The creator of a popular hack for Overwatch can now reflect on his actions. He has been sentenced to one year in prison.
In South Korea, there is no tolerance for cheating, cheats, and hacks in video games. The creator of cheat software that allowed various hacks in Overwatch is now facing the bitter consequences. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison followed by 2 years of probation.
Why was the penalty so high? The main reason for the severe penalty is the fact that the man had commercially exploited the hack to profit from it. Through the sale of the software, he had earned nearly 180,000 USD, which increased the penalty. Without these large earnings, the penalty would likely have been more in the range of a fine of several thousand dollars and some months of probation.
Hacks and cheats prohibited by law. In South Korea, eSports and gaming in general hold a high status. Since 2016, there are even specific laws that penalize the creation and distribution of hacks, aimbots, or any other form of unwanted cheat tools in games. The Game Industry Promotion Act and the Information and Communication Technology Protection Act.
Hacks and other cheat software have often been a problem in Overwatch. Blizzard has repeatedly stated that they are “committed to creating a fair gaming environment for players and will continue to hold this goal in the future.”
What do you think about this penalty? Is it justified? Should there also be laws in Germany that penalize the creation and distribution of cheat software? Or is it “just a game” and therefore unjustified?
Blizzard is also taking action against German cheat manufacturers:
Fortnite (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) is currently worth a lot as a physical version. Online, game boxes with the title are changing hands for 200 US dollars or more.
Fortnite boxes for 200 dollars? Currently, physical versions of Fortnite are highly sought after on digital marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. Anyone offering a boxed version for PS4 or Xbox One of Epic’s colorful shooter can expect prices between 100 and 200 dollars. Some have even sold for up to 450 US dollars.
Fortnite is free! However, the extremely popular Fortnite: Battle Royale is available for free via download. The still paid PvE version “Save the World” is also available online for just about 40 euros. What’s going on?
Physical versions are a rare commodity!
Why are people paying so much money? The absurdly high prices for physical Fortnite versions have a simple reason: Epic is no longer producing boxes and is focusing solely on digital distribution in the future.
Even here, a used PS4 box version costs around 200 euros!
Anyone who still wants Fortnite – whether “Battle Royale” or “Save the World” – has to get it digitally. The remaining boxes are therefore correspondingly limited and thus rare.
Collectors love the physical version!
Collectors want something tangible: Collectors want to have a box of Fortnite on the shelf for their collection. Unfortunately, many fans only came to Fortnite later, when Epic was no longer offering boxes.
Supply and demand: Some players now want to complete their collection, driving prices up on the internet. So if you have a physical copy of Fortnite and need money, now might be the ideal time.
Anthem’s lead producer Mark Darrah answered some fan questions about Bioware’s upcoming online shooter. One topic that came up was crossplay between PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Will Anthem support crossplay? No. Mark Darrah confirmed on Twitter that Anthem will not have crossplay. However, it was notable that the producer referred to the launch of Anthem. So it could be that a crossplay feature will be introduced after the release.
Anthem would be suitable for crossplay between PC and console
Crossplay can be tricky in PvP shooters between PC and console: Especially in shooters, mouse and keyboard control has advantages over controllers with analog sticks. Depending on the settings, the player can react faster, move quicker, and aim more precisely. Therefore, implementing crossplay between PC and console is somewhat tricky for competitive PvP shooters.
Anthem is a purely PvE game: In Anthem, there will be no player-versus-player mode. Here, in terms of fairness, there shouldn’t be an issue offering crossplay. Players will work together as a team against their AI environment.
Why will there be no crossplay at launch?
The reasons from Bioware are currently unknown. There could be several factors at play as to why the developers have initially decided against crossplay between platforms.
There may be technical difficulties: Darrah mentioned in another tweet that there are currently no specs, i.e., technical data, for the PC version of Anthem. So it might still be unclear for Bioware how they could technically enable crossplay.
Sony (PS4) is generally problematic with crossplay: In recent weeks, Sony has come under criticism several times. Crossplay is currently being blocked between the PS4 and other platforms. We reported on Mein MMO for example:
It may be that Bioware is still in discussions with the relevant parties Microsoft and Sony. Perhaps Bioware is therefore playing it safe and not announcing anything that is not yet finalized.
What do you think about the topic of crossplay and Anthem? Do you hope it will be introduced after the release?
With the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, the Reef and the Awoken are back in the spotlight. In anticipation of the upcoming fall addon, YouTuber Andy Edition has summarized the backstory of the people in a detailed lore video.
Awoken in focus of Forsaken: With the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, Bungie is increasingly focusing the story on the Awoken. The plot of the upcoming fall expansion mainly revolves around the Guardians’ revenge against the murderer of Cayde-6 – Prince Uldren, an Awoken prince.
Moreover, it is also quite possible that fans will finally learn more about the fate of Queen Mara Sov – Uldren’s sister.
Home and history of the Awoken will also be important: But the home of the Awoken – the Reef – also plays a significant role in Forsaken. In addition to the Shattered Shore, a new location in the Reef, the Guardians will also visit the Dreaming City in their hunt for Uldren. This picturesque place, which is also a new endgame location, is the home of the Awoken – filled with secrets, mysteries, and knowledge.
New details in Forsaken, but what happened before? As part of the story, numerous Guardians are therefore expecting more exciting details about the people and their history. But what happened before Forsaken? Who exactly are the Awoken? What is the Reef? What do you need to know to better understand the future actions of key figures like Petra Venj, Variks, the Barons, and possibly Uldren or even Queen Mara Sov?
Everything about the Awoken and the Reef – The backstory to Forsaken in the video
What does the video offer? YouTuber Andy Edition has taken the effort to detail the entire story surrounding the Awoken people and their home in a nearly 40-minute lore video.
Who is the video aimed at?
Veterans and lore enthusiasts thus have the chance to refresh or even expand their knowledge. The video offers numerous profound pieces of information that often go far beyond the standard knowledge of an average Guardian.
Newcomers to the series, who have only become a Guardian with Destiny 2, have the opportunity to catch up on missed background information without spending hours digging through wiki entries or working through the Grimoire cards from Destiny 1.
Hearthstone players are dissatisfied. A change in matchmaking has caused frustration and discontent. What has happened?
There are serious problems in ranked mode of Hearthstone. In particular, players with the rank “Legend” are complaining. They often face much worse players and lose their chance to participate in the big “Hearthstone Championship Tour” tournaments.
What is happening right now? The matchmaking of Hearthstone has apparently changed. Players in the rank “Legend” suffer from often fighting against other players who are ranked significantly lower than them. One example: A player A with the rank “Legend 300” must face a player B with the rank “Legend 4000”. If player A wins, he only climbs very few ranks. However, if he loses, he could drop several hundred places.
Why is this bad? Hearthstone is to some extent always dependent on luck, so even “worse” players can win against the pros with a bit of luck. However, this means a massive rank loss for the pro, who could drop several hundred ranks in the “Legend” tier. Since these pros rarely face players who are significantly higher in the Legend leaderboard, it is almost impossible to climb back up.
This is particularly frustrating for all players who want to try their hand at the “Hearthstone Championship Tour” tournaments. Qualification here is directly based on the earned Legend rank. Many pros are currently putting Hearthstone on hold and are waiting for the matchmaking to work as it did before.
Blizzard is silent. There has not yet been a statement from Blizzard regarding this issue. Players suspect that the developers are experimenting with various settings in the background. Whether it is a bug or an intended change is still uncertain.

