Respawn Apologizes to Ass-hat Gamers for 'Ass-hat' Remarks

Statement issued from Respawn's Vince Zampella.

Respawn's CEO Vince Zampella issued a bit of an apology today after members of the Apex Legends development team called a bunch of toxic ass-hat gamers, well... they called them ass-hats. Donning their biggest surprised Pikachu face possible, these Gamers™ got extra angry when they realized they couldn't just keep dishing it out and not expect some form of retaliation in return. Some continued to throw tantrums, others called for boycots, while still others did their best "I studied the blade" impersonation.

Rust is Killing Linux Support; Devs Offer Refunds

Rust became a "cheater's sanctuary" on Linux.

On August 9, Rust developer Garry Newman wrote a blog talking about potential plans for the long neglected Linux client for their open-world survival game. In the blog, Newman talks about how he and the team could have done more to support the client, even if he says their support "might have been above average."

He goes on to say that the Linux version had "become more popular with the cheating community." However, even with performance and anti-cheat improvements coming soon to the Windows...

The creative director for Halo Infinite, Tim Longo, is no longer employed at 343 Industries. His departure comes just a few weeks after he had moved to a different role within the company a few weeks back. The details surrounding his move to that "new role" are quite scarce.

    FIFA 20: What's New and What are People's Early Opinions on It?


    Soccer has been getting more and more popular in America for quite a few years now. Many think that it will one day break into the top echelons of US sports to sit alongside football as the most popular around. While US NFL fans look for the best PA sportsbooks for football to bet on as the season gears up for another year, soccer fans will also be looking forward to seeing how this season pans out.

    Alongside the start of a new season, the big event around this time of year for any soccer fans that are into video games is the release of a new FIFA game. Developers EA Sports usually release a new installment of the title around September of each year. This year is no different, with FIFA 20 set to release from 27th September 2019 for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

    The Rise of Online Bingo and Its Advantages


    So many traditional games that have been played for centuries got their online versions as soon as that was made possible by technology. Some of the online variants became more popular than their conventional counterparts, other games weren’t as successful, but it is clear that the internet changed the way we look at games and gaming in general.

    Bingo is a game that many thought wouldn’t do well online. In fact, when the first online bingo sites were launched more than 15 years ago, many thought that online bingo will never become a trend, but will remain more of a fringe,...

    The 2019 International Main Event Begins

    Over $33 million is up for grabs.

    Valve just passed along word that the Main Event festivities for The International Dota 2 Championships for 2019 have officially kicked off. This is all going down at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China.

    This is the ninth annual event and, once again, it has broken all sorts of records by having the biggest community-driven prize pool of over $33 million. First place is looking to get $15,276,981 once all is said and done. I think that amount can even go higher before the event ends, so that's kind of nuts.
