inconvenient time for Rockstar Games: Because the developer is under massive criticism for poorly treating its employees. Rockstar is said to have fired dozens and there is a lot of criticism: Rockstar is under massive criticism for allegedly firing dozens of employees

How do the fans react to the news? The fans are reacting negatively to the latest postponement. Many users are posting memes that symbolize how long they have been waiting for GTA 6 and how much the latest postponement hurts.
Just recently, it became known that Rockstar Games had laid off employees because they apparently wanted to form a union. Most recently, the situation escalated to the point where the laid-off employees also called for a protest against Rockstar Games. However, it is unclear to what extent the layoffs and the turmoil surrounding the employees are related to the postponement.
With the new release date for GTA 6, the game lands in the Christmas season of 2026. This way, the game could also end up under many Christmas trees. However, the price of the action game could become a major topic, even if experts are currently reassuring: Players fear that GTA 6 could cost 100 €, experts say: That is unlikely

The YouTuber Jonas Ems is happy about the words of Twitch streamer Erik “Gronkh” Range, as he briefly talks about his TV series. This fulfills a wish of his, he says.
Who is it about? The content creator Jonas Ems started his career as a YouTuber. For years, he uploaded content on various topics, mostly with a humorous touch. At some point, he completely abandoned his usual content and devoted his YouTube channel to animal protection and educating about important societal issues.
But Jonas Ems is not only successful on the internet. In 2019, he published his novel Schattenseite, which dealt with the topic of cybercrime in a fictional scenario. The book was adapted into an ARD series of the same name with a total of 6 episodes this year. Gronkh mentioned a few words about this series, which made Jonas Ems happy.

Jonas Ems is happy: “Air Jumps”
What does Gronkh say? Gronkh was a guest on the podcast Henke’s Corner, where he talked about how he came up with the name Gronkh among other things. Henke’s Corner is part of the network funk from the public broadcasters. At the end of the podcast, the trailer for the series Schattenseite was linked and announced by the host Henke.
Gronkh then says: “Schattenseite, folks. Now click on Schattenseite.” (Source: YouTube). It may not be much, but it seemed to mean more to Jonas Ems. In his video, which he made after the clip, he says:
My inner child has just found its peace; that makes air jumps.
The YouTuber continues, saying that Gronkh is his “absolute favorite YouTuber” and means a lot to him, as he consumed a lot of content from him as a child. He still remembers how, during tough school times, he sat in front of the PC with 5-minute cups and watched a Let’s Play of Gronkh. That was his “inner peace.”
By mentioning his series Schattenseite, the Twitch streamer made him very happy and put a “smile on his face, like in old times,” says Jonas Ems.
Rockstar fired several employees and faced criticism for it. Now the affected are standing up for themselves and urging the developer of GTA 6 to comply with the law.
What circumstances were there regarding the layoffs? Industry insider Jason Schreier alleges that Rockstar fired between 30 and 40 employees when they attempted to form some sort of union.
Rockstar itself denies the allegations and states that employees were dismissed due to “gross misconduct.” The accusations are clearly rejected.
But it didn’t take long for backlash from the affected to return. The former developers have teamed up with the Independent Worker’s Union of Great Britain and other supporters to fight back.

Fired employees protest in front of the headquarters
What is this action about? The ex-employees are protesting in front of Rockstar North’s office in Edinburgh and Take-Two’s office in London. In front of the building, they raise banners, light smoke flares, and chant slogans like “Rockstar, you are disgusting.” A clip on X shows what the protest looks like.
Another affected individual, who is on X, accuses Rockstar of firing him without any warning and without any evidence. He claims he had no chance to defend himself.
Regarding the allegations that employees leaked confidential information, he says: “And all this just because I talked with colleagues in a private union chat. We leaked nothing and did not intend to harm the company.”
In a further post, signs like “Grand Theft Employment” are visible, referring to working conditions under Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). A spokesperson for Scottish Greens is also part of the movement and adds that there should be a meeting to offer the dismissed fair conditions and payments or compensation. After all, they contribute to the billion-dollar profit.
Have there been any responses from Rockstar? So far, Rockstar has not further addressed the protests. The last statement was that employees were fired due to misconduct. It remains to be seen how the case will develop and how the developer studio will respond to the allegations.
The employees at World of Warcraft, on the other hand, have achieved what the dismissed Rockstar employees could not: they have formed their own union. Why it was urgently needed is explained here by MeinMMO: 500 employees of World of Warcraft form a union – “For Azeroth!”

The Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek talked in a recent stream about potential winners for the Game of the Year 2025 (GOTY). He would prefer a shooter to win the title over a very popular RPG.
Which game does shroud see as GOTY 2025? Some contenders are lining up for this year’s GOTY. Although the official nominations are still pending, there are already clear favorites within the community. Games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Split Fiction, or Hades 2 have gained significant popularity in 2025.
Twitch streamer shroud believes that the shooter Arc Raiders, which also had a high influx of players, should win the title for Game of the Year 2025 instead of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. According to his statements, shroud wants a multiplayer game to win, as they are a “minority”. However, it remains unclear why he does not want Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to win the title.
shroud will vote for GOTY for the first time this year but simultaneously believes that award shows are manipulated anyway. His opinion is not surprising as shroud is a shooter pro and personally enjoys the game a lot.

What are the reactions to the statements? The community mostly reacts skeptically or mockingly to shroud’s opinion.

One of the developers of the Pokémon alternative Palworld, Bucky, also responded to X regarding shroud’s statement and simultaneously revealed which game he sees as GOTY: MEGABONK. Bucky posted a montage of shroud’s statement along with gameplay clips of the roguelike and wrote: “I fixed it for you, shroud”

Monster Hunter has released some incredible titles in recent years like Wilds. Many of them are now available in a bundle for Steam – and it costs less than 50 €.
What is this offer? At Humble Bundle, there is currently a bundle where you have to pay between 10.35 € and 41.41 €. Depending on how much you spend, you will receive the latest Monster Hunter games as a code for Steam:
For 10.35 €, you can get Monster Hunter Rise with the Deluxe Kit, which was released on Steam in 2022.
At 15.52 €, the associated DLC Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak with Deluxe Kit is included.
From 20.70 €, Monster Hunter World is also included, also with Deluxe Kit. It has been available on Steam since 2018.
At 25.88 €, a DLC is also added, namely Monster Hunter World: Iceborn along with Deluxe Kit.
A big step starts at 41.41 €, as here two new titles are added: Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Stories 2. Especially Stories 2 offers something, that not even Pokémon has. Additionally, there is a 30% discount for the very latest installment, Monster Hunter Wilds.
If you have only played a few Monster Hunter games so far, this could be the perfect bundle for you. But be careful: There are also significant discounts for Monster Hunter games on Steam right now.

Bundle is only worth it in certain cases
Who is the bundle worth it for? If you are interested in individual games from the series or do not necessarily need the Deluxe Kits, you should rather buy the titles directly on Steam. There is still a discount on all Monster Hunter games until November 11, 2025.
However, if you haven’t played many of the titles yet and want all the content, the Humble Bundle is just right for you. It’s best to compare first and calculate in which case the purchase would be more worthwhile.
An example: Monster Hunter Rise is available on Steam with the DLC Sunbreak for 14.99 €, in the Humble Bundle the package costs 15.52 €. Here, the Deluxe Kits are also included. You need to decide whether the digital content is worth around 50 cents to you.
Also, the bundle is worth it for those who want to get into the Monster Hunter Stories series. Because next year, Monster Hunter Stories 3 will be released, and the stories have some overlaps. But again: If you just want to get the Stories titles, you will find them cheaper on Steam!
Monster Hunter is also available on mobile with Monster Hunter Now. However, a second game is supposed to follow, which includes the typical gameplay loop of the larger games.

Pokémon Legends Z-A has only been released at the beginning of October, but you can soon dive into the next DLC. You will encounter not only new Pokémon but also, for the first time, opponents that even exceed the level cap.
What kind of DLC is this? As was already known before the release, there will also be a DLC for Pokémon Legends Z-A titled Mega Dimensions. This is set to be released on December 10, 2025.
In a new trailer, The Pokémon Company showcased what players can expect, with the biggest highlight being new challenges and a mechanics reminiscent of roguelites.

