MeinMMO met the streamer AnnieFuchsia at TwitchCon 2025. She spoke with our editor and streaming expert Lydia about her love for World of Warcraft and her biggest achievements in the MMORPG.
Annie Fuchsia is a streamer based in Stockholm and has been active on her Twitch channel for over 10 years, entertaining her viewers daily with a variety of games. It all started with World of Warcraft, which to this day remains her most streamed game by a wide margin.
About 2,000 viewers on average watch Annie Fuchsia when she goes hunting for achievements or makes WoW unsafe with the streamer guild OnlyFangs. She is the most-watched female streamer for the MMORPG and gladly returns to Azeroth after 15 years.
MeinMMO’s editor Lydia spoke with AnnieFuchsia at TwitchCon 2025.

Only 6 people have a success in WoW – and they don’t know why
“Sometimes I just logged in to chat with people”
MeinMMO: You started streaming with World of Warcraft. What is your personal connection to this game?
Annie Fuchsia: World of Warcraft was an important game for me because it was always my source of fun with friends. For me, it was a great way to talk to people. Sometimes I just logged in to chat with people.
I think that’s a bit different nowadays because people add each other on Discord. So, the chats take place outside the game, but back then, that was my chat system. I logged in to talk to guild members and friends.
So yes, World of Warcraft has always meant a lot to me in that sense. I’ve made many friends and met a lot of people through it.
When I became a streamer, it also became a big part of my activity. But I enjoyed World of Warcraft long before that.
MeinMMO: World of Warcraft recently turned 20 years old. What does this anniversary mean for you?
Annie Fuchsia: I haven’t played World of Warcraft since the very beginning. So, the anniversary doesn’t mean much to me, but it makes me think about what an incredible game it must be that it’s still around. There aren’t many games that have survived that long. And yes, there are problems in the game, and yes, many people have stopped playing.
I think the state of MMOs in general is very difficult in today’s society, where people are used to fast dopamine sources and an MMO is a slow one. It’s hard to keep players engaged in MMOs. Given that, I find it incredible. I’m basically happy for the game.
MeinMMO: How long have you been playing personally?
Annie Fuchsia: Since 2010 or 2009, around that time. I think it was during that winter period, so that’s 15 years, which is still a long time.
MeinMMO:That’s a very long time. Many people talk about “burnout” in World of Warcraft – and you haven’t just played for fun. It’s also a big part of your profession. How do you keep the passion alive?
Annie Fuchsia: Well, I would say that because I’m not afraid to – quote unquote – take “breaks”. I’ve never taken a complete break. Normally, I just let my things run, but sometimes I might log in once a week and sometimes daily.
Right now, for example, I’ve been streaming more variety games. My most recent games were Expedition 33 and Oblivion for a few weeks. So, there have been a lot of variety games, which means I play less [WoW].
But that’s not intentional because I’m burning out. I think because I do that, I never really hit burnout. It’s about finding a balance. For example, I was sometimes really exhausted from certain things.
There was a time with Final Fantasy 14 and World of Warcraft, and I thought to myself: you know what? I just won’t play either game. And then I played League of Legends for two months, and people were very unhappy about that.
But I didn’t care because I was under so much pressure, like: “No, play 14, no, play WoW.” “No, this is better, this is better.” And I thought, okay, I’ll just play neither. I tend to return to WoW whenever something is going on. For example, when OnlyFangs was active, I played it for three or four months straight. And the next thing coming is, I believe, MoP [Mists of Pandaria Remix]. So I might get into that.
MeinMMO: Did you play it back then?
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, because that was the expansion that was active when I started streaming.
MeinMMO: What does Blizzard need to get right for you?
Annie Fuchsia: Well, I would say the game itself was pretty good as it was back then. I don’t think there’s really anything that needs to change. I assume they will speed up the tiers and such. There was about Siege of Orgrimmar, which was there for ages, I mean.
So I think they will speed up these patches.
Other than that, I think just leave it as it is. […] I just hope they didn’t break the Challenge Modes system, I thought that was cool.
MeinMMO: Which expansion are you most looking forward to?
Annie Fuchsia: In general, I am looking forward to the retail expansion, Midnight. It comes with housing, which I am really excited about.
MeinMMO: Is this something you have been wishing for a long time?
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, I’ve been talking about it forever. Especially since I wasn’t convinced in the past that WoW needed housing. When people mentioned housing, I said: “Why? What would you do there?” I thought it was a strange idea.
But then I experienced housing in Final Fantasy 14 and thought: “This is great.”
You create your own place, decorate it. Even if it’s just for you, it’s fun.
And beyond that: inviting friends over to your home, stuff like that. I think that’s genius.
MeinMMO: Is there something you absolutely want in your house?
Annie Fuchsia: Nothing specific, but I would like to see cool items like trophies for things achieved in the game. Maybe something like a special painting, or actual trophies. That would be cool. They could have an engraving in the game.
MeinMMO: Speaking of achievements, you completed WoW 100% in 2022…
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, I finished it at the end of Shadowlands and at the end of Dragonflight. So I’ve accomplished it twice.
MeinMMO: Have you kept up? What’s your current status?
Annie Fuchsia: I am currently behind, but I am figuring out which achievements require a lot of time so that I can start with those because many achievements are also time-limited. So I’m doing research on which those are so that I can slowly complete them in the background because yes, I’m currently falling behind because I’ve been playing a lot of variety games.
For example, I recently started in Undermine(d), and that has been out for months, I believe. But I have only just now gotten around to diving in and now I have a game plan. I have the CHETT list and I know what I have to do with it.
MeinMMO: It’s a real science.
Annie Fuchsia: Especially when you don’t have much time to play because you – in my case – might prioritize other games to stream. Then I need to be particularly efficient with my time. For instance, if I want to complete a task, that’s not enough. Ideally, I have to complete four different tasks simultaneously. So it’s really efficient.
MeinMMO: And you want to go everywhere just once and get everything done.
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, exactly. Or if I’m completing a few quests when a Darkmoon Faire is happening, then I have to make sure to bundle that up and just minimize how often I have to do something.
And to be fair to the people out there, I was also able to stream most of that. I don’t stream it as much anymore, but I’ve already shown many of the grind achievements live. So, if I weren’t a streamer, I might not have had the time to do that.
MeinMMO: If you had a different job, for example.
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, if I had a different job in real life, it would be harder to find the time.
A few days ago, the remaster of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine was released. However, players are complaining about the quality and the high price. Now the developer has apologized and announced improvements, including a significant price reduction for certain individuals.
On June 10, 2025, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition was released, an enhanced remake of the old classic. The manufacturer advertised optimizations for new systems, better graphics, and new multiplayer features.
However, many players were not thrilled, particularly about the high price. PCGamer reports that the price at release was said to be $80 for a remaster that offers minimal improvements. In Germany, you pay 39.99 euros. Consequently, fans are quite upset. The developer has now responded, promising improvements and especially discounts.

