Marvel’s Avengers is not likely to run out of content anytime soon. According to a data miner, there are still plenty of upcoming updates in the game, including a first raid that supposedly takes place in Wakanda. There are also hints of more heroes, including variants of existing heroes. This means you might be able to play multiple versions of the same hero in the same team.
This is what the data miner says: Sanders Presents is a data miner who has been digging through the data of the PC beta. During this process, he found some new features and content that is likely still to come to the game. At the start of his presentation, he shows a list of unlockable heroes. Among these, besides the already known heroes, are a number of other well-known Marvel characters that are expected to come:
Ant-Man
Captain Marvel
Black Panther
Dr. Strange
Falcon
Kate Bishop
Hawkeye
Mar-Vell
Mocking Bird
Scarlet Witch
She-Hulk
Vision
War Machine
Wasp
Winter Soldier
Even more exciting than these new characters is the idea that some of these heroes could serve as dopplegangers.

The findings of the data miner.
Echo or Doppleganger Heroes – What Could Be Behind It
What are Echo Heroes? An interesting concept that emerges here as an idea from the data miner is the notion of so-called echo heroes. The term comes from the game Smash Bros Ultimate and refers to characters that are very similar and play almost the same.
Hawkeye is definitely coming soon as a DLC hero.
Since in Marvel’s Avengers each hero can only appear once in a co-op mission, the echo system would be a sensible addition. If She-Hulk were an alternate version of Hulk, you could play her alongside the regular Hulk and then throw the ultimate Hulk party.
The same goes for heroes like Wasp, Mar-Vell, and War Machine, who could each reflect Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man.
Raid Coming After Launch – Is It Going to Wakanda for Black Panther?
Also in the code was a hint about the first raid in Marvel’s Avengers. According to the clues from the code, it is likely to take place in Wakanda. This is the hidden African kingdom of Black Panther, where the wonder metal Vibranium comes from.
What’s still in Marvel’s Avengers: Those who think that Avengers is just a simple brawler are mistaken. Read in our article about game depth that Marvel’s Avengers has much more role-playing depth than one might think at first glance. Builds and roles are a firm part of the gameplay.

Destiny 2 is currently changing right before your eyes and no one notices it. Because soon half of the universe will disappear, the characters have to pack moving boxes diligently.
This is happening now: In Destiny 2, the big Autumn expansion Beyond Light has been postponed and the ongoing Season 11 extended. The players thought that there was a standstill for now, but we just haven’t looked closely enough – half of the universe is busily preparing for a momentous event.
If you visit the Tower hangar and look around near Saint-14, there are large containers and other supplies. Even on the planets Io, Mars, as well as Titan and Mercury, it looks like a logistics company due to the numerous boxes.
Behind this is the great evacuation, which forces the NPCs to pack, and this has probably been happening quietly for weeks. Destiny 2 is thus refocusing on storytelling through the changing game world.
The Destiny universe is packing its things – Source: Forbes
The highlight of this type of storytelling culminated last season in a live event, where a massive fleet ship was erased at the last second.
That’s why half of the universe is moving in Destiny 2
This is what the evacuation is all about: In Destiny 2, huge changes are coming. The Darkness has arrived after 6 years and is showing its strength. With the release of the expansion in Autumn, the enemy will then swallow entire planets – content will thus (temporarily) leave the game.
Of course, Guardians leave no one behind and rescue the NPCs at these locations. As part of a quest, we said goodbye to the planets and warned the affected characters. All the boxes and containers are indeed moving boxes.
What happens next? The preparation for the evacuation has gone unnoticed for some weeks but is still not complete.
Compared to the other locations, Ana on Mars seems not to have packed all her belongings yet. It is conceivable that with today’s reset, the preparations on Mars will be completed as well. Will the evacuation then go into high gear next week?
Is Ana coming to Zavala in the Tower soon and taking Cayde’s place?
We can assume that we will soon be able to welcome a bunch of our allies in the Tower. The only question is whether Ana will bring the dangerous Rasputin with her. But surely her move will take longer, as how do you pack such a machine god?

In a passive-aggressive tweet, the CEO of Epic, the company behind Fortnite, praised the competing game PUBG Mobile. This is likely another cheeky jab at Apple, which is still in dispute with Epic over the distribution of Fortnite on iOS.
What was said? Tim Sweeney is the CEO of Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite. Games like PUBG are therefore competitors. Nevertheless, Sweeney recently wrote on Twitter:
“While we wait for Fortnite to be freed on iOS and Mac, you have another great battle royale game with Unreal Engine here!”

What PUBG Mobile has to do with Epic: The reason for the passive-aggressive praise from the CEO is likely that PUBG – like many other games – was developed with the Unreal Engine. This engine is made by Epic, and there are regular updates and adjustments made to the engine.
Even PUBG Mobile runs on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine.
Without developer tools, supporting the engine and the games based on it would be very difficult, and many studios would get into serious trouble.
Apple surely has known this for a long time, but with his tweet, Sweeney further fuels the ongoing PR battle against Apple. Epic makes headlines almost weekly, with the latest being when they silently brought a skin as the last update to the iOS Fortnite, which literally “mocked” Apple’s CEO.

In Pokémon GO, the Mega Weeks are now starting. They bring 2 new Shinies and further Mega Evolutions. We will show you the bonuses in summary.
What is happening? At the release of the Mega Evolutions, it was announced that there will be 3 events waiting for you in September. Now the details are known.
The focus is of course on the Mega Evolutions, and you will unlock new Megas when you complete challenges.
Event for Mega-Raids brings Mega-Pidgeot
When does the event start? The event has already started! Since September 1st at 8:00 AM local time, you can benefit from the bonuses. The event runs until September 7th at 10:00 PM local time.
These are the bonuses: All trainers must complete a total of two million Mega Raids. Then Mega-Pidgeot will be unlocked in Pokémon GO. These additional bonuses are waiting for you:
Mega Raids can be found more frequently in Pokémon GO
The attack bonus from friends is increased in raids
Field research focusing on raids can be found. Among other things, you will receive Mega Energy for Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise
In the wild, the following Pokémon will appear more frequently: Abra, Magnemite, Pidgey, Rhyhorn, Tangela, Electabuzz, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, Murkrow, Treecko, Torchic, Roselia, and Lotad
These are the quests: There are a total of 6 special field researches in the event. They are:
Fight in a raid
Reward: 500 stardust
Win a raid
Reward: Encounter with a Lotad (can be Shiny)
Win 3 raids
Reward: Encounter with an Aerodactyl (can be Shiny)
Win 5 raids
Reward: Encounter with a Chansey (can be Shiny)
Win a Mega raid
Reward: Encounter with a Kabutops
Fight against another trainer
Reward: 5 Mega Energies from Blastoise, Charizard, or Venusaur
Especially the quest with the Mega Energies is exciting. You should definitely have multiple quests before you fight against another trainer. This way, you can collect up to 15 Mega Energies at once.
Battle event for Mega-Houndoom
When does the event start? This begins on September 11th at 8:00 AM local time. The event ends on September 17th at 10:00 PM local time. So you have almost a whole week.
These are the bonuses: The focus here is on battles. All trainers must fight a total of 275 million times with Mega Evolutions in raids, against Team Rocket, or against other trainers. Once this is achieved, you will unlock Mega-Houndoom. Additional bonuses include:
If you use Mega-Beedrill in battles, you will receive an additional CP boost for that Pokémon
There will be field researches again that provide Mega Energies for Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise – generally, there are quests around battling
Team Rocket will use different Pokémon during the event
Bug Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. These include: Caterpie, Ledyba, Paras, Beedrill, Scyther, Pinsir, Ledyba, Spinarak, Wurmple, Burmy, and Sewaddle
Shiny Ledyba will appear for the first time in Pokémon GO
What should one know about this? The event is a paradise for bug collectors! There are numerous Shiny checks, and with Shiny Ledyba, there is even a new Shiny to hunt.
Otherwise, you will primarily need to use your Mega Evolutions here. So save your energies for this event.
Buddies event for Mega-Gengar
When does the event start? From September 22nd at 8:00 AM local time until September 28th at 10:00 PM local time, everything is about your Mega Pokémon as buddies.
These are the bonuses: You need to use your Mega Pokémon as buddies. Additionally, there is a special research that will grant access to Mega-Gengar at the end. Other bonuses include:
Mega Evolutions stay active longer. Instead of 4 hours, you can benefit from 12 hours of the evolution
The item Snorlax will be active twice as long
Large Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. These include: Lapras, Snorlax, Alolan Exeggcute, Doduo, Pinsir, Wailmer, Mantine, Porygon-Z, and Wigglytuff
Shiny Doduo will appear for the first time in Pokémon GO
Particularly large Pokémon will appear in raids
In quests, there will be Mega Energies for Beedrill – as well as again for Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise
A snapshot with your Mega Pokémon as a buddy will give you an encounter with a monster of the same species
What is exciting here? Here you have the opportunity to find some particularly rare monsters. Snorlax or Lapras usually appear rather rarely in the wild. You can take advantage of this during this event.
Otherwise, Shiny Doduo is the highlight. Shiny collectors can rejoice once again.
This event also announces the spooky time in Pokémon GO. The Halloween event has already been mentioned and will bring Mega-Gengar if you complete the special research.
Which event are you looking forward to the most? To be well prepared, you can currently benefit from a gift that Niantic offers you. This way, you will get almost free remote raid passes.

