Game sharing is a highly desired feature for many on Sony’s next-gen console PlayStation 5. And it looks like this wish is coming true. New clues have now been found in the source code of the PS Store and in a game description.
Where does this info come from? From one source on Reddit and another from a fine print passage on the official PlayStation page for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – one of the launch titles for the PS5.
On Reddit, new findings in the source code of the official PS Store page were shared a few hours ago . On the Spider-Man page, they also directly address the game sharing of the PS5.
Miles Morales takes over from Peter Parker as Spidey on the PS5
Sharing games on the PS5 basically confirmed
The new info about game sharing on the PS5 reveals: The information extracted from the source code refers to the “console sharing and offline play” settings for PS Now games.
It states:
“If the ‘console sharing and offline play’ setting is enabled on your PS5, players who are over 18 years old and are not PS Now subscribers will be able to play PS Now games through the game icon (shown in the PS5 home menu) as well as through the PS Now app.”
For regular games, it shouldn’t look any different. Because on the new Spider-Man page, it also adds:
“You can download and play this content on your main PS5 console linked to your account (via the ‘console sharing and offline play’ setting) as well as on any other PS5 console when you log in with the same account there.”
The return of the feature on the PS5 is sure to please many
Thus, game sharing on the PS5 is basically confirmed and works just like on the PS4.
What is game sharing all about? It’s a very popular feature from the PS4 that many have wished for on the PS5. With this feature, as the name implies, it is possible to share games on a second console with others – for example, with family members or friends. The game doesn’t need to be purchased a second time.

The Twitch streamer “Hitbotc” reports that he has to move because his mother-in-law kicked him out. She said he was playing a “demonic game” and she doesn’t want that in her house.
Hitbotc reports: In a “Just Chatting” stream, the Twitch partner talked about an unexpected move. He and his wife were living at his mother-in-law’s house and he was streaming from there for over 40,000 followers.
The reason for the eviction is rather bizarre: The streamer primarily showed videos of Sea of Thieves and his mother-in-law had a problem with that game. She said it was a “demonic game” and she wouldn’t want it played in her house.
Since the streamer is mainly known for this game, he and his wife had to move.

How did this statement come about? No one can really explain it. In Sea of Thieves, it’s about pirates and their often nasty exploits, but the demon plays at most a minor role. You’re already dealing with trigger-happy skeletons that you meet in skull-shaped clouds. It is one of the best pirate MMOs.
Hitbotc also explains that his mother-in-law took him and his wife in because she was saving for a house build. Initially, living together went well, but now this problem has arisen.
In response to the article from Gamerant about this story, the streamer responded with the following statement: “Even though I do not agree with my mother-in-law, I still love her very much. I am so grateful for what she has done for me and my family by providing us with a place to stay during our move across the country.”
Viewers say: They take the streamer’s statements with surprise, but also with humor. Some of them even jokingly offer the streamer to stay with them.

In Genshin Impact, you need to meet requirements to play with friends in multiplayer co-op. Luckily, these are not too hard to achieve.
What is it about? Genshin Impact just launched recently, on September 27, on PC, PS4, and mobile devices. Right from the start, the free RPG has been celebrated by many players. You can control more than 20 different characters, explore the world and dungeons, solve puzzles, and fight world bosses. Players can hardly believe that the co-op RPG is free.
You can play the whole adventure and the search for your lost twin alone. If you want, you can also experience it in co-op with up to three other friends. However, this option is not available right at the beginning of the game. Multiplayer is a feature that needs to be unlocked.
Reach this rank: To unlock it, you should reach at least level 16 in Adventure Rank (Adventurer level). But don’t confuse this with your character’s level. Adventure Rank is tied to your account and can be checked in the menu next to your name.
You increase your Adventure Rank by completing quests. It may take a few hours until you reach level 16. If you try to invite friends before level 16, you will receive an error message.
Since this progress is tied to the account, you only need to achieve it once and can then play co-op with all characters you create.
Next steps: Once you have reached level 16 in Adventure Rank, you can invite up to three other players to join you on your adventures. Together, you can complete daily quests or hunt monsters and bosses in the open world.
If you want to play as successfully as possible, you can find the best characters in the tier list for Genshin Impact.
Inviting friends – Here’s how
Sending friend invitations: To invite friends, simply open the menu and select the “Friends” option. There you can see all your friends who are currently online on the same platform.
Crossplay in Genshin Impact – How does it work?
Crossplay with friends: If you want to play Genshin Impact with friends via crossplay, that is also possible. You need to add friends with their UID number, which can be found in the bottom right corner of the game screen.
Keep in mind that every friend you invite to multiplayer must have already reached level 16 in Adventure Rank.
Crossplay exists between PC, iOS/Android, and PS4 only if all players are on the same server (EU, NA, or Asia)
You cannot join other players’ worlds if their level (world level) is higher than yours
In Destiny 2 today, on the 29th of September, the weekly reset is back. Starting today, the Iron Banner lures with bonuses, but what else awaits the Guardians?
What is happening in Destiny 2? This Destiny week starts off calmly without an update or lengthy copying process. Bungie continues the “compensation bonuses” for the delay of Beyond Light and grants you triple experience gain in the Crucible.
Coincidentally, Lord Saladin appears in the Tower and will hold the next Iron Banner event of Season 11 until the 6th of October. So you can quickly level up PvP ranks this week and prepare yourself with rare mods and good armor for the DLC.
Even though major updates are planned for autumn, thanks to technical improvements everything is expected to run smoother and relieve your groaning hard drives:
For Strikes and story missions these modifiers are active:
Void Burn
Iron
Heavyweight
As always, the burn modifier remains the same for the entire week. The other modifiers rotate daily.
The Iron Lords are honored in the Crucible
Crucible: In PvP you can choose from these modes:
Iron Banner
Private Match (Core Playlist)
Rumble (Core Playlist)
Control (Core Playlist)
Team Scorched (Rotation Playlist)
Showdown (Rotation Playlist)
Elimination (Core Playlist)
Survival (Core Playlist)
Survival: Freelance (Core Playlist)
Classic Mix (Core Playlist)
Countdown: The following modifiers are active:
Solar Burn
Grenadier
Escalation Protocol: The weapons of the Escalation Protocol are available in the current version with additional perks and mod slots during the Contact Event and the Prophecy Dungeon. However, the armor is still only obtainable through the activity on Mars, but for some time now, also in the “Armor 2.0” variant.
You can find the current Flashpoint on Mercury.
Petra Venj can currently be found (Curse Week 3) for one week in the area “Rheasilvia” of the Dreaming City. Additionally, the 1st Ascendant Challenge is active.
These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 11 of Destiny 2
Here’s how Powerful Loot is organized in Destiny 2: There are several levels of Powerful Loot that grant you various power boosts. Accordingly, higher levels also grant higher power boosts.
Level 1 (up to +3 above the current power level)
Level 2 (up to +4 above the current power level)
Level 3 (up to +5 above the current power level)
Top-tier gear (+5 or more above the power level. The only gear that goes above 1050 and up to a maximum of 1060)
For your information: Power levels gained through the new artifact “Seed of Silver Wings” are not considered for the calculation of the power levels your drops. Here, the average of gear and weapons is crucial.

