World of Warcraft will be released on the next Xbox – WoW finally on console

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

After endless rumors, it is now true: World of Warcraft is coming to console. But not in the way you think.

For many years it was a rumor and speculation. Basically, since 2014, there have been suspicions that World of Warcraft would eventually come to console. Now, Windows Central has confirmed it. Because WoW will appear on Xbox – but not quite as you might think.

Start video
WoW Midnight – The opening cinematic of the new addon shows the attack on Silvermoon

What has been revealed? In an article from Windows Central, details about the next Xbox console generation were revealed. It was also explained that some games will be playable on it that, at first glance, do not seem to fit. Among them: World of Warcraft.

WoW on Xbox – Just like all other PC games

What’s the catch? Those who think that World of Warcraft is coming to console and that the many signs have been validated are only partly correct. Because there isn’t really a dedicated console version of WoW.

Instead, the next Xbox generation will simply have full Windows integration, making it extremely close to a PC. Anyone who wants can open different platforms and launchers on the Xbox – such as Steam or Battle.net. Thus, the next Xbox is basically a PC and all PC games will be available to the console.

When will it happen? When the next generation of the Xbox console will be released is currently still uncertain. Therefore, there is also no set date for when WoW will come to console.
This will at least fulfill part of the hopes of many gamers, allowing them to experience Azeroth – at least in some way – on a console. Whether a “real” version for PlayStation or even a Nintendo console will follow remains to be seen.

If Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3 was just too attractive for you, you will soon hear him as a space locust on Steam

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Starfinder, an upcoming role-playing game for Steam, not only learns from Baldur’s Gate 3 but can now also boast one of its stars.

Uh, what? Neil Newbon, the voice of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3, takes on the role of the companion Preach in the upcoming role-playing game Starfinder: Afterlight. The cRPG is based on the sci-fi offshoot of Pathfinder, one of the biggest competitors to Dungeons & Dragons.

Preach is a Shirren, grasshopper-like creatures. However, he scores not only with his appearance and Neil Newbon’s voice but also with the charm of a single father: Preach is dedicated to protecting the “Golden Child,” a cute larva-like creature.

What kind of game is this? Starfinder: Afterlight will be a role-playing game from the Spanish indie studio Epictellers. The developers have previously announced that they will learn from Baldur’s Gate 3 and place a strong emphasis on companions.

Player decisions should have noticeable consequences: If you are mean, the companion Kole loses his good mood; if you go too far, the Companions will even leave you completely.

To make companions truly shine, they enlisted high-profile support from experienced voice actors, whom you may have heard in games like Overwatch, Borderlands 4, and Dying Light: The Beast.

Before Newbon was announced as a cast member, he had already been involved as a voice director, proving indispensable to the developers in this role. In a short teaser on YouTube, you can get your first impression of his performance:

You can support Starfinder: Afterlight on Kickstarter until November 6, 2025. Although the original goal of 75,000 euros has been exceeded by more than 500,000 €, there remains one last stretch goal: If 600,000 euros are reached, the role-playing game will be fully voiced, right down to the last NPC.

However, it will still take a little while before you can experience the fantastic voice acting: An early access is planned for next year, with the release set for 2027.

Pilots from Battlefield 6 demand more love for aircraft from EA, but the infantry completely disagree

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 6, the pilots are currently dissatisfied. Their favorite vehicles are having issues and are being neglected.

Why are pilots asking for more love for aircraft? Jets and helicopters are currently in a difficult state in Battlefield 6. There are many strong ways to shoot the aircraft out of the sky. Some of them ignore all countermeasures, some destroy jets and helis with just one hit, and others strike without warning. Now, the pilots are demanding changes.

The content creator SilkOCE, who is regarded as one of the top 10 pilots in Battlefield, and has already achieved over 9,000 kills using only aircraft, posted a whole list of problems on X on October 24, which he believes need to be addressed.

The creator’s post received around 1,200 likes and was then shared on Reddit, where it also gathered over 2,700 upvotes and almost 1,500 comments.

Battlefield 6: Mit diesen Tipps werdet ihr zum besseren Squad-Spieler

Many problems, but no solution in sight

In the patch notes for the upcoming update on October 28, 2025, the various issues with aircraft are not addressed, while infantry players can look forward to news on topics such as the random spread of firearms (cf. X). Players like Silk are therefore asking for more love for their favorite toys.