In World of Warcraft, you can currently snag a lot of bonus reputation. There are double reputation points available with a variety of factions.
In World of Warcraft, we are approaching the last days of the expansion Battle for Azeroth. In less than two months, the next addon Shadowlands will be released, and even weeks before the big pre-patch arrives. To kick off the final days, Blizzard has now reintroduced one of the most popular buffs for the entire month of September. There is again a 100% additional reputation with many factions.
What kind of buff is this? The effect “Impressive Influence” has been active since midnight and increases the reputation gained from all sources by a whopping 100%. This applies not only to the major reputation factions of Battle for Azeroth but also to the factions of Legion. So, if you still have old tasks pending and want to grab rewards, make sure to take advantage of September.
If you raise 100 reputation factions to exalted, you will even receive a fancy unicorn.
What is new this time? Unlike the first time, the buff now also supports the two new reputation factions from Visions of N’Zoth. You can also collect additional reputation points with the Rajani and the Accord of Uldum. This allows you to quickly farm coveted essences at rank 4 or simply collect some of the reputation rewards such as pets and toys before these contents become irrelevant.
Which factions are not affected? Not affected are special reputation factions, such as the Beehive in Stormsong Valley or the Revenge of the Claw on Highmountain. For these factions, the normal reputation gain still applies. The general rule of thumb is: if you can earn a Paragon chest through a faction, then the reputation gain is currently doubled.
Unfortunately, there is no reputation bonus for the bee mount.
Farming gold through reputation: If you make good use of the buff and complete the emissary quests daily with several characters, you can even earn a nice sum of gold. Because with exalted status, all major factions in Battle for Azeroth give a Paragon chest at 10,000 additional reputation points. This contains between 3,500 and 5,000 gold. While there are more effective methods of farming gold, this can be done comfortably on the side, as only world quests need to be completed.
Will you use the reputation buff to raise a few factions to exalted? Or is it no longer worth it for you in Shadowlands?

Gradually, assault rifles seem to be disappearing from the focus of quite a few players in Call of Duty: Warzone – LMGs are the new hot stuff. MeinMMO presents the top 3 and shows which one fits your playstyle. There’s also the appropriate setup.
Which LMGs are meant? The Bruen Mk9 announced it, and fans of the PKM have known it for a long time: LMGs in CoD: Warzone rock.
In the Battle Royale, many players use an all-round weapon that can achieve secure kills at medium ranges while also cleaning up in close and long-range fights. A strong SMG is used as a secondary weapon to gain an advantage in close combat duels.
When it comes to selecting the all-round weapon, many players’ attention shifted back to machine guns after the introduction of the FiNN LMG, and they may finally have their breakthrough – because 3 of them are now among the best weapons in the Battle Royale:
FiNN LMG
PKM
Bruen Mk9
The three companions each bring their own character and have unique advantages and disadvantages. MeinMMO compares the powerful LMGs with the best assault rifles and shows you which fits your playstyle the best.
In the Warzone, you’re armed to the teeth – an LMG in your pocket can be helpful.
LMGs deliver heavy hits and provide stability
How do the MGs stand in terms of damage? When it comes to the Time-to-Kill (TTK), or the time a gun takes to take down an enemy, the 3 MGs easily keep up with the best automatic assault rifles in Warzone.
The absolute top value here is provided by the CR-56 AMAX (Galil): 476 ms with chest shots on enemies with 3 armor plates. But the FiNN LMG is just slightly behind – it takes 482 ms here. In the midfield, we have the PKM (560 ms) and M4A1 (594 ms). A good way behind are the nerfed overachievers: Bruen Mk9 at 638 ms and the Grau 5.56 at 658 ms.
If you can handle the AMAX, you’re at an advantage in most situations because its bullets really hit hard. However, the stability of the heavy assault rifle leaves something to be desired. This is where the LMGs shine. You get stable killing tools that provide you with a ton of bullets and range.
Compared assault rifle setups with the longest barrel and monolithic suppressor for range. LMG setups are from this article. Source: truegamedata.com
What about mobility? Playing an LMG usually means being a bit slower. The lower values in aim down sights (ADS) time and movement speed are noticeably felt in some setups. You should find a good balance for yourself and consider whether you can forgo the longest barrel on the PKM to be a bit more mobile.
LMGs have one problem – fire delay: What the TTK above doesn’t take into account is the “Open Bolt Delay”. This is a fire delay after you pull the trigger. For all 3 LMGs, it takes 67 ms to fire after the trigger is pulled. In very critical situations, this can make a difference. Unfortunately, it’s a small drawback of most LMGs.
FiNN-LMG with Setup – Outstanding performance at medium range
Warzone FiNN Setup
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Barrel: XRK Long Shot Contrarian
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 5.56 NATO 100-Round Belt
What can the LMG do? The newest weapon in CoD arrived with the “Season 5 Reloaded” update and makes a big impact in Warzone. Thanks to its extraordinary damage coupled with pleasant handling, you’ll tear apart enemies standing in your crosshairs.
It’s really strong at medium range. You hit your enemies effortlessly and are at an advantage against other all-round weapons up to 60 meters if you both start firing at about the same time. However, it gets tricky if you have to aim first. With a range setup, the FiNN LMG takes a while to aim down sights and loses some of its strength.
Who is this setup suitable for? If your primary weapon should bring secure kills at medium ranges, the FiNN could become your new top pick. With this setup, it resembles the stable M13, but deals significantly more damage than the rather weak assault rifle.
However, it is a bit slow in ADS time, which weakens it in close combat. Due to its high fire rate, it’s also difficult to maintain stability at greater distances.
The new FiNN LMG offers great customization options, making it suitable for other applications as well. This setup brings outstanding performance at the critical medium range in Warzone and that’s why it made it onto the list.
Pro
High damage
Very stable at short and medium ranges
Contra
Low ADS speed for close combat
High fire rate is annoying at long range
PKM with Setup – A bit shaky, but stable values
Warzone PKM Setup
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Barrel: Heavy 25.9″ Barrel
Laser: Tactical Laser
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Grip
What can the LMG do? The PKM offers a strong middle ground between stability and damage. Its damage remains almost constant at all ranges. The chest damage only decreases from 34 to 30 (with this setup at 39 meters), and so it becomes one of the most painful all-round weapons in the game from 60 meters onwards.
Who is this setup suitable for? If you choose the slightly shorter “Heavy 25.9” Barrel, you get an LMG that can assist you at all distances. The ADS time is just okay, and hits at long distances are possible. However, among the 3 MGs on this list, the PKM has the strongest recoil.
If you’re looking for a weapon that deals well at all distances and are willing to accept a bit more noticeable recoil, give the PKM a try.
Pro
Decent damage at all ranges
Takes a long time to deplete the magazine
Contra
Long reload time
Somewhat shaky
Bruen Mk9 with Setup – The golden mean
Warzone Bruen Setup
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolithic)
Barrel: XRK Summit 26.8″
Laser: Tactical Laser
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Ammunition: 60-Round Magazine
What can the LMG do? With the Bruen, you can hit enemies at all ranges while remaining as mobile as with an assault rifle. The 60-round magazine transforms the LMG into an extraordinarily handy hybrid and, with the smaller magazine, it achieves assault rifle levels in terms of ADS time.
For a few weeks, this weapon was the top weapon in Warzone, but after 2 nerfs, it seems to have found its place among the strong weapons. It’s no longer overpowered but still does its job and, especially, shines with its stability. However, its damage leaves something to be desired.
Who is this setup suitable for? The Bruen can now be compared well with the Grau 5.56. You accept the lower damage in exchange for reliable hits at greater distances. Plus, it has a pleasant aim down sights time.
If you’re looking for a stable companion that doesn’t hit as hard but is reliable, then the Bruen Mk9 is your choice.
Pro
Very stable
Mobile assault rifle hybrid (60-Round Magazine)
Contra
Low damage
Challenging to unlock
If you want to see the 3 setups in action, check out the English video from the CoD YouTuber “WhosImmortal”. He compared the 3 weapons and shows gameplay with the combinations:

In choosing their tools, many players opt for the best weapons of Warzone to avoid being at a disadvantage. However, after a few nerfs, the firearms in Call of Duty are coming closer together, and personal playstyle and preferences are playing an increasingly important role.
As long as an automatic weapon offers a certain level of stability, it will be exciting for Battle Royale, and the 3 candidates here also bring interesting traits. However, for some, it will still only be assault rifles that make it to the shortlist – you can find 3 strong assault rifle alternatives to the stable Bruen here.

Teamfight Tactics (PC, Android, iOS), the auto-chess game of League of Legends, will soon bring the new Set 4 that will change everything. We will tell you which champions are included in Set 4, when it will be released, and why it is particularly worthwhile for newcomers.
What is Set 4? TFT regularly changes all existing champions and the general setting of the game to stay fresh. Set 3 was released in March and had the theme of the galaxies. Accordingly, it received champions with origins like Star Guardian or Astro and classes like Space Pirate.
Why is Set 4 worthwhile for newcomers? With the start of a new set, suddenly everything is different in Teamfight Tactics. Even the veterans have to get to know all champions and their attributes at first.
In this phase, the game is the most fun, as there is no established meta yet, and one can experiment a lot and win matches with very crazy combos.

A first screenshot of the champions from Set 4 from Riot Games itself.
What we know about the origins
Warlords additionally receive – (3) 150 health points & 10 ability damage – (6) 400 health points & 25 ability damage – (9) 600 health points & 50 ability damage.
Every victorious fight they are involved in grants them additional health points and additional ability damage – up to 5 times. (3) 30 health points & 3 ability damage (6) 40 health points & 5 ability damage (9) 80 health points & 10 ability damage.
Twilight units increase the ability damage of all allies. (2) 20% (4) Twilight units receive an additional 40% ability damage (6) 50% for all, 100% for Twilight units.
Moonlight increases the star rating (level) of the weakest moonlight champion by 1. So if you have a Diana with 2 stars, a Lissandra with 2 stars, and a Sylas with 1 star, Sylas will be upgraded to a 2-star champion at the start of the fight. With this attribute, even 4-star champions are possible.
Cultists summon a Galio when the team’s health drops below 50%. (3) Tyrant Galio with 1,800 health and an AoE stun (6) Demon Lord Galio (9) Supreme Regions Galio with 7,000 health and 600 attack damage.
The cultists in Set 4 resemble the elemental mages from Set 1 who could summon an earth elemental. However, this is a Galio in 3 stages.
Divines ascend after being attacked six times or their health drops below 50%. This reduces the damage they take by 25% and causes them to deal additional true damage. (2) 20%, (4) 40%, (6) 65%, (8) 100%.
Ninjas gain additional attack and ability damage. The effect is active only if you have exactly 1 or 4 ninjas. (1) +45 attack and ability damage (4) +90 attack and ability damage.
Enlightened generate more mana. (2) 50% (4) 75% (6) 100%.
If a Spirit casts their ability for the first time, all allies receive attack speed depending on the mana cost of the ability. (2) 35% of the mana cost (4) 90% of the mana cost.

Fortune: (3) Victories over other players grant additional orbs. The longer you go without receiving an orb, the greater the rewards.
Tormented: After participating in three fights, the tormented can transform.
The Boss: When the Boss first drops to 40% health, he retreats from the battle and does sit-ups. Each sit-up restores 15% health and grants him 20% attack speed. When he is back to full health, he returns to the fight. His normal attacks and abilities deal true damage from then on. If all allies die, he returns immediately.
What we know about the classes
So far, no specific details are known about the various classes, except for the corresponding names:

What changes with the selection of champions? As lead designer Mortdog revealed, Set 4 will have changes to the carousel. The item distribution will be adjusted to eliminate unfair carousels. Additionally, rounds with complete items will be removed.
Especially the second carousel is expected to be interesting:
80% chance that each item appears once + 1 random
15% chance that each item appears once + 1 spatula
5% chance that there are 3 spatulas and 6 random items.

What else changes in TFT? With Set 4, 3 new arenas will be introduced into the game. These arenas will change with victories, defeats, streaks, and the deaths of 3-star champions.
In addition, there is a new battle pass for 1,295 RP, which contains a lot of bonuses and star shards, the currency of the season. Star shards are needed for little legends. New variants will also be introduced, including the three legendary legends Ao Shin, Umbra, and Choncc.
Umbra, the dragon, is one of the new little legends.