The release of Torchlight 3 will take place in October on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We will show you what the game has to offer and how it has performed so far in Early Access.
What’s new? After a few months in Early Access, it is now clear when the release of the action RPG Torchlight 3 will take place.
Torchlight 3 will be released on October 13, 2020, on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
The release for Nintendo Switch will take place later this year, with no exact date provided.
The price of Torchlight 3 will be $39.99.
Since June 2020, Torchlight 3 has been in Early Access. It had a disastrous launch on Steam and faced a lot of criticism. We will show you what to expect in the release version of Torchlight 3 and what the course of the game has been so far.
What to expect on the release of Torchlight 3
What to expect: As usual, you can expect hack and slash battles in Torchlight 3, similar to what you know from the ARPG series. Especially if you love playing with friends, the co-op mode for up to 4 players offers you that opportunity. You can even live in a large fort, if you earn it.
In three acts, you will play the story of the game with many quests and boss fights that you can also experience offline as a single-player.
According to different play styles, TL 3 offers you four classes.
Dusk Mage – The spellcasting class that uses light and darkness
Robot Smith – A robot with a large arsenal of weapons
Rail Fighter – A “locomotive-like powerhouse” that enters battle with a big hammer and a train
Sniper – The ranged fighter with precise skills and magical trinkets
A look at the classes in Torchlight 3
What is the story about? “Torchlight III takes place a century after the events of Torchlight II, where players defeated the Dark Alchemist and sealed the heart of the Netherlord within the clockwork core. The heroes brought peace to the world of Novastraia, but now the Emberstone Empire is on the brink of collapse, as the Netherim and their allies are back. To save Novastraia, players in Torchlight III must wisely and bravely seek glory, honor, and new adventures on the front line,” the official description states.
In conjunction with the release announcement, there is also new gameplay material:

A disastrous start: Right at the beginning, Torchlight 3 did not fare well on Steam. When we reported on it on June 15, two days after the release, 66% of the 2022 reviews on Steam were negative.
The combat system was too slow for players
The areas were too simple and linear
The character development felt uninspired and superficial to players
The higher difficulties only changed health points and damage from opponents but did not lead to more challenging behavior
At the end of June, we at MeinMMO took another close look at how things were developing for Torchlight 3. The Steam reviews rose from 34% positive to 43% positive. Players positively noted that the developers were listening to feedback. A major update was released on June 30, bringing more story, new locations, dungeons, and additional bosses and enemies into the game.
What do the ratings look like now? Overall, as of September 29, Torchlight 3 has 4770 ratings on Steam at 6:26 PM. Of those, 46% are positive. The 228 ratings from the last few days look even better, with 56% being positive.
Players write
The game still needs work, but is already fun
The classes are incredibly enjoyable
While different from the predecessors, it feels fresh because of that
Criticisms include
lags
disconnects
poor navigation in quests
the suboptimal support for gamepads
and the lack of ability to form quick groups in multiplayer
We are curious to see how Torchlight 3 performs at the official release. Are you going to check it out, or have you played it already?
EA Play comes to Xbox Game Pass! The news is already known, but now we know that this offer will be available on time for the release of the Xbox Series X.
What has been announced? EA Play will be available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on November 10. This offer includes EA Access and Origin Access and provides Game Pass users with some of the best EA games in subscription form. It was announced a few days ago, but at that time without a release date.
The release date applies not only to owners of the new Xbox Series X but also to all other Xbox consoles.
Therefore, it is now clear that the release of the Xbox Series X will also be a real highlight for all Game Pass users, as it will make the Game Pass even more exciting and worthwhile.
Top EA Games in Game Pass
This is included in EA Play: Over 60 games developed or supported by EA will make their way into the Game Pass. This includes titles such as:
How good will the Game Pass be? With the improved Game Pass, Microsoft could attract numerous players. There are already over 100 games in the Game Pass that come from Microsoft. Now over 60 more games are being added.
Doom Eternal and Forza Motorsport 7 will be released soon
What about PC players? If you want to enjoy Game Pass only on PC, you will have to wait a bit longer for EA Play. That feature is expected to be released in December, but you will receive the same benefits.
Why is the release date well chosen? EA Play is released directly on the launch day of the Xbox Series X. On that day, many new players will access Microsoft’s console.
If you can promote EA Play directly on launch day, it could attract numerous new customers.
The release of FIFA 21 is approaching rapidly. We have examined the Champions Edition and will tell you for whom it is worthwhile and whether you should pre-order it.
How to play FIFA 21 earlier: If you can’t wait any longer and want to secure an advantage over other Ultimate Team players, you want to start FIFA 21 as soon as possible.
First, this works with EA Play: The paid membership gives you the opportunity to try out FIFA 21 eight days before release. The catch: The total gameplay time before release is limited to ten hours.
You can only start without a time limit if you are a member of EA Play Pro. However, this version is only available on PC and is therefore of little interest to console players.
With these editions, you get early access to FIFA 21: Unrestricted early access to FIFA 21 can be obtained with the two special versions: the FIFA 21 Champions Edition or the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition.
Both versions are slightly more expensive than the standard version but allow you to start earlier in the new FIFA season. On October 6, which is 3 days before the release of FIFA 21, you can start with the special editions.
But is the extra cost worth it? We take a look at the Champions Edition and reveal what’s included and for whom it is worthwhile.
The FIFA 21 Champions Edition for PS4, Xbox One, and PC at a glance
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Release: 06.10.2020
Price: 89.99 € (PS4, Xbox One), 79.99 € (PC)
Pre-order: You can only get the Champions Edition digitally – for example, in the relevant stores for Xbox One (in the Microsoft Store), PS4 (in the PlayStation Store), and PC (in the Origin Store).
FIFA 21 Champions Edition
The contents of the Champions Edition:
The game “FIFA 21”
Early access starting October 6
Up to 12 Rare Gold Packs (1 per week for 12 weeks)
Cover star loan item (Kylian Mbappe) for 5 FUT matches
Career mode youth talent from your own academy with world-class potential
FUT Ambassador player selection (Choose 1 out of 3 player items for 3 FUT matches)
Special Edition FUT kits and stadium items
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What advantages does the FIFA 21 Champions Edition bring?
What does the extra cost bring? Compared to the standard version of FIFA 21, the Champions Edition is 25 euros more expensive. But what advantages does it offer? And for whom is this surcharge really worth it?
And how does it compare with the Ultimate Edition, which is the most expensive? In terms of gameplay and new features, all editions are identical.
The Champions Edition has its own cover
This is the main argument for the special versions
This is what players want the most: The main reason for purchasing the Champions Edition is likely the early access. With the early access, you can start three days earlier and even build an Ultimate Team while other players are still waiting for the official release.
This early access is also offered by the Ultimate Edition, which, however, costs another 10 euros more.
These bonuses are available in Ultimate Team
Both special editions offer: Both special editions provide identical FUT bonuses: Kylian Mbappe as a loan player for 5 matches and a FUT Ambassador as a loan player for 3 matches. Additionally, there are special kits and stadium items.
The only difference between the Ultimate and the cheaper Champions Edition lies in the number of Rare Gold Packs received:
FIFA 21 Champions Edition: 12 Rare Gold Packs
FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition: 24 Rare Gold Packs
Otherwise, both editions are identical in content. The OTW player that the Ultimate Edition had available for pre-orders until August 14 is no longer available.
Should I buy the Champions Edition or not?
Get the Champions Edition if you…
absolutely want to start on October 6.
are planning to invest real money in FIFA Points in packs anyway.
want the advantage of the extra packs. However, please note that you will not receive all packs at once.
are willing to spend 25 euros more for these benefits.
Only get the Ultimate Edition if you…
want to start on October 6.
absolutely want the 12 extra packs that only this version offers.
Instead, get the Standard Edition if you…
don’t necessarily have to start earlier in FIFA 21.
have no interest in FUT.
don’t want an exclusively digital version of the game.
What about you? Do you value the benefits in FUT and an early start in FIFA 21? Which version of FIFA 21 will you choose?

In Counter-Strike Global Offensive, there is a huge cleanup operation. Since 2017, coaches in e-sports for CS:GO have allegedly been cheating by exploiting a bug. It is already being referred to as “The Purge,” the great cleansing. However, the 37 coaches are apparently just the tip of the iceberg.
How did they cheat? The e-sports referee Michal Slowinski explains the exploit. Essentially, on a map at a certain spot, one can “bug” in such a way that one can move freely over the map like in spectator mode.
This allows players to see exactly how the opponent is playing and pass that information to their team in CS:GO. The camera can be moved freely.
Knowing exactly where the opponent is and how they proceed offers enormous advantages.

This “spectator” bug has somehow been in CS:GO since at least 2017 and has circulated in the scene. Allegedly, coaches have stumbled upon this bug by chance over and over again. Some coaches have dutifully reported the exploit to tournament organizers. Others, however, have apparently exploited it.
Cheater situation has been pending for a month
This is what was known so far: A month ago, at the beginning of September 2020, the ESL issued bans against 3 pro coaches who had exploited the bug. The coaches received bans of up to 2 years.
Even then, it was clear: the situation with the 3 bans is not over but is just beginning.
The ESL then stated, “Guys, if you also cheated, come forward; everything is being investigated now.”
CS:GO is targeting cheaters.
So it is now: The “Esports Integrity Commission” has now presented its investigation. They have to review 15 terabytes of material and have received nearly 100,000 demos from ESEA and HLTV. They are only 20% through with the review.
The good news is: Evidence of cheating has been found in only 0.1% of the demos.
The bad news: With the large amount of data, that is still quite a lot. In the meantime, further penalties have been imposed on 37 coaches from CS:GO. The penalties and offenses are listed in a table (via esic).
The final report is expected at the end of October.
The bans range from 3 months in the lightest case up to 3 years: Someone extensively exploited the bug.
One ban of a coach who had already been punished a month ago has now been extended: MechanoGun, who was previously banned for two years, is now the coach who has been banned for 3 years. His team “Hard Legion” had already released him.
Those who are banned are not allowed to have contact with their team 15 minutes before match start. They cannot be physically near the match, must leave the server and Discord, and cannot interfere with the map selection.