What are the problems that need to be fixed? Silk lists several issues with aircraft gameplay that should be tackled by the developers:

  • The rockets of the stealth jet ignore countermeasures (flares).
  • Every laser-guided rocket ignores countermeasures (flares).
  • The warning system of the aircraft does not indicate when rockets from the stealth jet are fired at targets.
  • Radar is not functioning.
  • Refilling ammunition reserves is tied to a cooldown that is shared with the entire team.
  • The TTK (Time-to-Kill) of all aircraft is too fast.
  • TOW rockets are too easy to handle / too effective.
  • The operation of the guided missiles of the Bradleys is too easy.
  • RPG-7v2 has too high speed.
  • SRAW is too weak.
  • No jet loadouts.
  • The helicopter control assistance is faulty.
  • The automatic air defense of the base is too weak.
  • Jet bombs are too easily shot down by AA, even accidentally.
  • The attack helicopter has lost its laser-guided rocket.

However, the biggest problem right now seems to be the effectiveness of rockets targeting laser-marked targets. When a spotter has marked a helicopter or jet with a laser, it is guaranteed to be hit by the rockets. The rockets ignore countermeasures, and in the case of the guided missiles from the Bradleys, just one hit is enough to destroy any aircraft.

Infantry players do not want even stronger aircraft

This is what infantry players say: Even though some infantry players acknowledge that aircraft are having a hard time, especially because of the effectiveness of laser-guided rockets, others do not think that aircraft should be improved.

On X, a user asks how aircraft can be in bad condition when players like Silk regularly achieve rounds with over 100 kills. On Reddit, a user adds that he hated nothing more in Battlefield V than dying by bombs from an aircraft without having a chance to do anything about it.

7 vs. Wild sends the candidates through the jungle with a compass – fan reveals now why this doesn’t work

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In 7 vs. Wild, the contestants are out in the jungle in the current season. However, they have recently had trouble finding their way. A fan explains why this is.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for 7 vs. Wild Season 5 Episode 1–6.

What problems are the participants facing? The participants of 7 vs. Wild have recently been tasked with leaving their camp and moving on. They were given a compass heading of 264 degrees for this.

Although the participants adhered to the direction, they strayed very far off course. Because they were unable to find their destination, they decided to set up an emergency camp to continue their search the next day.

A fan has now analyzed why the participants have strayed so far off course and believes that the organization overlooked one thing.

Jens “Knossi” Knossalla was once a participant in 7 vs. Wild:

Start video
From the Witness Stand with Barbara Salesch to the King of Twitch – Career and Life of Knossi

Compass, magnets, and physics

What does the fan believe? On Reddit, fan big0ale presents his theory. He is well-versed in using a compass and knows what to look for. While watching the series, it immediately came to his mind why the participants likely strayed from the path.

He elaborates in his post that magnetic north deviates from true north. He believes that the organization simply provided the contestants with the heading of 264 degrees without considering the magnetic declination.

Due to the declination, the contestants would automatically go 10 degrees off course, which is clearly visible in the series. Additionally, he suggests that the compass used by the contestants likely does not allow for declination correction and is not designed for the southern hemisphere.

What does this mean? For the fan, it is clear: The organization of 7 vs. Wild made a beginner’s mistake. While they specified 264 degrees, they should have actually indicated 274 degrees to guide the contestants correctly at that point. This could have been achieved using a tool.

Thus, according to the fan, the participants cannot reach their goal even if they walk perfectly straight without obstacles. The problem could therefore arise repeatedly in future episodes, as no matter how well the participants perform, they will always end up in the wrong place.

Pokémon GO starts tomorrow the last spotlight hour in October – Is it worth it?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

You shouldn’t miss tomorrow’s Spotlight Hour at Pokémon GO. The last date in October brings you Fatalitee.

When does the Spotlight Hour start? The Spotlight Hour starts on October 28 at 6:00 PM. It will end at 7:00 PM and the Pokémon spawns from the current Halloween event will be reactivated.

Which Pokémon is featured in the Spotlight Hour? Fatalitee will appear on Tuesday evening everywhere in the wild. It is an exciting catch that you shouldn’t miss.

Can Fatalitee be shiny? Yes, the shiny form of Fatalitee has been available since the Halloween event in Pokémon GO.

What bonus do you get? You will receive double candies for every catch you make during the Spotlight Hour. This is particularly interesting in connection with Fatalitee. We will summarize more about this for you below.

Select a MMO video…

Why is Fatalitee worth it during the Spotlight Hour of Pokémon GO?

Fatalitee is a relatively rare Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, but not very often.

The most interesting point about this creature is that it comes in two forms: the counterfeit form and the original form.

The counterfeit form is encountered much more frequently, while the original form is very difficult to find. You will only find out which variant you have after catching it by having your team leader evaluate the creature. They will then tell you which version you have. Read more about Fatalitee’s forms here.

Another interesting point is that the original form requires a total of 400 candies to evolve into Mortipot. The counterfeit form only needs 50. But if you want to catch and evolve an original, you will need a lot of candies.

Thus, Tuesday is ideal for collectors: Many Fatalitee will appear during the Spotlight Hour, and you can try your luck to catch an original. And aside from that, you will gather plenty of candies to evolve it if needed.