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) offers new skins and outfits in the shop daily. However, some skins have only been in the shop once or twice. Therefore, they are rare and are envied accordingly.
This is how the skin rotation works in Fortnite: Every night (except on weekends), the shop in Fortnite is updated. The old skins are replaced, and you get eight new offers for outfits, gliders, pickaxes, and emotes.
Meanwhile, there are extremely many skins and outfits in Fortnite. Therefore, some items are much rarer in the shop rotation than others.
The eight rarest offers in the shop!
These skins are extremely rare! The Reddit user Hearth_Custom has collected information and identified the rarest skins in Fortnite. Hence, he comes up with the following list of skins and emotes:
Power Chord: The punk rocker has only been in the shop once. The legendary outfit priced at 2,000 V-Bucks was quite expensive, and not everyone likely bought it. Many players might regret this now, as the punk girl has not returned yet.
Anarchy Pickaxe: The harvesting tool associated with Power Chord is just as rare as its owner and has also only been available once in the shop.
Air Guitar: Another item from the “Headbanger” collection. The emote lets you rock out with a guitar (a real one, the German title is nonsense!) and looks super cool, but it was also only available in the shop once!
Recon Expert: This skin is not particularly spectacular but has only been in the shop once. Therefore, only a few players own it.
Mako: A true one-of-a-kind. The gray glider was only available if you reached level 25 in Season 1. Since Fortnite was at that time just a mocked and colorful PUBG, not too many players participated back then. And not everyone made it to level 25! The skin also appeared unintentionally in the shop later, which made it even more coveted.
Ranger, Scout, and Pathfinder: These skins are all from the “uncommon” category and therefore rather inconspicuous. Nevertheless, they are all super rare, as they have only appeared twice in the game!