Strange portals and Pokémon that can even break the level cap
What can be seen in the trailer? The focus of the DLC is said to be the Pokémon Hoopa, which was introduced in Generation 6. Through a special ability, the mystical Pokémon opens portals in Illumina City, introducing new Pokémon into the game. You can see Alolan Marowak or Tectass, for example.
However, you cannot simply explore the portals without problems; you must create donuts that create a new wild sector. There you will find new Pokémon. Depending on the berries you use to create them, the donuts can bring different effects. The most important is time, as it seems you have a calorie count that defines how long you can stay in a portal.
There, you will also face challenging opponents, for the first time you can fight against Pokémon that are over level 100. In the trailer, the Marowak is level 164.
In this context, the trailer also showcases 2 new Mega Evolutions: one for Palimpalim and one for Espinodon. According to the official Pokémon website, players will be able to receive a stone for Mega Espinodon as a reward in ranked battles. The stone is expected to be included as a reward in Season 4. Together with the two new Raichu forms, there are currently 4 confirmed evolutions for the DLC.
As reported by the website Serebii (via x.com), another Mega Evolution is set to be revealed on November 19.
If you want to spend real money in World of Warcraft, you will soon have another opportunity. But it will be an expensive pleasure.
World of Warcraft has a few safe tricks to earn a lot of money. Not only new potential real-money currencies but also the sale of mounts with very special abilities. A mount that many WoW fans love for its features may soon return to the store. The perfect way for everyone to quickly get rid of 80 euros or to be outraged about it.

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What was found? The data miners from wowhead have discovered that a new line of code has appeared in the shop. This line contains the suspicious phrase “BrutosaurComeback”. The term “Brutosaur” is particularly suspicious because a Brutosaur has only been sold in the shop once before – namely the “Reins of the Golden Trader Brutosaur”. A mount that cost a hefty 78 € at the time, generating several million in revenue for Blizzard in just a few weeks.
Dinomount returns, but how expensive will it be?
Why is the mount so expensive? The reason is that the mount offers special functionalities. On the Trader Brutosaur, there is not only a mailbox but also direct access to the auction house – essentially from anywhere in the world. Such a mount previously existed in the game for gold. However, the source of the old Caravan Brutosaur has been removed, and now it is only occasionally available in the black market auction house – for the ridiculous price of “Goldcap”, that is 10,000,000 gold.
Anyone who missed the Caravan Brutosaur can buy an alternative. Soon.
Considering this, a price of 80 € is still comparatively cheap for a mount that otherwise costs millions of gold coins – because those would, when converted to real money, cost much more.
When exactly the mount will return to the shop is still uncertain. Perhaps it will coincide with housing, which is also starting in a few weeks.
Ultimately, every player will have to decide for themselves whether to spend money on this mount when it becomes available again. Because even if one does not have the mount – as a rule, the next auction house is only a hearthstone away. The advantage with this mount is present but is rather minimal. Especially since it suffices for just one member in the raid or group to own the mount – because then one can also enjoy the services of the NPCs.
For years, users of the Steam Deck have requested a long-awaited feature. Finally, the players’ prayers were answered when Valve’s CEO fulfilled their wish just days after his birthday.
What feature is it about? Steam brings the function of “Screen-Off Downloads” in the new beta update. This allows downloading games while the Steam Deck’s screen is off. After the downloads are complete, the device automatically goes into sleep mode. This not only saves battery but also helps the longevity of the device.
Especially the OLED models could benefit from the update. OLED screens can develop “burn-in” over long periods with static images. This represents damage to the display that occurs particularly in OLEDs: static elements like menus become permanently visible and impair the display. You can find more about this in the following article on GameStar.de.
LCD variants of the Steam Deck also benefit from the feature. The saved battery life of about 50 percent during downloads and practical application have been confirmed in our self-test.
A user also asked Valve if they could bequeath their Steam account:
Activation and Settings of the Download Feature
How do I get the update from Valve? The developer has currently only released the update in the beta channel. The update might therefore still contain bugs, which is why you might wait for the official release. However, if you still want to install the update, proceed as follows:
Press the “Steam Button,” then “System,” and select “Beta” under “Channel: System Updates.”
The Steam Deck will then restart.
Then go back to “System” and install the update. All beta updates from 05.11.2025 should include the feature.
Why does the community want this function? Long download times are annoying, and keeping the Steam Deck’s screen active or reducing the brightness to a minimum is impractical for long download times. It wastes unnecessary battery, even though the screen does not need to be on. Therefore, users have long demanded a solution to their problems.
Additionally, the handheld had to be used repeatedly before the update; otherwise, the Steam Deck would default to sleep mode after five minutes, pausing all downloads.
How does the community react to the announcement? Valve’s founder and community favorite Gabe Newell had his birthday on 03.11.2025, and shortly thereafter, the long-awaited update was released. For many, it is clear that the birthday and the update must be connected.
In the current season 7 vs. Wild, there was a theft by the participants. Now the responsible candidate explains the consequences and how it happened.
Attention: This article contains minor spoilers for 7 vs. Wild Amazonas Episode 1 – 7
What kind of theft is this? In one of the early episodes of 7 vs. Wild Amazonas, the participants found an abandoned bucket along with nets for fishing during their exploration in the jungle. They decided to take it and use it for their purposes.
However, this was neither allowed nor right: the production clearly indicates in the scene that the candidates would be violating the rules and actually stealing the equipment of the indigenous people. Nevertheless, the participants made their decision accordingly, and since 7 vs. Wild is a black box, the production could not intervene.
Now David Leichtle, who found the net in the show and took it, has spoken on the subject and explained how it went from his perspective.
The biggest successes in fishing so far were achieved by Jens “Knossi” Knossalla in Season 3 of 7 vs. Wild:

Misunderstandings and Correct Actions
How does Leichtle see the situation? In an interview with Schwaebische.de, the participant explains that, contrary to the production’s displays, they were not forbidden to use found objects. He had also asked this multiple times. It was only forbidden to interact with other people; in that case, the candidates should turn back and leave them alone.
Accordingly, he also criticizes that the action with the fishing net is represented as theft against the participants and especially against him. They simply borrowed the net, which for him was also not against the rules.
However, he also understands that due to the displays and the context, the viewers are understandably angry. Thus, the survival pro also expresses regret in the interview and states that he feels sorry for the indigenous person whose equipment was taken. Nevertheless, as he explains, he is a pragmatist and the net was, in the context of the survival situation, an extremely useful item.
What happened to the equipment? After the end of 7 vs. Wild, the participants informed the production that they would like to return the equipment. However, they had already seen the situation on the participants’ memory cards and replaced the net during the filming. In the end, there was no damage to the inhabitants of the rainforest.
After the great success of Demon Slayer, the new anime movie of Chainsaw Man is also doing quite well. And rightly so, as MeinMMO editor Niko was thrilled because the action anime offers something rarely seen in the Shōnen genre.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc continues the first season of the anime from 2022, but this time in theaters. I liked the first season, which was wonderfully quirky and also provided good action sequences. Exactly that is what I expected from the new movie: Some childish humor, exciting fights, and strange characters.
The movie contains all of that. Still, I was quite surprised because the action anime spends a lot of time on something that is usually neglected in other Shōnen works.
Start video
Chainsaw Man: Der Trailer zum Film zeigt Denjis Romanze mit Reze
Finally a credible love story in an action anime
What makes the movie so good? As in the first season, the main character Denji talks a lot about love and that he would do anything for his boss Makima. But suddenly he meets Reze. She is not only the same age as Denji, she laughs at his nonsense and even makes such jokes herself.
The two get closer, and a love story develops that touched me because it is surprisingly respectful. The series often plays with vulgar language and also revealing outfits and dreams, but during the dates of Denji and Reze, none of that occurs. It is simply romantic and even believable. Kensuke Ushio’s soundtrack perfectly complements it. in the pool I listen to every day since I saw the movie.
Now, one could argue that you don’t need any love stuff in an action anime, but in Chainsaw Man, it works damn well. Denji has had nothing his whole life, but suddenly he receives love. That worked particularly well for me because it is woven into the story without taking the cheapest path for emotions: flashbacks.
In this respect, the other anime cinema hit of 2025 has it down well: Demon Slayer. Don’t get me wrong, I like Demon Slayer, but flashbacks are the most clumsy way to build emotions. Oh, the nasty demon was killed, let’s run a sad flashback. By the way, One Piece is also quite good at this.
The problem with flashbacks is that they interrupt the current story. The flow and pacing go awry, and if done too often, characters do not become independent characters but mere products of a flashback. Yes, I find them sad too, but I always feel manipulated.
Chainsaw Man does this much better: It trusts its characters to operate without a sad backstory. This made the twist at the end and the spectacular fights more effective. I feel for the current characters, not for those they once were in the past.
Denji is, despite his nature, a profoundly human character (Image source: MAPPA on YouTube)
An action fest, especially in theaters
But what about the action? In short: it is a true feast. Even though it annoys me that anime series are continued in theaters, sitting in the cinema and watching well-animated fighters go at each other on a gigantic screen makes me forget everything.
The action in the movie of Chainsaw Man is well-choreographed, absurdly wild, and at the same time brutal. This is a nice contrast to the silly or emotional moments. As mentioned before, the action also benefits from the love story. The movie finds a nice balance between both aspects.
I also found the diversity of ideas in the fight amazing. Instead of simply spamming the strongest attacks, interesting ways have been found to showcase and utilize the characters’ abilities. This is not only visually fun; you enjoy quirky combinations.
I can only recommend Chainsaw Man to everyone. After the new movie, I immediately consumed the next manga chapters and was thrilled. The series plays with classic Shōnen clichés and manages to create something exciting even from completely silly characters. It is simply different from series like One Piece, Demon Slayer, or Naruto, and those who have been anime fans for a long time will also enjoy a lot here.
And the success of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc shows that the series works despite its unusual story and characters. According to Dexerto, the production costs are said to have been around 4 million US dollars (approx. 3.5 million euros). Currently, worldwide earnings stand at over 140 million US dollars (approx. 120 million euros) according to IMDb. Thus, the movie is already quite a big success.
We can only hope that we won’t have to wait another 3 years for a new movie or a new season because Chainsaw Man deserves all the hype.

