The rising rent prices are one of the biggest problems for Generation Z, yet in a few years they will be the wealthiest generation in the world.
The title image is a symbolic image.
This is the situation of GenZ: A survey by Bank of America from 2024 shows that more than half of GenZ (54%) receive financial support from their family, the government, or friends. The survey included 1,091 Americans aged between 18 and 27 years.
Of the respondents who receive financial support, 53% said they use the money for rent or utility costs. Overall, 52% of respondents stated that they do not earn enough money to live as they envision.

The multiplayer shooter Helldivers 2 was the big surprise hit of 2024 on Steam and PS5. The game came out of nowhere and thrilled hundreds of thousands of players, especially in the first months. The creative director of the game is making a statement to the gaming industry to take more risks. Studios that play it safe and follow the current trend will die.
How successful was Helldivers 2: Helldivers 2 was one of the big success stories in the gaming year 2024:
On Steam, the game peaked at 458,000 people.
This initial momentum was maintained by Helldivers 2 for five months. Only in July 2024 did the initial momentum fade. Since then, Helldivers has repeatedly recovered from slumps. Currently, the game has an average of about 40,000 players on Steam.
Helldivers 2: Das neue Update Omens of Tyranny erfüllt langersehnten Wunsch
Helldivers head criticizes studios chasing trends
What is the thinking error that gaming studios fall into? The idea that many studios have seems to be: If I develop a game in the genre that is currently popular, then I’m on the safe side – but exactly that is seen as a problem by Pilestedt.
This is what the head says now: The man behind the game Helldivers 2, Johan Pilestedt, recently said at the Game Developer Conference that the flood of new live service games, especially battle royales, is only a symptom of a problem in the gaming industry:
Many gaming studios try to occupy the same niche as soon as it becomes apparent that it is trending.
This leads to countless players wanting to play something different, but then finding nothing because the same type of games keep appearing – in this case, only battle royale.
The oversupply of battle royale games, all competing with each other, leads to studios going bankrupt and having to close their games that rely on the supposed trend.
The gaming industry is caught in a vicious cycle of death and rebirth. From time to time, we suddenly lay off thousands of people, and no one understands why […]
We will always go through this cycle of death and rebirth, but now this cycle is unnecessarily brutal because we do not diversify enough. We need to develop more types of games because people are playing more than ever, and yet we are unable to sustain our business. That is ridiculous. If everyone stopped making battle royales and made [different types of] games, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
Death sentence for studios
He sees this as a problem: According to Pilestedt, studios strive for safety and therefore decide to develop the game according to the current trend. But that is exactly the wrong path:
One thing I can guarantee: These safe bets are a death sentence for the studios that try to make them. In our business, it’s about taking risks, and if we don’t take risks, we will never be able to succeed. Very few people believed that Helldivers would become something substantial, and yet here we are.
Is he right? Yes, but …
The problem is that some studios that play it safe and copy the currently trending game but improve it are incredibly successful:
Blizzard has repeatedly managed to identify, copy, and polish trends, becoming a legendary studio in the process. Games like WoW (Everquest), Hearthstone (Magic: The Gathering), or Overwatch (Team Fortress) all have clear role models.
Bluehole was an unknown studio until it decided to pick up an Arma 3 mod and develop it professionally: This became PUBG.
Epic Games freed itself from total irrelevance by copying PUBG and creating a billion-dollar game with Fortnite.
The currently trending Marvel Rivals builds heavily on Overwatch.
However, this small number of successes is indeed countered by a multitude of flops, where developers now surely regret having tried to make a game in line with the current trend. Thus, practically all MOBAs after LoL and DOTA 2 failed, even though the role models are extremely successful.
What Pilestedt addresses with battle royale is something we previously experienced with hero shooters that appeared in droves and then disappeared. And yet another game generation earlier, it hit MMORPGs, where before 2014, two or three would appear each year trying to be like WoW but often not surviving long: The 5 biggest “WoW-killers” that were killed by WoW

The rush for Monster Hunter Wilds is great, and as in the previous titles of the series, many players want to team up to hunt large monsters. MeinMMO explains what you need to know about crossplay, cross save, and cross progression.
Update from 12.05.2025: We have made minor adjustments.
Does Monster Hunter Wilds have crossplay? In the previous installments, there was no crossplay, but this changes with Monster Hunter Wilds. You can play together with people on all available platforms.
The game is available on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and here’s what you can set:
Players can play together with other players on all available platforms
Crossplay can be turned on or off
Players can also add players from other platforms as friends
How to enable crossplay
If you want to play with players from other platforms, you can find the settings for it under Options > Game Settings > Crossplay. However, you can only do this in the main menu, not in a lobby.
This is what it looks like in the menu
If crossplay is disabled, you can only experience Monster Hunter Wilds with players who are playing on your platform.
You have the option to turn the crossplay feature on or off. When crossplay is enabled, you can play with players from all supported platforms. They must also have crossplay activated. All content of the game is available to you without restrictions.
Additionally, you can adjust the platform permissions when searching for participants to limit the search to all or just your own platform – but this is only possible with crossplay enabled.
If you are looking for emergency beacons, you can specify whether you want your platform or all platforms.
Can you also play the story in crossplay? You can also play the story in crossplay with your friends. However, there are some other obstacles, apart from the different platforms. How you can experience the story together, you can read here: Monster Hunter Wilds: Story in multiplayer – What you need to consider

