EA FC 25: How to Save 200,000 Coins for a Hero with Upgrades – Take the Last Chance on Marchisio

In EA FC 25, you can get the upgrade for a strong hero from the midfield at a much lower price. At MeinMMO, we tell you why you need to hurry to save 200,000 coins.

What kind of hero is this? Claudio Marchisio usually has an 87-rated card in Ultimate Team. The Italian is especially valued for his versatility in the midfield. He has strong passing, very good dribbling, and solid defensive work.

Moreover, he fits as a hero card into any team and gives all Italians on your squad one chemistry point for nationality, while all players from Serie A even get two chemistry points for the league.

At this point in FC 25, his base hero card is somewhat outdated. While he has stats that consistently break the 80 mark, with only 5 playstyles and no PlayStyle+, he lags behind newer cards.

However, thanks to two different upgrades, he is again really strong and interesting in Ultimate Team.

EA FC 25 Strong upgrades for hero Marchisio FUT Birthday and EVO with stats and PlayStyle+ in comparison
There are 2 almost identically strong upgrades for Marchisio.

How do I get Marchisio with upgrades? For the FUT Birthday in FC 25 (on the left in the image), Marchisio received a 92-rated card with strong upgrades. His already very good stats were boosted further, and he got 4 new playstyles, including 2 golden playstyles that elevate his passing ability to a higher level.

Additionally, in the evolutions, the EVO “Strong Engine” appeared. The evolution is intended for central midfielders with an overall rating of 89 and other requirements. The prerequisites and upgrades make Marchisio a suitable candidate for the EVO (on the right in the image).

We have compared both new upgrade versions:

Tips for a Perfect Start in EA FC 25 – Ultimate Team

With a cheap upgrade, you save 200,000 coins only today

Why is the cheap upgrade only available today? The EVO “Strong Engine” ends on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 7:00 PM. After that, you will have no chance of acquiring the strong upgrades from the EVO.

If you have activated Marchisio for the EVO, you have one more week to complete the tasks for the respective level.

Why is Marchisio from the EVO much cheaper? For Marchisio’s EVO card, you need to spend around 90,000 coins. The price consists of the purchase price for the base hero card (approximately 30,000 coins) and the costs for the EVO “Strong Engine” (60,000 coins).

For Marchisio’s FUT Birthday card, on the other hand, you have to spend around 285,000 coins on the transfer market. Although this version of Marchisio is already much cheaper than at his release – as the price was approximately 840,000 coins according to Futbin – it still costs significantly more than the affordable EVO variant, which is almost identical.

We already presented you with a significantly cheaper, but comparable version of a very expensive striker: A striker in EA FC 25 has stats like the strong Ronaldo but is 2 million coins cheaper.

With this trick, you can save quite a bit of coins for a very strong midfielder. For more affordable, yet simultaneously strong players, our recommendations for the current evolutions in FC 25 at MeinMMO are worth a look: EA FC 25 Evolutions: Strong & affordable players for all EVO upgrades.

The movie about Minecraft has a big problem, and that is not the film but the audience

The movie about Minecraft is a huge success and is thus, after the Super Mario Bros. movie, the next financially successful video game adaptation. However, this currently also brings problems. A TikTok trend encourages viewers to bring a chicken to the cinema.

What kind of trend is this? The Minecraft movie was released on April 3rd in Germany and has been quite successful worldwide so far. According to IMDb, the film grossed over 340 million US dollars with an estimated budget of 150 million US dollars (as of April 11, 2025).

Besides big stars like Jack Black and Jason Momoa, the film mainly impresses fans due to references to the popular game.

However, this also led to a TikTok trend. During certain scenes of the film, audiences in some showings start to riot and throw popcorn or other objects into the air. You can see what that looks like here on TikTok.

In particular, the chicken jockey scene seems to be a key moment for fans to completely lose it. One viewer took this scene even more seriously and brought a chicken to a showing.

A Minecraft Movie: First Complete Trailer in German

A real chicken in the cinema

What happened in the auditorium? A YouTube video shows a cinema auditorium where the notorious chicken jockey scene is currently playing. Suddenly, you can see many teenagers rioting, taking off their T-shirts, and shouting.

Two guys wearing a creeper mask are the focus of the video because they are carrying a chicken with them during the riot. Later in the video, you can see how they packed it into a bag. Police have already been called to cinemas for such actions, as Minecraft riots seem not to be uncommon.

The film’s director, Jared Hess, has also commented on the chicken jockey incidents. In an interview with ew.com, he did not see the problem with it:

It is kind of funny when you’re having too much fun and the police are called. […] It’s funny because I think it’s just literally cheering and popcorn being thrown, which I find so amusing that the police are called for popcorn. Yes, it’s hilarious. I have seen so many funny videos. It’s great, especially when people climb on their friends’ shoulders and stand up and cheer those moments. It’s like this crazy excitement. But I’m just glad that people are making memories with their friends and family.

This problem also seems to exist in Germany. In a Reddit post, you can see a sign from the cinema chain Cineplex. It warns that you will be thrown out if you throw snacks. Furthermore, the auditorium will be monitored throughout the showing.

This is not the first time a movie has caused such a trend. As reported by rp-online.de in July 2022, the film Minions – The Rise of Gru sparked the Gentleminions trend. Teens dressed up in suits and ties for it.

While it was quiet in Germany, there were riots during showings in the USA and the UK as well. What do you think about the Minecraft movie? Do you want to see it? Let us know in the comments. Another trend caused a war between knights and gnomes in 2024: Your TikTok is currently full of knights and gnomes? We explain where the content comes from

What does HDR mean on a monitor?

Televisions and gaming monitors offer HDR. But what is HDR actually, and what do I need to use it? MeinMMO explains what you need to know, what HDR formats exist, and why there are certifications.