In Pokémon GO there is now a raid pass “gift” available that each of you should grab. You won’t get remote raid passes this cheaply again.
What’s new? On the evening of August 31, 2020, a new box appeared in the Pokémon GO shop. It costs only a slim Pokémon coin and gives you three remote raid passes. An offer that every Pokémon Trainer should take advantage of.
So it’s not completely “free,” but you can earn a single Pokémon coin after just a few minutes in a gym or by completing daily tasks that the new coin system in Pokémon GO presents. So it’s practically a gift, and the coin only has symbolic value.
Where can you find the gift? Open the shop in the Pokémon GO game. First, tap the PokéBall at the bottom center of the screen and then tap “Shop.”
Under the first category “free,” where you can find your daily free gift box, you will see the category “limited time only!” There, the blue box with 3 remote raid passes awaits you. It costs 1 coin.
You can find the raid pass offer in the Pokémon GO shop
Normally, the package with 3 remote raid passes costs 250 coins, about €2.50.
You should note: The box will remain at the price of one Poké coin until September 30, 2020, at 10:00 pm in the shop. So make sure to grab the offer before you miss out. You can only purchase it once.
Keep in mind that you must have less than 3 remote raid passes in your inventory to secure the offer. If you already own 3 remote raid passes, you must first consume at least one before you can buy.
Bibor and Blastoise are among the new Mega Evolutions
Coinciding with this, Niantic is starting a three-week event on September 1st that focuses on Mega Evolutions. It’s all about participating in these raids. With this raid pass gift from the shop, you have a particularly affordable opportunity to raid remotely with your friends. This way, you have more chances for successful raids and the first encounters with the new Pokémon.
The indie game Among Us from developer Innersloth is experiencing a second spring. Thousands of viewers on Twitch and millions of downloads speak for themselves. But what kind of game is this anyway?
This is Among Us: In Among Us, you play as an astronaut who needs to prepare a spaceship for launch. Together in a group, you embark on the mission and repair the spaceship. However, there are also impostors in the group who want to prevent just that. They must be found and excluded.
The principle is similar to the popular game “Werewolves (of Düsterwald)”. There is a group of players and a secret killer.
The game was released in 2018 on Android, iOS, and PC. Only now, two years later, is it experiencing a real hype. One reason is also numerous streamers who share their gaming experiences on Twitch and thereby create plenty of advertisement for the indie game. In just the last 7 days, Among Us averaged about 69,000 viewers on Twitch (via Sullygnome).
Among Us is simple and incredibly entertaining
This is how Among Us works: In a group of up to 10 players, you start the round. Randomly, one player becomes a saboteur who must prevent the spaceship from launching. All other players must repair the spaceship or even install new parts.
As a saboteur, you have to act cleverly. After all, the other players should not know who the impostor is. If a player is killed, a vote is held to determine who is responsible. If most votes are cast for the actual killer, they are thrown into the lava and lose.
This creates an entertaining cat-and-mouse game, where no one except the cat knows who to watch out for.

The German YouTubers PietSmiet provide a good insight into Among Us.
This is what makes the game so special: Among Us may look fairly simple at first glance, but there are indeed tactical components that one must consider.
It becomes especially entertaining when playing with friends because you can give each other instructions and debate sharply whether a fellow player is an impostor or not.
You put yourself and your friends to the test: Can you lie well and conceal your schemes? Do you see through your fellow players?
Where is the criticism? If you start Among Us alone, you may encounter some problems. While there is a chat where you can communicate, it can be arduous and, moreover, toxic.
Among Us is especially fun with friends, as you can assess them better.
The numbers show: Just a glance at the Steam charts shows that Among Us is currently booming:
Since its Steam release in November 2018 until May 2020, Among Us averaged never more than 490 players
In the last 30 days, Among Us had an average of 18,385 players. At times, there were even over 73,000 concurrent players
In August, Among Us grew by an incredible 774%
The indie game is also available for mobile and is incredibly successful there too. While it costs €3.99 on Steam, you pay nothing on your smartphone. Alone in the Play Store for Android, Among Us has over 10 million downloads. It also ranks in the top charts for games there.
In recent weeks, Among Us has experienced a true boom on Steam. Source: Steamcharts
What do players say about Among Us? The reviews for Among Us are largely positive. These numbers also indicate this:
On Steam, Among Us has nearly 24,000 reviews, of which about 22,500 are positive (as of August 31 at 4:00 PM)
In the PlayStore, there are almost 900,000 reviews, and it received a total of 4.2 out of 5 stars
In the Apple App Store, there were 7,500 reviews and even 4.4 out of 5 stars
It is positively noted that the game is incredibly addictive. You can get really immersed in it and cheer along. On Steam, Princess ironically writes: “This is a brilliant game to ruin friendships. I experienced it. It was totally worth it.”
Especially the point that you get into conflict and discuss with your friends is appreciated. There are comments saying that they have hardly suffered so much in any other game.
Criticism comes from German players. They wish for German servers. If you don’t play with friends, you have to communicate in English in the chat, which can be quite complicated.
Ni no Kuni is getting a pretty nice MMORPG treatment. At least the first trailer makes you want more.
Ni no Kuni should be familiar to most fans of Japanese role-playing games. No wonder, as the J-RPG is beautiful and often found at the top of many genre lists. The colorful, pretty game world and the great character design are usually praised. Now, however, Ni no Kuni is taking the next step and wants to function as an MMORPG – on mobile devices.

What is the game about? In Ni no Kuni, it is traditionally about connecting two worlds. This is also the case in Cross Worlds. The twist this time is that pure fantasy worlds are not being connected, but players take on the role of a tester for a VR game. During this test, they discover that the world of Ni no Kuni is not a VR game, but a real world that must be explored from then on – of course, lots of adventures await.
Impressively beautiful graphics: The main highlight of the game is the presentation: the moving music and the picturesque graphics that remind many players of the famous films from Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away). In the first trailer, it looks quite nice, aside from a rather strange tree with a face. Will it be among the best anime MMORPGs?
It is supposed to look this beautiful.
Will Ni no Kuni Cross Worlds also come to us? This is still unclear. Currently, it has only been announced for the Japanese market for iOS and Android systems, with a “later this year” release. There is no exact release date yet. Whether we can expect the game in Europe and receive at least an English translation is still up in the air.
The developers of Hi-Rez Studios have announced that their fantasy shooter “Realm Royale” (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) will no longer receive updates. The game has been a significant financial loss from the outset. Realm Royale launched in 2018 as a mix of Fortnite and WoW strongly on Steam, but declined rapidly. The studio head admits to mistakes.
This was the 1st idea for Realm Royale: Realm Royale is a free-to-play shooter for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Hi-Rez had high hopes for the unusual shooter.
But even the basic concept underwent a significant transformation before release. Originally, the game was known as “Paladins Battlegrounds” and was presented in January 2018:
As in the hero shooter Paladins, players should be able to choose a character from a large pool of champions
The players would then compete against each other in the established “Battle Royale” format until only one remains.
The special gimmick of Paladins Battlegrounds was that, unlike in Fortnite and PUBG, “everyone plays the same champ”, players had a wide selection.
The game was supposed to be the world’s first mix of “Hero Shooter” and “Battle Royale” and showcase the colorful heroes familiar to players from Paladins.
Paladins Battlegrounds was a clear attempt to develop a spin-off from their own game “Paladins” that would ride the “PUBG” wave, similar to how Fortnite had skillfully done before.
Epic had turned their already failed survival game “Fortnite” into a mega-hit with Fortnite: Battle Royale within 2 months. Hi-Rez apparently wanted to replicate this.

The first trailer from 2018 for “Paladins Battlegrounds” had 1.5 million views.
This concept “1st Hero-Shooter with Battle Royale” was hastily developed by Hi-Rez and presented to an audience at an event, but just as quickly it was dead again.
The main game, Paladins, faced strong backlash from fans because of “Paladins Battlegrounds.” Paladins players felt Hi-Rez was ignoring them for a Battle Royale spin-off.
In Paladins Battlegrounds, there were accusations of Pay2Win. The game heated up passions.
In February 2018, the developers then pulled the emergency brake. No, it was not Paladins Battlegrounds. Everything was now different.
This is what Realm Royale became at release: Hi-Rez decided against the idea of having a huge champion pool like in Paladins; instead, players had the choice between 5 classes.
What ultimately came out as “Realm Royale” was a Battle Royale like Fortnite with elements of a fantasy RPG, like WoW:
Like in Fortnite, the graphics were cartoonish, and the gameplay was a classic Battle Royale
From WoW, they borrowed elements from fantasy RPGs. Realm Royale features a crafting system and a class system consisting of Warrior, Assassin, Hunter, Mage, and Engineer (who was later removed from the game)
Realm Royale aimed to impress as a “fantasy shooter with RPG elements” and find its niche here.

