  Watch Almost 20 Seconds of The Last of Us HBO Series

Admittedly it's not much at all, it's still quite a bit more than the single still image we were given back in September 2021.

  Diablo 4 Ditches Loot Boxes for Battle Passes

  Your money has no power here.
  
  Blizzard says that instead of any sort of loot box mechanics in Diablo 4, they will instead embrace the Season Pass system. This makes a lot of sense seeing as how Blizzard also announced the removal of loot boxes from Overwatch and Overwatch 2 earlier this month.
  
  Blizzard made this announcement as part of its latest development update. They also confirmed that Diablo 4 will be a full-priced title, so while you are free to spend money on cosmetics...

  Battlefield 2042 Player Discovers Mysterious Crate and Cryptic Message

  A teaser for Season 2 or something more?

  Old id and Bethesda Games Added to PC Game Pass

  Five new Game Pass titles, or four if you ignore Battlespire.
  
  QuakeCon 2022 began earlier today with a little welcome message from Marty Stratton. I'm sure it was great. I don't know, I didn't watch it. What I do know is that Bethesda and id Software added some classic PC titles to Game Pass today. These are in addition to three free games available now through the Microsoft Store, plus three "new" games available for sale through the Microsoft Store.

  EA Honors Massive FIFA 23 Pricing Error

  A discount of almost 99.9% will be honored by EA.
  
  For a brief period of time, pre-orders of FIFA 23 went on sale via the Epic Games Store in India for just 4.80 rupees. A quick conversion turns those 4.80 rupees into just $0.06 (USD).
  
  If this price error wasn't bad enough, it wasn't for the basic version of FIFA 23, which retails for 3,499 rupees (or about $44 USD). The pricing error was actually for the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23, which normally retailed for 4,799 rupees...