Is there cross save, cross progression, or cross buy?
Is there cross save in Monster Hunter Wilds? Anyone who wants to hunt monsters on multiple platforms will be disappointed. Capcom also commented on cross save. They state that saved data (progress or purchased DLCs, for example) is organized separately by each platform.
Thus, it is not possible to offer cross save, cross buy, or cross progression on multiple platforms. If you want to play on multiple consoles, you have to create a new character each time. If DLCs are released later, you would also have to purchase them twice if you want to have them on each platform.
Note that some online-exclusive content (such as online multiplayer) on consoles requires a PS Plus or Game Pass Core membership.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Platforms
Is Monster Hunter Wilds coming to PS4 or Switch? No, the game was released as a next-gen title only on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Can you have fun alone in an MMORPG like World of Warcraft? Many swear by it – and experience WoW as a single-player game.
World of Warcraft is an MMORPG. This means that there are plenty of other players and social interaction is part of everyday life – or is it not? Many find their joy in WoW by simply playing solo and letting the world sink in. A YouTuber shares how this has shaped her perception of Azeroth and provided her with a whole new gaming experience.
The Classic realms are quite popular:

WoW Launches Fresh Classic Realms – The Big Birthday Gift
Who is this about? The streamer and YouTuber Angelikatosch published a video about WoW a few days ago that received a relatively high number of views. In it, she talks about her experiences in World of Warcraft Classic and how she has found enjoyment in the hardcore game mode.
Like most, she used to play WoW with other people. However, over time her guild fell apart, and friends and acquaintances logged in less frequently. With the transition from chat programs to other forms, such as from Skype to Discord, many found they were not in touch anymore and many adults simply had less time.
This is probably how many who have played WoW for years felt. From a large, vibrant friend circle in the game, there were increasingly fewer people. And finding “new connections” again is not so simple; it takes time and energy and is also not easy for introverted people even in the online space.

How can you still have fun? Angelikatosch tells that she found her joy in hardcore WoW – long before the official hardcore realms existed. Like many other players, she imposed hardcore rules on herself through special addons: No trading, no auction house, no groups. Everything had to be done by oneself.
This playstyle has brought her joy in WoW back and allowed her to appreciate the game world even more. Because of the hardcore threat and the fact that she doesn’t care what others achieve in the game, an interesting environment is created. There is no competition with other players, and the speed of the journey is determined only by oneself. In conclusion, she says about this experience:
There is nothing wrong with spending time alone and learning to enjoy things for yourself and on your own. I believe that if you learn to enjoy things alone, it will also help you build more meaningful relationships in the long run – in the game and in the real world. Because if you don’t enjoy spending time with yourself, why would others?
Do many people play WoW solo? Yes, World of Warcraft is for many players almost a purely solo game. This is because one can accomplish a lot very successfully alone in both Classic (such as in Hardcore) and in The War Within. The vast majority of the content can be handled solo and in the end it also depends on what one finds joy in. Whether it’s achievements in Retail or leveling a profession in Classic – achieving self-set goals alone can be a very fulfilling experience.
How do you experience World of Warcraft? Are you among those who exclusively play solo? Or could you not imagine a game like World of Warcraft without social interactions, friends, and guilds? In our survey, we found out, that 75% prefer to play solo.

On Twitch, a game is currently experiencing a resurgence and is providing more enjoyment than ever for German streamers.
What kind of game is it? It is GeoGuessr, a browser game where players are randomly dropped onto Google Street View and must guess their location based on the images shown. The game can be played solo or against other players. The player who is closest to the actual location receives more points while points are deducted from the opponent.
The game was originally released in 2013 and gained some popularity. Between 2020 and 2021, there was a significant hype surrounding the game, with Twitch streamers seen guessing various locations. Currently, there are even international championships for the game.
We introduce you to the well-known Twitch streamer and hobby GeoGuessr Papaplatte in our video:

Average monthly viewers of GeoGuessr on Twitch internationally (via sullygnome).
Which German streamers are the most watched? Among both German channels and international Twitch channels, BastiGHG ranks first in watchtime with 254,926 hours of GeoGuessr (via sullygnome). In second place is Papaplatte with 147,382 hours of GeoGuessr watchtime (via sullygnome).
Why is the game being hyped again? GeoGuessr is a game that does not require much prior knowledge. In a Twitch stream, not only can the streamer participate, but also the chat can guess along.
Moreover, it is exciting for viewers to watch the professionals play the game and see what small details can be helpful to guess the correct location.

A Pokémon player found an old game while cleaning up. And of course, he immediately tested whether it still works.
Many Pokémon trainers are very attached to their monsters and progress. Losing a game with all Pokémon can be a heavy blow.
A player on Reddit reports that he lost his version of Pokémon Sun several years ago. Now, he has rediscovered the version, by chance. And gained an astonishing insight.
Here you can find the trailer for the current season in Pokémon GO:

Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
More than 6 years in the wild
Where did he lose the game? As the player reports on Reddit, he lost his game in the garden more than 6 years ago. After realizing this, he started searching for it – to no avail. So he decided to get a copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun instead.
During recent cleaning activities in the garden, he finally found the long-lost game again. Externally, the game has suffered greatly from environmental influences. As can be clearly seen in the pictures he posted on Reddit, the game is discolored.
Nevertheless, he took the chance: he inserted the game into his Nintendo 3DS, started the console, and tried to start the game – successfully.
What did he discover in the game? As the player reports, the game started without any issues. Upon starting the game, he discovered that the save file was last saved on November 7, 2018.
From this, he concludes that the game was not only lost for more than 6 years, but also stayed outside all that time – and still worked. Despite the wind and weather.
The player fittingly writes: “These things are indestructible.”
Another commenter writes in the post: “See, these things are why I find Joy-Con drift so unforgivable. Nintendo used to make technology that was DURABLE.”
Joy-Con drift refers to a problem with the controllers of the Nintendo Switch, the so-called Joy-Cons. Here, the analog sticks of the console register inputs that are not made by the player after prolonged use, making the use of the controllers unbearable.
Throughout Dragon Ball, Son Goku had to face a variety of opponents. One of them was a severe challenge for both Son Goku and his illustrators.
Which opponent are we talking about? The illustrators had their problems with Cell. He is a foe from the future who wants to eradicate humanity. To do this, he absorbs the strongest fighters to gain their powers.
Cell often changes his appearance and ultimately becomes Perfect Cell, whom Son Goku and his friends must face. But no matter what form he takes, his characteristic spots remain at every evolutionary stage. And those were a significant torment for the illustrators.
Fortunately, only the beginning of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was hand-drawn:

Animator refuses his job on Dragon Ball
What is so difficult about him? In the current film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, whose strange name arose from the forgetfulness of the mangaka, there are some hand-drawn scenes at the beginning. The three legendary Dragon Ball editors Kazuhiko Torishima, Yu Kondo, and Fuyuto Takeda revealed that animator Naohiro Shintani even lost his desire to draw towards the end and said (via X):
I don’t want to do this anymore.
The editor responsible at the time even wondered if this work was really done for the anime series every time. After all, there is even less time to finish drawings for the series than for movies.
Akira Toriyama, the mangaka of Dragon Ball, also had his difficulties with Cell. He even regrets having drawn spots on the opponent (via Kazenshuu):
Ah, Cell was pretty difficult, I think. He somehow came about without me having anything in mind beforehand. Personally, I think it was a mistake to give him spots. I added them because the illustration seemed to be lacking without them, so I went through each time with a marker and added dots. That was exhausting.
For animator Nakatsuru, it was particularly painful to add other details such as shadows or similar on top of the spots. Thus, animating Cell became a real torment for him.
The flight to vacation can be quite tedious without the internet. MyMMO author Cedric Holmeier, however, has a trick on how TikTok can save GenZ from boredom.
Munich Airport, 12:00 PM, rush hour. After a stressful journey full of train cancellations and delays, I make my way to the airplane. The destination is Malta, my vacation country of choice as a break from the dreary German late winter. Once I reach my window seat on the airplane, I usually ask myself, “How am I going to pass the time now?”, but not this time. This time I am prepared.

Two hours and thirty minutes
As part of Generation Z, I am accustomed to many stereotypes. One of them: We spend too much time on social media. And yes – guilty as charged. My screen time is already high due to my profession, but in my free time, I also indulge in a good dose of dog and cat videos, travel and vacation tips, and the latest restaurant recommendations within a radius of 150 kilometers.
That’s why I spend more time on TikTok than I’d sometimes like to admit. Too often, I find myself in a snooze-button spiral – just one more video, then I’ll stop. But this time, that was going to pay off.
Just as we reached cruising altitude, I read the last tweets on my updated timeline before switching to TikTok. On this flight, there’s no Wi-Fi – yet I will spend the next 2 hours on the app.
On the evening before my flight, I lie awake in bed staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, a video I saw months ago pops into my head. “Wasn’t there this hidden TikTok feature?” I grab my phone, search in the settings, and actually find the feature from my flash of insight.
It is located when you go to your profile, under the three lines at the top right. Then go to “Settings” → “Cache and Mobile Data” → “Offline Videos”. Here you can also set how many videos you want to download.
This very feature saved my flight. Instead of playing half-fun offline games out of boredom, I scroll through my videos as usual. Since I also watched some videos related to my travel destination beforehand, I immediately receive restaurant recommendations, sights, and warnings about tourist traps while in the airplane.
Even before I finished watching the 200 videos, we were already preparing for landing. The fact that I can now also watch my favorite social medium in the airplane is fantastic, and on the return flight, I repeated the whole process with fresh videos.

In League of Legends, the South Korean team T1 is the world champion and the most popular team in the world, especially because of superstar Faker. However, 2025 hasn’t gone as desired so far. They changed the starting lineup to give 18-year-old ADC Sin “Smash” Geum-jae a chance. Now the CEO says: That’s over for now. Joe Marsh even overrides the coaches of his LoL team.
What’s going on at T1? T1 had an unusual problem for a LoL team at the beginning of 2025. They had too many good players:
In the ADC role, T1 has Smash, an 18-year-old super talent who apparently impressed in training and whom the coaches wanted to give a chance.
But they also have 23-year-old Gumayusi on the team: he is an absolute fan favorite. With him on the bot lane, T1 has become world champion twice.
Gumayusi is also known for his dedication and loyalty to T1. There was no apparent reason to swap him out and remove another piece from the legendary 5-man roster, after having already lost top laner Zeus.
The coaches decided to let performance in training decide and used the young Smash in the majority of matches: Smash played 15 games, while Gumayusi only played 5.

Rookie performs strongly, but T1 is eliminated early from the playoffs
This was the result: The problem was that while Smash played excellently and excelled in the statistics, T1’s success was lacking. T1 was eliminated in the first round of the LCK Cup playoffs 2025 against the later champion Hanwha Life, who then also won the international tournament First Stand.
And every season where T1 is eliminated so early triggers a medium-level identity crisis among the success-driven fans of T1.
Joe Marsh is the American boss of the South Korean team T1.
CEO orders change of starting lineup
This is the result now: The American CEO of T1, Joe Marsh, has now announced his decision (via X):
He understands the frustration about T1 not commenting on the “6-man roster”. They discuss the topic internally very intensively.
He now orders that Gumayusi returns to the starting lineup.
The CEO says he trusts the coaches, but in his responsibility as CEO, he believes it is the best decision for T1.
Marsh, however, says: Even if Gumayusi starts the season, he will continue to compete with Smash. The coaches will then decide who is ahead and who the better player is will play.
What’s behind this: It is very unusual for a CEO to publicly say: This is my decision. I made a sporting decision here and overruled the coaches, as it is actually not his job. No coach in any sport in the world likes it when “the suits,” the businessmen, interfere with the lineup.
Marsh wants to score points with fans who were upset about T1’s poor performance.
It is also an economic decision, as Gumayusi with his large fanbase is economically more valuable.
However, the wording of the statement is generally seen as problematic. It seems that the coaching team is very convinced of Smash and that the CEO wanted to send a signal by publicly overruling them and enforcing his opinion. It is clear that Gumayusi is now under special pressure and has to deliver: LoL is the #1 game on Twitch, sacrificing sports integrity to keep it that way