Coach admits to cheating, receives 60% discount on his penalty
How to deal with this now? In the CS:GO community, at HLTV, the action against the coaches is already being called “The Purge” – the great cleansing. The incidents have been occupying the community for 4 weeks now. Individual coaches have repeatedly come forward, stating that they also used the bug. More and more horror reports have emerged regarding how many would be affected.
Some coaches had already confessed behind closed doors. They received milder penalties.
Coach “guerri” from FURIA was supposed to receive a penalty of 10 months. However, because he confessed earlier, 6 months of his penalty were waived. guerri is now satisfied with his ban. He is glad to have that behind him.

The issue has been concerning CS:GO for weeks – Which coach is guilty?
Teams are dealing with coaches differently:
Some teams want to continue working with their coaches and support them. The team OG Esports stated that they wanted to give their coach a second chance (via twitter)
Other teams, however, have immediately parted ways with their coaches.
The commission states: There is no way to determine whether the teams and players of the convicted coaches knew what was going on. Therefore, they urge fans not to speculate.
In a statement, the commission says: They understand how tough the revelations are for many in the CS:GO community but believe it is ultimately for the best for the game and esports to confront these problems sincerely.
In any case, it is a drastic development that calls the integrity of 3 years of esports into question.
Cheaters are a constant annoyance in CS:GO esports.
CS:GO is a shooter that has traditionally been associated with cheating. This has been the case since time immemorial and is no different in 2020. It is important for all esports athletes and viewers that CS:GO feels secure and fair. Those who cheat will always have in mind whether they will eventually be found out.
Because ultimately, the misconduct haunts the cheaters:
In the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, you have the choice between the two main characters Lumine and Aether. In this case, the girl Lumine is favored in the community. But does it really make a difference which twin you choose?
In the co-op RPG Genshin Impact, you have the choice between two main characters. These are the twins Lumine and Aether, a girl and a boy.
Here, players’ personal preference clearly leans towards the female heroine. Ultimately, it’s more about personal taste. Which twin you choose is actually not that important. We from MeinMMO will tell you what we know about the siblings.
The sweet Lumine (left) is a fan favorite
The agony of choice with the main character
What can the main characters do? Ultimately, it is completely up to you which of the two twins you choose. Lumine and Aether have the same story as well as the same abilities. Both fight with a sword and elemental attacks, and their stats are the same at the start:
Max HP – 912
Attack – 41
Defense – 57
Max Stamina – 100
Which of the two you choose is therefore a matter of personal taste, as you will have to watch their back all the time. And if you did make the wrong choice, you can still switch to your new characters.
Fischl is a very strong character in Genshin Impact
What is the background? The story of Genshin Impact begins with a cutscene and both twins. They encounter a rather hostile goddess during their journey through the dimensions, who promptly attacks them.
Then you come into play and have to choose one of the two twins during the battle. The other will be kidnapped by the goddess, and you will be left alone.
As you might guess, you then try to find your only family member with the chosen protagonist. You can freely name your character and unlock new companions on your journey. We from MeinMMO will also tell you which of these characters are the best.

Later this year, you will be able to connect Pokémon GO with Pokémon HOME. We will show you what benefits this brings.
What’s new: The developers of Pokémon GO, Niantic, provided an important update about a feature today, on September 29.
Pokémon HOME was first announced in February. However, it has been quite quiet on the topic since the announcement. Now it is known that it will collaborate with Pokémon GO later this year.
What is Pokémon HOME? The service allows you to manage your monsters from all current Pokémon games in a cloud. You can:
trade globally with other players
store them there
or transfer them from one game to another.
What changes for you in Pokémon GO due to Pokémon HOME
What does this bring? Once the integration is available, there will be limited-time events in Pokémon GO focused on specific Pokémon. You will be able to activate a Mystery Box after you have sent a Pokémon from GO to Pokémon HOME. If you open the box during the Celebration event, you can encounter Shiny Meltan.
The chance to catch the Shiny Meltan was previously available in the game but only for a limited time. Currently, you cannot catch a Shiny Meltan. With the new event, Shiny hunters will finally get the chance again.
When the Celebration event will take place is still unclear. Niantic will provide more details later.
More new Shinys? With the launch of Pokémon HOME more Shiny forms of Formeo appeared. So far, you could only catch the Shiny of the normal form of Formeo in Pokémon GO. However, not the sun, snow, and rain forms.
Will these 3 Shinys come to Pokémon GO soon?
The three new Shiny forms are basically the figurehead of the HOME service. It is possible that they will find their way to Pokémon GO through the new integration later this year. This also aligns with the data mining findings. Because recently, the 3 new Shiny forms of Formeo have appeared in the game data of Pokémon GO.
An exact date for when the integration of Pokémon HOME and GO will take place is not yet known. Official sources state that it should happen “later this year.” We are already excited to see what the Celebration event for this feature will look like.

