The announced end of New World drives away so many players on Steam that the developers have to respond

Cedric Holmeier 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of New World must respond to the dwindling player numbers and do so long before the MMORPG is even shut down.

What is the status of New World? After Amazon Games Studios decided to end the development of their own MMORPG due to significant layoffs, New World immediately lost many players. In our survey, only a small portion still wanted to play the MMORPG further.

It looks similar on Steam, as player numbers plummeted sharply after the announcement. So much so that the developers now need to respond with a change.

Here you can see a video about the end of New World:

Server mergers due to player decline

What measures are the developers taking now? The developers of New World have looked at the new reality of lower player numbers and made the decision to merge several servers. They announce the following mergers on X.com:

Saba → Aries (EU)
Fae → Nysa (EU)
Harmonia → Bifrost (EU)
Empi → Valhalla (US-East)
Hudsonland → Pangea (US-East)

The mergers will take place on November 6, 2025, at 7:00 PM in Germany. Those who have an account or character on one of the affected servers do not need to do anything and will be automatically moved with all their belongings.

Those who prefer to switch to a different server than the one mentioned can still do so until the automatic server merge.

Why are there still server mergers at all? While New World is already considered dead by many, the developers plan to keep the MMORPG running throughout 2026. Although there will be no new updates from the developers, the MMORPG will remain playable at least until January 1, 2027.

When exactly New World will be shut down remains unclear. The developers have only guaranteed 2026; theoretically, continued operation in 2027 is also possible, albeit unlikely.

Without new updates, New World will likely have no significant future, even though players can still enjoy the MMORPG for over a year. At least, due to the server mergers, there will probably still be enough other players to find.

It is also conceivable that the developers will carry out further mergers throughout 2026 if player numbers continue to decline. In another MMORPG, players do not wait for developers to provide new content: A player from a popular MMORPG wants to eat 500,000 fish, but the community believes he just wants to become rich

An ancient being from The Lord of the Rings was so convinced of its strength that it drove enemies away with its laughter

Christoph Waldboth 4. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The universe of The Lord of the Rings is full of exciting characters. Among them is a warrior who lived long before the events of the movies and brought the greatest villain from Middle-earth to his knees.

Who is meant? Among all the powerful and mysterious beings that populated the world of Arda and the continent of Middle-earth over time, Tulkas is a particularly impressive example.

He was also known as “Astalda, the Valiant” and originally did not come from Arda. He belonged to the Valar, the highest of the Ainur, who were ancient beings. They were created by the god of Tolkien’s cosmos, Ilúvatar, or rather from his thoughts.

Other well-known Ainur included Manwë, who was also called “King of the World.” Or Gandalf and Melkor, who later becomes Morgoth and plays an important role in the story of Tulkas.

Like the other Ainur, Tulkas lived away from Arda for a long time. Gradually, these beings made their way to Arda to support the world in the fight against the mighty Melkor. Tulkas was the last of them to take this path. He would have done well to hurry to help as he was very powerful.

His qualities as a fighter were legendary, and he was among the best that the Ainur had to offer in this regard.

Laughing in the face of the enemy

What happened to Tulkas in Arda? The Ainur knew that Melkor must be stopped. He was a passionate fighter, preferring unarmed combat. In fact, he only confronted his opponents with his fists. However, he did not do so randomly or maliciously but always used his superhuman powers wisely.

So it was in the case of Melkor: Tulkas faced the great villain. His booming laughter, which the warrior loved to use in battle, made Melkor flee. He realized that the Ainur was too strong for him. Thus, the world was saved for the time being.

This marked the beginning of the so-called “Spring of Arda,” which was illuminated by two great lights, called “The Luminaries.” There was finally peace, but it was only temporary. In the meantime, Tulkas married his wife Nessa.

Eventually, Melkor returned and destroyed the two Luminaries. As a result, darkness returned to Arda. The Ainur Manwë decided in a meeting of like-minded individuals that Melkor must now finally be stopped.