The community of World of Warcraft is upset about the loot system. Group looting or personal loot? Which is better?
In World of Warcraft, few things are as important as acquiring loot. It’s no wonder that this is a hot topic of discussion among fans. Especially in competition with “randoms”, i.e., players you don’t know, loot can be very frustrating when everyone can roll for it. Thus, the demand is: Personal loot in LFR must return. A view that apparently receives great support.
Start video
WoW Patch 11.1: Gallywix’s Control over the Cartels
What is the problem with group looting? Group looting is the “classic” way of distributing loot, as it has worked since the Vanilla days. This means that all players can see the loot after defeating a boss and then choose how they wish to roll for it. With need (I want to equip this), with greed (I want to sell this), or for transmog (I want this as a template).
The problem here is that many people choose need, even if they don’t actually need the item. There can be several reasons for this:
Need is weighted more heavily than transmog. A need roll always wins over those who roll for transmog.
The loot is still tradable after receiving it. So if friends go on an adventure together, all friends simply roll “need” to give it to the friend who actually needs it. This gives a group effectively multiple rolls.
Well-equipped characters, who usually participate in normal or heroic raids, often visit the raid on LFR difficulty just to get new transmog templates. This often leads to situations where an extremely well-equipped character rolls need on loot that is actually much worse than what they already have.
This leads to frustration, as the following Reddit thread shows:

This is how the community discusses it: In the WoW subreddit, the topic is brought up from time to time. A new post with nearly 2,000 upvotes has brought many arguments for and against this type of looting. In it, Brilliant-Elk-6831 complains that he rarely gets loot in LFR. Often something is “rolled away” from him, often by characters who don’t really need that loot – or by friend groups who roll for an item together to then give it to someone.
While the post gets a lot of support, there are also numerous comments disagreeing and pointing out why personal loot wouldn’t be better, as zztopar explains:
I have to correct you, because it is more likely that you get gear if you can roll for it compared to personal loot. Because contrary to what many commentators here believe, not everyone in the raid rolls need on everything. I know this because I regularly pass when I don’t need something in LFR – and I’m sure others do the same.
If something drops, and 7/10 players roll on it, then you have a 1:7 chance to win the item. If it is simply randomly given to one of the 10 people, then the chance would be 1:10. To me, it sounds like people want to shoot themselves in the foot by changing the loot system because they don’t like the feeling of seeing someone else win when rolling.
More cynically put by Defiant_Initiative92:
Group looting exists only because people complained about personal loot. Now it’s the people who liked personal loot who are complaining about group looting. These two systems are not equivalent and will always be weighed against each other. The only solution is a new, different system of gearing that annoys both sides at the same time.
Why did Blizzard change it at all? A few expansions ago, there was “personal loot” in LFR. This meant that when defeating a boss, it was simply rolled internally who would receive loot – those characters would then receive the item directly into their inventory. There was no visible rolling, and no one had to select “need” or “greed”.
However, there was the problem that some felt they were “never” getting anything, while other characters got multiple items in a row. By reintroducing group looting, more interaction with potential loot was supposed to be possible, so that everyone could see: Yes, something actually dropped that I could have received.
There seems to be no perfect solution to the loot problem, even if mechanics like the weekly treasure chest already contribute to ensuring that you at least get something guaranteed. Both personal loot and group looting have pros and cons – and maybe Blizzard needs a completely new solution to eliminate the weaknesses of both systems. The wrong loot system is also particularly annoying, especially with the 5 Classic weapons with the craziest effects.

If you want to buy a graphics card, you will regularly come across the abbreviation OC. MeinMMO explains what OC means and what is behind it.
If you want to buy a graphics card, you will encounter not only the names of the graphics cards but also various abbreviations. One of them is the acronym OC. MeinMMO explains what OC stands for and what it means for your next graphics card purchase.
OC stands for overclocking, but the additional performance varies
What does OC stand for? OC is an abbreviation and stands for “Overclocking” in English or “Übertaktung” in German.
For the graphics card, this means that the manufacturer has already overclocked the model at the factory, so the model runs faster than the original model from AMD or Nvidia. If “OC” is on the packaging, it refers to a stable factory overclock.
Start video
Battlemage: Check out Intel’s new graphics cards in the video
What does OC bring? Cards with the OC abbreviation are usually a bit faster than the regular standard models because they offer a higher clock frequency. However, it depends on how much the manufacturer has overclocked their model since there is no fixed value for the acronym “OC”: with some manufacturers, it’s only 1-2% more performance, while with others it can be as high as 20%. Here, you have no choice but to look at the specifications of the graphics card.
In practice, this can quickly lead to chaos and confusion. For example: The Radeon RX 7090 is about 10% behind the Radeon RX 9070 XT, but some OC models are so strongly factory-overclocked that they easily reach the performance of an RX 7090 XT. In the end, the officially slower graphics card ends up being faster than the officially faster model.
Factory overclocking does not harm your graphics card
Can this be harmful? No, because the manufacturer has optimized its hardware for the higher clock frequencies. You just get a faster model, which should last as long as a normal model without the “OC” abbreviation.
If you want to overclock your graphics card anyway, it might be worth buying an overclocked model right away. Because the model already runs significantly faster from the factory without you having to risk finding a stable value for the overclocking.
And also important: A graphics card that is already overclocked by the manufacturer can still be overclocked by you if you really want to.
Does it even matter whether I choose AMD or Nvidia in the end? MeinMMO presents the similarities and differences between AMD and Nvidia and explains what you should consider before your next graphics card purchase: How important is it to buy AMD or Nvidia when getting a graphics card?