In June 2018, the game launched with an average of 32,810 players on Steam – but the numbers quickly fell to just 9,000, then 4,000, and ultimately around 1,500 players. From September 2018 onwards, it only sporadically rose.
The release on consoles apparently could not bring noticeable improvement, as we now learn from the studio head.
“In an alternative future, surely a mega-hit”
This is what the developers say now: Stewart Chisam, the CEO of Hi-Rez, addressed the players with a clear message after they complained that it was far too quiet around Realm Royale:
Realm Royale will continue, but they are most likely not bringing any larger updates anymore
Hi-Rez will focus on SMITE, Paladins, and Rogue Company
They love Realm Royale, but the game has never made money. Even in the best months, it lost $100,000 monthly. SMITE makes the same amount in a month as Realm Royale earned in the years 2018 and 2019 combined. Even Rogue Company has already made more revenue than Realm Royale.
The CEO says: In an alternative world, Realm Royale would have become a mega-hit if things had been done differently. They have thought about this long and are now trying to learn from the mistakes.
The gaming industry is merciless; most projects fail while some become mega-hits. As a 400-person studio, Hi-Rez is quite large, but only large enough to manage a certain number of projects with the highest possible quality.
The focus is now on SMITE, Paladins, and Rogue Company. They want to concentrate on the essentials.
What does he mean by “mistakes?” On the one hand, he surely means the shitstorm early in 2018 regarding “Pay2Win” cards and the feeling among Paladins players that Hi-Rez was neglecting them.
On the other hand, shortly after release, Realm Royale was labeled by players as “that was poorly patched.” The directional shift from the first concept to the second and the subsequent changes were perhaps simply too much.
Players criticized that the unique elements, such as classes and legendary weapons, were too much pushed into the background. The loot was too heavily dependent on chance. The skills of the classes in Realm Royale played no role; the weapons were too powerful.
In short: Players felt there was too much Fortnite and too little WoW in the mix.
A Twitter user under Chisam’s post says: If only an update had been like players wanted and not the exact opposite, it might have turned out differently.
What can you play instead of Realm Royale?
Anyone who has been a passionate fan of Realm Royale so far or wants to check the game out for the first time can continue to do so. The servers will remain up.
But for those who want to switch while staying true to the “Battle Royale” genre, we show here on MeinMMO some attractive alternatives:
During the digital gamescom 2020, we at MeinMMO were able to conduct an interview with Victor Kislyi, the CEO of Wargaming. Read here what the head of the tank game developer World of Tanks says about his game and its audience, as well as what he experiences when he plays himself.
In our Gamescom interview with Victor Kislyi, MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn talked about the history of the company Wargaming, who plays World of Tanks, and what Victor does in his private life. And how he deals with players who insult him for what they perceive as failed updates in the game.
The interview started with questions about the company and the typical players of World of Tanks.
Victor Kislyi, the head of Wargaming.
Wargaming and World of Tanks
How large is Wargaming actually? Wargaming started as a small studio in Minsk and has since become an international company based in Cyprus. Currently, according to Victor, over 5,000 employees work for Wargaming, distributed across 17 locations worldwide.
The moments when things didn’t go well: Next, I wanted to know if Wargaming ever had problems before it became a successful global company. And indeed, before World of Tanks became a hit, things didn’t look promising:
Before World of Tanks, it was never certain whether we would survive in the long run. We created a game, released it, received some money from the publisher and from sales. And then it went back to zero. We developed games for 13 years before World of Tanks. And every day I wondered: ‘Are we earning enough money to pay our salaries at the end of the month?’ We often didn’t know what would happen tomorrow.
Until the success of World of Tanks, Wargaming often faced challenges.
World of Tanks was developed in 18 months: The big breakthrough came with World of Tanks, and Victor is grateful that his employees stayed loyal to him for so long:
We were like old comrades from the trench. They stayed with us, even though there were better jobs in Minsk at that time. That showed me that they really loved what they did, that they wanted to make this kind of games that we developed at Wargaming. When we then had the idea for World of Tanks, the whole team was well motivated and organized. And we created the entire game in 18 months!
All regions are somehow different. You can see that in the movies and music that people like. And also in games. We first published the game in the former Soviet Union. No publisher wanted to distribute the game, so we did it ourselves in the regions where Russian was spoken. And it worked very well. And that was partly due to tanks.
Men in general like tanks. And Russians particularly love tanks. This also applies to Eastern Europe like Poland and Germany. Many World of Tanks players are found there. In America, however, it’s not the same. This might be because Americans weren’t involved in such large tank battles in WWII [as Russia and Germany]. So yes, there are differences in preferences worldwide, but they all play and enjoy the same game.
This is what the typical WoT player looks like.
Who is actually the typical WoT player? Victor had a humorous answer to this, as he immediately pointed at me and confidently said: ‘He looks like you!’
He then explained:
[The typical player] is a man who has children and is about 40 to 45 years old. He is married or in a relationship, he has a job. He could be a teacher, firefighter, or police officer, typical male professions. He is engaged in both work and family life, he might have a house or an apartment, a dog…
Committed people who have achieved something in life, both in family and work. And then he needs to have the opportunity to free up a few hours each week to play World of Tanks. To escape from everyday life for a while and perhaps play with his buddies. And then drive around and blow things up.”
Well, except for the fact that I’m still just under 40 and don’t have a dog, he accurately hit the target as a typical audience for World of Tanks.
World of Tanks and women?
Why only men as the target audience? According to Victor, men seem to be the typical target audience. So I asked him whether this was intentional or if they also wanted to attract women to the game:
So far, we haven’t introduced anything in the game to specifically attract women. Well, the game isn’t glorifying violence; we only show destroyed vehicles and no corpses. But for some reason, girls don’t find World of Tanks interesting as a game. And there’s nothing we can do about it.
Tanks seem to appeal more to men than women.
However, since there are indeed individual female players in WoT, I wanted to know if there are any statistics:
It’s probably around 95 to 98 percent [male players]. There are really only very few ladies in the game. It’s a male hobby. It’s like fishing. I don’t know why so few women do it. But they don’t! They simply don’t find it interesting or worthwhile. I don’t know. And they are allowed to see it that way! But World of Tanks is predominantly a hobby for men.
Victor Kislyi only makes “suggestions”
This is how Victor is involved in game design: It’s obvious that Victor loves his game World of Tanks. But to what extent is he still involved in development as the head of a global company?
I programmed a long time ago, but at a basic level. I haven’t done that in a long time. But I consider myself a game designer. I was actively involved in earlier titles from Wargaming. However, I was no longer the lead designer for World of Tanks. But I have played it consistently and have made suggestions and comments here and there. And I still do that. I make suggestions and participate in brainstorming sessions. But I don’t actively lead any projects.
I’ve learned to formulate my excellent ideas in the form of advice. So I go to the tank guys or the ship guys and say, ‘Hey, I have this and that idea, what if you do this.’ Then we have a discussion. And if possible, they say they will do it. Or they logically explain to me why it can’t be done. Because not every one of my ideas is actually good in the end.
Civilization is one of Victor’s favorite games.
This is the game Victor would like to develop: As a child, Victor had fun with a text-based strategy game called “Kingdom,” which ran on an ancient computer in his father’s lab. However, his favorite game, which he extensively played in his youth, is Civilization. After Wargaming had already released a similar game with Masters of Orion, my next question was whether Victor would take over Civilization if it were ever for sale?
Something tells me that Firaxis [the company behind Civilization] is doing very well right now and Civilization is currently their strongest brand. And I really don’t know whether I could make Civilization better, to be honest. At most in terms of AI. You can simply see that it sometimes makes stupid moves. And then it secretly cheats behind the Fog of War.
If you play for 20 rounds and then reload and play more aggressively or less aggressively, you will notice that the AI has adapted and is about on par. That I find somewhat frustrating because I feel punished for playing effectively. But I can also overlook that and enjoy the game.
When an update goes poorly, the boss gets the hate
The boss plays himself: In an earlier interview, Victor once stated that he still enjoys playing World of Tanks himself, but on the Russian live server and under his real name, so that everyone knows it’s him. I then asked him if he still does this:
Of course, I always play under my real name, “VictorKis.” I have been doing this for years and have dozens upon dozens of tanks. I must have fought around 15,000 battles. But I’m probably not the best player on the server. And yes, the Russian players see my name, and of course, they can contact me.
If the last update was good, they say things like, ‘Thank you, keep it up, I like your work, WoT forever!’
If the last update didn’t go over well, then they say… okay, I cannot repeat those words here. Let’s just say, ‘they express their disappointment in rude ways.’
Often they also say what specifically bothers them. So I always have a good sense of the mood in the World of Tanks community on the Russian server.
When an update doesn’t go well, there’s a stir in the community.
These are the consequences of fan criticism: I could easily imagine what “rude words” the poor Victor must have heard from upset fans. I then wanted to know if he takes that personally and how he deals with the criticism:
“If I had taken that personally over the years, I would have been in a madhouse a long time ago! But somehow it does get to me personally. Because then I go to my developers and ask them why we made an update that disappointed and angered people?”
So if an update results in fans berating Victor in the game, that will probably reach the design team. However, Victor also explained to me that he is not the only “thermometer” measuring the mood in the community. There are various people, such as community managers, who keep an eye on player sentiment.
But if something is unanimously perceived as problematic, Wargaming is also determined not to do it again:
“We shouldn’t do anything ‘not good’ again. We should only make outstanding things.”
More interviews with Victor: In another interview, Victor explained which two things in World of Tanks were ‘not so good’ and why. These mainly dealt with the notorious updates Rubicon and a bug that made the game unplayable on weak computers. You can find all about these disasters in our article on MeinMMO.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Season 4 has started. Along with a new theme and a Battle Pass, there are a few secret things that not everyone has noticed. We show you 4 secrets from Season 4 – Chapter 2.
What is happening in Fortnite? On August 27, Season 4 started in Fortnite. This brought a huge collaboration with Marvel, as seen in the Season trailer.
We show you some changes, innovations, and weapons that are now active with Season 4. You might not have noticed some of them yet, but it’s good to know so you can use them in your fight.
1. Secret Vault on the Starting Island
What is new? With the map changes, there is also a new starting island. You now start each round in Fortnite from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. But that’s not all, because there is a secret loot vault hidden there.
So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens with this vault. Either a mini-boss will come to the starting island soon, or the Helicarrier will be added to the map.
This vault is located on the Helicarrier and cannot be opened
If you land at the Agency now, you won’t find any henchmen patrolling. Instead, you will find a lonely bot who apparently doesn’t know what to do anymore after losing his job.
But he is not completely alone, as there is also a henchman who has settled in Retail Row. You can find him in a room where he performs various emotes.
https://youtu.be/pYTTADRAgwE
Here you can see the last henchmen in Season 4
3. Pro Fishing Rod and New Fish
What is new? In Season 4, there is now a better version of the fishing rod and new fish that you can catch. The fishing feature was already introduced in Season 1 Chapter 2, but in this season it becomes even more exciting with the fishing pass.
In this pass, all the fish that you have caught are displayed. There are a total of 39 fish that you can discover and collect. Among them are special fish like:
The Hop Flopper (provides zero gravity for a limited time)
The Jellyfish (charges shields)
The Spicy Fish (provides a speed boost for a limited time)
The Thermal Fish (provides thermal vision for a short time)
Player ArcherypeLeeJow has created an overview of all the fish, where and at what time they can be found:

To make it easier for you to catch all these fish for your fishing pass, there is now a better version of the fishing rod. You can now upgrade any regular fishing rod to a Pro version. You do this easily at a workbench.
What is new? Aside from the map changes that came with Season 4, there is a glowing island near Lockie’s Lighthouse. The island is not large, and there is only 1 truck on it.
This location counts as a landmark on the map, but seems to have been “ripped” from another place. The road where the truck is located leads to Trask Industries. Perhaps a new location that will be added later?
In Season 4, there are not only secrets to discover, as you can now dive into the world of Marvel. Whether you wear a superhero outfit from the Battle Pass, complete challenges, or try out the new abilities. In the latter, the bosses that you will soon find on the map will help you. You can already find Doctor Doom and benefit from his abilities.

The reactions to the new LoL champion Samira show comparisons with Devil May Cry in League of Legends. Players are excited about “a lot of fun” after watching the champion trailer.
Who is the new champ? Initially, Samira was leaked on the LoL test servers (PBE), followed by the official reveal via champion trailer. In these videos, Riot Games introduces new champions and provides a first look at their abilities kit.
In the video, players see clear similarities with the character Dante from the “Devil May Cry” franchise. However, aside from these comparisons, players assess what they see and say that there is a champion coming who promises a lot of fun and instills fear as an opponent.
A highlight is the ultimate ability, which looks like Katarina’s. Unlike Katarina, however, Samira can move during it and may become even more dangerous. A few weeks ago, there was already a leak about Samira. The leaker describes her as “female Rambo, but hot.”
Champion Trailer – Samira in League of Legends
Here’s what to expect: In the video, you can see Samira’s various abilities in action. With her abilities, she can set up combos that earn her different levels in style points.

What can Samira do? Samira’s passive ability has several abilities. One of them is the showcased combo system. When Samira hits a champion with attacks or abilities that she did not directly hit before, she builds style points. These are divided into 6 levels from “E” to “S.”
She can only use her ultimate ability when her style rating has reached rank “S.” The ultimate looks impressive.
She unleashes a wave of shots from her weapons. Within 2 seconds, she fires 10 times at enemies within the range of the ultimate. The shots deal physical damage, can critically hit, and also provide lifesteal.
What players are saying: On reddit, Samira has been a major topic in the LoL community since her release. The champion trailer has garnered over 2,500 comments. On YouTube, the trailer has already received more than 1.8 million views since August 30.
On YouTube, people are writing:
“The champion looks like she will be fun. I think she’ll be strong in early, middle, and late game.”
“Looks like someone at Riot Games played the entire DMC [Devil May Cry] series and wanted Dante. Then made him a woman so it wouldn’t be so obvious.”
“I also immediately thought of Dante when I saw the style system.”

