Marvel supervillain Thanos has become even more famous thanks toFortnite (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) and the new mashup game mode “Infinity Gauntlet.” Thanks to various super silly emotes, however, he can no longer be taken seriously.
Here’s what it’s about: Since May 8, 2018, there has been a new, limited-time game mode Infinity Gauntlet in Fortnite. In it, you find more loot, have a faster storm, and one player can transform into Thanos from the movie Avengers: Infinity War.
To do this, he just needs to find the gauntlet with the Infinity Stones, then he can unleash untold horrors on the other players as a purple titan.
Or make fun of Thanos thanks to the super silly emotes in Fortnite.
Thanos is actually pretty dangerous…
In the new Avengers film, Thanos is a magnificent villain who is present throughout the film and doesn’t need to fear the Avengers or other Marvel heroes. He is one of the most threatening villains seen on screen.

An extremely tough opponent: In the game, Thanos is just as threatening. When he approaches with heavy steps, fortresses crumble and players burst like soap bubbles under his blows or in the light of his death ray. Without much luck, you can usually only defeat Thanos if you face him together.
Thanos’ worst enemy: The Dancing Bomb Boogie-Bomb!
Often, you encounter Thanos when you are barely prepared. Then you often have only a few seconds to poke Thanos with ineffective needle pricks before he zaps you.
Here’s how the Dancing Bomb works: Therefore, players often throw everything they have in their inventory at the titan in their panic. This includes the Boogie-Bomb, a pretty silly grenade that makes all victims in the radius dance for a few seconds.

The secret weapon against Thanos: In the regular game, the bomb is rarely used, but it is highly effective against Thanos. Because even a titan is powerless against the laws of disco dancing, and Thanos shows off his moves just like everyone else.

The forced dance from the Boogie-Bomb is not the only method to make Thanos dance. The titan is actually a fully animated character with which you can perform all unlocked Fortnite emotes. This makes for absurdly silly actions.

Thanos has a heart for dancers: Dancing seems to be the villain’s secret passion, as there are numerous videos where Thanos spontaneously joins a dance event and spares the dancers.
Only a humorless tryhard (definitely a John Wick) who shoots into the dancing crowd will be punished by Thanos with a death ray. After that, the dance party continues.

If anyone still respects Thanos after all the dances and emotes, they will surely lose all respect once they see the following videos. Because if you wear a bush for camouflage, it probably remains even when you become Thanos due to a bug.
Then you have a purple titan barely hidden by foliage, smashing everything to bits.
The Revenge of the Cuddly Bear! It gets even sillier when a bug strikes that gives you Thanos’ powers but not his appearance. And the height of absurdity is reached when this happens while you are wearing the cuddly bear costume from Valentine’s Day!

Which species in World of Warcraft can become an allied race follows clear criteria. Blizzard already has concrete plans for the future.
Allied Races are one of the core features of Battle for Azeroth, the next expansion of World of Warcraft. Numerous ideas and hopes from players continuously surface, wishing for a specific race for the Horde or Alliance.
In an interview with PCGamesN, Blizzard spoke about the plans for allied races and explained how the “roadmap” for Battle for Azeroth would generally look. There was some new information about the allied races that will be coming in the future.
How is it decided which race goes to the Horde or Alliance? Blizzard tries to weigh several factors. First, it looks at whether a race would have a natural inclination toward one of the factions. After that, it is ensured that there is a good “mix” in terms of appearance for both factions. They do not want the Horde to have only “ugly” races and the Alliance only “cute” ones.
What does the future hold for allied races? For Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard already has a plan for which allied races will join the Horde and Alliance. However, they are also open to developments during the expansion and player feedback. So it is possible that allied races will come that Blizzard has not yet planned.
Which allied races emerged from player feedback? Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag’har Orcs. There has long been a desire in the community to be able to play these two races.
Which allied races are confirmed? For the Horde, there are Highmountain Tauren, Nightborne, Zandalari Trolls, and Mag’har Orcs. On the Alliance side, there are Lightforged Draenei, Void Elves, Dark Iron Dwarves, and Humans of Kul Tiras. Another potential race is the Vulpera – but this has not yet been confirmed.

Battle Royale games were particularly successful in 2017. In games like PUBG, H1Z1, and Fortnite: Battle Royale, you start as one of 100 or more players on a lonely island and must arm yourself with weapons and eliminate all other players. Whoever survives in the end wins.
Especially, PUBG and Fortnite: Battle Royale captivated millions of players in 2017. Battle Royale is worth it. Therefore, many developers are currently planning their own games, all wanting a piece of the big pie. What exactly is coming your way, you will find out in the following paragraphs!