Who knows, maybe you’ll even catch a shiny.

A game like LoL has 260 million players and you probably have never heard of it

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Honor of Kings are celebrating a new milestone. 260 million players played the Chinese alternative to LoL last month, but the game is unknown in the West.

What kind of game is it? Honor of Kings is in China what League of Legends is in the West: the most successful MOBA. Unlike LoL, the Chinese alternative is fully focused on mobile, targeting an audience in China for whom mobile games are more than just a pastime.

At first glance, Honor of Kings seems like a copy of League of Legends, and some characters resemble the perennial favorite from the West. However, the two games differ significantly in their scope.

While rounds in League of Legends can last up to three-quarters of an hour, a round in HoK is typically over much quicker, usually within 20 minutes. Additionally, the depth of entry into Honor of Kings is predominantly easier compared to League of Legends, so newcomers receive constant tips from the game on what to buy, upgrade, and improve first.

Not only LoL is working on an MMORPG, the developers of Honor of Kings are doing that as well; you can see the trailer here:

Start video
Honor of Kings: World shows setting and battles in the trailer

Great success for Honor of Kings

How successful is the game? Honor of Kings does not hide in the shadow of League of Legends; on the contrary: The developers are now celebrating 260 million active users in just one month. This puts the title in direct competition with Robolox, which is currently considered the largest game in the world.

It also seems that the game is doing excellently financially. According to gam3s.gg, Honor of Kings alone generated 143 million USD in June 2025, which corresponds to about 123 million euros.

Similar to the Worlds in LoL, Honor of Kings also has a large, active esports scene in China. Here, professionals compete annually in front of large audiences for prize money in the millions.

How is the game performing in the West? As a mobile MOBA, Honor of Kings had a good start in the West. With over 50 million downloads alone in the Google Play Store, many players have tried the MOBA. This is also due to a large marketing campaign by the developers, who wanted to establish themselves in the West.

However, Honor of Kings has not really taken on the major competitor League of Legends and its strong fanbase. Instead, the developers, as in China, focused on mobile and thus carved out their own audience.

Whether the title can establish itself in the long term, even if the publisher Tencent does not provide as much budget for marketing anymore, remains to be seen.

100 German-speaking Twitch streamers play Minecraft together, but one will be banned before the start

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

A few days ago, the Minecraft project “Craft Attack” started its 13th round. 100 German-speaking content creators have come together to play Minecraft live on Twitch. However, one of the Twitch streamers was banned for a day even before the start.

What is Craft Attack? Craft Attack is a Minecraft project that involves various German-speaking content creators. It started in 2013 with only a handful of YouTubers participating.

Currently, the project is in its 13th season and includes 100 German-speaking content creators this year. Among them are Papaplatte, MontanaBlack, HandOfBlood, and CastCrafter (as seen in the title image).

The idea is for these content creators to come together on a Minecraft server and form teams. They build bases and come up with content to entertain their viewers. It’s about fun, creativity, and entertainment and is not intended to be a competition.

The special thing about this year’s season is that there is no end date.

“I screwed up”

Who has been banned and why? Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” Goedert is also participating in the 13th season of Craft Attack, but not on the first day. The Luxembourg content creator received a ban for that.

The reason: Before the project started, he revealed the results of the participants’ voting, thereby disclosing which other content creators would join the project. The outcome of the votes was supposed to remain a secret for the community at first.

LetsHugo said in a statement: “That’s valid. That’s completely valid. (…) I screwed up. That’s my fault.” (Source: TikTok). After his ban, LetsHugo was then allowed to join the Minecraft project.

How is Craft Attack doing at the moment? The start of the Minecraft project is already a big success. Looking at the Minecraft category on SullyGnome.com, there is an increase of 800% in watchtime among the German-speaking audience.

Moreover, you can’t get around Craft Attack on Twitch in the Minecraft category, at least when looking for German channels:

A game about Boomer Dads conquering Steam while reaching 100,000 simultaneous players

tobias schwaiger tobias schwaiger Reading time 2 minutes

Steam is repeatedly a repository of various gaming highlights, which thousands of players simultaneously rush to. That a group of chain-smoking fathers on a camping trip can be turned into a successful game was probably something no one expected.

What game is it? In “RV There Yet?” we take on a very unusual role: We are a smoking, beer-drinking, camping-loving Boomer. And as a group of men, we have just one goal: to get our RV home.

The concept seems to work: Just on the first weekend after release, “RV There Yet?” reached 100,000 concurrent players (Source: SteamDB) and was received with a “very positive” rating on Steam.

Especially developer Nuggets Entertainment expresses being overwhelmed by the success of their originally just eight-week Game Jam project and thanks the rapidly growing community in the patch notes on Steam.