These skins almost everyone should have!
There are also extremely common skins and outfits: On the other hand, some items appear particularly often in the shop. Therefore, they are not exactly rare, and almost every dedicated skin collector should have bought them by now.

In the image here, you can see how often the respective items have been available. The popular and colorful Farbomber has taken the lead here, but the Schaltkreis-Killer and the Kaugummi-Gleiter have also been offered quite often so far.
The eagerly awaited MMO shooter Anthem by BioWare lets you control futuristic combat suits. But what do the designs look like? Are there specific female forms? BioWare has given a clear answer to this!
What’s the deal with the combat suits in Anthem? In Anthem, you play as so-called Freelancers. These are mercenaries who venture into the lethal wilderness with heavily armed Javelin combat suits to complete highly dangerous missions.
The suits look as if developed by Tony “Iron Man” Stark and are packed with high-tech gadgets and weapons. However, it has not been clear so far whether a man or a woman is inside the Javelins. BioWare has now addressed this.
Gender stereotypes in many games: In many games, depending on the genre, armor or combat suits for women are often designed differently than those for men, catering to long-standing gender stereotypes:
Armor for men is often particularly massive and bulky. This is to make the brute male strength stand out even more.
Combat outfits for women are usually delicate, have broad hips, prominently visible breasts, and often high heels. One often gets the impression that the heroine primarily wants to look sexually attractive. Defensiveness comes second.
In Warframe, for example, each suit is assigned a gender (Even though this is well-founded in the lore).
Combat suits in a unisex look
All Javelins come in the same size: BioWare has always strived for equality. Therefore, Javelins for women do not look different from those for men. A combat suit designed for speed will also be light and delicate on a male wearer.
In this bulky Colossus Javelin, a delicate woman could also fit.
And if a woman squeezes into a bulky tank Javelin, she is just as massive and bulky as her male counterparts. This way, no one is forced to play a specific gender based on looks.

According to a tweet from the developers at BioWare, there was a lot of discussion on this topic until they reached the current unisex solution. In the meantime, there has also been a more detailed statement from the developers. They have stated for several reasons that they will no longer have gender variants:
The differences between the gender versions would have been hardly visible anyway
They would have had to do a lot of extra work to give all machines a gender-specific look. That would have been too much unforeseen additional effort.