Tulkas welcomed this decision and plunged into battle once again. He encountered the great villain and a fierce duel began. In the end, however, Tulkas prevailed and managed to bind Melkor with the chain Angainor. Thus, evil had been thwarted once again. Melkor spent three entire ages in captivity. But even that came to an end…

What happened next? They decided to finally release Melkor, hoping that he would improve. However, Tulkas was highly skeptical and did not trust the enemy. He was proven right: Shortly thereafter, Melkor stole the Silmaril, three gemstones enclosing the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. These trees illuminated Arda after the Luminaries had been destroyed long before.

Thus, the Two Trees also perished, and once again darkness enveloped Arda. Tulkas did his best to hunt down the old enemy again, but the darkness that now prevailed made it impossible for him to find Melkor. The mighty warrior had to be content to live in Valinor on Arda and defend it against the forces of evil.

Unfortunately, in the end, he was unable to stop Melkor. The villain ultimately became Morgoth, the lord of evil, and included Sauron among his servants. And as for what happened to this individual, fans of The Lord of the Rings have known for a long time. More about Melkor can be found on MeinMMO: The true villain in the “The Lord of the Rings” universe is much more powerful and dangerous than Sauron

2 German shooters paved the way for the success of ARC Raiders, but only one of them is still alive today

Benedict Grothaus 4. November 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

ARC Raiders is currently a huge hit on Steam: strong ratings, hundreds of thousands of players. The breakthrough is not coincidental and parts of the success secret have previously been delivered by two games from Germany – with more or less success.

[toc]

Already on the release day, ARC Raiders attracted over 200,000 players on Steam and was directly in the top 5 of the most played games. The player numbers grew even further: over 354,000 players were playing simultaneously on Sunday and even after the weekend there were still over 322,000 together (according to SteamDB).

With 88% positive ratings from 1,600 reviews, the game is rated “very positive”. The success even overloads the servers: there are wait times, but at least you will be compensated for it.

On Reddit and in the Steam forums, praise for the game is piling up – however, discussions also keep arising about where the hype actually comes from. After all, ARC Raiders, as an extraction shooter, is an odd hit in a genre that is otherwise little heard of.

And indeed, the very things that make ARC Raiders so good have previously existed in extraction shooters. Only ARC Raiders has perfected them.

A game that knows exactly what it wants to be – and what it doesn’t

The YouTuber and Twitch streamer JesseKazam analyzes the success of ARC Raiders in his video. He emphasizes not only that the game is finished but especially that it follows a vision.

Other games of the genre have often simply tried to copy Escape from Tarkov. Studios see the success of the shooter and want a piece of the pie without really recognizing what has contributed to greatness. The result is half-baked experiments like Call of Duty DMZ or Battlefield Hazard Zone.

ARC Raiders, on the other hand, has tried to create its own vision of an extraction shooter:

Everyone seems to think that to make [an extraction shooter] work, it has to be like Tarkov. We didn’t really have a game that understood the core of the extraction shooter genre. One that took the time to analyze why this genre is so fun and addictive, and then makes something completely new with the thought of catering to those core principles – until now.
JesseKazam on YouTube, around minute 4:15

Not quite the first extraction shooter with its own vision

However, there was already a game from Germany that approached the genre in exactly this way: Hunt: Showdown. Instead of making a realistic shooter in a modern setting with human opponents (like all the others), it’s about fighting against voodoo monsters somewhere in the swamp of Louisiana in the 19th century.

There is a good shooter from Germany on Steam, but players are now saying: ‘This is no longer Hunt’

Microsoft has bought so many graphics cards for AI that it is now facing a big problem

The German studio Crytek from Frankfurt uses many elements of the genre and has implemented them with its own ideas:

Instead of collecting heaps of loot, there are bounties on monsters that can be collected and rewarded with money.
Upon death, not only purchased weapons but also the character is lost – the bounty hunters are basically part of the loadout.
Every fight against PvE opponents is a danger because the sound carries so far that half the map can be alerted by a single shot or flying ravens.

However, Hunt: Showdown has distinguished itself so strongly with its ideas that some fans already see it as an exception in the genre, less as a “part” of it.

Nevertheless, the vision shows success: the game still regularly attracts tens of thousands of players solely on Steam and runs on PS4, PS5, Xbox, and through GeForce Now – and this has been the case since 2018. By the end of 2024, the game had a record of 60,000 players concurrently on Steam alone.