The cinematic trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Disappointed players: Many had hoped for a free upgrade
What do players say? Currently, the game holds a “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam (29% positive). However, there are only about 100 reviews (as of June 29, 2025, 10:20 AM). The player count peaked at 128 (via steamdb.info).
Angry and especially surprised are many players in the community, as they assumed that they would receive the remaster for free if they own the old Anniversary Edition (via steamcommunity.com). Over two discussions, there are now around 200 comments demanding a free upgrade (via steamcommunity.com).
How the developers are reacting: The developers responded in an official blog post on Steam. Here they apologized for the issues and for the lack of transparency, explaining that they intend to adjust the prices. Particularly, players who already own the old Anniversary Edition are to benefit from this. While there will still be nothing given for free, a substantial discount of 50% is offered:
We have heard your concerns regarding pricing and would like to outline the steps we will take to address them.
(…)
We understand that this situation has been frustrating for some of you, and we apologize for the confusion it has caused. We hope that this approach represents a workable solution, while we continue to improve the game itself.
The main adjustments:
Those who have already purchased the Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition are entitled to a full refund, regardless of playtime, as long as they request it before the end of the Steam Summer Sale.
Those who already own the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Anniversary Edition will receive a 50% discount when purchasing the Master Crafted Edition from June 26, 2025, to July 10, 2025.
In the future, additional improvements and adjustments to the game are planned. With these discounts, they likely aim to smooth things over and accommodate the players.
Uwe Boll (in the title image) is one of the best-known, but also one of the most controversial German directors. He is also known to gaming fans for his mediocre video game adaptations. He often clashes with critics, but this time it led to a constructive conversation.
Who is Uwe Boll, anyway? Uwe Boll is a German director, whose first film, German Fried Movie (1.5/10 stars from over 1300 reviews on IMDb), was released in 1992. He is best known for mediocre video game adaptations that did not fare well. These include:
House of the Dead (2.1/10 stars from over 39,000 reviews on IMDb)
Alone in the Dark (2.4/10 stars from over 47,000 reviews on IMDb)
Far Cry (3.2/10 stars from over 15,000 reviews on IMDb)
or also Dungeon Siege (3.8/10 from over 52,000 reviews on IMDb)
He has also made better-reviewed films like Darfur (5.8/10 stars from over 2800 reviews on IMDb) or Rampage (6.2/10 stars from over 20,000 reviews on IMDb), but overall, his filmography does not consist of audience or critic favorites.
He has often clashed with critics in the past. The most famous incident occurred in 2006. He challenged his critics to step into the boxing ring with him. Four dared to, but Boll, who had experience in boxing, managed to defeat all four (via The Guardian).
Now, in June 2026, he faced off against a major critic again. Instead of fighting with David Hain from the YouTube channel Behaind, he conducted a talk.