After that, you will receive a QR code that you must scan with your phone. Now you need to watch a video and afterwards receive your promo code.
How do I redeem the code? Once you have received the code, you can redeem it in the Pokémon GO webstore. Afterwards, you will receive the particles in the game. If they don’t appear immediately, wait a few minutes or try closing the game and reopening it.
How long do I have to receive the code? The quest on Discord ends on November 17, 2025. By then, you need to have picked it up and watched the video. It is not known whether the code can only be redeemed until then.
Why is the quest not working? Some trainers report on Reddit that they are having a hard time receiving and completing the quest. MeinMMO author Paul Kutzner is currently experiencing issues with it as well. After scanning the QR code, he can neither see nor complete the quest on his phone.
What the cause is and whether the error will be fixed for the affected trainers is currently unknown.
While promo codes are released in irregular intervals in Pokémon GO, there are regularly new events, raids, and additional content. What those will be in the near future and when they will take place, you can find out in our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Players of Dungeons & Dragons are known to get extremely creative – especially when it comes to interpreting rules to their advantage. Many years ago, some fans took it to the extreme, and the meme has remained prevalent in the community to this day.
What kind of weapon is this? It’s the “Peasant Railgun,” a thought experiment that supposedly appeared around 2008 on 1d4chan, a (not-so-serious) wiki about all things tabletop. The entry on its successor 1d6chan still exists today.
This “weapon,” which is really just a combination of several rules, can theoretically deal infinite damage. It is therefore stronger than the most powerful spells in Dungeons & Dragons and only requires any weighted object… and many NPCs.
How does the “Peasant Railgun” work? The idea behind this “weapon” is quite simple: You line up some peasants, in this case 2,280 of them, in a row. Through the “Ready Action” rule, they then pass an object – here a stick from a disassembled ladder – forward:
Since a round of play always lasts 6 seconds, the time in which all of this can happen is limited.
The 2,280 peasants pass the wooden stick, which is technically considered an improvised spear, forward within 6 seconds across the entire distance.
A peasant as a Medium creature occupies 5 feet or 1.5 meters of space according to the rules (back then it was still the 3.5 ruleset).
Some math then results in 3,420 meters in 6 seconds, or 570 m/s (or 2,052 km/h). For comparison: The speed of sound in air is about 331.5 m/s.
The Railgun then takes another rule into account: falling damage. Objects in D&D deal damage based on weight and distance traveled, one reason why thick owl bears in Baldur’s Gate 3 are so OP.
A wooden stick of the appropriate length weighs about 7 pounds, or 3.2 kg. According to the rules, an object weighing between 5-9 pounds per 60 feet traveled deals 2d6 damage – which in this example results in 300d6, or between 300 and 1,800 damage points.