Valve is not interested in illegal trading with CS:GO skins and has disabled over 2800 bots. They had some valuable skins with them.
Which bots were deleted? Valve has disabled many bots on Steam that are directly connected to the popular site for CS:GO skin trading “OPSkins”.
High losses: Along with the bots, their inventory contents were removed. It is estimated that the skins in the bots’ possession were worth a total of 2 million dollars.
Trading website circumvented Steam rules with bots
7-day protection: Valve activated a feature in March that makes CS:GO skins tradable only seven days after acquisition. This was likely aimed at protecting buyers from fraud.
ExpressTrade not allowed: They have now disabled many bots because the OPSkins website offered an ExpressTrade feature. A free service that allows users to trade skins directly with each other. No sales listing needed to be posted online; it was presumably immediate and without delay with the help of bots.
He did the Math: A Reddit user has calculated and compiled an estimate. It is believed that 2843 of the removed bots had CS:GO items in their inventory. Altogether, they had 1.5 million tradable items in their backpacks. These are worth about 1.9 million dollars.
There was a warning: Valve disabled the bots on June 21, but reportedly sent a cease and desist letter to OPSkins operators as early as June 6, shortly after they launched the ExpressTrade feature.
Quickly warned the customers: OPSkins immediately sent a notice to its users to remove their items from the OPSkins inventory to avoid loss.
Even other third-party providers are said to have already used ExpressTrade to circumvent Valve’s rules.
Future for skin traders? OPSkins states that they will not stop their service now. The operators are already looking at other games for which they plan to offer a marketplace in the future.
Ubisoft’s racing game The Crew 2 is set to launch on June 29 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. A new trailer has been released ahead of the upcoming launch.
In Ubisoft’s racing game sequel The Crew 2, you can take to the streets, water, and air in an open world. You can switch from street racer to boat or aircraft at any time with the push of a button.
Additionally, you can compete online with other players in various modes, including different races or surpassing speed limits at speed traps. A PvP mode will follow in December with a second live update.
The Crew 2 will be released on June 29 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. However, to experience the promised vibrant game world, where you can encounter other drivers and participate in regular events, you must be permanently connected to the internet.
With Battle for Azeroth, leveling Twinks could become significantly easier. The reason for this is an early Flight Master’s whistle.
The Flight Master’s whistle allows players in World of Warcraft to teleport to the next outpost with just one click. This is a strong advantage at max level and a huge time saver. With Battle for Azeroth, you can obtain this whistle much earlier and use it at level 110 in Zandalar and Kul Tiras.
Flight Master’s whistle available at level 110. In order to unlock the Flight Master’s whistle on secondary characters, you need to have a character at the new max level – that is, 120. Then log in with your Twink and head to the Docks of the Horde in Zuldazar. Nathanos Blightcaller will have the whistle ready for your character. Alliance players, on the other hand, go to Boralus, visit the harbor there, and collect the whistle from Wyrmbane’s ship.
Cross-Faction? By the way, the whole process works across factions. If you have a Horde character at 120 and start an Alliance Twink, then the Twink can pick up their whistle at level 110. Conversely (Alliance main and Horde Twink), it works the same way, of course.
Effort in Legion. In the (still) current expansion Legion, earning the Flight Master’s whistle was more cumbersome. Characters had to reach max level first and then also earn a friendly reputation with all factions. Later, these requirements were reduced – then players only needed a friendly reputation, and Twinks gained access upon reaching max level.
When will the new Fortnite Update 4.5 be released? Unlike usual, the new patch seems to be coming later in the week. But when can we expect the update and what will it include?
Update 4.5 not on Tuesday? Fortnite updates usually come at the beginning of the week. Typically, Tuesday is patch day for Epic’s colorful shooter. However, with Update 4.5, the developers seem to be taking more time. On June 26, 2018, everything remained unchanged. No update was deployed to the servers, and there was no news from Epic on the subject.
When will Update 4.5 be released?
Is Wednesday the patch day? Since the new update is unlikely to arrive on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, it should come at a later time in the week. What would be the logical date? It would be Wednesday (June 27).
Why this day? Wednesday is promising because it is the last day before the new week 9 challenges of the Battle Pass. It is rather unlikely that Epic will deliver the update on the day of the weekly challenges.
Patch likely to be released before the challenges for week 9
Shopping carts as a hint? Too much can go wrong if a major patch and the challenge update come on the same day. According to a leak, the shopping carts are supposed to play a role again in the week 9 challenges. If this is indeed the case, Epic would have to bring the carts back into the game via a patch beforehand.
There should be time between patch and challenge update: This would likely be Patch 4.5, and it would have to be released before the new challenges. Epic can still intervene if there are problems again.
Creative Mode and PvE content – What can you expect in Update 4.5?
The content of Patch 4.5: The upcoming update will bring a lot of new content. Among other things, the following innovations are likely to be included in the patch notes:
Reporting Feedback: If you report a player for inappropriate behavior, you will now receive a notification when Epic responds and issues a penalty.
Creative Mode (PvP): This long-awaited mode is finally set to come to Battle Royale. In it, you can test tactics to your heart’s content and thanks to respawn, you won’t get eliminated immediately when you are downed. Here is more info about the Creative Mode.
Slot Clearance (PvE): For 20 V-Bucks, you can now clear your collection slots in PvE mode.
Builder Pro (PvE): The control scheme known from PvP for faster building is now set to come to PvE as well.
Separate Control Schemes (PvE): You will now have the option to save different control schemes for the PvP and PvE modes of Fortnite.
A fresh Overwatch teaser is causing a stir. A new hero is visible! Fans are sure – Hammond is coming!
In the past few days, Blizzard has been releasing small teasers, likely to announce a new hero for Overwatch. After all, it has been a few months since the release of Brigitte and the fans are hungry. All clues point to another gorilla – Hammond.
What can be seen in the teaser? The short teaser on Twitter shows a street with many posters, billboards, and graffiti. For a brief moment, a ball rolls through the image and then disappears again. For many players, it is clear: This must be Hammond!