Samira is compared to Dante’s style attacks from Devil May Cry
On reddit HouhinKyoumaDesu writes, “She still looks like she will be a lot of fun [although he missed leaks].”
Extreme-Tactician writes, “The style meter! Man, if it only had announcements for the styles. I will definitely try her. She’s not exactly a female Dante when it comes to personality (less of a cocky jerk and more of a seasoned tough guy), but they both have the thrill of battle. Plus, I love her ultimate. I live for spin-to-win type abilities.”
How do you like Samira in LoL? Is she a champion you definitely want to try, and does she seem strong to you already?
Currently, there is a preview event for the upcoming MMO New World. MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski is currently looking at the game from Amazon and already misses mounts terribly.
the abundance of content and whether it will be sufficient
or the dreamy, picturesque environment.
I promise you, we will talk in detail about these things on MeinMMO. However, I want to play until the end of the preview event before I go into more detail. I even intended to say nothing about New World until the preview is over.
But there is one thing that is currently upsetting me so much that I have to write about it right now: Where the hell are the mounts?!
The environment of New World would be perfect for mounts
When I wander through the landscape of New World, I can hardly get enough of it. I walk through abandoned and decaying farmlands while the tall grass wraps around my knees. In the distance, behind a dense thicket, mysterious ruins appear on the horizon that I immediately want to explore.
The world of New World often reminds me of a landscape painting.
There are paths everywhere that make their way through nature and lead me to settlements, landmarks, caves, and important places for quests. After all, I need to complete quests for my settlement and faction.
Moreover, crafting armor, weapons, food, or potions plays an important role in New World. Stones, trees, grass, berries, oil, water – almost everything can be gathered in nature to create new items. It’s almost meditative to walk through the environment and just collect resources.
However, the capacity of my backpack works against my collecting fever. Often I have to retrace my steps to the settlement to store my valuable junk. Surely, I can use all of this somehow!
The map of New World is expansive, which in itself is a nice thing. But it is VERY expansive and much of my time is spent running back and forth. Whether for completing tasks or collecting certain resources. The long distances become tedious like an old gum after a while.
Since there are already perfectly laid out hiking paths, a mount could move effortlessly here.
The map of New World has a decent size, which is why I walk a long way from A to B.
I could use fast travel, but …
New World has options for faster and more convenient movement:
each settlement can be accessed via fast travel, which, however, costs the currency Azoth. Only the home settlement can be reached for free at the press of a button.
it is possible to walk forward automatically. This makes the journeys at least more comfortable.
Like many others, I have resorted to the trick of using the life staff for faster movement. To do this, one must level the weapon to level 5 and unlock the skills Arcane Power, Light Speed, and Cosmic Shift from the “Life Thief” tree. Then one can zip around like the superhero Flash.
The weapons of New World have three skill trees. The “Life Thief” path allows one to zip around with the healing staff.
I consciously choose to ignore fast travel. Because I would love to move through the picturesque environment of New World. This makes the game world much more immersive for me. It would just be nice if it could be done faster with a mount.
I don’t have the impression that I would explore the places less if I could ride. I want to go to those points anyway and also gather resources. If I saw something interesting, I would just have to get off the saddle.
New World has its mystical sides. What strong designs for mounts could be made here.
Mounts could be profitable for Amazon
From a business perspective, I also don’t quite understand the renunciation of mounts. I believe we all agree that most players love to stand out with special cosmetics. It is part of personalizing one’s gaming experience.
Typically, special mounts can be found in a shop. Here, premium mounts could wait for the players’ wallets. Likewise, mounts can be unusual rewards when certain milestones in the game are achieved or for events.
On my adventure, I encounter some players who are already customizing themselves. The need is there, and mounts can help with that.
All in all, mounts would only have advantages for the MMO. Or what do you think?
In short, our impressions of the preview are coming soon: The preview event will run until about Friday. Once the event is over, we will write a detailed report on gameplay, atmosphere, and technology. We hope, of course, to hear as many of your impressions as possible.
The actor Chadwick Boseman has died at just 43 years old. A young Fortnite pro, Young Calculator (15), reacted inappropriately. He asked in response whether that means there is no Black Panther 2. For this, he was severely criticized. People are demanding his expulsion from the eSport team Built by Gamers.
What did Young Calculator do? On the night from Friday to Saturday, it became known that actor Chadwick Boseman had died of colon cancer at just 43 years old.

But the tweet was out in the world. The image that FaZe Sway posted went viral and reached almost 40,000 likes. The statement triggered fierce reactions:
The comment was completely inappropriate and weird. Making jokes about such a situation is out of line.
Others, however, apologize for Young Calculator: He did not mean it as a joke. The boy is just too dull to understand how insensitive that is. Everyone who knows him from Twitch knows that.
“Wasn’t meant as a joke – I was an idiot”
This is what the pro says: Young Calculator actually said that the tweet was not meant as a joke at all. The question about Black Panther 2 was his first unfiltered reaction, out of shock. He was an idiot and made a mistake, but did not want to hurt anyone.
He is sorry that he did not think longer about the tweet. He did not mean it badly.

Some say this is a 15-year-old who does not mean it like that.
Others say he must now feel consequences. They are demanding his team “Built by Gamers” to expel Young Calculator and for him to delete himself from social media.
Young Calculator earns $200,000 with Fortnite at just 14 years old
This is the player in question: Jonathan “Young Calculator” Weber made headlines because he became a Fortnite pro at just 14 years old. The boy has already earned $210,000 in Fortnite (via esportsearning). He claims to have been playing video games since he was 3 years old.
Young Calculator is an outstanding strong player and qualified for the Fortnite World Cup in duo. There, he and his partner MackWood finished in 16th place. They even won one of the rounds, round 3. That’s when the Fortnite world took notice of the then 14-year-old.
When asked at the Fortnite World Cup with what strategy the team would proceed, Young Calculator replied at the time: “We’re shooting them in the head.”

Young Calculator was also already excluded from a tournament: The then 14-year-old is said to have mocked the deaf streamer Ewok via Discord messages. However, he denies it.
This is what lies behind it: Here, really uncomfortable things come together:
The “instant” effect of Twitter – everything goes out immediately and tempts to post something without thinking for 2 minutes.
A 15-year-old who, because of his Fortnite skills, is a public figure and has considerable reach – but evidently lacks any help and understanding of how to present oneself publicly.
And the current “Cancel” culture on social media, where some are ruthless in demanding the “head” of someone who they believe has behaved wrongly.
TSM Zexrox: He is also a typical young Fortnite pro.
Young Fortnite players frequently draw attention through actions that cause shaking heads. Especially the clique that Young Calculator is in regularly makes unusual headlines.
One of his partners, TSM Zexrow, managed to get a Twitch ban for his drinking behavior. There wasn’t even alcohol involved:
For the Autumn expansion Beyond Light, Destiny 2 has announced a new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt. However, there may be more behind the mysterious crypt than just another PvE pinnacle activity.
What is the Deep Stone Crypt all about?Destiny 2: Beyond Light will introduce a new location called Europa, an ice moon of Jupiter. And Europa is home to the Deep Stone Crypt beneath its frozen surface.
This is a mysterious facility and the birthplace of the Exo race. Furthermore, the Deep Stone Crypt is said to house the new raid from the Autumn expansion.
Players are currently pondering this: An exciting discussion has emerged in the Destiny subreddit raidsecrets. The Redditor and Destiny player Giffy117 has proposed the theory that the Deep Stone Crypt will not only be the location of the new raids but could also have much more to offer.
He believes that it could be a location in the style of the Dreaming City from the Forsaken expansion, where Guardians will not only complete the new raid but also take on missions, strikes, and patrols.
While he remains cautious and thinks he could be wrong, many players share his perspective in the comments. He receives a lot of support, and his post has already garnered over 1,900 upvotes in just one day, which is quite a lot for raidsecrets standards.
However, there are also users who see it differently, as they believe Bungie has already announced something larger than just a raid in connection with Beyond Light.
The Deep Stone Crypt comes with Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Is the Deep Stone Crypt more than just a raid? Here’s why
Giffy117 supports his opinion based on available footage and Bungie’s previous behavioral patterns.
Footage: He has analyzed how much Bungie has already shown of the Deep Stone Crypt, among other things.
In total, there are two additional images, apart from the first official image from the Beyond Light description, that apparently show the Deep Stone Crypt. These even come from Bungie’s recently released official press kit.
Bungie’s previous patterns: Bungie always follows a strict pattern when introducing and teasing new details about Destiny 2 – especially with raids. Snippets of images or gameplay from raids are usually not shown or released in advance. Insights into a raid are only available in the corresponding raid trailer, which is expected later.
The conclusion: If Bungie has already shown over 20 seconds of footage from inside the crypt and even published the first images related to it, Giffy117 believes that the Deep Stone Crypt must be something different or more than just the setting for a new raid. It would be extremely unusual for Bungie to release so much footage of a new raid beforehand.
While it remains unconfirmed speculation for now, it sounds plausible and very exciting. We will keep an eye on it for you.
And what do you think about the Deep Stone Crypt? Just a new raid or possibly an additional location like the Dreaming City? Let us know in the comments.