“Use rules selectively and ignore them elsewhere”
The “Peasant Railgun” has consistently sparked discussions in the community since the original thought experiment, as the interpretation of the rules sounds coherent.
However, the Railgun only works if you interpret the rules in a way that suits you. Because the idea mixes real-world physics with rules from a fantasy world with magic. If one were to proceed strictly, it wouldn’t work out as well:
If you want to utilize kinetic energy, the stick would need to be treated as a physical object. Thus, the peasants would not be able to grab the “spear” quickly enough.
Even if they managed to do it, there would be friction energy that would kill them. Peasants generally have about 4 hit points.
The rules also spoil the party here: “Ready Action” requires another action, but happens before that action. Passing something forward thus only works with tricks.
And even if that is somehow achieved, the damage in the end would merely be a throw of an improvised weapon with 1d6+Strength, which isn’t much for peasants… assuming they even hit.
This strange weapon only works as long as the written rules override physical laws – until the physical laws should override the written rules.
By the way: In the new 5e rules of 2024, the Railgun was explicitly used as an example for DMs to show what ideas should not be allowed and that rules should not suspend physics (via dungeonsanddragonsfan).
The discussion around the “Peasant Railgun” still arises repeatedly, just like the meme itself – most recently with an idea for a “Tommy Lee Jones” rule (on Reddit). A popular argument among many players against the weapon is: “Cool idea! Your group sees 2,000 enemy goblins lining up and passing a wooden stick forward…”
That said, the whole thing is highly inefficient. If you just handed all the peasants a bow, more damage would come from it, even if only a quarter of them hit.
As it is with memes, the idea of the railgun has of course crossed the boundaries of the franchise and has a dedicated section for the weapon in Warhammer 40,000 on 1d6chan. Because there, the situation looks quite different.
Battlefield 6 managed to excite many fans for the shooter series at its release, but some problems overshadow the fun for the community. Therefore, the chief producer reached out to the players themselves and encouraged them to share their feelings.
What were fans encouraged to do? The lead producer of Battlefield 6, David Sirland, returned from his vacation. In a post on X, the chief reached out to the fans and explained that he had looked into all issues and had also played Battlefield 6 himself to better understand the community.
Aside from the known issues, Sirland now wants to know from you what else is bothering you that the studio might have overlooked. Therefore, in less than 12 hours, over 2000 comments flooded the chief’s post. Sirland even interacted personally with many suggestions and discussed with the fans.