What is HDR? HDR stands for “High Dynamic Range.” Simply put, HDR is primarily about a more natural representation of contrast between darkness and brightness, making the image look more realistic and natural.

HDR relies on multiple differently exposed images stacked on top of each other to show the best contrast from all images (via nikonimglib.com). For this reason, HDR gives an image a significantly higher dynamic range: bright areas become brighter, and shadows and dark scenes become much more expressive.

What do you need for HDR? If you want to use HDR on your gaming PC or TV, you need an HDR-capable monitor or screen. Your monitor must be able to achieve a certain brightness for HDR to work at all.

Important HDR Formats at a Glance

HDR is not the same as HDR. When it comes to “High Dynamic Range,” there are now several different formats; currently, there is no uniform standard. Some formats are royalty-free and used by many devices, while others are exclusive to certain manufacturers. You can find official specifications directly at DisplayHDR.org by the VESA organization.

With the different formats, it depends on what metadata a movie or series delivers to the TV. Here, a distinction is made between “static” and “dynamic” metadata. Better HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision rely on dynamic data and can therefore be flexibly adjusted from scene to scene.

FormatRoyalty-Free?Explanation
HLGRoyalty-FreeHybrid Log Gamma to display HDR content over cable and satellite programs.
HLG ProLG LicenseImproved version of HLG, where the image is rendered by LG and is supposed to look better.
HDR10Royalty-FreeAbsolute minimum for required HDR content; 1,024 brightness levels (10-bit), conditionally recommended.
HDR10+Royalty-FreeA dynamic update for HDR10. Backward compatible with HDR10.

Dolby VisionDolby Labs LicenseHigher quality than HDR10, up to 4,096 brightness levels (12 bit). Backward compatible.
Dolby Vision IQDolby Lab LicenseAutomatic adjustment of the image to the environment based on readings from an ambient sensor.

HDR Certifications for Monitors

In addition to the formats, there are also several certifications that monitors can achieve or need to reach in order to be compatible with HDR. Luminance is usually specified in candelas per square meter (cd/m²). The higher the candela value, the higher the brightness.

CertificationExplanation
HDR400Designation for maximum luminance; at least 400 cd/m² and a constant minimum of 320 cd/m².
HDR 400, 500 and 600 True Blackmaximum 0.0005 cd/m² luminance.
HDR600Designation for maximum luminance; at least 600 cd/m² and a constant minimum of 350 cd/m².
HDR1000Designation for maximum luminance; at least 1000 cd/m² and a constant minimum of 600 cd/m².
HDR 1400Designation for maximum luminance; at least 1400 cd/m² and a constant minimum of 900 cd/m².

Player Sues Gaming Developer for Being Pelted with Eggs and Sandals in an MMORPG

The developer of a Chinese MMORPG is being sued by a player. The player reports mental health issues caused by a game mechanic.

Three Kingdoms Kill Online is a Chinese MMORPG developed by KoramGame and played in the browser. It is set during the period of the Three Kingdoms in China and was released in 2009. In the game, 4 to 8 players compete against each other in duels lasting between 10 and 30 minutes.

The highest-ranked player in the game is now suing the developer of the MMORPG. The reason: he was pelted with more than 4,800 eggs and sandals in the game over a period of 6 months.

The new seasons of another MMORPG can be seen here:

More than 4,800 eggs and sandals and a lawsuit

What’s the deal with the eggs and sandals? After a duel, players can throw eggs and sandals at their opponents to express their frustration about a lost match. Throwing eggs and shoes is a form of protest in some cultures.

For some players, throwing the items is also a way to maintain face after a loss.

Why is the player suing the developers? According to the player, he was hit with the items in the game 4,800 times over 6 months. The animations of the throws are publicly visible to all players.

This, according to the player, has caused him mental health issues. He states, “Every time I get pelted with eggs, I feel my self-esteem is hurt and I become depressed.”

The items are available in-game for real money, with few exceptions. Therefore, the developer profits from this feature, which is why the player is suing the studio.

How does the developer respond? The player’s lawsuit is already having an impact on the game. According to the developer, they are currently examining how to restrict the items and regulate their use.

Additionally, the developer announced that they are willing to cooperate with the player and the court in this legal dispute.

The new event quest in Monster Hunter Wilds is truly worthwhile only when you ignore the actual objective

A new event quest in Monster Hunter Wilds promises valuable parts for the Artian weapons upon completion. However, players who have progressed further in the game may find little use in it. Nevertheless, the quest offers a twist that you should definitely take advantage of, which is anything but obvious.

Which quest is it? It is the quest “King of a faraway sky.” In this, you will hunt a tempered Guardian Rathalos in the ruins of Wyveria and receive materials to craft Artian weapons.

To participate in the quest, you must be Hunter Rank 31 or higher; then you can start the task with Alma under the “Event Quests” section.

The material you receive upon completion is rather on a medium level – players who are already working with higher rarity levels may initially find this quest unexciting.

However, the quest also brings a side effect that makes it truly worthwhile for all players.

Start video

“I actually thought that cheaters had joined my quest”

What side effect does the quest have? The quest rewards you primarily when you don’t stick to your actual goal. All other monsters besides the Guardian Rathalos have relatively low health and can be farmed unusually quickly.

This is particularly worthwhile if you need parts from the monsters or if you want to collect a lot of materials for cooking quickly. Besides the Guardian Rathalos, you can hunt the following monsters in this quest:

  • Tempered Quematrice
  • Tempered Gravios
  • Tempered Ajarakan

These monsters have noticeably less health and can be caught or slain in just a few minutes or even seconds, making them a good source for valuable materials.

