Activision Blizzard Protest Organiser Leaving Company

Gonzalez announced her resignation yesterday, in a message in which she further criticised Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick and said his “inaction and refusal to take accountability” was “driving out great talent. “Products will suffer until you are removed from your position as CEO,” she wrote. “This may seem harsh, but you had years to fix the culture and look at where the company currently stands.” In a Slack message which she subsequently shared publicly via Twitter, Gonzalez thanked colleagues for their support over the past months, and said she believed “with enough education and awareness”, Activision Blizzard could still “be a great place” in the future....

Capron stepped down last week, shortly after the launch of Deathloop, which received high acclaim across the board, and less than a year after the company became part of Microsoft. The departure was announced by Capron via his LinkedIn (thanks, VGC), where he said he had helped “Lyon to grow and become the world-class AAA studio it is today” and that leaving was “a very hard decision to make. But I was feeling the need to try something new and also have a bit more time for me and my family....

Bethesda Bins Fallout 76 S Battle Royale Mode This September

In a blog post, Bethesda said the Nuclear Winter mode will come to an end in September. Explaining the decision, Bethesda said Nuclear Winter had suffered from a lack of players, which meant it had become difficult to create full lobbies in a reasonable matchmaking time. “When we first introduced Nuclear Winter, we were thrilled to watch so many players from our community, as well as many newcomers, dive head first into our take on the ruthless last-player-standing battle royale genre,” Bethesda said....

Cal Kestis Is All Grown Up In New Star Wars Jedi Survivor Toys

While this on its own is not all that newsworthy, what makes these upcoming releases by Hasbro more interesting is that they give us all a look at Cal Kestis’ new, and therefore older, image. This includes some impressively-manicured facial furniture. Cal’s beard is groomed impeccably on the soon-to-be-released model, making me wonder how he got such a close shave. Perhaps he took cutthroat shaving to the extreme and used his lightsaber for the job?...

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Contains Some Naughty Stuff

The Australian Classification Board has jumped the gun and published its classification early, and it makes for a humorous read. The ACB warns that the game depicts “tracking and killing of numerous opponents, with resulting examples of blood and injury detail.” “Violence features throughout the majority of gameplay, using firearms that include automatic weapons, as well as blades and other objects,” all pretty standard shooter stuff so far. But it looks like Infinity Ward has upped its game with “brief visual and textual sexual references and mild examples of sexualised imagery in a sequence set in a red-light district,” although before you get too excited, “The game does not feature depictions of sexual activity....

This week, Warzone streamer Stephen “Yungstaz” Galloway uploaded a gameplay clip to Twitter that showed one cheater auto ping everyone in the lobby - and even equip night vision goggles....

Call Of Duty Warzone Players Are Sacrificing Themselves To Take Down Stim Glitchers

The way the stim glitch works is this: once a player has activated the glitch (seemingly now using a strange night vision goggles method) they can spawn infinite tactical items, including healing stims. This means they can drive out into Warzone’s gas and hide there until the game ends, breaking the game in the process and making for a really boring end to the round. To stop this from happening, some heroic players - motivated either by concern for their fellow players or pure unbridled fury - are hunting down the stim glitchers, even if it means their own death....