This time no boxing ring
How did the conversation come about? The YouTuber Behaind is one of the largest content creators in the film sector in Germany. On June 16, 2025, he concluded his video series, the worst films of all time, naming the controversial films Postal and Hanau in first place. David Hain describes the films as tasteless. The colleagues from Filmstarts were also not particularly thrilled.
Especially regarding Hanau, he criticizes that the film about the 2020 attack focuses on the perpetrator and is also staged like a splatter film. Even before the film was made, the families of the victims expressed their opposition (via Zeit). David Hain concludes his description of the film with: It is a really […] contemptible film that tramples on the victims of this act.
Despite this harsh criticism, Uwe Boll invited David Hain for a conversation and uploaded the over 1-hour talk on YouTube. The conversation was not a long argument but rather a constructive dialogue on many different topics.

How did the conversation between the two go? Instead of a major argument, the conversation between the two was quite constructive. They not only talked about Uwe Boll’s films, but also about problems with German film funding, which Boll also has experience with. It was criticized, for example, that there are too few genre films in Germany.
During the conversation, both also talked about the film Hanau. David Hain asked about Boll’s intention, and Boll provided some context. He explained that he tried to contact those affected, but they did not want to. Boll continued and explained that he focused on the perpetrator because he found it fascinating.
Hain also argued during the conversation and criticized again that Uwe Boll gives a platform to the perspective of the perpetrator. While they did not agree on this point, the conversation remained respectful, and both explained their positions.
Overall, there was a positive atmosphere during the conversation, and David Hain concluded by summarizing: I know I used harsh words in my video. But I still want to say again: I think you’re great. I also realize that this conversation was really fun.
How does the community react? The conversation between the two surprised the community quite a bit, but the reactions are mostly positive.
@freshair4165: David and Uwe Boll before GTA VI.
@finnH_nf: Strong action from Uwe Boll to engage in a conversation with a critic who does not like his work. And also great from David to respectfully explain his opinion.
@bertholdbrechteisen: With the films from Mr. Boll, I still never warm up, but one must have the size to engage with critical voices. Really a watchable talk between you both.
China has a problem: The domestic market is producing so many cars that even new cars are being sold as used. However, this does not change the fact that there are significant overcapacities in China.
The Chinese car market, especially in the field of electric vehicles, is currently experiencing a massive price war. Due to overcapacities, brand new vehicles are often offered at greatly reduced prices even directly at used car dealerships.
Why are new cars ending up at used car dealers? Many used car dealers employ a trick. The Chinese government is said to support the auto industry so strongly with subsidies that dealers exploit these subsidies to resell the vehicles as used.
With purchase bonuses, scrappage bonuses, and financial support from local governments, the prices of new cars are driven down. In some cases, there are even further discounts directly in the factories.
This was reported by Tagesschau, which spoke with a Chinese dealer who is generously taking advantage of these subsidies but simultaneously explains that everyone is doing the same. The dealer stated:
I usually don’t like such tricks. But what should I do? Business is not good. I have to survive. Others do it too – money doesn’t stink.
Even car manufacturers benefit from this used car trick: Because manufacturers benefit in the short term since they can beautify their sales figures, which looks good in front of investors and banks.
What are the consequences? The consequences are not to be overlooked: Due to the high subsidies in the domestic market, more and more manufacturers have emerged that offer their cars for the market. And this has led to a price war, where many experts question who can even make money here. Because in addition, manufacturers are fighting each other with further discounts of 30 or 40% on the car prices.

The Escape to Export
The manufacturers’ response: The Chinese communist government wants to change the situation and among other things end the practice of selling brand new used cars. However, this does not end the fierce price war. The solution for many manufacturers: the escape to export, with consequences for other countries. China now sells as many cars abroad as no other country, and companies like BYD have long since surpassed Tesla in sales numbers.
European car manufacturers feel threatened by the pressure from China in the car market and are calling for tariffs and restrictions on the prices that could ruin their own prices.
Many EU countries are also arguing that the subsidies in China are distorting competition (via adac.de). In the end, the majority of the 27 EU countries voted for punitive tariffs against China. Germany, by the way, voted no (via Deutschlandfunk.de).
It is precisely from a Zelda game that MMORPGs could learn a lesson. Because that would make MMOs more attractive even for solo fans.
The game worlds of MMORPGs often become boring over time. Enemies in the open world can usually be defeated so easily that one can almost wipe out entire camps with closed eyes and without much thought.
For this reason, many MMORPG fans increasingly long for challenges that are offered in solo content – which in World of Warcraft has led to the Depths or the Mage Tower, for example.
However, it is a pity that this only concerns small, individual areas, while the large open world remains at the same level. Everything eventually becomes weak, and one can basically run into any mob camp, spam area spells, and succeed without any problems.
The game world of Azeroth, which initially captivates so much, becomes trivial and simply boring after a while. Simply because the challenge is lost due to the strength of one’s own character. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The open world in MMORPGs is quite easy too quickly – but that doesn’t have to be the case.
Breath of the Wild makes the world harder
In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild there is a hidden level system. “Hidden” because there is no clue in the game and the details were only found through data mining and a lot of research.
At its core, it works like this:
As you kill enemies in the world, you gain experience points – not visible to players. Whenever you exceed certain experience thresholds, things in the game world change. A camp with 3 easy enemies, for example, turns into a camp with 2 easy and 1 medium enemy. Later, there are further adjustments when you have even more experience points.
In Breath of the Wild, the world levels up too – something that is also known from other games.
This system works for almost all enemies and camps in the game. A Leune (a kind of centaur) that was tough at the beginning of the game remains challenging even toward the end because it has “leveled up” as well – it learns new abilities, has more health points, and uses better weapons.
Consequently, stronger enemies also leave better loot. So it is not just “annoying” that there are now stronger opponents – you also get something for it.
YouTuber Croton broke down the system if you’re interested in the details:

I understand that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is neither the first nor the only game that offers increased world difficulty. Many other games do something similar, usually not very subtly. But I have never found it resolved as smartly as in Zelda. It is simply not a big system that is imposed – it integrates organically into the game.
The game world would be better if it grew with you
I would also wish for something like this for MMORPGs, especially for World of Warcraft. I love questing in the open world, but after reaching the maximum level, one very quickly reaches a state where everything in the game world is trivial. Those seeking challenges must necessarily go into dungeons, raids, or the Depths.
What if a camp of the Defias lets elite guards patrol after I have broken in too often? What if my constant assaults on an outpost of the black dragons eventually lead to them defending it more strongly? These stronger enemies could drop more gold or have a higher chance of better loot – as long as one is traveling alone, of course. Otherwise, it would just again be a farming nightmare with maximum exploitation.
At least it seems World of Warcraft is open to experimenting with such a system. Because in the upcoming game mode “Legion Remix,” Blizzard wants to showcase such an alternative world where enemies are much more powerful. I can only hope that this will be used as an inspiration for future expansions to perhaps give the open game world a bit more love – even if only for solo fans who want a bit more challenge.

The AI company Anthropic is facing a lawsuit for using external content to train its own AI Claude. This involves, among other things, millions of books that Anthropic claims to have purchased.
On Monday, June 23, 2025, court documents revealed that the AI company Anthropic spent millions of dollars scanning printed books to develop Claude, an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT.
One particular detail: The company bought used printed books, cut millions of printed books from their bindings, scanned them into digital files, and discarded the originals, just to train the AI. This was reported by the English-language magazine ArsTechnica.
Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?
Company purchases printed books to circumvent licensing difficulties
Why is Anthropic doing this? The problem is generally about the legal control of content. Companies and publishers fundamentally believe that digital content belongs to them and that AI should not use it without payment. And AI companies are not always willing to negotiate a license for it.
The way out of the dilemma: Anyone who buys a physical book can do more or less what they want with it and can also destroy the book they purchased. And exactly this advantage is what Anthropic exploited.
Because purchasing used physical books completely circumvented the licensing issue and simultaneously provided the high-quality, professionally edited text that AI models need, and destructive scanning was simply the fastest way to digitize millions of volumes.
The company reportedly spent “many millions of dollars” on purchasing and scanning, often buying used books in bulk. The books were then removed from their bindings, the pages trimmed to a usable size, scanned as stacks of pages into PDF files with machine-readable text including the covers, and then all paper originals were discarded.
What was the judge’s decision? In favor of the AI company: Judge William Alsup stated that this destructive scanning process should be considered fair use. However, only because Anthropic legally acquired the books first, destroyed each printed copy after scanning, and kept the digital files internally rather than distributing them. Had the company distributed the scans, there could have been legal issues.
The judge compared the procedure to “preservation of space.” However, he did not elaborate much further.

Against the Storm – Launch Trailer for the Fantasy Building Game
Build Cities Against the Clock and the Storm – Over and Over Again
What makes Against the Storm unique is the fundamental gameplay principle. You don’t build a city for hours or days and optimize supply routes while watching your citizens work, but you must constantly face new challenges.
A round lasts about an hour or less, depending on the difficulty level, and starts you with different conditions:
The different biomes have advantages and disadvantages that you must exploit for victory
There are different races with preferences and needs that must be met
the available buildings are different each time, meaning you can’t always win with “the one build”
The higher the difficulty and the further you move from the center of the map, the more environmental dangers lurk. A round always cycles between drizzle (“Spring”), summer, and storm, and each time the storm becomes more dangerous the longer you take.
Learning the mechanics can take a while, but you unlock the difficulties and new challenges piece by piece anyway. This way, you can easily spend 160 hours or more in the game and still play each round differently.
For many, it sounds very tempting to gather their best friends to experience exciting moments in Dungeons & Dragons. However, a new DM had to learn the hard way that this idea doesn’t always turn out as grand as it initially sounds.
What is the Dungeon Master reporting about? The Reddit user and Dungeon Master justanotterdude reports on Reddit that he had to cancel his first D&D campaign shortly before the finale, which left him quite upset.
The campaign consisted of the DM and a few college friends: a close friend, 2 players from another campaign, and 2 more players from a D&D club at the university.
At first, everything was going well, the DM liked the players’ characters, and everyone seemed very involved. But it didn’t take long for the idyll to start crumbling. Ultimately, the group could not continue under the given circumstances, and the DM had to cancel the campaign just before the finale. In the post, he explains how the experience could go so wrong.