How is this side effect received? In a thread on Reddit, the community discusses this and celebrates this hidden benefit of the quest:

  • lazhink writes: “I actually thought cheaters had answered my question, so I’m glad to hear this. We were right in the middle of Rathalos, and they quickly killed a Gravios, which made me a bit suspicious. Then we killed the Rathalos, and they killed a Quematrice 20 seconds before the end countdown started.”
  • andross117 comments: “Yes, I accidentally fought the wrong Rathalos and was surprised when it died in less than a minute.”
  • atfricks raves: “I really love that event quests sometimes have such strange hidden quirks.”
  • TheGMan-123 explains: “It’s a good quest for players who are still making progress in the game.”

In addition to this event quest, there is another one available this week for you to tackle. These special time-limited quests rotate weekly and bring you new challenges or old ones back.

First impressions are raving about the new action RPG, could it be the next hit in 2025 after Kingdom Come and Monster Hunter?

With Crimson Desert, a true highlight for fans of action-packed fantasy adventures is set to be released in 2025. Now there are new details about the combat skills of the main character, Kliff.

What is Crimson Desert again? This is the new action-adventure from Pearl Abyss, the developers of the MMORPG Black Desert from 2014. The new project is expected to target single-player fans with its vast world and will be released this year for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.

Anyone who watches the previous trailers and gameplay videos of Crimson Desert will likely be reminded of Black Desert.

  • Black Desert is among the most beautiful online role-playing games of all time, Crimson Desert is sure to take it to another level.
  • Similar to the world of Black Desert, the world of Crimson Desert has a Western touch. The setting and characters remind one of Game of Thrones. The main character resembles Jon Snow.
  • Various features from Black Desert – such as parkour climbing, fishing, and taming mounts – are also found in Crimson Desert.

One of the gameplay trailers for Crimson Desert:

Gameplay trailer for Crimson Desert, the action-adventure with open world

Master of All Classes

What about the fights? The brutal brawls are among the highlights of Black Desert. It feels wonderfully hefty and satisfying to mow through large groups of enemies with combos and effect-laden spells. Accordingly, expectations are high for the fights in Crimson Desert.

One thing is already clear. Main character Kliff is a true jack-of-all-trades. Harvey Randall recently had the opportunity to play the first two hours of Crimson Desert for pcgamer.com. In just this short time, the fighter already showcased various moves that go beyond light and heavy attacks:

  • Kliff can not only block attacks but also parry them deliberately with his sword or shield. He can also dodge to the side.
  • There is also an offensive sidestep plus attack when pressing the buttons for a light and heavy attack simultaneously.
  • The hero can grab enemies to perform wrestling moves like a suplex or chokeslam.
  • Or you can kick enemies into the next hole and shout: “THIS IS SPARTA!”
  • Kliff can charge a supernatural power punch and unleash it on a target. Alternatively, he can propel himself into the air with the punch, to shoot enemies from above with a bow. Devil May Cry, anyone?!
  • Additionally, there’s a dose of Red Dead Redemption 2, as you can mark multiple targets for the next wave of arrows. There are, by the way, different elemental types of arrows.
  • With a shadow cloak, you finally glide smoothly back to the ground.
  • Similar to Neo from The Matrix or Max Payne (well… from Max Payne), Kliff can also activate a movement maneuver with a slow-motion effect.
  • Even more mobility in combat comes from a grappling hook, with which you can swing around enemies. Did someone say Spider-Man?!

Many of these moves can be chained together or combined. In addition, more maneuvers or skills are supposed to be added over time – a staff skill was, for example, still deactivated in the demo.

According to Harvey Randall, you need the variety of tools to defeat the very different bosses of the game. While the servants of Witch Marie reacted allergically to explosive arrows, the power punch was helpful when battling the Staglord.

The mix of combat skills is also expected to influence the presentation. Randall describes Crimson Desert as a high-fantasy wuxia martial arts film dressed in “Witcher 3″/”Game of Thrones” attire.

The editor is certainly excited and can hardly wait for Crimson Desert to be released. If the current impression from play reports and trailers is confirmed, Pearl Abyss’s open-world RPG could become the next genre hit for the year 2025.

With Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds, there have already been two noteworthy highlights that have achieved enormously successful releases. At the beginning of April, Capcom celebrated that they were able to sell 10 million units of MHW. No other game from Capcom has achieved this in the first month. To celebrate, there were gifts: There has never been a better time to start Monster Hunter Wilds than today.

New SF MMO on Steam lets hundreds of players fight in wars that last for a month

Huge battles with hundreds of players being part of a larger war – and it lasts an entire month: This is the promise of a new sci-fi MMO on Steam.

What kind of game is it? Warborne Above Ashes is a sci-fi MMO from Pumpkin Studio, a developer based in Taiwan. Players choose sides from one of 6 factions and fight both in and out of large battles for supremacy.

You’ll soon discover what such a war looks like in Warborne. A free playtest will start on April 24, 2025, on Steam. It will run for a whole month and depict an entire war.

A specific release date has not yet been set. So far, the goal is to release the title sometime in 2025.

You can watch the trailer for the announcement of the playtest here:

Warborne Above Ashes: Sci-Fi MMO on Steam announces new playtest, lets players experience a full war

Eternal conflict in a destroyed sci-fi world

In terms of gameplay, Warborne is very similar to Foxhole: However, while the latter offers a historical setting with World War II, Warborne takes place in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, caught in an eternal conflict between 6 factions.

Players plunge into large 100-vs-100 battles as so-called Drift Masters from a top-down perspective. These can occur anytime and anywhere on the map. Whether you join a guild or prefer to go solo into battle is up to you.

Your success on the battlefield depends not only on the fighters on your side but also on strategic decisions. Good preparation and logistics can make the difference between victory and defeat.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend: Sometimes it is smarter to cooperate with another faction to defeat a stronger opponent. However, keep in mind that there can only be one winner in the end – betrayal is therefore inevitable.