While Fortnite attracts almost 3 million players simultaneously with the Simpsons skins, players of Call of Duty ask: Why are we acting like this?

Karsten Scholz 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On November 14, 2025, the new installment for the Call of Duty universe will be released with Black Ops 7. A topic that has been hotly debated in the community for months: the design of the skins that players can earn in the new online shooter. Currently, the Simpsons are fueling the fire of the controversy.

What’s up with the Simpsons? Well, the likeable family from Springfield is in the spotlight of the new season of Fortnite. Until November 29, fans of the battle royale shooter can dive into survival battles on a new map and earn all sorts of quirky skins for their own accounts (or buy them in the shop).

Included: a Bart Simpson bundle, Homer’s car, battle pass skins for the key characters, and much more. This seems to be well-received. According to the well-known Fortnite leaker Shiina, there were more than 2.6 million players online simultaneously in the shooter on November 2, 2025 (Source: X). The website tracker.gg even shows a peak of almost 2.9 million simultaneously active players on November 3.

For comparison: The most popular game on Steam is known to be Counter-Strike 2, where only “around” 1.4 million players were online simultaneously in the peak hours in the past 24 hours (Source: steamdb.info).

Target audience “Fortnite players”?

What does this have to do with Call of Duty? The player Lumenprotoplasma takes the current success of the Simpsons season as an opportunity to bring up the already hotly debated topic of cosmetic skins again in the Call of Duty Reddit area.

His question to the community: “Why do skins in Call of Duty only create negativity while they are breaking records in other games?” This question has already garnered over 1,100 upvotes and more than 680 comments.

Spiritual_Bird5970 expressed a clear opinion on Reddit: “Because Call of Duty is supposed to be a military game, and Fortnite was made to offer these skins.”
RuggedTheDragon adds on Reddit: “Because people believe that Call of Duty must maintain an identity, namely that of a military simulation. The same goes for Battlefield. Fortnite has always taken a somewhat silly approach to cosmetic items, which is why no one complains about it.”
USS_Massachusetts points out on Reddit: “If I had to guess, I would say it’s either because Fortnite is not a serious game and all skins have become part of the gimmick. Or because CoD added such skins to appeal to the Fortnite audience, ruining the original military sim feel. So I think it’s less about the skins themselves being the problem but rather the environment in which they occur.”
SamShakusky71 expresses on Reddit another idea as to why skins for Call of Duty have historically been very little military/authentic: “The fact is that an overwhelming majority of CoD players buy them, and the revenues are considerable.”

What does Activision plan for Black Ops 7? Already in August, the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 commented on the topic and promised that the new installment should feel “authentic” – which is why they want to be more cautious with the offering of skins than in the past.

An unfortunate but necessary measure to ensure the targeted authenticity: Players of Black Ops 6 will not be able to carry over their purchased or earned skins to Part 7. You can find all the information about this here: Call of Duty finally wants the skins to look authentic again, doing it in a way that could upset some players

If you want to install Windows 11, you should be particularly careful: Developer warns of fake download sites

Claudio Niggenkemper 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A popular tool that is supposed to bypass the restrictions for upgrading to Windows 11 is now being offered for download through a fake site – users risk malware on their PC.

What exactly happened? A developer of the official tool FlyOOBE (formerly “Flyby11”) warns that a seemingly identical version is being offered on an unofficial website that is not associated with the project (via Toms Hardware).

The official GitHub page of FlyOOBE points out that a domain (“flyoobe.net”) with an unauthorized build exists – and this could be equipped with malware, backdoors, or other harmful software (via GitHub). The download should therefore only be obtained from the official GitHub page.

Basically, there is also another possibility that you can install Windows 11 on a system for which it is not officially intended.

In both variants, the advantage is that you do not have to buy new hardware or switch the operating system. Therefore, there are no costs involved.

Note: Bypassing officially established upgrade requirements and installing so-called “bypass tools” (e.g. FlyOOBE) can lead to problems and is always done at your own risk.

Start video

Autoplay

Which tool is it and what can it do? FlyOOBE is a free open-source tool by the developer “builtbybel” that allows users to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 even if the hardware does not actually meet Microsoft’s official requirements.