Players want to take their friends’ licenses away directly

How does RV There Yet? play? According to the community, it is mainly chaotic and funny. In the co-op physics simulation, up to four players try to maneuver an aging RV over daring bridges and narrow mountain paths – while bears, cliffs, and their own clumsiness constantly lead to disasters. One gamer sums it up in his Steam review as follows:

In this game, it is about drinking beer, driving cars with friends, and smoking cigarettes. Sometimes, it is about running after the RV when your friends decide to leave without you. Ultimately, it is about staying on the road.

Another user particularly highlights that the words “Vehicle Destroyed” will eventually “trigger you forever”. You can’t help but yell at your teammates and wonder, “whether some friends should even drive”.

What exactly is the No-Face in Spirited Away?

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Spirited Away is one of the greatest anime classics of all time. A creature from Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece is known by everyone: the No-Face. But what is this monster and what does it represent?

When Spirited Away was released in 2001, the film not only snagged an Oscar at the 2003 awards (albeit a bit late): it made Studio Ghibli famous worldwide and remains one of the most well-known anime films of all time.

The film captivates mainly through the colorful world into which protagonist Chihiro travels. The various spirits are the big highlight. The most famous inhabitant of this world is probably No-Face. But what is this spirit and what does it represent?

Start video
Spirited Away Trailer (English)

An Original Creation by Hayao Miyazaki

What is No-Face? Even though Miyazaki often draws inspiration from Japanese folklore, No-Face is not based on any mythological figure or Yōkai. It is an original creation. It is a large black creature with a mask for a face. The mask resembles Japanese Nō masks used for a special form of theater. Whether this was the original idea for the mask remains unclear.

In Japanese, No-Face is called Kaonashi. This translates roughly to faceless. This aligns with Miyazaki’s explanation, which was quoted by the x-account of Kinro_ntv (a special Friday TV slot on Nippon TV that regularly shows Ghibli films) in 2024. In German, Miyazaki says:

There are No-Faces everywhere. I believe there are people who want to attach themselves to someone, but who have no sense of self.

Why is this relevant for the film? In the film, No-Face, after showing that it can seemingly create gold, is besieged by the employees of the bathhouse. They praise it for its donations, which seems to please it. However, when Chihiro thanks it but does not accept its gift, it transforms into a mad monster that seemingly tries to consume everything out of greed.

When Chihiro confronts No-Face, she tells it: It would be better if you went home. […] Where is your family? Don’t you have a dad and mom? No-Face responds: No, no, I am alone, all alone.

Afterward, she travels with No-Face by train. While all the guests slowly exit the vehicle, No-Face and Chihiro remain. In the end, No-Face stays with the witch Zeniba and helps her in the house.

How can No-Face be interpreted? Along with Miyazaki’s statement, No-Face could be an identity-less spirit wandering forever to form its identity, good or bad. This spirit only does so through other beings, which is why it wants to please everyone. Therefore, No-Face became so greedy and gluttonous in the bathhouse because it adapted to the greed of others.

If one were to project this onto the real world, the film could point to people who desperately try to please everyone, but suppress their own interests, emotions, and thoughts. They adapt, but without showing and developing their own identity. However, in Spirited Away, No-Face had a good ending. The spirit was accepted by Zeniba without having to constantly give.

But this is just one interpretation of the film and Miyazaki’s words. As often, you can see Spirited Away and its characters from different perspectives. The Ghibli legend is also not known for explaining everything in his films. How the film ranks can be seen here: All Ghibli films ranked by IMDb

Because the player character in Final Fantasy XIV is known for licking everything, many players choose a specific quest reward

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV lets players often choose what they would like to have upon quest completion. And since the player character is known for savoring everything, they have a favorite.

How do rewards work in Final Fantasy XIV? For each completed quest, there is a reward in Final Fantasy XIV: There are always at least experience points for the level grind if the player character has not already reached the maximum level. There are also often a selection of other rewards.

In addition to buff food that temporarily improves the stats of the character, sellable gold coins are often offered as well. In a thread on Reddit, the coins are super popular as a reward, but not because of their selling value:

The player character, the Warrior of Light, is the voice behind the item descriptions in the game. For many absolutely absurd items, at least in English, there are descriptions of how something tastes. And some players now say they prefer the coins so that their Warrior of Light can attempt to eat them once more.

Take what tastes best!

How do players choose their rewards? The Reddit thread, however, is not about the (non) edible coins, of which Reddit user arisencrimsonchaos writes. Others also have slightly absurd reasons and ways of deciding on an item: I always choose the food that can be sold for the most money at the vendors when there is no better item available, writes MGIBlaze via Reddit.

Aesah, the author of the original post, has turned his method of choosing into a meme. He does not want to choose the reward food that gives the best buffs for his class, but rather the one that sounds the tastiest:

Most players, according to the comments, go for the items that bring them the most money at the market board or to the NPC vendors. A few others, however, write that they consider what their Warrior of Light would like to eat.