Each war lasts one month, after which the map resets. Each side starts anew, assembling armies and defenses. With regular updates, the developers aim to ensure that the wars never become boring.

Foxhole already provides a very good example of what makes MMOs like this appealing. However, unlike in Warborne, the developers there do not decide when a war is over – at least not typically. Once, the developers of Foxhole had to intervene: 70 days and 9 million dead: Developers have to stop a war in an MMO on Steam

A manga shows what job Sailor Moon would work in today

Those who are great fans of Magical Girls might have found new anime and manga content with Magilumiere Inc. Here, what Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura do becomes a profession. 

What is the manga about? In Magilumiere Inc., we follow the adventures of Kana Sakuragi. She applies for countless jobs but is rejected every time. Suddenly, she gets involved in an incident where she helps a Magical Girl named Hitomi Koshigaya defeat a monster.

This draws the attention of the start-up company where Hitomi works. She manages to snag a coveted job as a Magical Girl. The manga then follows her career and all the encounters she has with the dangerous creatures.

The manga is a mix of comedy and action and does not take itself as seriously as other Magical Girl series, such as Sailor Moon or Pretty Cure. It also shows how Magical Girls would fare in today’s RTL2 anime.

There is even an anime for Magilumiere Inc.:

Start video
Magilumiere Inc. – Trailer for the Anime with Modern Magical Girls

This is how Magical Girls would work today

What is special about the manga? The story shows what being a Magical Girl as a profession would look like. There are many companies that specialize in eliminating the so-called Kaiis and equip their employees with state-of-the-art technology.

  • The Magical Girls fly on high-tech brooms that can also be used as weapons
  • To launch attacks, precise specifications must be made, such as power and pattern
  • Even the transformation into a Magical Girl only happens when a specific code is activated
  • USB sticks are used to catch the monsters

The humor is evident not only in the absurd setting but also in the characters. For example, the boss of the start-up company is an adult man who is in cosplay. There are numerous situations that make the reader chuckle.

What are the weaknesses of the manga? The fights seem less threatening than in many Magical Girl series. The girls rarely get into trouble, and the monsters do not seem very menacing. 

This is partly because the protagonists are rarely aware of the dangerous situation. But the monsters are also to blame for the lack of threatening situations. They come across as generic and not very dangerous.

Those who can live with these negative aspects can confidently dive into the manga. It is published by Crunchyroll.

And what if I don’t like reading mangas? There is even an anime for Magilumiere Inc. since 2024. In Germany, you can watch the 12 episodes on Amazon Prime. However, the anime is rated slightly lower on MAL compared to the manga. The manga has a score of 7.41 / 10 based on around 2,000 reviews, while the anime only scores 6.96 with nearly 9,500 ratings.

A good alternative anime remains the classic of Magical-Girl animes. Sailor Moon can still be watched today as a series and fascinates even new fans who didn’t know the anime from the 90s through a remake: 5 reasons why you can still watch Sailor Moon today

Gen Z has hardly started working, almost 40% want to quit and prefer to live off social benefits

A survey has examined the work situation in the United Kingdom: Many young people feel mentally stressed and want to quit their jobs already. However, the alternative of living off social benefits is not exactly easier.

Our cover image is a symbolic image.

The “PricewaterhouseCoopers”, short PwC, has examined the employment situation in the United Kingdom in an “Inactivity Report”. In their survey, they found that inactivity in the United Kingdom could continue to rise because employees want to leave the workforce.

How bad do the numbers look in the labor market?

  • 10% are currently actively considering leaving the workforce, affecting both women and men equally.
  • Another 19% of employees have seriously considered leaving the workforce for an extended period in the last 12 months.
  • 37% of those aged 18 to 24 reported that in the past year they either seriously considered quitting their job or are currently actively considering it.

Especially young people are considering becoming a so-called NEET. NEET stands for “Not in Education, Employment or Training” and means that the person is currently not in training, working, or in school/university. Instead of working, they would prefer to live off social benefits.

Applying for social benefits feels like a ‘full-time job without any benefits’

However, the alternative of living solely on social benefits does not seem to be the best solution in the end. Because young people are already complaining about the high bureaucratic effort, which feels almost like a full-time job.

Thus, the English magazine Fortune interviewed several young people in the United Kingdom who have engaged with unemployment and social benefits, only to find that it is ultimately much more difficult than the conventional alternative: “Applying for social benefits is a full-time job without any benefits.”

Why are many quitting their jobs? Many individuals, as reported by PwC, have left their jobs primarily due to mental health issues and attribute their problems to a lack of support from companies.

When asked what brought them to this situation, the vast majority did not mention high salaries or positions but simply stated that flexibility at work and support from their bosses would help them cope better with these mental health issues.

The trend of quitting one’s job can be observed across the entire population: The results are consistent across various income levels, education, commuting times, and regions.

Generation Z is pushing for entry into the labor market. According to statistics, a large portion has a university degree. However, this is causing some young individuals to struggle because there are too many applicants for too few positions. In Germany, every 5th employee is overqualified: Generation Z is the most educated generation in history: Unfortunately, they are also the most overqualified in the labor market.

Path of Exile 2 aimed to improve everything with the new patch, but accidentally destroyed an important mechanic

The developers of Path of Exile 2 brought many changes with their new patch meant to improve the new season “Dawn of the Hunt”. However, a bug has also entered the game, frustrating players.

What kind of new patch is this? The new season of Path of Exile 2 “Dawn of the Hunt” started sluggishly. Right from the beginning, there were technical problems, and the nerfs also caused frustration. Although the developers responded multiple times with hotfixes, it was still not enough to soothe the anger. Recently, there were also problems with the servers.

The new patch, which went live on the night of April 11, was supposed to reward fans with many improvements, buffs for players, and nerfs for enemies. However, along with the update came a nasty bug that destroyed an important mechanic.