Chief Producer takes time for your questions
What answers could fans obtain? There were several important points regarding bots, the server browser, and the drone exploit and hammer.
As for the bots, there is an important reason why they are present on various servers. They help to facilitate matchmaking. Waiting times are drastically reduced as rounds can start much faster.
If additional players want to join the server later, the bots are gradually removed from the round. Many do not like the bots, as they disrupt immersion due to their lack of intelligence. However, Sirland makes it clear that without the bots, the alternative would be to have no servers at all (Source: x.com).
The second point was the server browser. This leaves much to be desired, as Portal is currently flooded with countless XP modes, and official modes are getting lost. Sirland admits that the search is not currently optimal. The team is aware of this and is working to make the server browser clearer (Source: x.com).
Lastly, there was an update regarding the drone exploit, as it causes unplayable rounds. Sirland confirms that this issue will be fixed in the next patch. When this will happen will be officially communicated later (Source: x.com).
Of course, there were other issues that were addressed, but it would be too much to list them all. If you want to know what else the community has shared with the chief producer, feel free to check out the linked X post.
While the responsible parties at Amazon only began their major assault on the gaming industry around 2014, they had intended to be much more than “just” a major developer and publisher of AAA service games for years prior.
If you think back to the beginning of the major assault, you probably remember TwitchCon 2016. Because here, Amazon Games presented three ambitious projects: New World, the sports brawler Breakaway, and the hero shooter Crucible, all of which were clearly different from the mobile and social games they had previously made.
But you may also recall the time starting in 2014 when the tech giant acquired the studio Double Helix Games to form Amazon Game Studios Orange County (which later worked on New World and the Lord of the Rings MMO, among others).
During this time, they also hired many veteran developers, such as Kim Swift (Portal, Left4Dead) and Clint Hocking (Far Cry 2), who were reportedly paid significantly better than at the competition. And then, in August 2014, there was also the acquisition of Twitch for $970 million as well as the licensing of the Lumberyard engine in 2015. Amazon Games clearly had a plan.

Amazon wollte Big Player für Games sein – Das Ende von New World vervollständigt eine traurige Geschichte des Scheiterns
From the very beginning, Amazon aimed for the throne
But did you know that Amazon set the plan for world domination in gaming years prior and aimed to topple the king of kings from the throne? Yes, they had their sights set on Steam and thus the currently most successful PC platform for games, which has truly been unavoidable for many, many years.
Ethan Evans, the former Vice President of Prime Gaming, looks back on this time at linkedin.com.
As Vice President of Prime Gaming at Amazon, I can tell you that we tried multiple times to displace the gaming platform Steam, but we failed. We were at least 250 times bigger and tried everything. But in the end, Goliath lost.
The more than 15-year-long attempt to challenge Steam began well before I became Vice President of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Neither under my leadership nor under the leadership of anyone else.
What attempts did Amazon make to achieve its goal? According to Evans, the undertaking began with the acquisition of Reflexive Entertainment in October 2008, which not only developed games but also had its own store. They wanted to expand this to compete with Steam long-term. Evans: “That led to nothing.”
Amazon also had high hopes for acquiring Twitch. The thought behind it: If the streaming platform is linked to an Amazon store, all the players are sure to buy their games there after watching gameplay on Twitch. The former Vice President: “That was wrong.”
In the third step, Amazon developed the streaming service Luna, which allows you to play games even if you don’t have a high-end PC at home. Google tried something similar with Stadia almost simultaneously. However, both tech giants had to concede defeat to Steam. Stadia did not survive this battle. At least Luna has.
Google Stadia was clearly positioned as a competitor to PS4 and Xbox One.
What makes Steam so unassailable?
Ethan Evans attributes Amazon’s failure to the fact that they simply underestimated and did not fully understand Steam.
The mistake was that we underestimated why consumers used Steam. It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy collection in one. And it worked well.
At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits. We never validated our core assumptions before massively investing in solutions.
The truth is that gamers already had solutions to their problems and would not simply switch to a new platform just because there was a new one.
Ethan Evans admits in his long post that they burned an incredible amount of money trying to displace Steam without properly and sufficiently addressing the target audience and market conditions beforehand.
Interest in games? No, but in money!
How does MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz assess this? When I read through Ethan Evans’s remarks and look back at the entire track record of Amazon Games, it seems quite certain to me that the top decision-makers never truly had an interest in developing good games and achieving financial success in this way.
The focus has always been on synergies: Twitch turns spectators into players, who then obtain new games in the Amazon shop and finally play them on a platform or through a service from Amazon. An ecosystem that no one ever has to leave. A brave new world.
First watch Twitch, then play yourself … that was the plan.
The games produced as developers and those managed as a publisher are merely a means to an end: They should ideally be so closely linked with their own platforms and services that they lure players into the aforementioned ecosystem. And since Amazon Games has been chasing the currently trendy service genres right from the get-go, there might be a need to respect the Amazon Games team for managing to develop a game like New World that could build a loyal fan base and even excite players for a time.
Microsoft has been doing something similar for many years as well. However, the tech giant under Satya Nadella has spent significantly more money than Amazon to establish itself as a console provider alongside Sony and Nintendo and gather countless new first-party studios within the Xbox family.
Microsoft’s top goal: to continuously feed the Xbox Game Pass with its own games so that as many gamers as possible sign up for a subscription. Due to the enormous investments, the many experienced studios, a broad portfolio of brands, and a certain freedom of action for the various teams, Microsoft’s balance sheet is significantly more positive than that of Amazon Games. But that took many years … and Steam could not be displaced even by Game Pass.