The director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV is also working on the latest main installment in the series: Final Fantasy XVI. However, he does not intend to neglect his MMORPG because of this.
This is the situation: A few weeks ago, Square Enix announced the continuation of their main series with Final Fantasy XVI. The game is being directed by Naoki Yoshida and his Creative Business Unit III.
Yoshida is also responsible for the MMORPG FFXIV. There he simultaneously holds the roles of director and producer, so he is quite busy.
Accordingly, the question arose for many players regarding how Yoshida’s priorities would now be distributed in development.
What did Yoshida say? During the Tokyo Game Show stream, Yoshida shared a few words about his work on the two major games.
In response to a question from co-developer Yoko Taro about whether FFXVI content would also be shown in the stream, Yoshida laughed and said:
No, today in the program there is only FFXIV […] We want to focus on the development of FFXIV until 2021.[…]
Yoshida during the TGS
Apart from a teaser page, we should not expect any major news about FFXVI before 2021. However, FFXIV has a lot of content in the pipeline.
What is still planned for FFXIV until the end of 2020?
What’s next in October: For FFXIV, several major content updates are expected before the end of 2020. The first of these goes online on October 13.
It will continue the questline regarding the Bozjan South Front, where players can further enhance their “Queen’s Weapons.” They are the Shadowbringers equivalent to the relic weapons from earlier expansions.
In the Bozjan update, players can expect large instanced battles involving up to 72 participants. In addition to weapon upgrades, there will also be other rewards such as mounts and companions.
During the upcoming producer live stream on October 9, we will surely learn more about it and see gameplay footage.
Yoshida explained in the TGS stream that this update was slightly delayed. The reason for this was that the development team took a break during this time.
Normally, the break would have occurred in the summer, but that was not possible. Due to the corona lockdown, the team was already behind schedule with the major patch 5.3 and wanted to complete that as quickly as possible.
What’s next in December: Additionally, Yoshida provided a rough timeframe for the release of the next major content patch 5.4 during the TGS stream: The team is aiming for a release in December 2020.
This patch will, as always, continue the story of FFXIV, which now builds up to the next expansion. In addition, the final part of the Eden raid will be released.
Players will experience the conclusion of the Eden story and will be able to obtain new powerful equipment from the regular and epic boss battles.
Gaia is the key NPC in the Eden raid storyline
What else is planned? Originally, the first of the three fan festivals for FFXIV was supposed to take place in November. However, due to corona, both the event in the USA and the one in Japan have already been canceled. Europe is currently still uncertain, even though it is supposed to take place at the end of February 2021.
Traditionally, new expansions of FFXIV are introduced at these fan festivals. The team has been known for a while to be working on the next expansion.
However, it is still unclear how exactly it will be presented to the players. Square Enix could follow the example of other fairs and festivals, such as gamescom 2020 or BlizzConline by Blizzard, and hold a purely online event.
Whether they will actually do that or find another solution remains to be seen.

Steven “Boogie2988” Williams has nearly 5 million subscribers on YouTube and is considered an important commentator in the gaming space. He has now become embroiled in a feud with another YouTuber, Frank Hassle. This escalated after Hassle came to Boogie’s house and insulted him there. Boogie fired a warning shot from a gun at him.
The individuals involved are:
Steven “Boogie2988” Williams (46) has been active on YouTube since 2006. He became known for the character “Francis”, a parody character: A mega-nerd who rambles about all sorts of things.
Boogie has long been a major YouTuber and has shared his turbulent life with fans over the years. He has struggled with his weight, had gastric bypass surgery, gone through a divorce, and deals with some mental health issues.
Boogie2988: With a parody of the typical nerd, he became a famous YouTuber.
Frank Hassle is a significantly smaller content creator who is currently banned from YouTube. He is a troll of the hard kind: His content consists of harassing people and amusing himself over their reactions.
Daniel “Keemstar” Keem is a third YouTuber who acts as a host and tournament organizer, covering current topics from the community while gladly pouring gasoline on any fire he can find. His main show is called “Drama Alert” and lives up to the name.
This is how it looked in the interview: (from left) Boogie, Keemstar, Frank Hassle. Source: Storyfire
Boogie has felt harassed by Hassle for 3 months
This is how the feud unfolded: For three months, Boogie has been targeted by Frank Hassle. Hassle has made a joke out of suggesting he would go to Boogie’s home, ring his doorbell, and then do God-knows-what with him.
The YouTube star warned him that if he did that, he would shoot at him. He suffers from an anxiety disorder. Frank Hassle is threatening him. Boogie will protect himself, his property, and his loved ones with the weapon.
Hassle finds this incredibly funny, and every threat seems to only egg him on more.
The roles were clearly defined: Frank Hassle was the aggressor – Boogie from the beginning was on the defensive and in the victim role.

How the feud actually began is not entirely clear. Allegedly, Hassle blames the YouTube star for his own channel being banned on YouTube.
However, Boogie denies this and stated that Hassle had already written on Reddit at the very beginning that he wanted to come to his home. Hassle denies this again.
Boogie says: He did not have Hassle’s channel deleted. He is really tired of being the victim.
Apparently, fans have further fueled this conflict: Boogie is someone who currently reacts sensitively to harassment. Frank Hassle is someone who mercilessly harasses people. Apparently, some found it funny to pit one against the other.
“Go ahead, you pussy”
This happened just before the shot: The dispute escalated further on social media. Keemstar got wind of the matter and invited both to a video interview on his show “Drama Alert”. They both hyped each other up even more:
Frank Hassle hinted that he was already “in Boogie’s town” and would come by soon
Boogie said on one hand, he should definitely not do that. Hassle triggers an anxiety disorder in him. Boogie said he hadn’t slept for 24 hours. Hassle triggers his post-traumatic stress disorder, and that is all driving him crazy. On the other hand, he also said: He should come by – then he would end Frank Hassle’s life.
The interview was so explosive that Keemstar decided not to publish it right away. He was apparently concerned about Boogie’s mental state, who seemed distressed in the show and made multiple threats.
Ultimately, both had talked themselves into a no-win situation with their public statements: Both had threatened each other and urged the other to carry out the threat.
Apparently, neither wanted to back down now.
Even after the interview, they continued discussing. Boogie calls Hassle a pussy and says “Come on, come on.” He repeatedly threatens to kill him, while Hassle finds this roaringly funny. Keemstar tries to calm Boogie, saying he must realize what kind of troll Hassle is and that the reaction only further eggs him on.