According to CHIP.de, the tool belongs to a new generation of tools that specifically bypass Microsoft’s strict security checks during the installation process. For many users, three points are particularly problematic:

No TPM 2.0 module (hardware security module) installed,
Secure Boot is not activated or not available,
Processor not on Microsoft’s official compatibility list.

FlyOOBE is the successor to the previous version Flyby11 and offers a simple solution: It integrates into the Windows setup and systematically removes the hardware checks. This allows installation even on older PCs.

Additionally, Windows 11 can now also be customized to individual needs. This is also where the name “OOBE” comes from, as it is Microsoft’s abbreviation for “out of the box experience”, which is what you see when you first start a newly installed Windows (via microsoft).

Certain settings in ARC Raiders can give you an unfair advantage if you sacrifice something

Ody 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

If you don’t care about good graphics, you can easily gain an unfair advantage in ARC Raiders on PC without using real cheats.

What would you have to sacrifice? Mainly the game’s nice graphics. If you’re playing ARC Raiders on PC, you can adjust the game’s graphics settings as you like. MeinMMO has found the best settings for ARC Raiders on PC for you. Adjusting the graphics can bring an unwanted gameplay advantage.

As a player’s post on Reddit shows, the difference between the lowest and highest presets is quite large – at the lowest setting, entire grass areas, bushes, and even trees disappear.

Better visibility with poor graphics

What advantage can one gain in this way? Players might use the vegetation as cover. This works less well when parts of it simply disappear. Especially since ARC Raiders focuses on PvP, this can mean a real advantage over other players.

Those playing ARC Raiders on the lowest settings see other players more easily than someone playing on higher settings. While this is not a cheat in the traditional sense, as no external software is used and nothing in the game files is changed, it could still be problematic, say players.

“This difference and advantage is completly unacceptable in an extract shooter,” says Reddit user Jaz1140 in his post. He further explains: “To have rocks and cover disappear and the player can be seen behind them but not be shot, is so stupid.”

Players demand solutions while celebrating nice graphics

How could the issue be resolved? The poster of the post has a proposed solution. He says: “At the distance in this video [that is included in the post] where all bushes and foliage disappears, then player models should also disappear.”

Another user comments: “It bothers me that low quality settings don’t “reduce quality” of objects. They reduce the NUMBER of objects.” (Reddit) Another option would therefore be to keep the number of objects consistent across all settings.

How big is the problem? The Reddit post has over 2,600 upvotes, so it finds great resonance in this part of the community. However, many players also say they do not want to compromise on graphics to gain an advantage in the game. After all, the game is simply too beautiful.

“I can’t bring myself to lower it cause the game just looks too good.” (Cxncept on Reddit)
“The game looks way too good, I couldn’t care less about advantage or min-maxing. It’s just FUN to play this game.” (ThinkingTanking on Reddit)

Developer of Palworld praises ARC Raiders on Steam, believes it is the new benchmark for games using the Unreal Engine

Cedric Holmeier 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

With ARC Raiders, a new shooter has landed on Steam, which is currently receiving praise not only for its fun gameplay but also for its technology. This praise is now joined by a well-known developer from Palworld.

How is ARC Raiders performing? The new extraction shooter ARC Raiders is currently celebrating its success on Steam. According to Gamereactor.eu, the new shooter has sold more than 1.5 million copies within 3 days. This success is attributed not only to the good gameplay but also to the technically solid launch of the game.

There were hardly any lags or performance drops, which are usually expected from players on the Unreal Engine 5. Due to the influx, which likely surprised the developers a bit, they had to impose a small waiting time on the servers, but no overload resulted from it. This was positively noted as well.

The fact that ARC Raiders runs so smoothly has now been noticed by players, but also by a well-known developer from Palworld.

Here you can see important tips:

Strong technology in ARC Raiders

What does the Palworld developer say? Communications Director and Publishing Manager “Bucky” praised the work of the developers of ARC Raiders in a post on X.com. For him, the shooter is the “most technologically impressive game [he] has played this year.”

He further states: “Nowadays it is trendy to dismiss games as ‘ugh, UE trash’ because it is ‘in’ to blame the engine, but Arc Raiders could be the new benchmark for UE development. I am impressed by what they have achieved.”