The goal is to find a relic and claim one of only 3 spots in the rescue helicopter. You can and should coordinate and team up with other players while also betraying them. Additionally, viewers on Twitch will have the opportunity to intervene in the events. They can drop health packages, gear, or bombs over the battle field. Therefore, in SOS, it is also important to win over the audience and not just be an effective killer.

Realm Royale – The Colorful Weapon Crafting
Developer: Hi-Rez Studios
Release: Date for full release still unknown
Can I play it now? Yes, in early access
Platform: PC
Realm Royale will appeal to you if you like the colorful comic graphics from Paladins and found the building aspect of Fortnite generally interesting, but not with bases. In Realm Royale, everything revolves around weapons.
What is Realm Royale? The colorful hero shooter Paladins also features a battle royale mode, but as a standalone game called Realm Royale. The special part is that you can choose between 5 classes to play. They all have abilities that help you in matches.
Weapons come in various rarity levels, but you have to craft legendary weapons yourself – you won’t find them easily on the map. For this, you first collect some weapons and then take them to a forge on the map, where you can use the scrapped weapons to craft a legendary one. This makes even the weapons you wouldn’t normally use interesting because they provide resources for legendaries.
You can choose between classes like Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Assassin, and Engineer.

Destiny 2 receives new exotics with the Warmind DLC. Here we present an overview of all the exotic weapons of the second expansion that are known so far.
The 2nd DLC “Warmind” also brings new exotic weapons to the game. Again, there are five weapons that expand your arsenal. Among them are also two old acquaintances from Destiny 1: the SUROS Regime and the Sleeper Simulant.
These are the new exotic weapons from Warmind
In addition to the two returnees from the first part, there are also three new weapons – including the first exotic sword from Destiny 2.
The Huckleberry – Submachine Gun
What is the Huckleberry? The Huckleberry is a new exotic SMG in eye-catching Tex Mechanica style. It is equipped in the kinetic slot. In appearance, it resembles other TM products such as the exotic Prospector grenade launcher.
What can this submachine gun do? The exotic perk “Riding the Bull” allows for increased fire rate when the trigger is held. However, this comes with stronger recoil.
It also has the following perks:
Fluted Barrel: Weapon readiness speed and stability are increased.
Ricochet Rounds: Rounds ricochet off hard surfaces, increased range and stability.
Rampage: Kills with this weapon temporarily increase damage, up to three times stackable.
What is the SUROS Regime? The SUROS Regime is an exotic auto rifle and is equipped in the kinetic slot. Many fans of the Destiny series already know it from the first part. With DLC 2, it now enters Destiny 2.
What can the weapon do? Unlike in Destiny 1, the SUROS in the current Destiny installment belongs to the fast-firing auto rifles with a fire rate of 600. Thus, it now belongs to a different archetype than in the predecessor.
However, the SUROS has inherited its characteristic perks from the predecessor – albeit under new names.
The intrinsic perk of the weapon is called SUROS Legacy. As in Destiny 1, the second half of the magazine will cause bonus damage and can return health on kills.
Spinning Up: While the trigger is held, the rate of fire increases.
Dual-Tempo Receiver: Using the scope slows the rate of fire but increases damage.
Hand-Laid Stock: Increases stability.
Polaris Lance – Scout Rifle
What is the Polaris Lance? The Polaris Lance is a slowly firing exotic scout rifle with high damage. This weapon is carried in the energy slot and deals solar damage.
Fans quickly became aware of this new weapon. Ana Bray prominently showcases the Polaris Lance in almost every official image for the Warmind expansion.
What can the weapon do? The exotic perk of the weapon is called Perfect Fifth and feeds precision hits into the magazine.After four precision hits, a delayed solar explosive round is loaded for the next shot.
Zen Moment: Damage caused with this weapon increases its stability.
Customized Stock: Increased stability and moderately controlled recoil, but weapon readiness speed is slightly reduced.
Sleeper Simulant – Linear Fusion Rifle
What is the Sleeper Simulant? The Sleeper Simulant is already known from Destiny 1 and is making its return to Destiny 2 with DLC II. While it was a fusion rifle for the heavy weapon slot in the original, it has become a linear fusion rifle in Destiny 2, carried in the power weapon slot.
What can the linear fusion rifle do? The exotic perk Spindle ensures that the fired laser from the Sleeper Simulant penetrates enemies and is deflected off hard surfaces.
It also has the following perks:
Polygonal Rifling: Reduces recoil and increases stability.
Extended Magazine: Significantly faster reload speed, and slightly increased stability.
Mobile Target: Increased movement speed and target acquisition while moving and using the scope.
Composite Stock: Slightly increased stability and weapon readiness speed.
Worldline Zero – Sword
What is Worldline Zero? Your weapon arsenal is expanded with the Warmind DLC by the first exotic sword in Destiny 2. Worldline Zero also impresses with its own chic design.
What can the exotic sword do? The special perk of the sword is called Tesseract, which allows you to perform a Tesseract move at the press of a button after a short sprint. In doing so, you teleport to your opponent to deliver a devastating blow.
It also has the following perks:
Tempered Blade: Increased sword damage and ammunition.
Infinite Sword Parry: Defending with the sword is more efficient.
Assassin’s Blade: Sword kills provide a movement boost and damage bonus.
Unyielding Blade: Sword kills that consume ammunition produce sword ammo.
How do you obtain Worldline Zero? The new sword is tied to a collection quest on Mars.
Fazan Studios aims to give the battle royale genre a new boost. In their new multiplayer title “Egress,” the developer is inspired by the popular games of the Dark Souls series.
Driven by the success of Fortnite, more and more developers are now trying to jump on the battle royale bandwagon. However, Fazan Studios distances itself from the now standardized shooter formula.
What exactly is Egress?
What is special about it? Egress is primarily intended to stand out from the growing number of battle royale games with a hardcore combat system reminiscent of the popular Dark Souls games.
A key component of this is the right timing for attacking and dodging.
Players will be able to choose from various heroes for the fight, each with their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
What is the setting? Egress takes place in an alternate world of Victorian England, featuring strong elements from the Lovecraft universe.
The battlefield is a city at night with several different levels, from sewers to rooftops.
According to gameplay footage, the location will also change during battles, such as flooding the canals.
What game modes will there be? Solo and team games are planned. Each match will include up to 21 players.