Who is actually Hammond? Hammond was one of the test gorillas that were stationed at the lunar base. They were genetically modified to be particularly intelligent, as is the case with Winston. When the lunar colony fell, Hammond escaped in a rescue pod. Apparently, he has landed back on Earth and converted his pod into a mech. This was also noticed by some users.

More hints in Junkertown. However, even in the somewhat older map “Junkertown,” there are hints about Hammond that now make sense in retrospect. There, a poster of “Wrecking Ball,” the champion of the arena fights, is hanging. A mech is also depicted there, with the exact rolling ball in the background that we saw in the teaser.
The community is ecstatic and is now sure: Hammond is rolling in and will be a new offensive hero. The evil counterpart to Winston. So we can definitely look forward to some “Good Scientist – Evil Scientist” voicelines.
The Boston Uprising team has its own idea of what is rolling in…

The struggling MMO Wild West Online will not launch the planned Free2Play version this month. It has been postponed along with a major update.
Delay of Update and Free2Play Version
Major update coming later: The developers are currently working on a comprehensive update for Wild West Online. The update is intended to address many of the issues currently raised by players. This update was originally supposed to be released in June. However, as the team has now announced, the update is not in a state that they wish to present to players. There is still a bit more to do, which is why the release has been postponed by a whole month. The patch is expected to bring several changes:
The removal of the McFarlane and Steele factions
The focus will be on Sheriffs vs. Outlaws as the core gameplay
The conquest of towns will be revamped
There will be a more visible crosshair
You will find more loot
The rewards will be reworked
You will find better tutorials to get into the game
Free2Play version postponed. The Free2Play version of Wild West Online, which was also planned for this month, has been postponed. The team states that it will take at least another month before the version is released. The Free2Play version is expected to offer the following:
It is essentially the same game. However, you can only level up to level 20. After that, there are no further experience points available.
You will not receive achievements or rewards.
The MMORPG Wild West Online is not performing well among players. There are still allegations of fraud, and player numbers continue to decline according to Steamcharts. The reasons for this are likely the numerous technical issues and lack of content.

