    Phishing is to blame for this latest infiltration.

    According to leaked internal documents, Activision had a bit of a security breach on December 4, 2022. It was on this date where someone with high-level access to the internal Activision network was phished and their credentials used to access information that should have never been made public.

    It's not really clear yet how much of the information that was leaked only today is accurate. There is also no saying whether...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
    I did not complete any game in 2025

    I completed up to 10 games