Players are also celebrating the good performance of ARC Raiders on Reddit. For example, user DunkBird writes: “As a developer, I have no idea how the game can only be 30 GB in size. With that and with ‘The Finals’, Embark may have the best technical developers of all shooter game studios.”

Why is the Unreal Engine 5 so hated? Once considered the jewel of modern graphics, the Unreal Engine 5 was a hallmark of beautiful games. However, this status has now turned negative for some players, which Palworld developer “Bucky” addresses.

Games that use the Unreal Engine as their development platform are often seen as looking the same and being technically underdeveloped. With Borderlands 4, there has been a new shooter that used the engine and didn’t impress technically at release.

However, ARC Raiders proves that the Unreal Engine is not a hindrance and that with good work from the developers, strong FPS and good performance can also be achieved on UE5.

Jasmin Beverungen 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After a new film for Jujutsu Kaisen hit theaters this summer, a new cinematic release of the anime will follow soon. A first clip, available for one week only, showcases how great the animations are.

What kind of film will this be? Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment are releasing the compilation film Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution -Shibuya Incident x The Culling Game Begins – in Germany. The film will be available here starting November 25 in the original Japanese with German subtitles.

As with the previous film Hidden Inventory / Premature Death the new movie is a summary of the anime. This time, theater-goers can see a summary of the Shibuya Incident arc and the first two episodes of Season 3, where the Culling Game arc begins. Season 3 is actually set to start in January 2026.

In 2008, China built subway stations somewhere in the middle of nowhere and was ridiculed for it, now it turns out: The critics had no idea

Claudio Niggenkemper 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In China, metro stations are being built before the city is even constructed. Chinese urban planning began this process in 2008, effectively turning the usual urbanization process on its head.

What exactly is done differently in China? In many Western cities, there is a clear sequence: first the city grows, then it gets a subway. In China, however, the opposite has become the norm: infrastructure is built in advance – and the city follows in the years to come.

This approach has a system: According to Xataka, it is part of a long-term plan (10–20 years), where such apparent “voids” are not misplanning but rather a transitional state. Today, many of these areas are fully developed and urbanized.

The most famous example is Chongqing, a mega metropolis with over 30 million inhabitants. Ten years ago, users already photographed subway stations amidst empty landscapes, with no buildings in sight. The construction of the subway stations reportedly began on-site as early as 2008 (via unusualplaces).

Is China building its cities like in Cities: Skylines?

Why is China taking this approach? Chinese planning follows a simple principle: infrastructure creates cities, not the other way around. Instead of reacting to existing demand, this form of planning generates it through targeted criteria.

The world record for the worst video game dialogue is held by a PS1 classic

Niko Hernes 4. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Especially in earlier years, not all dialogues in video games were as good as those we know today from AAA games. A legendary zombie classic from the PS1 is the perfect example of this.

What game is it about? In 1996, Resident Evil was released by Capcom on the PlayStation 1. While the game wasn’t the founder of survival horror, it is arguably one of the most important titles in the genre. The intricate map and the accompanying backtracking are still essential components of the series today.

But even though the zombie theme combined with bioweapons sounds so serious, the first Resident Evil is also known for its absurd dialogues, which steal the seriousness from even the most difficult situation. One particular quote even earned the game a Guinness World Record.

Next year, fans can expect the next horror trip of the series:

The Master of Unlocking

What quote is it about? In 2002, the Guinness World Records named the sentence: Here’s a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you. (in German: Hier ist ein Dietrich. Es könnte praktisch sein, wenn du, der Meister des Aufschließens, ihn mitnimmst.) In the game, the character Barry says this to the player character Jill.

On their official website (guinnessworldrecords.com), the decision for the award is justified by citing various sources that mention the sentence in rankings of the worst dialogues in video games. The US magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly is specifically mentioned, as it also selected the line as the worst video game dialogue in 2002.

If you want to see for yourself, you can purchase the original (not the 2002 remake) on GOG and PS4/PS5.