Too many different ideas of a good experience
What did the group fall apart over? The DM reports various problems within the group that ultimately led to increasing frustration.
According to the DM, some players didn’t really want to put in effort during combat, thought little, and always used the same attacks. Other players refused to play in their roles and let story-relevant moments drift into off-topic conversations.
While the DM explains that not all players behaved this way, he still reports that most players simply did not take the campaign or his style seriously: “I’m a silly guy and had a lot of jokes in my campaign, but I also had moments that were obviously serious, and they couldn’t stay focused for 5 seconds. The few good players I had were quite annoyed by all of this, and so was I.” (justanotterdude on Reddit)
What made the DM cancel the campaign just before the finale? He writes that he wanted to continue the campaign only for the few engaged players. He also admitted that he initially sought the fault within himself, as it was his first campaign as a Dungeon Master.
Ultimately, what changed his opinion on these self-doubts and made him reach his breaking point was the lack of respect for deadlines and the DM’s scheduling. Players canceled minutes before the session, didn’t respond to messages, or simply didn’t show up at all.
Justanotterdude writes that he no longer looked forward to game days and no longer had fun. And that simply made no more sense to him.
In the comments under the Reddit post, many other players report similar experiences.
“Sadly, you learned the valuable lesson that your close friends in real life might not necessarily be your D&D friends,” writes Vargoroth.
Cthulhu_on_my_lawn responds: “Play D&D with people who primarily want to play D&D. Not with people who want to hang out with you and say, ‘Yeah, sure, why not.'”
Warhammer 40,000 takes place in a dark, dystopian future. The level of technology there is completely different from today, and since war – as the name suggests – plays a major role, there are naturally crazy weapons. The flagship here is the Bolter. However, they are much more than just better assault rifles.
Roughly shaped like a rifle or a pistol, but much thicker with a barrel that you can easily fit a thumb into: that’s the Bolter. If you see an image from Warhammer 40,000, you will almost always find such a weapon depicted somewhere.
If someone sees the weapon and doesn’t know it, they might conclude from its appearance and name alone that they are simply looking at a large rifle with thicker cartridges. But that is far from the truth.
In Space Marine 2, you can use various Bolters yourself:
Start video
Der Launch-Trailer zu Space Marine 2, dem neuen Koop-Shooter in Warhammer 40k
Forget “Bolts”: Bolters fire half grenades
A “Bolt” is not just a thick piece of metal fired from the barrel of a weapon and hitting a target at high speed. Bolter ammunition consists of several components:
a propellant that drives the bolt
a warhead with a core of “depleted deuterium” – in our world, deuterium is used for the manufacture of nuclear weapons
a detonator
In the end, Bolters do not fire cartridges, but small, armor-piercing rockets that detonate upon impact or, more precisely, whenever activated by “mass.” This also fits well with their size, as Bolters have a caliber of between .75 and 1.0 – roughly between 19 and 25 mm.
For comparison: Underbarrel grenade launchers fire ammunition with a diameter of 40mm. A Desert Eagle and most large sniper rifles fire up to .5 caliber ammunition. So you can imagine the recoil.
A weapon that “normal” people can hardly use
Standard versions of the Bolters are correspondingly bulky and not designed to be discreet. They are weapons of war that are meant not only to destroy but also carry a psychological factor.
Size and recoil make it impossible for humans to use Bolters properly. They are meant to be equipped with power armor. The armor of the Space Marines is deliberately oversized. The Adepta Sororitas are therefore the only “normal” humans who can carry Bolters as standard.
This has the advantage that certain technological improvements work without any issues. There are Bolter variants that only function when the owner is using them. This technology is used by many Space Marines, although not all Orders.
Nevertheless, Bolters find use among people in the Astra Militarum and especially among the Space police and judges of the Adeptus Arbites. However, smaller Bolter variants with more manageable grips and slimmer designs are used for this purpose.
If you see images of Warhammer 40,000 depicting a Bolter, in most cases you will see a Bolt Pistol or a Standard Bolt Rifle. These are also the most widely used variants of this weapon, but there are many more, such as:
Heavy Bolters, a type of machine gun usually used by Devastators and Terminators
Storm Bolters with two barrels, which basically function like two Bolters glued together and come as weapons integrated into power armor
Psycannons, special weapons with negative psychic energy, particularly effective against Psykers, demons, and the possessed – often in use by the secret Grey Knights
Bolter Sniper Rifles, especially popular among Scout Squads of the Space Marines
Additionally, there are completely different types of ammunition, some of which are somewhat larger or smaller than the standard version. While bolts are usually already armor-piercing, there are also Inferno bolts, which set the target on fire, Subsonic bolts for silenced shots, or Kraken shots that ignite another propellant after the first impact and burrow into the target.