Here you can see the trailer for the new season “Dawn of the Hunt”:

The portal trap causes trouble

Which mechanic has been destroyed? Currently, there are increasing complaints from players. Since the patch, the portal mechanic has not been functioning correctly. Players were supposed to be able to return to their base or the next city using the portals to sell or stash their items and then come back again.

However, while players are stashing or selling their items, the portals close behind them. This makes a return to the map impossible. This is particularly frustrating in the endgame, where players are trying to create high-quality maps to obtain good loot.

On Reddit, fans of the game are expressing their frustration. Reddit user Crithos writes: “I’ve lost my nexus, 8 damaged maps cannot be cleared now, and of course, all my loot is gone :/ […]”

On Reddit, user FullDefinition8177 has also noticed the problem. He went looking for clues and recorded a video showing the issue:

Player Gustavorad is also affected and writes on Reddit: “I’ve lost so much progress on the map because of this bug, a nexus at the highest level I had at the time. It set me back an entire level :/”

As of April 11, 11:30 AM, there have already been two hotfixes for the new patch of Path of Exile 2, which have addressed other issues in the game. It is still unclear when the developers will fix the problem.

Until then, players should avoid returning through a portal if they still want loot from the map, as a return is not guaranteed. Path of Exile 2 is set to leave Early Access as a full game in 2025. The head has personally addressed how secure this goal is: Head of Path of Exile 2 explains how secure the full release in 2025 is

V-tuber feels discriminated by Twitch, says she was banned just for a bikini that isn’t that bad

On Twitch, a VR streamer was banned from the platform due to allegedly inappropriate clothing. She finds this unjust as other content creators have streamed similar or even worse content.

What kind of streamer is she? She is the streamer Ana Valens, who has over 1,000 followers on her Twitch channel acvalens and captivates an average of 12 viewers (via sullygnome). She plays shooters like VALORANT or Deadlock but does not show her face; instead, she has her own anime character.

This character adapts to her movements while she speaks normally with her own voice. This type of streamer calls themselves VTubers, and the scene is widespread. Normally, VTubers do not show their face, which can have many reasons such as shyness or the protection of their privacy.

In our video, we introduce you to the five most relevant Twitch streamers from the German scene:

Start video
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

“Did I really do something wrong?”

How did the ban come about? VTuber Ana Valens was streaming normally on Twitch on April 9, 2025, when she suddenly could no longer access her chat. Her program OBS automatically stopped the stream, leaving the streamer puzzled.

Twitch then sent her an email explaining that the streamer had been banned for 24 hours “due to inappropriate clothing.” In her stream, her character wore a bikini and a swimsuit in quick succession, which, as she admits herself, were quite sexy.

Streamer finds ban unfair: Nevertheless, she does not believe her ban is justified. In her VICE article that she published shortly after, she expressed her frustration. There she poses the question: “Did I really do something wrong compared to other VRChat streamers?”

She believes that, compared to what other VTubers stream on the platform, her misstep (and the bikini) was not that bad. To support her point, she gives examples:

  • A video with over 2,900 views in the VRChat category on Twitch shows a VR character dancing in a bikini top and tight pants. The camera focuses solely on her backside and hips.
  • Another clip with over 1,000 views shows a catgirl in a top that is far too tight for her bust.
  • Yet another clip with at least 2,400 views shows a female character in a bodysuit that barely covers most of her breast. In another outfit, the pants are so tight that they leave little to the imagination.

With these examples, she is not trying to drag other VTubers through the mud. She just wants to clarify that Twitch does not really follow its own rules. She feels helpless, as it is a game where the rules change constantly, making it difficult for her to keep track of them.

Ana Valens filed an appeal against the ban, pointing out that other VTubers create similar content. However, the platform rejected this, and she had to serve the 24-hour penalty. A ban does not always have to mean something bad. Another streamer had the opportunity to grow even bigger on a competing platform: Twitch bans big streamer, who grows even bigger at the competition, is now allowed to return.

Pokémon GO announces a new legendary Dynamax monster that will challenge you

In Pokémon GO, the next legendary Dynamax monster has been announced. It is a monster from a popular trio.

Since the Dynamax feature was activated in Pokémon GO last season, new Dynamax monsters have been regularly introduced to the game. Similar to raids in Pokémon GO, there are Dynamax battles with varying levels of difficulty.

While you can complete 1- and 3-star Dynamax raids solo with a reasonable team, you should team up with multiple trainers for the legendary 5-star Dynamax battles.

The next legendary 5-star Dynamax monster has been announced. This one comes from a popular trio in the Pokémon world and will require you to prepare accordingly if you want to successfully defeat it.

All the info about the next Dyna battle weekend

What kind of Pokémon is it? The next Dyna weekend will bring Entei in its Dynamax form into play for the first time. This legendary Pokémon from the 2nd generation is of the fire type. Another monster from the trio, Raikou, has already celebrated its Dynamax debut in Pokémon GO in the past.

When can Entei be challenged? You can challenge Dynamax Entei for the first time during a Dyna battle weekend. This will take place from Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 06:00 to Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 21:00.

During this time, you can challenge Entei in 5-star Dynamax raids. If you successfully defeat it, you can then catch it and add it to your collection.

What bonuses are there during the event? The following bonuses will be active in the game during the event:

  • The collection limit for Dyna particles will be raised to 1,600
  • You will only need 1/4 of the walking distance to receive Dyna particles
  • 8 times as many Dyna particles from energy sources
  • Energy sources will renew more frequently
  • Unlocking and increasing Dyna attacks will cost only 75% of the actual costs (active starting Monday, April 21 at 06:00)

Additionally, starting Monday, April 21, 2025, at 06:00, a free, limited research will be unlocked. Completing it will allow you to catch a Dynamax Memmeon. The research will also reward you with Memmeon candies and Dyna particles.