You can see the dialogue in the game here:

The first Resident Evil is a feast for trash fans

Is that the only bad line in the game? No, even though the story of the Resident Evil universe has become more comprehensive over the years, it was quite absurd from the beginning. Another famous line is: That was too close. You were almost a Jill Sandwich. (in German: Das war zu knapp. Du warst fast ein Jill-Sandwich.) Barry says this again to Jill after she almost gets crushed by a trap.

Already in the first part, the story of Resident Evil did not take itself seriously. The game even starts with a live-action sequence featuring real actors reminiscent of trash films from the 80s. When you look at very American names like Chris Redfield or Albert Wesker, you also notice the trash factor.

This becomes even more evident when you look at the later writers of the series. One of the key figures was Noboru Sugimura. He worked on Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica among others. Previously, he wrote as an author for Tokusatsu series (such as Ninja Sentai Kakuranger). These are series like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that rely on exaggerated action and explosions.

Has Resident Evil changed over the years? Yes and No. Depending on the game, the story is a bit more serious, especially part 7, but the trash factor is still present. Completely absurd dialogues still occur from time to time, and the action has taken on crazy aspects.

Think of the epic dodge moves by Leon in Resident Evil 4 (via YouTube) or Chris punching a massive rock (via YouTube). But that is also what makes it charming, as few series mix horror with situational comedy.

The game master uses an old trick in Dungeons & Dragons to pull the gold out of his players’ pockets, using sour pickles

Alexander Mehrwald 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Game masters and players constantly challenge each other in Dungeons & Dragons. A game master used an old trick to lure his party into a trap, exciting the community.

What did the game master do? Reddit user polkadotfingers tells in his thread how he tricked his players into a trap. He extracted a heap of gold from them using a well-known trick. All he needed was a few pickled cucumbers.

During a long rest late at night, the group encountered a gnome named Pickle Paul in the camp, who kindly sold them pickled cucumbers for 1 silver piece each. Each group member bought one and later found out that they had a powerful effect. Whoever ate them gained the immediate effect of a long rest.

For months, the players and their characters wished for the sour cucumbers back when they were pushed to the brink of their limits and the timing for a long rest was poor. At some point, the gnome merchant returned to their campfire and brought new cucumbers.

This time, he brought about 100 pieces, but their price had risen to 5 gold pieces each. The group bought all the cucumbers he had in his wagon and managed to haggle the price down to 350 gold pieces. As they divided the cucumbers among themselves, the gnome bid farewell and disappeared.

One of the players immediately ate one of the cucumbers – and found that the effect did not occur. They had paid 350 gold for 100 ordinary sour cucumbers. polkadotfingers ends his post with a plea to other game masters and a moral of the story: “First, you get them hooked on the good stuff, and then you charge them exorbitant prices later, haha.”.

“I can’t wait to hear what happens when they track down Pickle Paul and ‘return’ his cucumbers”

What does the community say about the story? The community celebrates his tale on Reddit with over 9,400 upvotes and 295 comments (as of November 4, 2024, 10:45 AM). They wonder what the group will do with Pickle Paul and the situation.

Many commentators suspect that they will get back at him and probably kill him. Others almost hope that they become paranoid and suspect every shady vendor to be Pickle Paul. Yet others would try to turn the tables on him with his own tricks – or transform him into a cucumber or a pickle barrel.

Others want to adapt his idea slightly and use it in their own campaigns. Many also point out that he should definitely let his players have some sort of revenge, as they would only truly enjoy the situation and not just feel outsmarted.

Many game masters use such tricks or hidden cues to guide, entice, or surprise their players. One game master crafted an almost diabolical and dark storyline that shocked his players when they realized what it was about: Game master hides an evil secret in Dungeons & Dragons, delights in the shocked faces of his players

Woman spends around 300,000 euros on an actor until she realizes that he is not real

Benedikt Schlotmann 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A woman pays around 300,000 euros to an actor who pretended to have financial problems. However, the scam was eventually uncovered when she tried to contact him officially.

A woman from the USA fell victim to an elaborate scam in which a fraudster used deepfake technology to impersonate actor Lee Jung-jae, the star of the Netflix series Squid Game. This is reported by the English-language magazine Dexerto.com.