Are there other types of rewards? In addition to buff food and coins, there is often enough equipment, minions, or in rare cases, like the completion of an expansion, even mounts. Here, usually, the torment of choice is eliminated: Non-consumable items should presumably be available to every player.

One of the best Pokémon players in the world will not attend tournaments for the time being, making experiences with fans responsible

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The content creator Wolfe “WolfeyVGC” Glick talks in his latest YouTube video about the experiences he had at Pokémon tournaments. Fans often approached him without his consent, which led to fear and stress on his part. Now he is drawing consequences for the future.

Who is it about? WolfeyVGC is a well-known YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and Pokémon player in the U.S. He holds the record for the most Regional Championships won and has also secured several victories at the National and International Championships. Additionally, he was even champion in 2016.

His content on YouTube and Twitch primarily revolves around Pokémon, and he has over 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel (source: YouTube).

However, in his latest video, he doesn’t talk about Pokémon but discusses why he does not want to attend tournaments in the near future and what the reasons for that are.

Start video
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

“The number should be 0”

What experiences has WolfeyVGC had? WolfeyVGC reports that he has repeatedly been harassed by people at Pokémon tournaments. From September 2024 to August 2025, WolfeyVGC participated in a total of seven tournaments. He claims to have been groped at five of these tournaments.

While taking photos with fans, he claims to have been touched inappropriately, some of which was of a sexual nature. However, he says that this was one of the lesser problems, as it only happened “once or twice per tournament” (source: YouTube, from minute 04:19).

At the 2025 World Championships, WolfeyVGC had a stiff neck, which none of the fans took into consideration, the YouTuber says. They repeatedly allegedly touched his neck, causing him pain and discomfort. It eventually became so unbearable for him that the YouTuber had to leave early.

There are numerous other examples, according to WolfeyVGC. All of this is very stressful for him, and at tournaments he is constantly looking for rooms where he can retreat to calm down. After such events, he needs at least a week to reduce his stress and anxiety symptoms.

The community is shocked by these comments. For example, @i.ftekhar writes: “‘Only once or twice per tournament’? Uh, what? The number should be zero.”

WolfeyVGC blames this primarily on the parasocial behavior of some fans. He says that such fans make him feel more like a symbol than a human being. He finds it dehumanizing.

In addition, there is more and more hate on the internet, he says, not only against him, but also against his fellow players.

Please be normal. Most of you are normal. The majority of people are normal, but 0.1% of 2 million [YouTube subscribers] is still 2,000 people and that is not nobody.

– WolfeyVGC via YouTube from minute 32:54

What does he announce for the future? WolfeyVGC states that he only makes this video and takes these consequences because he sees no other way out. A video about the 2025 World Championships will not be uploaded on his YouTube channel. The experiences that resurface are too stressful.

In the near future, he will not attend any more Pokémon tournaments in person. Furthermore, he mostly wants to withdraw from social media and stream less on Twitch. However, his YouTube content will continue as usual.

The player receives her grandmother’s old D&D treasures, the community envies her: “My grandma told me back then that D&D was evil”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 3 minutes

A 70-year-old woman finds her old stuff that she used for Dungeons & Dragons and gives it to her granddaughter, who plays TTRPGs herself. She shows her treasure to the community, which emphasizes how cool her grandma actually is.

What did the player receive from her grandma? User SapphicSunsetter reports to the D&D community on Reddit that she received her grandma’s entire D&D collection, which had been stored in a storage unit for years. An attached picture shows player handbooks, guides for Dungeon Masters, and a lot of expansions mostly related to the second edition of the game, as well as the more complex and rule-heavy system of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons).

The player writes that her grandma used to play quite a lot and remembers her granddaughter mentioning that she was interested in the game. Since she wanted to declutter anyway, she gave her not only the books but also a few figurines that can be used for playing. They are mostly a bit yellowed and dusty, some slightly torn, but other than that, in fairly good condition.

Since the player has only played the fifth edition of D&D and is also currently looking at other TTRPGs, she doesn’t really know what to do with the treasures, but she thinks it’s cool to see all the history that is in these items.

Here you can see the trailer for the fourth campaign of the famous group of Dungeons & Dragons, Critical Role:

Start video
The 4th Campaign of Critical Role starts now and is bigger than ever

“These are really good relics, kiddo” – the D&D community celebrates this find

What does the community point out? The D&D community is happy for the player and celebrates her grandma for being able to enjoy the game so much in her time – because that’s not necessarily a given. Dungeons & Dragons was much more niche in the 80s than it is now and was actually demonized in some strictly conservative circles, as several users report in the Reddit thread.

“That’s so cool!”, writes Nihilist47_ in reaction to the player’s find, “My grandma once told me D&D was evil when I was a child.”