They did not mention a date for the end of the sale. However, this comes from a source that found its way onto Reddit. It is said that Valve has started sending out emails for the sale. In it, the end date is stated as July 5, 2018.
In summary: The Steam Summer Sale 2018 is set to start according to these leaks on June 21 at 6:55 PM German time. The sale will end two weeks later, on July 5 at 7:05 PM German time.
Keep in mind that these are leaks, so there is no guarantee of the start and end dates.
What makes the Summer Sale special?
During the Steam Summer Sales, there are many offers that also bring new titles cheaper into your Steam library. There are deals in all genres like AAA games, indie games, or even video editing software.
This is THE event for gaming fans. The community looks forward to the many discounts every year and wants to take advantage of them to buy wish games cheaper. They already prepare with memes for how their wallets will suffer because of the discounts.
So if you plan to get a few new games for the summer, you should hold on until the sale starts. Maybe your favorite games will be on sale this year.
The game “Bundesfighter II Turbo” shows how AFD politician Alexander Gauland forms a mirrored NS symbol. But this will not lead to an indictment. The public prosecutor’s office believes that the game serves art and civic education.
As the “Association for Germany’s Video and Computer Gamers” reports, the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office will not conduct any investigations against the game “Bundesfighter II Turbo”. The game falls under the satire exception.
What is Bundesfighter II Turbo? The online browser game is a satire on the federal election campaign. The leading candidates from back then compete against each other like in Street Fighter. The game comes from “funk”, the somehow youthful internet branch of ARD and ZDF. Since they are organizationally under SWR, the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office is responsible.
Where is there a swastika? The leading candidate of the AFD, Alexander Gauland, uses a mirrored swastika. During the second of his jump attacks, he crosses his arms and legs into this symbol.

Public prosecutor sees Bundesfighter 2 Turbo protected by freedom of art
Why should there have been problems? The representation of anti-constitutional symbols is not permitted. This refers to a ruling by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt from 1998. It was often cited when it came to swastikas in video games. They were long considered taboo in Germany. The gaming magazine Pc Powerplay once had a video on a magazine DVD that showed a swastika flag. Consequently, the entire print run was recalled and pulped.
Why is nothing happening here? Although a report against Bundesfighter 2 Turbo was filed, the competent public prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart decided not to initiate an investigation. It is acknowledged that there is a mirrored swastika present. However, the publication of the online game serves “art and civic education.” It is a satire in the form of an online game with exaggerated characters.