This image of Boogie with the weapon was shared last night shortly before 11 PM.
This is how it ended: There are now recordings of Frank Hassle showing up at Boogie’s house and continuing to insult him there. He stands at the front door, rings the bell, yells insults, and calls Boogie cowardly and fat. Hassle demands: “He should shoot” and carry out his threat.
Then you can hear Boogie actually firing a warning shot.
There are only audio recordings of the shot, but apparently, Hassle is indeed impressed by the warning shot and finally leaves the property. Hassle seems unable to believe that Boogie actually has a weapon. The two continue to insult each other further, but the fire is a bit out.
This is what Boogie says now: In a video, Boogie portrays the other as a “stalker”. He was only defending himself. He uses this as an example of why you should never go to a YouTuber’s house. Someone could have seriously been harmed during the incident.
He cannot say much more about it, as it is now an ongoing police investigation.
Boogie says he has more recordings of the incident, cannot show them on YouTube, but has turned them over to the authorities.
Boogie apparently now wants to sue Hassle and issue him a restraining order, prohibiting Hassle from coming near him (via twitter).

This is what it is about: When you watch the interview with the two, you can see how difficult the situation is (via storyfire):
Boogie apparently has mental health issues and keeps warning people to leave him alone. He sounds like someone who is cornered and sees no way out. He repeatedly calls Hassle a liar and says his accusations are totally unfounded – but that hardly bothers Hassle.
On the other hand, Frank Hassle keeps laughing and shows absolutely no empathy. He presents himself as someone who finds all of this incredibly funny and who cannot be touched anyway. He stands for everything that is funny, and this is just hilarious.
Even Keemstar seems to find the situation increasingly uncomfortable, which he has created. He tries to be objective.
From a German perspective, it is quite irritating that Boogie presents it as the most normal thing in the world to shoot at intruders with a weapon. In Germany, one would urgently advise calling the authorities in such a case and not taking the law into one’s own hands.
A fan once broke into their home.
It seems to be a real danger for YouTubers that fans show up at their homes. In 2018, this happened to a YouTube couple. A mentally disturbed fan was apparently in love with the woman and drove 11 hours to their home. The intruder then died during a shootout with the police:
The new champion in LoL (League of Legends) was initially way too strong and has a crazy deep passive ability. In the past, champions in LoL were significantly easier to understand, as a comparison shows.
Who is it about? Samira has only been active in League of Legends for a few days. She came into the game as the new ADC in Patch 10.19 and was really strong right from the start. Even too strong. On day one, she had to be nerfed by Riot Games via a hotfix.
The developers reduced her base health points and her ultimate became weaker. However, anyone who wants to start playing her and understand the character must first wade through a lot of text. This was not the case with older champions at all.
Samira’s complex ability compared to other champions
The passive ability is that complicated: LoL champions are often equipped with 4 abilities. A fifth is passive. In Samira’s case, the peculiarity is that she can equip herself with guns or swords, making her either a melee or ranged fighter. With each hit on an enemy champion, she increases her style ranking from “E” to “S”. However, each hit must differ from the previous one for the rank to increase.
The higher you are in the style rank, the faster you move with Samira. Once you reach rank “S”, you can activate the strong ultimate ability.
To do this, Samira throws enemies into the air when they have been hit by hard CC within a certain range.
This passive ability also has some details that players need to consider. On Samira’s page on Fandom.com, the passive ability is explained as follows:
All three champions compared, Dr. Mundo, Kassadin, and Sivir, were released early in LoL – They were released in 2009. At that time, such simple mechanics were still a unique feature.
However, over time, more and more new champions have been introduced to the MOBA. By now, in September 2020, we have reached 151 heroes in LoL. For the new characters to find a place in LoL, they must be unique. The developers had to move away from the simplicity of attacks. And this is evident, among other things, in Samira’s passive ability.
It gets more complex: The mechanics with which new champions are now released in the game are more complex than with some “old” champions.

The ADC Aphelios comes with 5 weapons that affect his abilities
Players are noticing this as well and are posting memes as comparisons:

The player jokes that he is still busy reading the long descriptive text of Aphelios’ passive ability.
How does this affect? Especially for casuals, this is a significant shift in LoL. Those who logged in before and tried out a new champion like the bomb-throwing Ziggs quickly got the hang of it through trial and error. Q throws an AOE bomb, W throws a detonator that can be activated again with a second press, and so on.
Today, you read through the descriptions of the champions and immediately face many more situations and niches that you have to understand first.

What’s new in CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone: Today, on September 29, 2020, at 8:00 AM, the new Season 6 has launched in Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale Warzone.
We have summarized the most important details and information for you:
What’s the deal with the new Battle Pass? The new season brings plenty of new content, such as maps and modes, but also a new Battle Pass with a total of 100 Tiers is traditionally included.
This offers a free reward branch that is free for all players and where you can unlock all gameplay-relevant items, such as the new base weapons.
However, there is also a paid premium branch that costs €10 or 1,000 CoD points and offers more cosmetic rewards. This will earn you a reward at each of the 100 Tiers.
Additionally, there is also a season pass bundle for 2,400 CoD points, which not only provides access to the premium branch but also allows for 20 tier skips.
But what kind of rewards are in Season 6?
What the new Battle Pass for Season 6 offers
You receive this immediately upon purchase: If you purchase the new Battle Pass for Season 6 – whether for €10 or the large bundle – the following will be unlocked directly upon purchase:
Farah as a new operator with the Halmasti skin
The Poloski skin for Minotaur
A new blueprint for the AK assault rifle
Along with XP boost tokens
With the purchase of the Battle Pass bundle, you also get the 20 tier skips on top.
Here are all the rewards from the new Battle Pass in the video: If you purchase the Battle Pass, you will receive a reward at all 100 tiers. If you don’t spend money, there are rarer free unlockable rewards, but all gameplay-relevant items are available.
You can see all the rewards in a compact video summary here. Items marked with “Free” are also available without premium access:

These are some highlights from the Battle Pass of Season 6: The new Battle Pass has some cool items to offer again. We have summarized the biggest highlights here for you, which you should take a closer look at:
At Tier 5, there is a screwdriver as a melee weapon
At Tier 15, you can unlock the first new weapon – the new DMR SP-R 208 (essentially it’s the R700 sniper as a DMR)
At Tier 18, there is a cool new finishing move – the bat “Edward” that you can scare your opponents with
At Tier 31, you can unlock the 2nd new weapon – the automatic rifle AS VAL
At Tier 50, there’s a cool operator skin with a German look
At Tier 55, a nice blueprint for the crossbow is waiting for you
At Tier 85, you can unlock a stylish weapon blueprint for the new SP-R 208
Tier 93 offers a sleek hologram watch
Finally, waiting at the last Battle Pass tier, among other things, are the new operator Nikolai and a cool weapon blueprint for the new AS VAL
In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Eneco starts today, on September 29. The event is finally getting exciting again.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. For one hour, a special Pokémon is in the spotlight, and a bonus rounds it off.
Spotlight Hour with Eneco – Here’s what you can expect
When does the event take place? It starts today at 6:00 PM local time. The bonuses will be active for one hour.
What bonuses are there? Eneco will appear significantly more frequently for an hour, and the overall spawns are increased. Additionally, there will be double Stardust for catching Pokémon.
This is probably the best bonus of a Spotlight Hour, as Stardust is the most important resource in the game.
Is there Shiny Eneco? Yes! You can also catch the monster in its shiny form. However, you need to look a bit closer, as Shiny Eneco is only slightly lighter than the normal form.
That’s why it’s good again: Last week there was nothing good. Habitak was in the spotlight, couldn’t be Shiny, and there was a disappointing XP bonus for evolving monsters.
This week is looking much better. With Eneco, there’s a possible Shiny, which hasn’t been in the game for that long. Some trainers should still be missing the shiny version.
There’s also the double Stardust, which you can even turn into triple Stardust with a Star Piece.
So there’s a useful Pokémon and a good bonus. These are both things that were not available last week.
A company has disassembled an unofficial PS5 DualSense Controller. Here, for the first time, you can see the features and the battery.
Who is behind it? Evzen Elite Technology manufactures various custom controllers, including a DualShock 4 controller and an upgrade kit. The manufacturer describes itself as a “specialist in high-performance controllers” (via Evzen-Elite.com).
Evzen Elite has now posted on Instagram how they disassembled the unofficial DualSense controller:
For the first time, you can see what the new controller actually looks like from the inside.
Gameplay with the DualSense: In action, the controller could already be seen earlier, as journalist Geoff Keighly had the opportunity to test the PS5 DualSense controller during the Summer Game Fest 2020:
PS5 DualSense Teardown Shows Features of the New Controller
This is what you see on the outside: Some things that can be seen were already known beforehand:
You can clearly see the USB-C port in the pictures, which replaces the Micro-USB port of the DualShock 4.
The pictures also show the surface of the controller, which is designed for better grip.
This is what the pictures of the disassembled controller look like. The white rectangle on the circuit board (top left) on the controller is for example the microphone.
This is what you see on the inside:
At the bottom, you can also recognize the USB-C port that was seen on another picture from the outside.
The thumbsticks of the controller are firmly connected to the (green) circuit board like in the DualShock 4 and are very similar in construction to the thumbsticks of the DualShock 4.
It is also noticeable that the black front panel, in which the thumbsticks are seated, can also be removed.
One of the photos also shows us the adaptive triggers. The adaptive triggers are supposed to provide a particularly intense gaming experience with their haptic feedback (via GamePro.de). The controller can block the R2 triggers to indicate that the weapon is jammed. And games like Horizon Forbidden West are also expected to utilize the adaptive triggers for simulating firearms.
The built-in microphone can be recognized on the circuit board as a small rectangular (white) box.
Image source: fixit.com – For comparison of the DualShock 4: Here you remove the entire front panel of the controller.
PS5 games only work with the DualSense: Sony also explained why the DualShock controller does not work with PS5 games: For the new features of PS5 games, you need the PS5 DualSense controller absolutely.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
With Season 6 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone come a few new weapons to the game: the assault rifle AS VAL and the DMR SP-R 208. Find out here how to unlock them.
What kind of weapons are these? Just like with the last 5 Battle Passes, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone also with Season 6 get fresh, new rifles:
AS VAL: Soviet assault rifle from the late 80s – has built-in silencers in all barrels
SP-R 208: The DMR resembles the American bolt-action rifle Remington 700
With this, the 13th assault rifle comes to the current CoD. This could be particularly exciting for Warzone, as most assault rifles offer wide versatility and “all-round weapons” are particularly in demand in the Battle Royale. Find out here how to get them.
Battle Pass Season 6 brings 2 new weapons to CoD
How do I get the guns? You can unlock the new rifles through the Season 6 Battle Pass. They are part of the free rewards branch, and even if you don’t purchase the Battle Pass for 1,000 CoD points, you will receive the items once you complete the respective level:
DMR Foxtrot – SP-R 208 at level 15
Assault rifle Mike – AS VAL at level 31
Once you have completed the specified level, you can use the weapons for your arsenal. You should plan 45 – 60 minutes of playtime for one level of the Battle Pass. Whether the Pass is worth it for you can be read here:
Can I get them faster? If you want the weapons without starting the big Battle Pass grind, you basically have 3 options:
Play during the next double XP event
Buy a bundle for CoD points in the shop
Skip Battle Pass tiers with so-called Tier Skips
With a double XP event, you only need half the normal time, as you earn double the points for the Battle Pass. Pay attention during the events that “Battle Pass Tiers” are really doubled. Sometimes there is only double weapon or account XP.
You can also purchase a paid bundle with the weapon in the shop. Select the gun in the weapon selection, and to the right of the field with the weapon, another field opens that says “Shop”. If you click on it, you will come to a bundle that contains the weapon. However, you only get the weapon configuration from the bundle – you cannot freely equip the weapon with attachments.
For the third option, you would need to shell out a hefty chunk of cash. Using “Tier Skips,” you could unlock the entire Battle Pass immediately. This would cost 15,000 CoD points, which, depending on the points package, is up to 150,- €. For the weapons, you need:
SP-R 208 – 2,250 CoD points for 15 tiers (just over 20,- €)
AS VAL – 4,650 CoD points for 31 tiers (between 40,- & 50,- €)
The Battle Pass brings over 100 in-game items to unlock.
However, after an initial round in a private game, it is noticeable that the AS VAL feels more like an SMG, with a high rate of fire and vertical recoil upwards. For Warzone, this piece may be less exciting, as the magazine only holds a maximum of 30 rounds, which is somewhat too small for Battle Royale. Perhaps an interesting small 10-round magazine will increase penetration and change the fire mode to semi-automatic.
The DMR SP-R 208 looks at first glance like a mix between the Kar 98k and the MK2 Carbine. The shots feel more powerful than the carbine, but not as penetrating as the Kar. Moreover, the SP-R offers a colorful selection of attachments, which should make it suitable for different applications.
Judging by first impressions, the two new guns are not necessarily among the best weapons in Warzone. But how they will actually perform will only become apparent in the coming days. Until then, MeinMMO wishes you a cheerful “Battle Pass” leveling.