Most people in Warhammer 40,000 live a dystopian existence somewhere in the depths of surreal mega-polities. A few chosen ones, however, are allowed to navigate the stars – and enjoy almost complete freedom.
The Imperium of Man has quite strict rules regarding the handling of certain things and beings – for example, the Xenos, or “aliens.” The general rule is: Anything that is remotely non-human is forbidden.
These rules apply to the vast majority of humanity, and only a few make exceptions. Most of these individuals are Inquisitors, who have to deal with corrupted things for the protection of humanity.
However, there is a caste of individuals who can do more or less anything: Free Traders. These individuals are entrusted with so much power that they can even found their own empires. And the Imperium allows this, as long as it does not lead to significant conflicts of interest.

Free Traders possess a letter of marque, a document that elevates them to “the highest rank attainable by a servant.” They are on equal footing with Inquisitors, Governors, and Space Marines and can access their support if needed.
The task of a Free Trader is to expand the boundaries of the Imperium. To achieve this goal, they are allowed to use dangerous artifacts and trade with Xenos – something that is forbidden to “normal” humans under penalty of death. However, as long as they serve the interests of the Imperium, the authorities almost always turn a blind eye to Free Traders.
Pretty much anyone can become a Free Trader. Most of these individuals come from the Astra Militarum, the Administratum, or the Inquisition. Letters of marque are often awarded for special military or political achievements, but can also be used to send unwanted opponents into quasi-exile.
The first letters of marque are said to have been written with the blood of the Emperor himself and can be inherited. Accordingly, they serve to found entire dynasties and noble houses.
Letters of marque have so far been awarded by the High Senate on Terra, the highest power in the Imperium and the representatives of the Emperor. For some time now, Roboute Guilliman has been the new leader of the Imperium. Since then, this task has formally fallen to the Primarch.
Brave explorers or “nothing more than better pirates”
The Imperium is limited by the routes that can be reached through the Warp. Essentially, it is the task of a Free Trader to enlarge the Imperium. To do this, they venture with their flotilla to worlds beyond the imperial borders. What they do there is pretty much left up to them.
Some Free Traders colonize the worlds there and establish their own empires. Others trade with Xenos and increase their wealth that way. Yet others are simply pillagers who plunder and destroy planets and other ships.
There are even reports of Free Traders who have ventured into distant galaxies and possibly founded their own empires there. However, none of them have ever returned.
As long as the interests of the Free Trader do not conflict with those of the Imperium, they have free rein. However, if they cross a line, the letter of marque may be revoked – or open war may ensue.
The letter of marque grants many rights but does not make one untouchable
Due to the enormous freedom, it often happens that Free Traders become too accustomed to their position of power. They then fall into selfishness or megalomania, which in some cases leads to them turning away from the Imperium or even falling to Chaos.
As long as the Free Trader is outside the imperial borders and within their own realm, they theoretically hold the highest authority there. However, when they return to the Imperium, they are subject to the laws again.
This is often a point of contention, especially when the Free Trader has become accustomed to their power and to being obeyed – rather than the other way around. Many Free Traders have even been greeted directly by the Imperial Fleet upon their return and more than once with a firefight.