How difficult will the battle be? To successfully defeat Entei, you will need to battle with several trainers. Entei is a legendary Pokémon and has correspondingly strong attack and defense values. All trainers should have strong Pokémon that are appropriately leveled and have boosted Dyna attacks.

Make sure your Pokémon have a type advantage against Entei and ensure that the role distributions among all trainers are clear. You will need strong tanks like Heitera to charge your Dyna meter and strong attackers to deal significant damage to Entei.

Good preparation, role distribution, and communication are key to defeating the legendary monster.

In addition to the Dynamax battle weekend with Entei, there are many other events waiting for you in the game in April. If you want to know what they are and when they take place, feel free to take a look at our overview of all events in April 2025 in Pokémon GO.

A New Game on Steam Was So Wild That Valve Removed It – Developers Give Up

No Mercy is a game that has caused quite a stir during its short time on Steam. The game was removed by Valve less than a month after its release.

The title image is a symbolic image, not assets from the game.

What kind of game is this? “No Mercy” describes itself as a “decision-driven visual novel in 3D for adults.” According to the developers, the focus is on “incest and male dominance.” There is also a storyline of sorts: after the game character uncovers his mother’s infidelity, he embarks on a quest to “claim” all women.

The game was released on March 22, 2025, on Steam, which was sharply criticized. A petition to ban No Mercy worldwide from the platform gathered more than 18,000 signatures on change.org. Peter Kyle, the UK Minister for Science, Innovation, and Technology, described the game as “deeply troubling” and demanded its immediate removal.

Valve seemingly complied with the request, as the game disappeared first in the UK, as well as Australia and Canada from Steam. On April 10, 2025, the developers finally gave up completely.

Developers defend their game

What do the developers say? In a statement on the Steam page for No Mercy, the developers defended their game. While real incest is “disgusting,” the themes dealt with in the game are still popular “kinks,” or sexual preferences that deviate from the norm.

“People should really do what they want as long as it doesn’t harm anyone,” said Zerat Games.

If after reading [our explanation] you still believe that such a game should not have been developed, we sincerely apologize to you. At the same time, we would like to ask you to be a bit more open-minded about human fetishes that do not harm anyone, even if they may seem disgusting to you. This is still just a game, and although many people try to make more of it, it remains a game and will continue to be one.

Zerat Games via Kotaku

The developers also confirmed that the game would be removed from Steam: “We do not intend to fight against the whole world.” It was further stated that they do not wish to cause problems for Valve and Steam.

The Steam page and thus the statement is no longer available in Germany.

However, this is probably not a huge loss, as 404 Media reports, No Mercy was primarily shovelware, cobbled together from rigid 3D models and countless lines of nonsensical dialogue. Shovelware is a derogatory term for low-quality software designed to recoup production costs in large volumes.

The only reason anyone is even talking about the game is that the characters are labeled as “mother” and “son.”

According to SteamDB, No Mercy peaked at 487 players on Thursday evening, probably attracted by the excitement surrounding the game. Even now, 167 players are still logged in (as of: 11.04.2025, 9:45 a.m.). Despite its removal from the store, the game remains available in the libraries of players who have already purchased it.

Valve is already considered extremely generous regarding explicit content on Steam, except in Germany, where there are high barriers. Nevertheless, there are still games that manage to cross the limits of what is permissible. Particularly in Germany, games with adult content quickly disappear from the platform – one of them even disturbed MeinMMO demon Cortyn: Succubus is the most disturbing game I have ever played

Someone just paid $2,000 for a Steam Deck on eBay, which is not officially allowed to be sold

A special prototype of the Steam Deck was sold on eBay: Officially, these models are not allowed to be sold, but such devices keep appearing on eBay and other relevant platforms.

A prototype of the Steam Deck was just sold on eBay. This was reported by the English-speaking magazine PCGamesN. The completed listing on eBay itself can still be viewed. The seller writes:

  • It appears to be an early revision with no operating system installed. However, a 256 GB NVMe SSD is installed.
  • The left touchpad is loose.
  • The two wires for the vibration feedback are said to have been disconnected.
  • It only boots to the BIOS; no operating system is preinstalled.
  • The seller has not conducted further tests.

According to eBay, the prototype was listed for $2,999 and was later sold for $2,000. The source of the device for the seller is unknown.

Clear differences to the official Steam Deck

What differences are there compared to the Steam Deck? While the basic layout is still recognizable as a Steam Deck, there are some fundamental differences between this alleged prototype and the final Steam Deck:

  • Some of the buttons are blue instead of the entirely black buttons of the official product.
  • The touchpads are round and not square. This resembles the original Steam controller.
  • The buttons on the back of the prototype are flat, while they arch around the grips on the finished Steam Deck.
  • The sides of the prototype also bulge outwards in significant protrusions, while the side edges of the final Steam Deck are straight.
  • The ventilation openings are also located at the top of the base in the technical sample, while they are mounted at the bottom of the base in the finished design.
  • The joysticks on the front seem to be smaller on this alleged prototype as well.

PCGamesN also reports that the device in the photos resembles a device that was shown in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by “Valve Steam Deck Coder” Pierre-Loup Griffais at that time. He stated that it contains a Picasso APU from AMD with “about half the GPU power of the final deck.” This also suggests that it is likely a very early model of the Steam Deck.

The Steam Deck and other handhelds remain very popular among gamers to this day. Now, a market research institute has published figures that show: The most successful model to date is still the Steam Deck: We finally know how many times the Steam Deck has been sold: Valve’s handheld has far surpassed Asus ROG Ally and the remaining competitors

Former producer of Attack on Titan releases new anime, begs Netflix to promote it

Netflix will start several new animes in Spring 2025. Among them is Moonrise. Many well-known industry figures have been involved in the series. One of them even begged Netflix to promote the anime more.