In ARC Raiders, a new movement has formed that is currently gaining more and more traction. As self-proclaimed sheriffs, the players are fighting for good against the nasty robots and killers in the game.
What kind of movement is this? In ARC Raiders, players are free to interact with others as they choose. Only the evil robots of the ARC are directly hostile to the Raiders.
It has developed so that players, unlike in comparable shooters, are particularly friendly and peaceful towards other players. Out of this disposition, a kind of movement has now formed: The Sheriffs.

The Good Samaritans of ARC Raiders
What distinguishes a sheriff? The new movement of the good in ARC Raiders is currently gaining significant popularity. One of them explains on Reddit what it means to be a sheriff.
You are not alone.
I have found my niche. I have found my purpose. I have found the meaning of Raider life.
Life as a lone sheriff. It is not easy to kill a person. You take everything they have and everything they could have had.
I jump in. I listen for sounds, gunshots, flares. I assess the situation. I am here to help, to fight against the Arcs. All Arcs. I will pick you up, tend to your wounds. I kill murderers, just like Judge Dredd. Without mercy. I have never killed a person who did not deserve it.
As a sheriff, one tries to bring order to the chaos of ARC Raiders. In doing so, one helps peaceful Raiders during the game and confronts the villains and the ARC, which hold the surface of the Earth occupied.
How does one become a sheriff? To become one of the good, there is no application process; you simply do it through your attitude in the game. Helping others, fighting against evil, and aiding humanity. Whoever represents these values automatically becomes a sheriff, but there are also problems with the good Samaritans.
How do the sheriffs get along? Many gamers are pleased that the typical “I shoot everything” play style has not established itself in ARC Raiders. Especially in single-player mode, there are many players who prefer to avoid fights. But sometimes problems arise here too due to the sheriffs.
User Isaacvithurston recounts on Reddit that he was attacked by a villain, and after defending himself, was additionally attacked by a sheriff who believed the victim was the perpetrator.
Similarly, user TurdPhysics writes on Reddit: “This is so funny, man. I was just hunting Sentinels with some cheap gear when a Raider came from behind and opened fire. I took him out, got shot in the back, and took cover to heal. I hear the third one say: ‘Don’t give up! Don’t give up! I’ve got you! Let’s get him.’ They take me out, and Sheriff Whitey Knighty starts insulting me with the usual shooter console phrases. I respond with ‘Your buddy shot at me first, man,’ just as the first Raider opens fire on his rescuer. Incredible vigilante scenario.”
The superheroes of Marvel are not only active in comics, movies and series: They have also made numerous appearances in video games. MeinMMO shows you some of the best from the last few years in this list.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021)

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the winners of the Game Awards in 2021
What kind of game is this? Guardians of the Galaxy was released in 2021 and puts you in the role of Star-Lord. As Peter Quill, you take the lead of the Guardians and rush through a pretty exciting, funny, and thrilling single-player story. The game offers plenty of fights where you also command the other Guardians: Drax, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket.
If you liked the movies, you will feel very comfortable here too, even though the game is not related to them and tells its own story. Especially the “Huddle” moments, where you rally your team in battle, crank up the Walkman, and mow down enemies to explosive 80s music, are some of the highlights in the gameplay. Most impressively, the game shines with a lot of heart: The interactions between the Guardians are a lot of fun, and you truly feel like a part of the team.
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy may not have received the attention it deserved at release. However, for many fans, it is now a very popular entry in Marvel games history.