Backing for the decision. A complaint has been filed against this decision of the prosecutor in Stuttgart by the complainant. However, the Attorney General’s office also considers the case resolved. They state that the current legal situation is outdated.
What is special about this? This is the first known decision by a public prosecutor not to conduct an investigation in such a case against a game, according to the Association for Germany’s Video and Computer Gamers. It sounds funny, but it could be seen as a step towards the acceptance of video games as an art form – even in legal matters.

Fortnite (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) is still not available on Android phones. However, an invitation event for Fortnite on Android devices is reportedly imminent. Invitations are being sent out via email. What is this all about?
It is simply harder to optimize the game for dozens of potential Android devices, hence the delay. However, recently invitations for the beta test of the Android version reportedly reached some players and YouTubers. Is it finally time?
The Android version is a scam!
Unfortunately, the invitation emails are scams, meaning fraudulent schemes by deceitful internet scoundrels. So anyone who clicks on the supposed invitation will receive a lot of stress instead of great Fortnite fun on Android smartphones. Their data is then transmitted to devious scammers as part of a phishing scheme.
Can this be proven? Epic Games has also gotten involved. A PR employee has already denied all rumors about an Android version on Twitter. There are simply no invitations for an Android beta.

All the sent emails are attempts at fraud. This can already be seen from the fact that the sender address does not use any of the usual official Epic domains “epicgames.com” or “fortnite.com”.
Scams have a tradition with Fortnite
The current scheme with the Android betas is just the latest Fortnite scam. Since the game is incredibly popular and especially appeals to young people, many scammers are trying their luck.
There are also no free V-Bucks! So there have already been several fake websites promising an Android beta upon registration. Similarly, gullible players are often falling for “Free V-Bucks” that someone supposedly offers.
With the Warmind expansion, there is something to collect again in Destiny 2. The 2nd DLC introduced collectibles on the new location Mars. In total, there are 45 data fragments waiting to be found by players. Rewards are also available. We show you where to find all 45 data fragments.
With the Warmind expansion, collectors among the Destiny fans have something to do again. Bungie introduced a series of collectibles as part of DLC II. While there are not nearly as many as there were in Destiny 1, there are still 45 data fragments that can be recovered on Mars. And the search is even rewarded.
Data Fragments on Mars – How to Recover All Data Fragments
What are Data Fragments? These are collectible items that have been newly introduced in the game with DLC 2. So far, they are only available on Mars. The data is located in the game world in the form of holograms.
How do I recover the data? If you want to recover the data from a hologram, you must destroy it. You should keep the following in mind:
There are five different types of holograms
Red holograms must be destroyed with a weapon that deals Solar damage
Blue holograms must be destroyed with an Arc weapon
Purple holograms must be destroyed with a Void weapon
White holograms are destroyed with a kinetic weapon
Holograms that are immune to all types of damage and surrounded by a type of energy field must be destroyed with the Valkyrie – the new relic weapon
Where do I find the data? The data is distributed in the form of 45 holograms throughout the new location. To help you find and efficiently recover them as quickly as possible, we have embedded several videos. The videos by Esoterickk show the locations of all holograms, organized by the individual zones of the new location Hellas Basin.