The player explains on Reddit that she grew up in a place where people are much more open-minded and that she was taught early to separate reality and fiction, as well as morality and stories. However, the so-called “Satanic Panic” was completely crazy according to the player.

Also, Doc_Bedlam remembers the time when Dungeons & Dragons was part of the alleged movement that caused fear of satanic influences in society due to religious beliefs and panic triggered by the media: “I remember the Satanic Panic. […] Crazy is the right word.”

How do people otherwise react to the found treasures? The community is reminded of their own childhoods through the player’s and her grandma’s find and is happy to see the books they started playing with again – but they also feel quite old because of it.

“Grandma? Damn, I’m old,” writes Des8559 and also seaworks notes that time does not stand still: “‘From my grandma’ – I think I just turned to dust.”

Furthermore, SapphicSunset’s grandma is welcomed by gamers around the same age with a virtual hug, beside her coolness and the nice gesture.

“Give your grandma a big hug from us old players,” writes Tall-Peak8881, “Seriously, that’s a treasure. Forget the old mechanics, but the lore, the characters, the monsters, and pure fantasy will make up for years of campaigns. Ask her about her campaigns, about the NPCs she played, the players. A wealth of knowledge and ideas for further adventures, you could use those experiences to start new campaigns.”

It is not uncommon for game collections or their treasures to be passed down through generations. However, sometimes such things get forgotten, along with their usefulness. One game master stumbled upon a find one day that could come from such a game collection and wants to use it for future campaigns – the question is how? Game master asks what he should do with 100 black dice in D&D, community already has ideas to make his group suffer

The new Alpha for Marathon is said to have significantly improved the shooter from Bungie, but there is still criticism

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

What has become of Bungie’s extraction shooter? This is the question fans are asking when it comes to Marathon. One thing we can tell you is that the developers are still working hard, and the new alpha test shows that there has been progress.

Why is there so little news about Marathon? Bungie’s extraction shooter has had a tough time, as there has been much criticism since the last beta:

  • Marathon feels generic and boring.
  • The battles are not memorable.
  • The surrounding terrain is gray and desolate.
  • The loot and mission system feels insignificant.
  • The class system does not fit the extraction genre.

Additionally, Bungie allegedly used various designs from an artist without their consent and decorated containers and buildings with them. Therefore, Bungie withdrew and postponed its release indefinitely.

There has been a long silence between the developers and their fans, but now the studio has released a new closed alpha test.

This was playable under NDA by selected players. Many ignored the confidentiality obligation and expressed their opinions on the new version of Marathon. To the surprise of many, it seems to be better than it was a few months ago.

Start video

Better, but there are still problems

How good is the new alpha test? Paul Tassi, a veteran in the Destiny community and editor at Forbes, has been able to collect many opinions about the closed alpha (Source: forbes.com). Selected players reached out to him on social networks despite the NDA to share how things are going with the shooter. The following can currently be heard:

  • Bungie had an identity crisis with Marathon because it wanted to be far too casual for the genre. However, this has now changed. The TTK (Time to Kill) has now been drastically reduced. This means you kill and die much faster.
  • The AI robots (UESC NPCs) presented no danger. They often acted mindlessly and were not truly accurate. That has also changed. They are now deadlier and pose a threat aside from enemy players. Those who are not careful risk wasting a lot of ammunition and healing on them.
  • The graphic style, once gray and dreary, is now much better and polished.

Overall, according to the changes, Bungie appears to be moving away from a broader audience and rather venturing into the hardcore realm. According to Tassi, Bungie may have overdone it in some areas, but there is certainly time to adjust the issues through feedback.

von Jasmin Beverungen

Is there also negative criticism? Yes, there is. The class system with fixed talents does not fit into the genre. While some skills dominate (smoke grenades and stealth), others fall by the wayside. The community still hopes for the ability to create more custom loadouts, but unfortunately, the system is already firmly integrated.

The quest system also creates real bloodbaths, as many of them are granted to players simultaneously. Everyone rushes to the same locations or items, which then leads to huge shootouts.

Last but not least, genre newcomers have a problem due to the high difficulty of getting into the shooter. Fights are too sweaty, whether against real or AI opponents. However, based on the feedback, it is evident that Bungie has a goal and is not afraid to take risks.

It remains to be seen whether these efforts will appeal to a broader audience. ARC: Raiders managed to attract many players into the niche extraction genre; perhaps Marathon can do the same in an open beta test. However, until that time, fans will have to be patient. At least ARC: Raiders is starting soon. You can find all the release information here.

The head of ChatGPT says: AI will eliminate jobs that are not “real work”.

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, caused a stir at a developer event with a statement that will likely upset many. He suggested that jobs lost to AI are not “real work”.

The fear of job loss due to artificial intelligence taking over tasks is a real concern that people have. Programmers, writers, and even artists are already feeling the impact of AI on the job market.