Tips for a Perfect Start in EA FC 25 – Ultimate Team
Strong Defenders under 50,000 Coins
FUT Birthday Harry Maguire (CB) – Manchester United (England)
What makes Maguire so strong? The Englishman has received a strong upgrade from his gold card. His best stats are also the most important for his position. In defense and physicality, Maguire is among the best in FC 25.
With 85 pace, he brings strong speed despite his massive build and impressive height (1.94 m). 88 passing makes him a capable passer in your build-up play.
His golden play styles (Bulldozer, Aerial) make him nearly unbeatable in header duels and direct body-to-body challenges.
However, Maguire does have 2 disadvantages that also explain his low price: he lacks Anticipation and Interception as play styles. Therefore, he is missing the 2 most important defensive play styles that help you with defending and intercepting balls.
This is how you incorporate Maguire into your team: Maguire should be your tower in defense. So play him in his player role as Defensive Pro++. It is best to pair him with a more agile defender with Anticipation and/or Interception to mask his weaknesses.
Grassroot Greats Giovanni Di Lorenzo (RB, RM) – SSC Napoli (Italy)
What makes Di Lorenzo so strong? The Italian offers the perfect mix of defensive stability and offensive drive as a full-back. Aside from shooting, Di Lorenzo has only values above 80. He even reaches 90 in pace, and his defensive (87) and physical stats (88) are in a similarly strong range.
Especially his play styles stand out positively. With Bully and Interception on Gold, there are really no better play styles for a full-back. With the play styles Sprint, First Touch, and Technique, he can also make an offensive statement through speed and good ball control and feed your forwards with hard crosses.
This is how you incorporate Di Lorenzo into your team: Based on his versatility, you should play Di Lorenzo in his role as Wing-Defense Pro++. In this role, he will continuously tackle the flanks offensively and defensively. His play style Indomitable guarantees long endurance for this playing style.
Strong Midfielders under 50,000 Coins
Grassroot Greats Icon Roy Keane (CM) – Ireland
What makes Keane so strong? Keane brings strong stats in his position. The most important values for a central midfielder are above 85. In defense and physicality, he even possesses values over 90.
The Irishman has 3 passing play styles (Through Ball, Tiki-Taka, and Decisive Pass), making him a reliable ball distributor. With 3 defensive play styles, especially with Bully and Interception, he is capable of supporting your defense with good positioning and strong duels. Additionally, he has 2 play styles (First Touch and Calm Center), which enhance his ball control.
This is how you incorporate Keane into your team: Keane is strongest in his role as Shield++. Here he is most valuable to your team with his strengths in passing and defense.
As an Icon, Keane fits into any team, reaches full chemistry at the right position, and gives all your players a chemistry point for their league.
FUT Birthday Adrien Rabiot (CM, CDM) – Olympique Marseille (France)
What makes Rabiot so strong? The Frenchman is a strong strategist in your midfield with a large physical component. All stats for Rabiot are at least 85. This makes him a true all-rounder.
His strong physical attributes are supported by the play styles In the Air and Bully, giving him more power both on the ground and in the air. With 2 play styles each for passing (Through Ball and Tiki-Taka) and ball control (First Touch and Calm Center), you will find Rabiot to be a very secure and pressure-resistant playmaker.
This is how you incorporate Rabiot into your team: To fully utilize Rabiot’s all-round qualities, you should use him in the role of Box-to-Box++. In this role, he will be found everywhere between the penalty areas, supporting you offensively and defensively.
Fantasy FC Kika Nazareth (CAM, CM, ST) – FC Barcelona (Portugal)
What makes Kika Nazareth so strong? The Portuguese is the perfect embodiment of a playmaker in the Central Attacking Midfield. Her already strong values in pace, shooting, dribbling, and physicality, all around the 90 range, are further topped by her extraordinary passing value of 99.
These outstanding passing abilities are supported by 4 passing play styles:
Decisive Pass (Gold)
Tiki-Taka (Silver)
Through Ball (Silver)
Long Pass (Silver)
This ensures that Kika Nazareth will play all passes (ground/air, in the run/directly to the player) with the highest precision.
This is how you incorporate Kika Nazareth into your team: You should definitely play her directly behind your attacking line so she can assist your attackers with strong passes. Here, her player roles Classic 10++, Playmaker++, or even False 9++ (as ST) are suitable.
Technique as a second Golden play style can be used to create moments of surprise and dribble past a few opponents. The play styles Fast Step and Curled Shot are suitable for quickly penetrating the opponent’s penalty area and creating scoring chances with precise finishes.
Strong Offensive Players under 50,000 Coins
Fantasy FC Rinsola Babajide (LW, LM, RW, ST) – UD Tenerife (Nigeria)
What makes Babajide so strong? Babajide is a versatile offensive player that you can use both on the flank and in the center. She has strong stats for attack and possesses 4 stats around the 90 range.
The greatest strength of the Nigerian lies in her pace. With the golden play style Fast Step for a pace boost, she can implement this perfectly in-game. With 5 strong play styles for ball control, she is hard to catch on the flanks. Once she is in a promising position, she can always create scoring chances with her 3 shooting play styles.
This is how you incorporate Babajide into your team: To showcase her speed and dribbling strength, Babajide needs some space. She has the most of it when you place her on the flanks in her role as Wing++. Here you can variably cross the ball into the box or cut inside and seek the shot yourself.
The only disadvantage: Babajide is somewhat harder to link to achieve full chemistry. A few Icons or a suitable manager could help here.
FUT Birthday Icon Marinette Pichon (ST) – France
Important Note: We had to be a bit tricky with Pichon. The Frenchwoman costs just over 50,000 coins on the transfer market (as of March 19, 2025). But she is worth the small extra cost.
What makes Pichon so strong? Even her Ultimate Succession Icon was criminally underrated. FUT Birthday Pichon is an even more reliable goal guarantee. This is primarily proven by her shooting stats, which, except for her penalty shot, all break the 90-point mark.
With her goal play styles (Curled Shot and Low Driven Shot), as well as the Trivela play style, Pichon can score from any position. Her 5★-skill moves for her weak foot also help her.
This is how you incorporate Pichon into your team: Pichon can be played both as a lone striker and a pair striker. With her speed (Sprint play style in Gold) and strong dribbling (First Touch in Gold, Technique in Silver), she is able to create goal-scoring opportunities by herself. Due to her smaller stature (1.63 m), she is very agile and can turn quickly to get a shot off.
To make it harder for opponents to read her in attack, it is best to pair the Frenchwoman with a bulkier striker partner or winger who can assert themselves both on the ground and in the air.
With this, you should have a good foundation of affordable yet strong players for your Ultimate Team. Try out these pros to see which type of player suits you best. With the low price, you do not need to worry about a loss. If you are looking for more good players for little coins, you will surely find something in our 11 strong options for the current evolutions.

Captain America is a moral authority in the films of Marvel. He stands for good, even when he has to confront former friends. The newest Captain America is Anthony Mackie. In an interview, the actor spoke about success, and he sounds nothing like his character.
What does Anthony Mackie say? In the interview on The Privot Podcast (via YouTube), Anthony Mackie spoke about his career and the path to Hollywood. The topic of success also came up, and that you don’t always get ahead just by hard work.
In the podcast, the actor even proposes the thesis: We lie to our children with the idea that one can achieve everything solely through their own efforts.

Anthony Mackie talks about his experiences
How does Anthony Mackie come to this conclusion? In the podcast, they talk about his role as Captain America and what weight it carries. Mackie discusses his experiences with people who have risen from a small position. However, he also reaches an unusual conclusion:
We lie to our children, and I believe that this is a big problem in our society […] We tell our children that if they do the right things […], they will be successful. If you work hard enough, your work will pay off, and that is not true. True success is given to you; you don’t have to earn it.
He explains how he did many acting programs before his career and was also on Broadway. Mackie makes it clear that no matter how good and brilliant you are, if no one picks you, it doesn’t matter. Additionally, they later talk about how as a nobody, one has to be twice as good at everything as others.
To get his role in the MCU, Anthony Mackie claims he fought quite hard. In 2023, he explained to Inverse that he wrote countless letters to Marvel to become Black Panther. Through his efforts, he secured a meeting with Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The two wanted him for the role of Sam Wilson in the movie, and that changed his career.
What did Anthony Mackie do before Marvel? Long before his role as Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie was active in the acting business. His first role was in the film 8 Mile in 2002, which tells the story of the rapper Eminem.
After it became public that Pokémon GO and other games from Niantic have changed ownership, many fans began to worry about the future of the game. Now a developer provides initial reassurance.
Should fans be worried? The Senior Product Director of Pokémon GO, Michael Steranka, commented on the future of the game following the takeover of the mobile hit in an interview. He specifically addresses the question of monetization. Previously, some fans had expressed concerns as the new owner has a history of strong monetization methods with titles like Monopoly Go (via Reddit).
According to Steranka, there is no need to worry about that. There should be “neither now nor ever” intrusive advertisements in the game or restricted playtimes, he claims. He states clearly: “We will not build intrusive advertising or anything like that into our games.”
Here you can learn more about the season “Mighty and Masterful”:

Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
First relief
What does the developer say about the new owners? While some players immediately think of strong monetization methods from games like Monopoly Go when they hear the name Scopely, Senior Product Director Michael Steranka has a different opinion about his new bosses.
In an interview with polygon.com, he says: “[…] Scopely has really recognized how unique this game is, and they have even told us that they would be foolish to try to change the recipe that has made this game such a big hit and success. […] I want to emphasize once again that Scopely operates as a company in a way that allows all of their teams to make the right decisions for their games. And that [editor’s note: intrusive advertising and playtime restrictions] is not something that we believe would be right for Pokémon Go.”
The monetization of Pokémon GO is therefore set to stay with the known methods, and you likely won’t have to watch ads for free Poké Balls in the future either.
What does the developer say about data security? After the acquisition of Pokémon GO by Scopely, some fans expressed concerns (via Reddit) that their data could now fall into the hands of other companies, especially since Scopely has belonged to the Saudi Arabian Savvy Games Group since 2023 (via www.gamersglobal.de). Here too, the developer provides reassurance:
We do not sell player data to third parties, period. We use location data only to operate the game, and we store all location data necessary for operating the game on servers in the USA, and we adhere to all incredibly strict regulatory best practices to protect that data as well as possible. So if you are concerned that this data may go to other places that you might not know or trust, I hope that what I am sharing with you today helps alleviate those concerns, because that is absolutely not something that is happening today and not something that will happen in the future.
Senior Product Director of Pokémon GO, Michael Steranka, via polygon.com
Even if the developer tries to reassure the players, the Pokémon GO community is concerned about the change of ownership. Especially with a sum of 3.5 billion US dollars, it is questionable how the mobile game will recoup that money without changing the monetization. Other companies are also trying to make profits with Pokémon: Company brings kitchenware in Pokémon style that is too nice to use

MeinMMO author Schuhmann has spent over 1,400 hours on Crusader Kings 3 on Steam, but in the eyes of others, the game apparently only revolves around incest. That’s far too little for him.
What is the problem? Every time I talk about my majestic adventures in Crusader Kings 3 in the editorial team, people grin dirtyly. Even supposedly nice and understanding individuals yell that I should write about my incest simulator again.
Recently, when I talked about the lovely Zofia, whom I marry immediately in every game of Crusader Kings 3 because she is so clever and has good genetic traits, I was asked what my relationship to her is! Outrageous, I know.
When I shared a screenshot showing my king and his family naked because my character had spontaneously decided to forbid everyone at court from wearing clothes, the first question was whether that child woman in the picture was my daughter. An outrageousness.

Incest in Crusader Kings 3 is only possible under certain conditions
Is incest even possible in Crusader Kings 3? No, not really. At least not right away. Because the normal religions actually prohibit marriage between close relatives. You have to make quite an effort to make incest the foundation of a state.
This involves conquering holy sites, studying theology, piloting to the most remote corners of the world, becoming a holy man, founding your own religion, and only then does everyone in your dynasty suddenly start marrying each other (via GameStar).
On the left is Zofia, the lovely one (not related or by marriage to me).
The community has reduced the game’s reputation to incest
Why is Crusader Kings 3 so reduced to incest? It’s the fault of the community itself and also that of the developers Paradox. Because the Swedish developers have elevated the marrying of close relatives, which actually doesn’t play a major role in the game, to an insider joke by adjusting the descriptions of characters.
Normally, the character’s relationship to the player is described, such as “courtiers”, “son”, “rival”, “wife”. But if multiple role descriptions apply to one person, it’s stated as such. So the people on reddit made a huge joke out of posting pictures of their “wife-daughter-sister-cousin”.
Here, a player proudly presents his “daughter-wife and niece” (in one person), right next to the “son, nephew, and brother-in-law.” (via reddit)”
Here we see the “sister-wife, who is also the player’s cousin and sister-in-law.”

Are there disadvantages to incest? Yes, in fact, when incest goes so far that the child’s parents have very few different ancestors, the chance of inbreeding and a negative genetic outcome increases significantly.
Children are born with significant maluses. With slight expressions, the child may be a hemophiliac, lisp, or have a hunchback. “Inbred children,” where the negative trait is fully expressed, rarely reach adulthood and are almost infertile.
“Your family tree is a circle” is an achievement on Steam
Does Paradox advocate for incest? By now, “incest” has indeed become an acknowledged and solid part of the game from a side aspect.
One of the hardest achievements on Steam is “Perfect Circle,” which you receive for the “ultimate incest”: A character must have so few different people in their family tree that it approaches a circle.
The fact that only 1.1 % of players have this achievement shows that the game should not be reduced to incest as many do.
Admittedly, from a “gameplay aspect,” an incest program that extends across the entire dynasty offers some advantages. Because those who play Crusader Kings 3 with ambition and optimal results will begin to “breed” their dynasty and will try to find advantageous spouses to produce genetically better offspring.
Because those who marry a strong woman as a strong man will definitely get a super strong child, and if that child then marries a super strong woman, their descendants will inherit the 3rd degree of the genetic trait “strong” and be considered a Hercules or an Amazon: And these are potentially the strongest knights or champions in the game, offering real advantages in battle for land.
Because the own offspring will rapidly have the best genetic traits of all the characters available for marriage in the game after 50, 60, 70 years, usually live in geographical proximity, and have the appropriate culture and religion, the AI then decides that the own dynasty should best marry amongst themselves.
This playstyle has been supported in many ways in Crusader Kings 3:
There is a legacy line that strengthens genetic traits in the dynasty
If someone has bred the Overman with only positive and no negative traits once, they gain a powerful dynasty-wide bonus and the epithet “The Bloodfather”
The crown of creation is the rare genetic perk “Pure Blood” – it is inheritable and prevents all negative traits of incest, which is apparently a nod to the Targaryen from Game of Thrones, who took Jamie and Cersei Lannister (cover image) as their role model