The co-op RPG Genshin Impact has published the probabilities for 5-star characters and weapons. Those hoping for the most valuable items must be blessed by luckor open a lot of boxes.
In this game, you travel through a colorful fantasy world in anime style. From Adventure Rank 16, you can team up with up to 3 other players. This allows you to do RPG-typical things like complete quests, conquer dungeons, or take down bosses.
You can acquire new characters either for free or through the gacha system. Through the loot boxes, you can obtain characters and weapons with a value of 4 or 5 stars, but the probability is extremely low.

This is what it looks like with the gachas in Genshin Impact
First play the gacha lottery
The co-op RPG is free to play and naturally needs to finance itself somehow. A loot box system is certainly an option for this, although it is controversial in the gaming community.
How likely are the characters? To get new heroes and weapons, you need to purchase the premium currency Primogems. You can also earn them by completing certain quests or through a monthly subscription. With Primogems, you can then buy boxes, the contents of which you obviously do not know.
However, the chances of getting the rare characters and weapons are vanishingly low. These numbers are officially confirmed by Genshin Impact:
The probability of a character or weapon with 5 stars is 0.6%
For 4 stars, it is at least 5.1%
And then you have a 0.6% chance of getting a random 5-star character or weapon. So if you want a specific character, it could take a very long time or become very expensive.
The anime-style characters are colorful and versatile in their abilities
Is there a way out? However, Genshin Impact has something called the pity system or a pity pull. This means that with every 10th pull, you are guaranteed a 4-star character or weapon. For the more valuable 5-star items, it is every 90th pull. So you should have enough gems to reach your guaranteed item.
Otherwise, there is unfortunately no way out. However, beta players reported that it is not necessary to obtain new characters and weapons through loot boxes. The items you receive while playing are more than sufficient. However, over time, this may become boring for some.
The community takes it with humor
In the community, Genshin Impact is well received. However, the issue with the gachas in the Genshin Impact subreddit is a big topic. Here, people discuss and joke about the pain and despair that come with such a loot box. The community is divided but takes it with dark humor.

Besides all the memes on Reddit, the topic is unfortunately a nuisance for some players. Many free-to-play games have this problem: The question arises whether Genshin Impact employs a pay-to-win system or not. The real influence of characters and weapons will likely only become apparent over time.

With Floor 100, a new MMORPG on Steam reminiscent of the anime Sword Art Online is expected in early 2021. You are trapped in a virtual reality MMORPG and must escape.
What is Floor 100? The online RPG is played from a 2D iso perspective, thus resembling games on the SNES. You can choose whether to be a warrior, scout, or cleric and further enhance your hero with a second and third class.
In addition to battles against monsters and exploring dungeons, there are activities such as fishing, cooking, herbalism, forging, and alchemy. Housing also plays an important role. There will also be PvP and large events.
The MMORPG Floor 100 visually resembles SNES games.
What makes Floor 100 special? The online role-playing game, which will be released on Steam, follows a similar principle to the anime Sword Art Online. Your character is stuck in a virtual reality MMORPG and must find a way to escape.
To do this, you fight your way through 100 worlds, called 100 floors. At the end of each world, a dangerous boss enemy awaits you. If you manage to defeat it, you will travel to the next world. There, you improve your hero further to take on the next boss. This way, you continually progress until you find the exit after 100 worlds.
How does the multiplayer work? You are certainly not alone in the MMORPG. It is possible to team up with other players. This improves your chances – especially in boss fights.
However, there is also rivalry among players. It is about earning special rewards by being the strongest, fastest, prettiest, or richest player in the respective world.
You must therefore try to fight your way up the leaderboards.
When will the game be released? Floor 100 is scheduled to launch on January 16, 2021, via Steam. The website mentions a cash shop, indicating a free-to-play release.