Video creators could soon face competition from the new Sora AI. That AI will change the job market is probably indisputable. Now, the head of ChatGPT, Sora, and Dolly is commenting on the issue, and his statement offends many people.

Select a MMO video…

The Farmer and the Internet

What does the boss say? Sam Altman was confronted with a thought during an interview at the company’s own DevDay conference. How would a farmer from 50 years ago view our current work environment? His response: “They [the farmer] would likely look at what you and I do and say: ‘That’s not real work’.”

Altman further adds that this perspective makes him “a little less worried”. He argues that someone who “farms” or produces food is doing something “people really need. That is real work.” In contrast, many modern jobs would be to the farmer just “a game to pass the time”.

This suggests that jobs that can be done by AI may not be important or valuable to society.

What is behind the statement? While the statement sounds cold-hearted and dystopian, economically speaking, it may not be entirely false. In 2024, there was a debate about so-called “bullshit jobs” (via Focus.de).

This refers to jobs that consist solely of ticking off checklists, writing reports that no one reads, or sitting in meetings that are completely unproductive and where only a few employees are truly needed.

These routine tasks ultimately contribute little to the product and value creation and can be partially replaced by artificial intelligence. Comparing jobs from 50 years ago to today, there are significant differences, and it will likely be the same according to Altman in 2075.

What jobs will even exist in 2075 and which will be created by artificial intelligence is something Altman cannot answer either. However, it is clear to him that artificial intelligence will eliminate some jobs.

The job market will change, and although Altman’s statement certainly seems cold and unmerciful, there is a true thought in it. Whether artificial intelligence will actually cause certain professions to become extinct, or whether only the tasks will change, remains open. An opponent of ChatGPT could now surprisingly be the Pope: Microsoft and the Pope are teaming up to distribute the benefits of AI more fairly and combat potential dangers.

A miniseries on Netflix was watched for 48 million hours in just 4 days, performing better than some of the big names in the catalog, even though it came out of nowhere

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

New content appears on Netflix every week. Sometimes, even inconspicuous movies and series achieve great success. This happened in 2025 with a miniseries that even stole the 1st place in the charts from Wednesday.

Which series is it about? On September 25, 2025, a new miniseries titled Wayward – Unpredictable premiered on Netflix, mixing thriller with mystery elements. While it features a strong actress in Toni Collette, there wasn’t much hype surrounding the series before its launch. September was all about the 2nd season of Wednesday.

However, Wayward still managed to secure the first place in the Netflix charts during its release week, which was previously held by Wednesday. With 8,200,000 views and over 48,800,000 hours watched, Wayward celebrated a huge success in just 4 days, despite tackling a difficult subject.

Start video
Wayward shows in the trailer that the Tall Pines Academy of the Netflix series is more than just a boarding school

Mystery, shock elements, and Toni Collette

What kind of series is Wayward? Leila and Abbie are best friends, but because Abbie is causing trouble at school and her grades are not improving, her parents send her to Tall Pines Academy. This is a boarding school that tries to get difficult students back on the right track using special educational methods and structure. The academy is run by Evelyn Wade, played by Toni Collette.

Another part of the story focuses on the police officer Alex Dempsey, who has moved to Tall Pines with his wife. After he finds a runaway teenager from Tall Pines Academy, he begins to investigate. In doing so, he slowly uncovers a secret that affects not only the boarding school but the entire town.

As is common in such stories, the students at the boarding school are not doing well, and the unconventional educational methods have a high shock factor. Those who have issues with themes such as bullying, humiliation, and at times even torture should avoid watching the series.

How is the series received? On Rotten Tomatoes, the series is received rather mixed. While the 54 critic reviews rate the series favorably at 78%, users are significantly more negative. With over 250 user reviews, the series only gets 47%.

What does MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes say about Wayward? Wayward could have benefitted from fewer episodes, as some story sections drag on. Nevertheless, the mystery aspect is worth a look, and although some characters remain a bit one-dimensional, especially Toni Collette impresses.

It is not the best Netflix series of the year, but especially for those who want to watch something that captures the spooky atmosphere around Halloween without being horror, Wayward might be a good choice.

Players of ARC Raiders fear that you cannot loot better gear from your opponents, prompting developers to respond

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Your opponents in ARC Raiders are supposedly determined by their gear. Now the developers are commenting on whether that is true.

What is behind the concern? A few days before the release of ARC Raiders, rumors emerged within the community of the shooter that the game would have a so-called gear-based matchmaking system in its full version.

This means that when you start a raid, you would only encounter other players during the round whose gear is approximately as strong as yours. You wouldn’t face any opponents with significantly better or worse gear.

Players express dissatisfaction and developers respond

Why does this bother the players? The idea of gear-based matchmaking was not well received by part of the community. On Reddit, a player called for completely removing gear-based matchmaking from the game, and over 900 users agreed with him by upvoting.