Battlefield 2018 is set to deliver unique battles and massive multiplayer matches. EA has now officially announced this.
This year a new installment of the Battlefield series will be released, which will be playable at E3 2018. However, there has not yet been an official reveal. Therefore, the title of the game is still unknown. It is speculated that it could be called Battlefield 5 or Battlefield V.
In any case, EA has now provided fans with a few tidbits of information that explain details about the upcoming title. Each match is supposed to be unique and come with its own challenges.
Massive Multiplayer Matches in Battlefield 5
During an investors’ conference, EA’s CEO revealed new details about the shooter that will be released in the third quarter of this year.
With singleplayer and plenty of multiplayer! It has now become clear that Battlefield 2018 (name not yet known) will feature multiple multiplayer modes. There will also be a singleplayer story included. This is noteworthy because the new Call of Duty is supposedly going to focus solely on multiplayer.
With our next Battlefield game, the team at DICE will bring the intensity of combat to life in new and unexpected ways. Every battle is unique and every mode has its own challenges. From the ways you interact with the environment around you, to engaging singleplayer stories, to the next level of massive multiplayer that spans across multiple maps and modes.
Keeping the Success of Battlefield 1 in Mind
The new Battlefield is supposed to be a step into the future, while not forgetting the essentials. “Built on the success of Battlefield 1 and with inspiration from the core DNA of DICE, the franchise will be further developed,” says Wilson. Nevertheless, the typical Battlefield gameplay is to be retained. This is popular in the community.
Fans need not worry: “All the things a Battlefield fan would expect from a DICE multiplayer in the Battlefield universe are included.” In addition, new content will come. This is based on how EA views the future of multiplayer in the first-person genre.
These new features will be available right at launch – more will be added throughout the game’s lifespan.
A firm release date for Battlefield 2018 is to be announced in the coming weeks or months. Fans speculate on an announcement during E3 in June 2018.
According to Electronic Arts, the release of the open-world game Anthem is still targeted for March 2019. However, EA is considering releasing Anthem as early access beforehand. Then it could be adjusted based on player feedback.
Electronic Arts also talked about upcoming games in the current financial report and here about BioWare’s mega-project Anthem. It had long circulated as “Project Dylan” and is seen as EA’s answer to Destiny and The Division.
After Anthem was postponed in this January to March 2019, it is set to stay with this release timeframe for now.
However, the publisher is currently also considering bringing the game to the public sooner.
Anthem with possible Early Access
What is EA planning with Anthem? After the game was delayed, it is now set to launch in early 2019. The focus is still on March.
During the financial conference, EA stated that they are considering releasing Anthem as early access sooner. An unfinished version of the game would be offered, which would gradually change based on player feedback.
Early Access only with subscription? It is currently unclear whether Electronic Arts and BioWare are considering releasing Anthem for all players in early access, or only for subscribers of the EA services.
EA Access on Xbox One and Origin Access on PC are subscription services that allow players to try some new titles from the publisher earlier. Additionally, players gain access to the Vault, where selected games can be downloaded at no extra cost.
What is Anthem? Anthem is EA’s and BioWare’s response to games-as-a-service titles like Destiny and The Division. Anthem is supposed to offer both singleplayer content and a co-op multiplayer in a shared game world.
“Anthem is fundamentally a social experience and will open up new opportunities for fans to join the community and play early,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson. “This way, we can shape and refine the game with feedback. We are very excited to launch this brand new franchise. We also look forward to working with our players to make Anthem a game they want to play and share with their friends for years to come.”
The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online launches on May 16 also via Steam. This is aimed at reaching more players to populate the sandbox world – and for the Steam release, the developers have also come up with special achievements.
Finally Steam
Steam is an important platform for Albion Online. The development team has previously stated their intention to offer the MMORPG on Steam, but only when it has reached a status that the developers are satisfied with. And now it is time: From May 16, you can play the MMO also through Valve’s gaming platform.
What the Steam version offers
Players who play through Steam can unlock special achievements over time
If you already play Albion Online and want to use these achievements without having to play through Steam, they are also available through the regular client
At launch, there will be 25 percent more fame for all activities for one week, such as gathering resources, crafting items, or fighting monsters
What is Albion Online
Sandbox with a focus on PvP. In Albion Online, you write your own story through your actions in the game world:
You explore a large sandbox world
You gather resources in dangerous areas where monsters dwell
You craft your own items that you sell to other players
The economy is entirely player-driven
PvP is an important part, as player-versus-player combat can occur anywhere
In the dangerous zones of the game world, there are territorial wars between guilds
With the Warmind expansion, the first exotic sword made its way into Destiny 2 – Worldline Zero. Since then, many fans have been searching for the exotic energy blade. How do you obtain this Exotic?
With the Warmind DLC, Bungie enriched the popular swords with an exotic example. The new sword Worldline Zero not only looks cool and exotic, but first sword enthusiasts who already own the sword are quite pleased with it.
How to Obtain the Exotic Sword Worldline Zero
The Worldline Zero is tied to a collection quest. In order to acquire the new exotic sword, you first need to go to Mars.
Here is the Lost Sector “Kern Terminus”
