Overwatch 2 requires a mobile number to play

Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play, which of course increases the risk of cheating and people creating accounts on the fly to be able to act like fools. However, Activision is ready with a set of solutions that they call the Defense Matrix , and part of this is connected to whether the fans have mobiles or not. In order to play the game, you have to connect a mobile phone number to your Battle.net account, and this applies regardless of the platform you play on and eve

BHVR ignoring the major problem of hackers in Dead by Daylight

So, this is nothing new by now, that cheaters are a problem in Dead by Daylight. What is sad though is that it's nothing new that Behaviour ignores the problem effectively ruining the game for its player base, streamers and content creators.

Streamers like Otzdarva and Spookyloopz, who by the way are in the Fog Whisperer program are now opening up. In the video below (spoi

Do you remember when a young Jeremy Renner played Jeffrey Dahmer?

Long before "Avengers" he made one of the film's first portraits of the infamous serial killer. The currently streaming miniseries "Dahmer - Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer" has made the whole world re-discover and horrify one of America's worst serial killers.

Embracer is not entirely satisfied with Saints Row's reception

Saints Row was released exactly a month ago and … probably didn't impress very many. The ratings have been relatively low - enough to cause the Embracer share to decline - and sales do not seem to have been very good either. During Embrace's annual meeting, CEO Lars Wingefors had the following to say: "Personally, I had hoped for a better reception for the game. It has been very polarizing. There are many details to address about it - on the one hand I am happy to see so many players and fa

Logitech has unveiled its portable streaming console G Cloud

Just as expected, it is a machine that does not rely on its own horsepower to run the games, but instead invests in streaming games through the cloud. Basically, it's a tablet with Android as the base, with integrated support for the streaming services Geforce Now and Xbox Game Cloud. We can probably assume that other services, such as Stadia and Amazon Luna, will also work great - as long as there is an Android app, most things should be possible.

Vince Zampella: Battlefield 2042 "deviated too much from what BF is"

Battlefield 2042 was not quite what the players wanted, mainly because it differed quite significantly from previous parts of the series.

They tried to do a couple of things that were maybe ambitious: grow the number of players etc. I don't think they put enough time into further developing what makes it fun