In the current Summer Sale on Steam, there are numerous strong offers, especially for fans and aspiring fans of Warhammer 40,000. A role-playing game that allows you to dive excellently into the world is currently reduced by 50%.
The game itself is a classic cRPG with isometric perspective. You control your character and your party from a “top-down” view and engage in turn-based combat. The classes consist of “archetypes” that you level up.
The core of the game is the story and character development. There are different endings and you can enter into a relationship with some companions. Rogue Trader offers both a solo and a co-op mode.
This is the sale: Currently, the Steam Summer Sale runs from June 26 to July 10, 2025. Part of the offers is Rogue Trader with a 50% discount. The game also now features 2 story DLCs, each with about 15 hours of story and a new companion:
The first season pass for Rogue Trader on Steam is available for 14.49 instead of 28.99 Euros – here both DLCs are included, so you pay less for both together than for Lex Imperialis alone
With Void Shadows, the game adds Kibellah as a companion, a member of the Death Cult assassins. The DLC also features two new classes, Blade Dancer and Executioner, and a story revolving around a secret and dangerous cult on your ship.
Lex Imperialis is the newest DLC and just released on June 24. Here, Arbitrator Solomon Anthar and the Overseer as a new class enter the game. The story here revolves around the Adeptus Arbites, the stern judges and policemen of Warhammer 40,000.

Rogue Trader is the ideal introduction to a grim world with complex lore
If you have not yet been involved with Warhammer 40,000 or find the world too complex, Rogue Trader is the perfect game for an introduction. It does take some time to get familiar with the mechanics, but you experience the story very directly.
The game not only explains the relationships between rogue traders, the Inquisition, the Imperium, and the conflicts between humans, Xenos, and Chaos, but also provides insights into various areas of the universe:
As far as the surroundings go, Rogue Trader offers quite a bit. You visit various planets, home worlds of dangerous Xenos, get to know Chaos cults, and can even explore your Voidship with Void Shadows, something that is rare in other Warhammer games.
The only downside of the game is that the gameplay may not suit everyone. Role-playing games are inherently slower and more ponderous. Those who need more action might be better served with Space Marine 2 or Darktide – both of which are also discounted in the Steam Summer Sale. Here you can find the 7 best games for getting started with Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000.

A user wanted to play a solo MMORPG but could not find one. For this reason, he developed his own game. The game that emerged is called Erenshor. The developer explains how the game was created and why he opted out of certain realistic features.
Which developer is it? Brian “Burgee” develops the simulated MMORPG Erenshor as a solo developer. On Steam, the game holds around 1,000 reviews rated “very positive”.
The developer explained in an interview with the English magazine PCGamer that he has a job in healthcare and a young family, which leaves him little time to play. For this reason, he wanted to play an MMO that could also be played alone. When he could not find one, he decided to develop one himself. He said:
I have always Googled for single-player style MMORPGs and never found one, but I found a whole lot of other people who were looking for one too, and that made me start working on it.
In Erenshor, all characters are simulated and are meant to act like real people
What is special about the game? The design and appearance are strongly reminiscent of older MMORPGs. Even the game’s interface resembles games like EverQuest and other dinosaurs of MMORPG history.
However, the special thing is that all players you meet in Erenshor are not real players. They are all digital companions who develop like human players. The second, important difference from a real MMORPG: The so-called SimPlayers are always ready to team up with you and embark on adventures whenever you want. You won’t be excluded because you have weak equipment or because you are playing the wrong and too weak class.
According to the developer, each of these SimPlayers should have their own pre-crafted personalities and motivations and their own opinions about you and the other players.

Many do not actually want a completely real MMORPG experience
Criticism of too much realism: In the conversation, Brian also explained that many players initially wanted realistic features: The simulated players should steal loot, kick players out of the party, or have real daily routines that log in and out of the game. Just like in a real MMORPG.
But as soon as the developer implemented the code for it, there were a series of complaints, and he removed it again. He explained: Talking about it is kind of cool, but being robbed in the actual game is something you really don’t want:
After I passed this update on to the testers, I received one complaint after another. It’s fun to talk about being attacked and beaten by the simulated players, but it’s not fun when it actually happens. You then get the feeling that you’re actually playing a real MMORPG.
The new soccer game Rematch was released a week ago and already reports 3 million players. MeinMMO author Thomas Dummer has completed over 50 matches in Rematch and gives you 5 reasons why the new multiplayer is even more fun than the competitive mode from EA FC.
What makes Rematch stand out as a new soccer game? In Rematch, you compete with a player in a third-person perspective and with up to 4 teammates on PlayStation 5, Xbox, or PC. The gameplay mechanics differ significantly from the common simulations like EA FC or eFootball.
Instead of elaborate tactics and well-thought-out plays, Rematch resembles kick-and-rush soccer, meaning when you have the ball, you should look for the quickest way forward. Your opponents will show no mercy in tackling you, as fouls don’t exist here.
In Rematch, there are no interruptions except after goals are scored; the field is enclosed by an imaginary cage. Every second, shots, passes, tackles, or tricks are happening on the field, making the matches appear very dynamic.
After the short introductory trailer, we will reveal to you the reasons why Rematch is more fun than the comparable competitive mode EA FC.