Once there, you need to recover 35 out of a total of 45 depot data. These data are scattered in the form of holograms all over the new Hellas Basin location on Mars.
To recover the data, the holograms must be destroyed. The following must be noted:
There are 5 different types of holograms
Red holograms must be destroyed with a weapon that deals Solar damage
Blue holograms must be destroyed with an Arc weapon
Purple holograms must be destroyed with a Void weapon
White holograms are destroyed with a kinetic weapon
Holograms that are immune to all damage types and are surrounded by a kind of energy field must be destroyed with the Valkyrie – the new Relic weapon
Where to find the holograms can be found in our guide:
Once you have collected 35 data fragments, you need to go to the Lost Sector “Kern Terminus”. This Lost Sector is located in the Braytech Futurescape area on Mars. There you will find a vault that can be opened once you have gathered the necessary data fragments. You will then directly receive the Worldline Zero.
ArenaNet is implementing comprehensive changes to underwater combat in Guild Wars 2. Fighting in water is intended to become more enjoyable and faster. Additionally, there are new rewards and a title. Fans are already speculating about an underwater raid.
What was the previous system like? The combat in the 3D environment was significantly slower than on land. According to ArenaNet, this was meant to feel realistic. In practice, most skills provided no feedback, dealt little damage, and led to long fights without any tension. This is the community’s view.
What will be changed? ArenaNet aims to align underwater combat with land combat. While the character will still be slower in water than on land, they should be able to defeat enemies underwater in the same time as on land. Some abilities will be adjusted to achieve this. For instance, the “Tidal Wave” of the Elementalist will receive a significant speed boost, and the damage will scale with the distance covered.
New rewards: Title and increased swimming speed
New rewards are meant to motivate players to spend more time in the water. Diving Master Astora from Lions Arch, south of the waypoint “Sanctum Harbor,” is assisting with this. She explains the reward system and gives the player the first key.
What is the key for? Chests are hidden underwater all around the world. The key can be used to open these.
How can you get more keys? A daily quest requires the player to defeat 10 Krait. As a reward, a key awaits. It is not yet known whether keys can be looted directly from the Krait.
Where are the chests? The location of the chests can be seen in the achievements. Under the categories “General” and “Sunken Treasure Hunter,” the maps are listed. Dulfy.net has already listed the exact locations.
What rewards are there? Mainly swimming speed infusions, which increase movement speed in water. These can then be upgraded with the Diving Master. Additionally, there are some green items and a title when all chests have been opened.
How is the community reacting? They mainly speculate about what this could mean for the future. The raid scene suspects a new underwater raid. Others believe that the next expansion will be about the largely unknown deep sea Elder Dragon. The changes themselves are being received positively, as there is excitement about content for underwater areas.
A “stupid prank” ends in prison. For a DDoS attack on the World of Warcraft servers, someone must now serve time behind bars.
The Romanian Calin Mateias attacked the World of Warcraft servers with a DDoS attack in 2010. He has now been extradited to America, and a court has issued a ruling for this crime. The sentence also includes one year in prison.
What happened? Prosecutors stated that Mateias was an avid player of World of Warcraft. He participated in guilds and raids with his character. Over time, he repeatedly got into disputes with his fellow players regarding loot distribution or membership in a raid group. These disputes later resulted in a DDoS attack aimed at harming his fellow players. Thousands of players were affected by the server outage.
What is a DDoS attack? A DDoS attack floods an online service such as a website or game with thousands of requests. The server becomes overloaded while processing the data. It slows down initially and eventually completely crashes, leading to the outage of the respective service.
What sentence was imposed? Mateias was sentenced to pay nearly $30,000, which Blizzard incurred in attempting to fend off the attack and its consequences. Additionally, he now faces one year in prison. The fact that his character name was also a variation of the name “Dr. Mengele,” a doctor from the Nazi era who conducted cruel experiments on prisoners, likely didn’t help his case in court either.
According to prosecutors, Mateias’ motive was the “youthful desire to overpower his rivals”.
And thus ends a “World of Warcraft” career after 8 years in prison.

In Overwatch, you can buy a new Mercy skin for real money for a limited time. The money raised will be fully donated by Blizzard to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Since May 8, the Overwatch hero Mercy can purchase the exclusive skin “Pink”. The special twist: The skin is only available for real money. It cannot be earned, and the proceeds go entirely to a research institute for breast cancer.
New Mercy Skin “Pink” Available for a Limited Time
Anyone logging into Overwatch today will receive a message about an exclusive skin for the healer Mercy. Blizzard offers players the skin “Pink”, which they can purchase from May 8 to May 21.
The skin can be purchased both through the hero gallery in Overwatch and directly through the Blizzard store. The store is available via the Battle.net launcher. The skin costs €14.99 and is only available for real money or Blizzard balance.
Those who do not want the skin for themselves can also gift it through a feature in the shop. This way, you can make someone else happy while still donating to a good cause.
Blizzard Donates Proceeds to Breast Cancer Research
After the event ends, Blizzard will transfer the collected proceeds entirely to the American Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Thus, the entire revenue does not go to the game developers but to a research center for breast cancer.
What do you think of this initiative? Will you support Blizzard’s good deed and purchase the skin, or do you find the price unreasonable? Let us know in the comments!