Marvel’s Avengers will be released on September 4th. We from MeinMMO wanted to know if you are going to buy the multiplayer action game. Here is what you told us.
What was it about? In August, Marvel’s Avengers held 4 waves of beta tests, starting with pre-order customers and later open to all interested participants.
In a survey, we asked if you played the beta and how it affected your purchasing decision. You responded comprehensively in the vote and comments.
What do the results look like? The survey ended on August 27th. Each participant had only one vote to cast. A total of 1172 readers participated.
The distribution of votes was as follows:
I played the beta and will not buy Marvel’s Avengers: 34.13% (400 participants)
I played the beta and will buy Marvel’s Avengers: 29.69% (348 participants)
I did not play the beta and will not buy Marvel’s Avengers: 26.71% (313 participants)
I did not play the beta and will buy Marvel’s Avengers: 9.47% (111 participants)
In total, over half of all participants (60.84%) in the MeinMMO survey decided against buying Marvel’s Avengers. 39.16% are in favor of a purchase.
Players who participated in the beta tests had mixed opinions. While 34.13% were not convinced by the beta, 29.69% of beta players will purchase Marvel’s Avengers.
26.71% did not participate in the beta in August and will not get the game either.
The minority consists of 9.47% of survey participants who did not play the Avengers beta but will still buy it.
In Marvel’s Avengers, you play the classic superheroes from the Marvel universe that many of you may know from the movies.
“The spark” did not ignite
Negatives: In the comments under the survey, the mood was more negative. In addition to technical performance issues and bugs, the gameplay was especially criticized.
Many commenters expressed their opinions on the battles and missions, saying that they simply do not provide fun. MeinMMO reader MrMittenz stated that he was looking forward to the game, but his anticipation has decreased:
[…] The fighting feels good and fun in the first few minutes until you notice that the 3 special abilities are only usable every 2-3 minutes and otherwise you are just button-mashing. It becomes very monotonous very quickly and is no longer fun. […]
The missions in the beta were monotonous according to you and offered no variety. The structure of the missions resembled “corridor levels,” which made exploring dull. Several readers mentioned that “the spark” simply did not ignite while playing.
This has caused dissatisfaction not only in the English-speaking community but also among MeinMMO readers.
Thanks to the exclusivity deal and the lack of Spider-Man for other platforms, the player base in a multiplatform game is unnecessarily separated again. Buyers of the other versions receive a cut package. This is outrageous, and as an owner of a PS4 Pro (and gaming PC, Switch, and One X), I will not support it.
Positives: However, there were also some commendations for Marvel’s Avengers. These include, for example, graphics and character design. Some comments also positively emphasized that the game manages to convey the right Marvel feeling.
Character design and graphics, which many were upset about beforehand, I find fine. Moreover, the Marvel/superhero feeling comes across well.
MeinMMO reader Wolve In The Wall
Some readers also see greater potential in Marvel’s Avengers in the comments, even if it may not be top-notch right now. The hope is that the game will evolve and improve as a “Games-as-a-Service” over time, like some other representatives of the genre.
To me, it all felt like a good core that is just still too vague and generic. Some potential is already recognizable, but there needs to be more than just popular superheroes to really secure a solid position among the competition.
In Pokémon GO you can currently give 5 Pokémon a Mega Evolution. You have to invest a lot to carry out such an evolution. Which monster is best suited for this?
These are the Mega Evolutions: Since last week you can use the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. To do this, you must first complete Mega Raids and collect the respective energies for it.
We show this here: We show you here the respective stats of the Mega Pokémon and compare them with similar Pokémon of their types. Ultimately, we draw the conclusion whether the Mega Evolution is actually worth it.
Mega Charizard X at a glance
These are its stats:
Attack value: 273
Defense value: 213
HP value: 186
Max CP: 3850
This is how strong it is in comparison: In direct comparison to Mega Charizard Y, it performs significantly worse. Nevertheless, Mega Charizard X is one of the best Fire attackers in the game. Against raid bosses like Genesect or Venusaur, it is one of the best counters, and among the normal Fire attackers, there is no better Pokémon.
Is the evolution worth it? If given the choice, you should rather rely on Mega Charizard Y. The Y form is significantly better, but the X form is still not entirely bad.
However, the evolution is not unimaginably worthwhile. While it is better than other Fire attackers, it does not make a huge difference in battle. Therefore, you do not necessarily save a few trainers, but have to continue raiding with the same number.
Mega Charizard Y at a glance
These are its stats:
Attack value: 319
Defense value: 212
HP value: 186
Max CP: 4455
This is how strong it is in comparison: Among Fire attackers, there is nothing better than Mega Charizard Y. It dominates the leaderboard by a wide margin. The attack value of 319 is extremely high and no normal Pokémon can match it.
Is the evolution worth it: Of all the Mega Pokémon that are currently available, Mega Charizard Y is the best. You should always choose the Y form when given the choice.
However, you should also weigh this for yourself: Is it worth 4 Raid Passes to get a really strong Pokémon for 4 hours, or do I forgo it and prefer to fight the raid boss with one more player?
Mega Venusaur at a glance
These are its stats:
Attack value: 241
Defense value: 246
HP value: 190
Max CP: 3698
This is how strong it is in comparison: Among Grass attackers, there is definitely competition for Venusaur. A Roserade has a higher attack value, but gets defeated faster. A Tangrowth can take similar damage but deals less. Overall, Venusaur is the best here.
Grass Pokémon are often used when you can also use Electric or Water Pokémon. Zekrom is similarly strong as an Electric attacker – sometimes even a bit better. The Water attackers, however, outperform Venusaur.
Is the evolution worth it? Not really. If you are fighting against a Kyogre in a raid, Zekrom is the better choice and you don’t have to collect a bunch of Mega energies beforehand.
It is a strong alternative, and if you already have Mega energy and a raid boss is currently active against which Mega Venusaur is strong, then you can evolve it. However, it is not worth working towards that extra.
Mega Blastoise at a glance
These are its stats:
Attack value: 264
Defense value: 237
HP value: 188
Max CP: 3941
This is how strong it is in comparison: Among Water attackers, there are comparable candidates. Kyogre or Palkia have better attack values, but the Hydro Cannon move from Community Day makes Blastoise stronger.
The Water type is rarely effective on its own. Often, there are types, like now against Heatran, that are doubly effective. For example, Ground Pokémon perform better against Heatran or Rock Pokémon against Moltres.
Is the evolution worth it? Mega Blastoise is nice, but the effort for the evolution is not worth it. The difference to other Water attackers is too small, and often other types are simply better.
For the Mega Dex, you should secure a specimen, but afterwards you can safely leave it unevolved.
Mega Beedrill at a glance
These are its stats:
Attack value: 303
Defense value: 169
HP value: 163
Max CP: 3383
This is how strong it is in comparison: Among Bug attackers, Beedrill is absolute top. This is mainly due to the attack value of 303. However, it does not take much damage, which is why it is quickly defeated. Therefore, in many situations, Genesect is a better Bug attacker.
In general, the Bug type is used quite rarely. Beedrill is effective against Mewtwo, but the Dark and Ghost types are still significantly better.
Is the evolution worth it? To get Mega Beedrill, you only need to complete the special research for it. Currently, you can only get Mega Beedrill once.
You do not have to save the evolution for it. Mega Beedrill does not make a big difference in raids and does not necessarily have to be in your team.
Things to consider: The 5 Mega Evolutions are just the beginning in Pokémon GO. There are many more Pokémon that have such evolutions. However, these evolutions are not yet available. In our list we show you all Mega Evolutions that could still happen in Pokémon GO.