Hours after activation, gifts in Pokémon GO already give fewer items than at launch. What has changed?
Gifts in Pokémon GO: Since the activation of the friends and trading feature, trainers in Pokémon GO can send gift boxes to their friends. These contain useful items like Max Potions or Ultra Balls.
What’s new? Players noticed that the contents of the gifts have changed significantly. Initially, there were five Ultra Balls, but now there are only two. Were the gifts too good?
Fewer contents from the gifts – Gifts
Strong nerf in the Gifts: On Reddit, members of TheSilphRoad notice that the distribution of gifts has changed. Together, they made a list and counted how significantly the contents have been weakened:
Discussions in the community: Such drastic changes lead to many conversations within the community. Some trainers understand Niantic and say, “Yes, every trainer just adds strangers as friends to send gifts to each other. This way, it’s too easy to get coveted items.”
Sympathy for trainers in rural areas: Not everyone can understand this change from Niantic. They particularly notice the change in Poké Balls negatively. Trainer Deadsoulinside writes on Reddit, “I don’t like that this also affected the Poké Balls. Not that I really needed them […], but it was nice to know that you could help players who don’t have easy access to PokéStops.”
At PokéStops and Gyms, trainers can also obtain coveted items like Poké Balls or Potions. However, there are only a few Stops and Gyms in rural areas, making it harder to get the items there.
Possible further changes: There is a chance that Niantic will make additional changes to the gifts. The feature is new and is still being refined.
Another theory about the changes: Trainers suspect that the distribution of items increases with the friendship level. So it could be that there was a bug (i.e., an error) in the game that distributed too many items. This will become clear in the coming days as trainers increase their friendship levels in Pokémon GO.
The game servers for FIFA 18 are experiencing issues. Maintenance work is ongoing. Currently, no online matches can be started in the FIFA Ultimate Team mode (FUT). Joining a match is temporarily disabled.
What happened? The game servers for FIFA 18 are currently having problems on all consoles and are under maintenance. Therefore, FUT matchmaking has been disabled on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In the single-player modes of Ultimate Team, you can still do everything, but due to the suspended matchmaking, no online FUT matches can be started at this time.

With the Forsaken expansion, Destiny 2 receives new locations, among other things. One of them is The Tangled Shore – The Tangled Bay. In a teaser, Bungie now gives a glimpse of the upcoming setting of the autumn addon.
Back to the Reef: The Tangled Shore is a new area of the Reef from Destiny 1 and also one of two new locations that will be added to Destiny 2 with the Forsaken expansion. As part of the campaign, the Guardians will probably spend most of their time here.
The Tangled Shore – Between Asteroids and Space Junk
The Tangled Shore is a nasty place: Because the Tangled Shore is not only home to murderers, assassins, thieves, and all sorts of lawless scum from across the galaxy.
As Ikora reveals in the teaser, the Tangled Shore also provides refuge for the eight Barons and Cayde’s murderer Uldren. All of them are responsible for the death of Cayde-6. On their quest for revenge, the Guardians will mercilessly chase them down starting September 4 – one after the other.
Check out the Tangled Shore: Bungie provided the fitting teaser via Twitter. We have embedded the tweet for you below.

What can be seen? What can be seen is a huge tangle of asteroids and space junk in the typical Reef look. The new location seems even large enough for a Sparrow to be in. But the second new location “The Dreaming City” is also briefly visible in the distance.
Finally, the eight Barons make another appearance. They are the leaders of the Scorn, a new enemy race in Destiny 2: Forsaken.
What do you think about the new location “Tangled Shore” in light of the videos and images released so far? Are you looking forward to this location in the distinctive Reef setting? Did you notice any new details in the teaser?