The fraudsters used manipulated videos and AI-generated chats to deceive the woman over the course of months. She believed she was in a romantic relationship with the celebrity and transferred a total of around 300,000 euros to the impersonated Lee Jung-jae, who claimed to have financial problems.

The perpetrator(s) seemingly worked professionally: they used AI tools to generate convincingly real video messages, imitate voice messages, and create a digital presence on social media. It was only when the victim attempted to contact the actor through official channels that the scam was revealed.

Deepfake fraud is a growing scam tactic that is increasingly being used

According to a study from University College London, deepfake is a scam tactic with the greatest potential for harm: this is mainly because fake content is difficult to recognize and stop, and can be used for many different purposes. From discrediting a personality to extortion, where one pretends to be the kidnapped daughter of a family.

And the damage caused by so-called “romance scams” is already very high: the Federal Trade Commission of the USA reports that in 2022 about 70,000 people lost a total of 1.3 billion US dollars. On average, this is 4,500 US dollars per person.

Victims are often people who are looking for relationships online or belong to fan communities of well-known personalities. Perpetrators deliberately choose celebrities with a high profile to increase credibility.

Marvel may have spoiled the all-powerful villain from the new MCU, could become a real problem for the Avengers

Christoph Waldboth 4. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Avengers will soon receive a new series of movies. In these, Dr. Doom is expected to be the main antagonist. However, Marvel has now – intentionally or not – revealed who might potentially surpass him.

Next year is the time for fans of Marvel to expect the next big film with the Avengers. This one is called Doomsday and is set to hit theaters in December 2026. It is already confirmed that Dr. Doom is supposed to be the main villain. He will be played by Robert Downey Jr., who will thus take on his second role for Marvel.

A year later, Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to follow. Until recently, it was thought that Dr. Doom would also be the primary antagonist here – taking on a role similar to Thanos, who appears over several films. On MeinMMO, you can find 5 reasons why Dr. Doom surpasses his predecessor.

However, Disney, the company that owns Marvel, has now dropped a big spoiler at an event. A poster shown during an expo in Brazil featured another powerful villain who could prominently appear in Secret Wars.

This was previously unknown and could give away a big surprise. Beware, if you do not want to know more about it, you should stop reading now.

An arrogant being with too much power

What was shown? On the poster, three figures can be seen: Captain America, Spider-Man in the version of Miles Morales (who was also yet to be confirmed), and a mysterious figure in the background that is depicted as very large.

The poster itself caused confusion because it was fan art, not an official design – yet it was shown at an official occasion. Therefore, some were confused that an unannounced character was depicted. However, since the poster was used by Disney, it cannot be ruled out that the characters depicted will appear in the film. Particularly, the mysterious figure in the background is interesting.

The character is almost certainly Beyonder. This figure was created in 1984 by Jim Shooter and Mike Zech and made her debut in “Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1”.

Beyonder is an exciting character who could keep the MCU and the Avengers on their toes. He hails not from Earth but from the so-called “Beyond Realm” – an existence beyond what we know.

However, Beyonder has the ability to leave his own universe and enter others. He is extremely powerful and can manipulate various things thanks to his powers. He is capable of altering reality. He can also create things, including entire universes. But since he is nearly all-powerful, he can also obliterate them.

To top it all off, Beyonder is also immortal. However, that does not mean that he is free of flaws, and this is where it gets really interesting.

What are Beyonder’s disadvantages? Although the figure resembles a god-like being in some respects, he is endowed with deeply human traits. Most of these tend to hinder him and make him unpredictable. Beyonder is highly unstable regarding his emotional state. He is also very self-absorbed, arrogant, and manipulative.

It is clear that he feels superior to all others. Again and again, this leads to problems that mainly the Avengers or other hero groups like the X-Men have to deal with. His impulsive nature makes Beyonder a significant threat. You never know how he will act next, and only gradually does he begin to question his actions and learn from them to become a better being.

What does all this mean for the Avengers? Primarily, that Dr. Doom will not be their biggest problem. Even Thanos from the older films cannot compete with Beyonder. It will be exciting to see how the heroes contend with the overpowering enemy, and whether they might even manage to reason with him.