How did he beg Netflix? Masashi Koizuka is the producer of Moonrise. He has previously worked on series like Attack on Titan and Guilty Crown. He posted on X requesting “the red N company” to promote the new anime. He can’t do it alone:

Please do your best to promote it. I can’t do it alone. Seriously, please!! It’s still deeply buried. Red N Company!! It’s time to show the world your power!

By “the red N company,” Netflix is clearly meant. The company’s logo is a red N, and the anime is exclusively available on this streaming service. That is presumably why Masashi Koizuka reached out to Netflix to promote the series more strongly.

Why did he do that? As a Reddit user wrote in a longer post, Netflix generally does far too little advertising for animes. He mentioned Moonrise as an example, which many subscribers are not aware of. 

Usually, the production of such an anime would take place under brutal deadlines. This is not the case with Moonrise, as there are 4 years between the announcement and the first trailer. Additionally, many anime greats are working on the project, including the mangaka of Fullmetal Alchemist. Therefore, the user cannot understand why there is so little advertising.

In the following trailer, you can take a closer look at the anime Moonrise:

Start video
Moonrise: The Trailer for the Anime Conflict between Moon and Earth

Moonrise starts as a new anime on Netflix

Did his post make any difference? In fact, about 11 days after the producer’s post, a new trailer for Moonrise was released. Shortly before the premiere, Netflix also made several posts about Moonrise on its anime account on X. The series has been mentioned approximately 14 times since early 2025. It is unclear whether this is related to Koizuka’s post.

What kind of anime is this? Moonrise was created by the production team of WIT, which is also responsible for the upcoming remake of One Piece. Two producers from Attack on Titan, the mangaka of Fullmetal Alchemist, and a writer from Psycho-Pass were involved in the anime.

Thematically, it is about a future humanity governed by an AI named Sapientia. People blindly trust the rational decisions. One of these decisions includes outsourcing criminals to the moon to keep life on Earth peaceful.

But the poverty on the moon leads to a war. Jacob “Jack” Shadow gets caught up in this conflict after he loses his family in a terrorist bombing. He vows revenge against the moon’s rebel army and joins the Earth army as a scout on the moon.

Anyone who wants to watch the series can do so on Netflix. All 18 episodes of the anime are available there.

In addition, there are other animes that will be released in this season. Among them are the long-awaited 3rd season of Fire Force and the spin-off My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. On MeinMMO, you can vote on which series you are most looking forward to: Which animes are you most excited about in Spring 2025?

Read Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – All Information about the Successor of the Popular Anime

The story of Solo Leveling is currently running as an anime. For those who can’t wait for the next season to begin, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok might be something for them. MeinMMO explains what it is and where you can read it.

Use the following overview to jump directly to the information you want:

The story of Solo Leveling has been complete since 2021. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t experience more from the world where protagonist Sung Jin-woo lives. With Ragnarok, there is a direct sequel that connects to the adventures. We encounter the same phenomenon as with Naruto and his son Boruto, as it continues with the next generation.

You can watch the trailer for season 2 of Solo Leveling here:

Start video
Solo Leveling: Trailer for Season 2 Arise from the Shadow

The next generation launches in Solo Leveling Ragnarok

What is Ragnarok, anyway? 

Ragnarok is the sequel to Solo Leveling. It began in April 2023 as a web novel and was adapted into a webtoon in August 2024. The story takes place a few years after the events of Solo Leveling. This time, however, the focus is not on Sung Jin-woo but on his son Sung Su-ho. Yet, he knows nothing about his father’s extraordinary past.

Like in Solo Leveling, Su-ho lives in a world where hunters deal with the monsters behind the gates. Su-ho is also drawn into this world at the age of 21 when his origins and a new threat come to light. Jin-woo’s son has to face the Itarim, particularly strong opponents, and possesses the same ability as his father – he can level up.

Even though Ragnarok has a new author, it captures the essence of its predecessor well. Those who enjoyed Solo Leveling will find nothing wrong with the successor. Everything feels familiar, just with the sense that a new generation has to face the dangers.

Where can I read it for free?

If you can read Korean, you can head directly to the page of KAKAO PAGE. For those who can only read English, Tapas is a good alternative. 

There is not yet a manhwa (Korean version of manga). The predecessor, Solo Leveling, is published by Altraverse. Presumably, Ragnarok will also be published by this publisher when the webtoon version comes to an end.

What about Jin-woo?

The protagonist from Solo Leveling is still alive. Su-ho’s father has chosen to lead a peaceful life after the events of the predecessor. It often becomes clear how much his family means to him. By the way, he is with an S-rank hunter and former companion, who also appears in Solo Leveling.

He observes the happenings with Su-ho from the background and still maintains control over the shadow army as the shadow monarch. In Ragnarok, it is about how much power he wants to entrust to his son and when he must intervene himself. He watches everything from the shadows and sees Su-ho grow stronger.

What about an anime?

There will probably be one or two more seasons of Solo Leveling until the anime is completed. Only then could Ragnarok start with its own anime. If Ragnarok starts immediately after Solo Leveling and the release rhythm is maintained, it wouldn’t be until January 2027 or January 2028.

Therefore, fans must be patient until the successor of Solo Leveling appears as an anime. First, the start of season 3 is on the horizon. What we already know about it can be read in the following information article: Solo Leveling Season 3: Release, Streaming, and Leaks Overview

The MMORPG for Elder Scrolls will soon have 3,000 classes

As part of “ESO Direct 2025”, the officials of Elder Scrolls Online revealed what the first season of the MMORPG will look like and what new features all heroes of Tamriel can look forward to.