In various posts and comment sections on social networks, players explain that part of the appeal of extraction shooters is starting a round with poor gear and coming out with good, stolen gear. However, if all opposing players in the lobby have equally good gear, this experience is lost.

Now the developers of ARC Raiders have responded to the discussion and underlying rumors in a statement that was shared, among other platforms, on X.

“It is true that the team previously evaluated both loot/gear-based and other types of matchmaking principles, but currently the focus is on maintaining the separation between solo and squad players to keep these groups on a balanced playing field whenever possible.”

After the server slam of ARC Raiders, many players also discussed the difficulty of the extraction shooter. MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos also has an opinion on this and is convinced that the developers should not listen to the loud fans: ARC Raiders will be the next big extraction shooter, but only if the developers do not listen to their fans

WoW: Player farms a mount for 17 years and is finally happy – then the community tells him the truth

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft, you can farm endlessly for the perfect mount. But those who get too excited too soon may regret it in the end.

There are many rare mounts in World of Warcraft. Some are farmed not just for a few days or weeks, but for years. A player has tried for 17 years to obtain the coveted mount from the Headless Horseman. Now he finally got it and is extremely happy. But then comes the sobering reaction from other players: Ha, that’s not what you wanted…

Many players prefer to play Remix instead of modern WoW:

Which mount is it about? We are talking about “The Reins of the Rider.” This is a mount that has existed since patch 2.4.3 in World of Warcraft – for almost 17 years. Back then, it was a very rare drop from the “Headless Horseman”; today it comes from the “Loot-filled Pumpkin,” which is obtained by defeating the Rider for the first time daily. In both cases, however, the drop chance is extremely low.

The player draculasbloodtype is delighted when he finally received the mount and immediately proudly shared his screenshot online:

Joy over the wrong mount

The community reacts amusedly, showing empathy: However, the joy lasts only a short while, as the community immediately has a few remarks:

  • “That is… who of you wants to tell him?” – NotAMadLad1
  • “I would say, let him have this little moment and tell him tomorrow.” – joekandy
  • “You spent 17 years farming a mount that has only been around for a week, that’s impressive! Can I borrow your time machine next?” – Mercylas

The catch is: He didn’t actually get the right mount, but a new one that has only been available recently.

What mount is this instead? The “The Headless Horseman’s Ghoulish Charger” is a mount that was only added in 2025 during the Hallow’s End. It is a completely new mount and also has a much higher drop chance. Anyone who completes the event every day with at least one character should be quite certain to have this mount in their collection by the end of the Hallow’s End.

The new mount is essentially a HD variant of the old mount. Even though the player did not get exactly the mount of his dreams, visually it is quite close. And there are still a few days left to fulfill the actual heart’s desire.
If you are not lucky with the Headless Horseman, you can simply buy an alternative at the trading post…

In Pokémon GO, you now solve a research task much easier than before, trainers cheer

Pokémon GO grants you a research task where you need to complete different tasks than usual. The community is thrilled.

On the upcoming Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM the next Dynamax Battle Day in Pokémon GO takes place. You will be able to challenge Deponitox, the Poison-type Pokémon from Generation 5, in its Gigantamax form for the first time.

As preparation, there is a free, limited-time research in Pokémon GO that has been active in the game since October 27, 2025, at 6:00 AM. This includes a change regarding the tasks for the first time. This is welcomed in the community.

Select a MMO video…

“Play the game instead of wasting resources”

What kind of research is this? As usual with the debut of Gigantamax bosses, there is a free, limited-time research available in advance where you can receive a fighter that is strong against the new boss. You have until the event starts on November 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM to complete it. Among other rewards, you will receive a Rotomurf in its Dynamax form.

You can also obtain corresponding candies in regular and XL variants here, as well as some stardust and Dynamax particles.

What is this change? Previously, it was always necessary to complete different tasks in these research missions to receive all rewards. This included unlocking a Dynamax move as well as 3 level-ups for Dynamax moves. For this, you needed Dyna particles.

The current version of the research instead features modified tasks. If you want to receive all the research rewards now, you only need to win 5 Dynamax battles. This means you no longer have to use valuable Dyna particles to complete the research.

What does the community say about it? This change has caused excitement in the community. Some comments about it on Reddit are as follows:

  • “”Play the game” instead of “wasting your resources””, writes csinv
  • “This is a huge win and a very welcome change! I was waiting to level up moves until these stupid old researches forced us to. Now I’m no longer wasting resources leveling Dynamax moves on Pokémon I’ll never use. Until Level 77 of course,” says blastcat4
  • “The unlocking was never ideal for me. As a result, I was waiting to unlock until these researches showed up,” comments NOJ711
  • “Oh, this is such a GOOD innovation,” also finds DragonEmperor