5 reasons why Rematch is more fun than Clubs
What is the competitive mode from EA FC? The comparable mode from EA FC is Clubs. Here, you control your own Pro and play online with your colleagues against other players. Therefore, a comparison of both modes is valid.
1. You will improve quickly, even without much soccer knowledge.
The learning curve rises steeply after a short time. While I entered the first matches without any prior knowledge and didn’t even master the simplest actions like passing or shooting, I was able to significantly improve my gameplay within just a few matches.
Understanding and somewhat mastering the controls is already one of the most important aspects. Strategy does not play as significant a role as in 11vs11 in Clubs, so you can have a lot of positive influence on the outcome of a match if you are skilled.
Tip: You should not skip the prologue after the first game start (unlike I did). It is set up like a small tutorial. Here you learn how to shoot, pass, defend, and further fundamental mechanics.
Additional opportunities to improve can be found in a separate training menu. Here you can also demonstrate your learned skills in small workshops.
2. You will never get bored because you are not bound by tactical instructions.
When comparing Rematch with Clubs, it immediately stands out that the scope of responsibility is evenly distributed among all players. Every player must attack, defend, or even go into goal. This saves you from having to think about tactical formations or fixed player roles.
Every player can be found all over the field during the match and is not bound to fixed positions. As a result, every player is involved in the game throughout.
Tip: If you play with your friends, you can establish a basic tactic in advance. This can still vary greatly during the game. However, you can coordinate during the game to fill each position flexibly.
3. All players start with the same conditions.
So far, you cannot skill attributes like speed or shot power, unlike in the Clubs mode of EA FC. This guarantees that players who have already invested far more play hours do not have an advantage with their avatar.
Although players can purchase cosmetics in Rematch to play with stars like Messi or Ronaldinho, these looks provide no advantages.
This ensures that you all have the same conditions and that only your skill determines victory or defeat.
4. It doesn’t matter whether you play with 2, 3, or 4 friends, the fun remains the same.
Rematch offers you the options to compete in 3vs3, 4vs4, or 5vs5. Therefore, it does not matter whether only 2 colleagues have time or 4. You will find fair matchmaking with any number of players.
Depending on the number, the matches also vary regarding tactical approaches and positioning on the field. While in 3vs3 you can quickly be punished for individual mistakes, in 5vs5 you must communicate well to successfully attack or defend.
Additionally, unlike in Clubs, you are not reliant on bots to complete your team. This ensures that you always retain control over the game.
5. Connection drops are compensated.
Eventually, every player experiences this. The internet briefly fails, causing you to be kicked out of the game session. In EA FC Clubs, this means that the game is over for you and your team must manage without you.
The situation is different in Rematch. Here, you can simply rejoin your colleagues in the active game session and participate in the match.
This gives you a brief overview of what makes Rematch more attractive than Clubs in EA FC. In closing, we are interested in your opinion. Have you played Rematch yet? What are your impressions and thoughts on the new soccer game? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