Because as previously hinted, Beyonder is not incapable of learning new things. On the contrary: he wants to become smarter and better understand humans – including their inclination towards good and evil. Nevertheless, the Avengers will likely face a tough battle, and the audience an epic showdown. Such a situation has also occurred in the following cases: 7 cool crossovers where Marvel heroes fought against powerful enemies from other worlds

Players complain about the new season in Path of Exile, saying: The developers have forgotten the most important thing

Cedric Holmeier 4. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Path of Exile, many players have now reached the endgame of the new season “Keepers of the Flame” and are complaining because the most important thing is missing.

What kind of season is this? The new season “Keepers of the Flame” started on October 31st in Path of Exile. The developers added 10 new Ascendant classes and brought back one of the most popular modifiers, “Breach 2.0,” as an upgrade to the game.

Meanwhile, the item progression has also changed due to asynchronous trading. Players can now trade with each other much more easily and are less likely to fall victim to scams.

However, the new season has a significant problem that many players themselves notice and accordingly complain about. They believe the developers forgot about the loot.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new season:

Symptom: Lack of Loot

What’s wrong with the loot? Many players are currently experiencing that something about the loot in Path of Exile is different than usual. The new season didn’t have any significantly announced changes in that area, but players feel that they are receiving fewer items than before.

Some players are writing on Reddit:

Wind_Best_1440: “Remember Patch 3.26: You had the Mercenaries. The Mercenary League gave you a bonus on drops. No more Mercenaries, no more bonus.”
Emergency_Error832: “I completed my Atlas, did three full T16 runs for the Exarch Invitation (about 70 maps), and have not found a SINGLE Divine Orb throughout the entire league. I’m a bit demotivated to continue right now.”
Ph4nt0mRa33it: “I’m level 91, in T14 maps. No Divine Orbs. I have two friends who have been in a group since the start and have completed their Atlas with zero Divine drops. So it fits.”

Why is that? One reason is the absence of some map modifiers in Tier 17 maps in the game. This makes the maps a bit easier but also provides too little loot. However, the main reason could be another, as user HollowLoch explains on Reddit.

According to him, the problem lies within the new season’s mechanics itself. Its placement would delete the monsters that would otherwise have spawned at that location, and instead spawn the mission which also has its own enemies, but these are not affected by certain mods.

In short, this would mean that the heavily enchanted enemies are replaced by weaker ones from the mechanics, which would also directly affect the loot. This has not been officially confirmed, and there has been no statement from the developers regarding this. However, given the uproar in the community, it is likely that one will follow soon.

Manufacturer demands 120 euros for a device that warns you when your expensive graphics card may melt

jan hartmayer 4. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

A hardware manufacturer will soon release a device to protect your graphics card connectors from melting. This new small device will monitor, among other things, power and temperature values.

What kind of device is this? The new device is a graphics card connector adapter from Thermal Grizzly names WIREVIEV PRO II GPU. It is a 120 Euro monitoring tool that shuts down the entire PC if necessary, provided you use the included splitter cable.

The device can be useful for graphics cards with very high power consumption, such as Nvidia’s 80 and 90 series. They are known to repeatedly fail due to melting connectors. For example, a €2500 graphics card melts twice; the community suspects a problem that could affect you too

So anyone with a graphics card that is at risk of melting could benefit from the new adapter. The graphics cards from Intel do not melt yet:

Small device, expensive responsibility

Why can such a device be useful? Since Nvidia’s 40 series, there is the so-called 12VHPWR connector, which causes problems. The cable presents a potential danger. There is now a successor called 12V-2×6, which is backward compatible, but also reportedly problematic.

It consists of 12 individual pins that can each deliver up to 108 watts. Maximum, the entire connector delivers up to 600 watts. This means that with balanced performance, the current flowing and the heat development should distribute evenly across all pins.

After the connector was released, it became clear: Current does not always flow evenly, and individual pins or sections of the cable get too hot. Worse still, the already fragile cable easily slips out of the graphics card socket.

This situation can end with a melted cable. This is particularly annoying with high-end graphics cards like the Nvidia 40/5090, which place a heavier load on the power connection than graphics cards with lower power consumption. The loss is especially frustrating because the graphics card is not only broken but was also quite expensive. It is additionally frustrating because Nvidia could solve the problem at any time.