In December 2024, ZeniMax CEO Matt Firor explained in a letter to the community that a lot will change in Elder Scrolls Online starting in 2025. Moving away from annual chapters to a more flexible season model that will allow developers to take greater risks and experiment.

After the latest content package from the dungeon DLC and free update 45 remained loyal to the old structure in March, the ESO officials presented the changes during an “ESO Direct 2025” that will be landing on the live servers of the MMORPG in the coming months. Additionally, a Q&A session took place, where MeinMMO was also allowed to ask questions.

Update from April 11, 2025: We have added the prices for the new content pass as well as the premium edition and the dates for the start of the season.

Here you can see the new trailer for the Season of the Worm Cult in Elder Scrolls Online:

Start video
Elder Scrolls Online: The Seasons of the Worm Cult in the New Gameplay Trailer

Seasons of the Worm Cult

The first season will build on the Molag Bal campaign from the base game of ESO 2014 in June 2025 and tells a story where you will once again encounter the necromancers of the Worm Cult, who this time are out for revenge.

Since 2025 is supposed to be a transition year for restructuring ESO’s content pipeline, a fresh region will also be introduced with the first season: the Island of Sunveil. Future seasons are expected to primarily lead you to familiar areas.

On the tropical island, you will mainly encounter High Elves and Argonians – it sounds strange, but it should make sense considering the lore of the zone. The impressive port city of the area is called Sunhaven. In addition, there should be a magical carnival, daedric ruins, and plenty more to discover. Oh, and there will be a reunion with popular characters from the Molag Bal campaign – the good Razum-dar is a recurring guest in ESO’s stories anyway.

By the way: The Prologue Quest for the Seasons of the Worm Cult is already playable for free in Elder Scrolls Online.

Throughout the year, new content will expand the Seasons of the Worm Cult. For example, Sunveil will initially be divided into two areas by an insurmountable wall. At first, only one of the two sides will be accessible.

In late summer, there will be a server-wide, world-changing event where the community will work over several phases to break down this wall. Similar to the opening of Ahn’Qiraj in Vanilla WoW, the players’ involvement will determine the timing of the breakthrough and the final battle. Which megaserver will master the task first?

The finale of the Seasons of the Worm Cult is expected to come with the last update of the year 2025, sometime in the fourth quarter of 2025. The next season of ESO will begin sometime in 2026 and could last only three or six months.

Such a season could then also focus on companions, the card game, or housing. Additionally, remix seasons are planned, which will refresh already known content with new rules – reminiscent of the seasonal and remix variants of WoW.

In the Q&A session, Creative Director Rich Lambert admitted that such a season model will always include elements of FOMO (via Wikipedia), which is the fear of players missing out on something if they don’t participate.

The developer reassures that exclusive rewards from the Seasons of the Worm Cult can be obtained with relatively little time investment. Furthermore, certain content may return at some point.

Subclasses and new Raid

In addition to the new zone and the associated content, more features are planned for the summer.

Subclasses: With the Seasons of the Worm Cult, heroes of Tamriel will finally receive the opportunity to freely combine all skill lines from all classes. The system will be unlocked once you reach level 50 with a character. From that point on, you will have access to all class skill lines that you have already unlocked on your account.

For those who have only played a single class until now, new quests will offer the chance to unlock the skill lines of other archetypes. For everyone, it is important that you still need to level the skills of the other classes. The skills of other classes will cost double the skill points as those of your own class.

When mixing and matching, there is just one restriction: you must use a skill line from your original class in any case. Overall, there will be over 3,000 combinations available for the skill lines with the subclasses, and you will be able to use the subclasses in all areas of the MMORPG, including PvP or raid trials.

New Raid: With Update 46, a new trial for 12 players named Bone Cage will arrive on the live servers in June. This is a massive vault in Coldharbour that holds a powerful Daedric relic. Your task: infiltrate the vault, find the relic, and destroy it before Molag Bal’s troops can get their hands on it.

According to Creative Director Rich Lambert, raid enthusiasts can expect a fight against multiple bosses while navigating platforms and doing “crazy, really CRAZY stuff” in the trial.

What else are the developers planning? After already updating the tutorial for new characters, they want to make some changes during the summer to make it easier for returnees after a long hiatus to get back into ESO.

The developers refer to this as “Welcome Back” features, which will help players quickly navigate the enormous number of systems and content in Tamriel – while being rewarded along the way to regain their former state.

Additionally, the user interface of the PC version of Elder Scrolls Online is set to be modernized, taking cues from the relatively newer console version of the MMORPG.

ESO Plus versus Content Pass

For the Seasons of the Worm Cult, the developers have announced the paid content pass, which is supposed to include all content associated with the season, namely:

  • Dungeon DLC Fallen Banners (already released)
  • The zone Sunveil with all the associated content (June 2, 2025 on PC, June 18, 2025 for Xbox and PlayStation)
  • The world event surrounding the wall as well as another dungeon package (Q3 2025) – with the developers stating that even without the content pass, players should have the opportunity to contribute to the success of the world event (in what form, remains unclear)
  • The season finale with an expansion of the region plus new content (Q4 2025)

The new content pass costs about approximately 50 euros on Steam. There is also a new premium edition 2025, which includes the base game as well as the eight chapters. This costs nearly 80 euros. And of course, there are also preorder goodies for players who act immediately. More on this can be found on elderscrollsonline.com.

It is also clear that the content pass will run parallel to ESO Plus. Those with an active ESO Plus subscription will not automatically gain access to the content of the new seasons through it – just as it has been with the chapters so far.

The developers want to expand the offerings of ESO Plus in the future as well. Furthermore, there will continue to be free updates that relate to the base game. The new subclasses, for example, will be available to all players of ESO. Fans of the MMORPG have already experienced an initial product of the new content strategy: Elder Scrolls Online is bringing a special campaign where there are no quests and your level doesn’t matter