What happens when you connect Windows XP to the Internet? A YouTuber specializing in cybersecurity wanted to find out. After just 10 minutes, his system is infected, and this should serve as a warning to everyone that old operating systems should not be used anymore.
Eric Parker is a YouTuber who specializes in security. In his videos on YouTube, he investigates malware, open-source products, and aims, as he states, to “raise awareness about technology and cybersecurity.”
In an older video, he wanted to find out what happens when you connect Windows XP to the Internet. After just 10 minutes, his system is infected.
Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?
After 10 minutes, the first virus is on Windows XP
What exactly did the YouTuber do? Parker set up a virtual machine with Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) on a Proxmox server, disabled the firewall and NAT settings, and replicated the connection conditions typical of the early 2000s.
Additionally, the researcher assigned the system a direct public IP address, making the computer accessible without any intermediate protection.
When did the first infection occur? After just ten minutes, the system showed initial signs of infection: In the task manager under Windows, the process “conhoz.exe” appeared, which turned out to be a Trojan disguised as a legitimate component of the operating system.
After downloading a compatible browser and further using the system, the PC soon began to collect malware from several unknown sources. The system fell victim to various Trojans and malware that were executed from temporary folders.
Even outdated Windows 7 is safer than Windows XP
Did the researcher make it too easy for viruses? Yes, the expert admits that the conditions for malware entry were optimal: firewall disabled, direct connection without NAT, and unpatched system. Under normal circumstances, with a simple home router and an active firewall, Windows XP would be much better protected.
To compare the results, Parker conducted the same test with an outdated Windows 7. Surprisingly, the newer system showed no signs of infection after ten hours of exposure, despite disabled security options.
EternalBlue caused plenty of chaos and crippled systems back then
Why is Windows XP so vulnerable? The underlying issue is the so-called EternalBlue vulnerability, which exists in an unpatched Windows XP SP3. According to a blog post from Microsoft, the NSA in the USA discovered the vulnerability and exploited it for years, only making the information public in 2017. A comprehensive analysis of the vulnerability can be found at Avast.com.
The vulnerability has also been exploited by ransomware such as WannaCry or Petya. Numerous institutions, including hospitals, train stations, and industries, were crippled back then. The problem was so significant that Microsoft decided to release the MS17-010 patch even for older, unsupported systems.
Parker explained that certain tools allow cybercriminals to scan the network for vulnerable systems and quickly identify unprotected Windows XP computers.
Marvel Rivals is a hit on Steam. Season 3 starts in a few weeks and new characters have reportedly been leaked. Among them: Jean Grey, one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.
What exactly has been leaked? The English magazine DualShockers reports that Season 3 in Marvel Rivals is set to start with two new heroes: Jean Grey and Blade. With Season 2, Emma Frost and Ultron were added.
Recently, there have been some new details that originate from the description of a Twitch Drop announcement. Twitch Drops are rewards that can be earned by watching specific games and streamers. The descriptions imply:
The name of Season 3: Marvel Rivals Season 3: The Abyss Awaken.
The characters Phoenix and Blade are coming as new characters.
The Twitch Drops for Season 3 are announced for July 11, which suggests that Season 3 will start on that day.
The information about the two characters is not entirely new, as the heroes have reportedly been leaked several months ago.

Jean Grey is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe
Who is Jean Grey anyway? The mutant is considered one of the most powerful figures in the entire Marvel universe, especially when she merges with the cosmic Phoenix Force. Her alternate identity is very powerful. Depending on the universe and film series, Jean Grey is either dead or still alive.
How strong is the mutant? Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix, is classified as an Omega-level mutant: These are mutants whose dominant power is considered an undefinable upper limit of the specific classification of that power and is more or less immeasurable (via x-men.fandom). Notable Omega mutants include Ororo Munroe (Storm) and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto). Both are playable characters in Marvel Rivals.
Phoenix is one of the strongest telepaths and telekinetics: She can read minds, control them, manipulate memories, create mental pain, use hypnosis, and even suppress or amplify the X-gene of other mutants (via Marvel Database).
Jean Grey can alter reality, time, and matter at will and is considered unbeatable by many. Only absolute cosmic entities such as Eternity or Thanos are stronger than her.

Is there Shiny Zamazenta? Yes, with a bit of luck you can also encounter the shiny form of Zamazenta.
How many trainers are needed? If you have strong counters at a high level, you should be able to successfully complete the battle with just 3 trainers. If you opt for more trainers, the battle will be correspondingly easier.
Organize your raid team before the battle. This saves you time in each individual raid lobby and ensures that you always start the raid with your best team. This works particularly well, when you organize your raid teams accordingly.

A player dealt so much damage with a weapon in Elden Ring: Nightreign that his damage was no longer calculated. Behind this lies an ancient problem in computer science.
A YouTuber dealt so much damage in Elden Ring: Nightreign that he eventually lost the round. This is reported by the English-language magazine PCGamer.
The trick behind this: The passive effect of a weapon apparently has no upper limit, allowing the damage to theoretically rise to infinity. However, the programming puts a damper on that.
Start video
Chef ruined his company in 59 seconds on Twitch – What happened to him?
The passive ability of a weapon apparently has no upper limit
Which weapon is it? The Japanese YouTuber and speedrunner mintius used the “Executioner’s Sword of Marais”, a weapon that is already present in the original Elden Ring and is classified as a greatsword there. The special feature of the weapon is a passive effect called “Might of the House of Marais”: This effect increases attack power when defeating enemies and apparently has no upper limit.
The player tested the weapon on the boss Wormface (in English also Wormface). This opponent spawns smaller enemies. And these accompanying enemies also seem to count towards the kills that increase the weapon’s damage. The user explained:
I hunted Wormface mobs for about an hour with the Marais Executioner Sword to see what would happen. After defeating 725 enemies, my attack power effortlessly reached the visible damage cap of 9,999.
After defeating 727 enemies, he can no longer deal damage and is killed himself:
The last damage value I saw for the Executioner’s Sword was 63,375. After defeating the 727th enemy, I suddenly couldn’t deal any damage at all, and my character was killed.
What is the reason for this? Behind the problem lies an issue from computer science called “integer overflow”: This happens when the integer that the system counts becomes larger than the maximum value that the data type can store. This then leads to an “overflow” of the value range: Either the program crashes or there are strange bugs. In Elden Ring: Nightreign, for example, damage is no longer calculated.