Longsword Build: All About Weapons, Armors & Decorations
Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom shows the Longsword in action
What is the best build for the longsword? The longsword is a very agile and devastating weapon. To make it stronger, both attack and affinity need to be increased. Since elements are not as strong with the longsword as with other weapons, we focus on maximizing damage – for this reason, explosion is the fitting element. The goal is to land as many hits as possible to activate the perks and trigger explosion plague.
Weapon
Dimensius (Artian weapon) or alternatively Wyvernblade “Maple”
Armor
Gore Helm B Arkveld Armor B W.-Arkveld Arm Guard B Arkveld Waist Ring B Gore Leg Guards B
Amulet
Chaser Amulet
How to Build the Best Artian Weapon for the Longsword
What do I need to build Dimensius? For Dimensius, you should focus on selecting three attack infusions when building with your materials. The element doesn’t matter and can be chosen based on preference. We recommend focusing on explosion to maximize your damage.
If you don’t have good components yet or are unlucky with the enhancement bonuses for Dimensius, you can also opt for the Wyvernblade “Maple,” which you can build with parts from Rathalos.
As a secondary weapon, either a lightweight bowgun like the Rathling Phoenix or a great sword with the element of your choice is worthwhile.
Which enhancement bonus should I focus on? When enhancing your Artian weapon, the following bonuses are especially important in priority:
Attack
Affinity
Sharpness
Element
Which decorations are important? With decorations, you are more flexible and can choose from the following options:
Critical Jwl III 3
Critical Jwl II 2
Mastery Jwl 3
Longsword Build: Armors and Decorations
Which armors are important? When choosing armor, the following equipment and effects are prioritized:
Armors
Gore Helm B
Arkveld Armor B
W.-Arkveld Arm Guard B
Arkveld Waist Ring B
Gore Leg Guards B
This is what the armor for the longsword build looks like
Set Bonuses
Gore Magalas Tyranny
Black Darkness I: Triggers frenzy in battles against large monsters
Arkveld’s Hunger
Quick Recovery I: Regenerates some health as long as you continuously attack monsters. Recovery depends on the weapon
Which decorations should I use? For the armor, it is mainly about selecting decorations that increase your attack and affinity; additionally, due to frenzy, you need an effect that raises your infection recovery rate while also increasing your critical damage. Therefore, you should equip the following decorations:
Head
Challenger Jwl 3
Protection Jwl 1
Chest
Challenger Jwl 3
Dodge Jwl 2
Arms
Steadfast Jwl 1
Steadfast Jwl 1
Steadfast Jwl 1
Waist
Protection Jwl 1
Protection Jwl 1
Legs
Challenger Jwl 3
Reason Jwl 1
Reason Jwl 1
How Does the Strength of the Build Unfold?
Elements like paralysis are secondary here; what is important is mainly to land as many hits as possible to increase attack and affinity. Through frenzy, you also get a boost regarding your affinity and with the explosion plague, one for your damage.
Attacks from the great sword are already fast, but to become even faster, the steadfast Jwl should improve your movements. Ultimately, you are always in the center of the battle because you need to get close to the enemy. Therefore, to make yourself more survivable, the protection Jwl should minimize the damage taken while the dodge Jwl improves your dodging.
With the longsword, you are always close to the enemy. If you need distance or if the battle gets too wild, you should equip the Rathling Phoenix as your secondary weapon.
A player buys a new RTX 4090 and installs it in his gaming PC. But he is unable to connect it to his monitor. The community is quite astonished when they see the problem the owner is facing.
A player has built a PC and purchased an expensive RTX 4090 for it. This remains one of the fastest graphics cards you can buy.
However, he quickly faces the problem that he cannot connect his graphics card to his monitor at all. He reports this to a friend, who shares his image on Reddit. But it is not the fact that he cannot find the connection that causes astonishment, but the fact that he was able to install his graphics card at all.
He only noticed the whole issue when he realized that he had very few graphics settings available in games. When he then wanted to plug the HDMI cable from the monitor into the graphics card, he could not find the connection.

Forgot the slot cover but still successfully installed the graphics card
What went wrong?When installing a graphics card in a new computer, you usually have to remove the slot cover. Slot covers shield openings in the case at the expansion card slots. The covers also protect your PC from dirt getting inside.
However, if you want to install an expansion card, such as a graphics card, Wi-Fi card, or sound card into a PCIe slot in your computer, you also need to remove the corresponding slot cover. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use the card’s connections, nor will the card be properly seated in the case.
And it is exactly this last point that causes disbelief in the community. Many are wondering: How did the player manage to install his graphics card without removing the cover?
I am rather impressed by the fact that the GPU clicks in like that, and even more if he actually screwed it in.
How did the situation turn out? The graphics card survived the strange action unscathed, and the user rushed to help his friend to free the computer from the annoying slot covers. In the worst case, the user could have bent his graphics card or even damaged the PCIe connection.
