    What is the Current Trend of Games with Cryptocurrencies?



    These days, it seems as though you can't go even a day without seeing some sort of article or news release where the topic is about how cryptocurrencies are the next big thing for gaming. Is that really the case though?

    You see tons of news talking about NFTs, WEB3 this, or crypto that. The question is: How do these new technologies benefit anybody? Well, the group that obviously benefits the most in these sorts of applications are the publishers of the crypto and NFT...

    Bungie is Working to Address 'Fraudulent' Destiny 2 Video Copyright Strikes

    Bungie's own Destiny 2 videos were also hit by this string of copyright claims.

    This past week, a number of Destiny content creators were struck by copyright claims and takedown requests across various uploads to their YouTube channels.

  • Modders Remove Hair in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin to Boost Framerates

    With some scenes bringing even the mighty RTX 3090 to its knees, drastic measures needed to be taken.

    The PC port of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has had a number of issues in the performance department. Sadly, this isn't exactly all that uncommon for many recent Square Enix offerings on the PC.

    In general, performance seems to be pretty bad for the game, and this is in addition to other technical hiccups and inconsistent visual quality. Apparently, there...

    Epic May Make Fortnite No Build Mode a Permanent Addition

    Those people who say they don't play Fornite "because of the building" now have no excuse.

    We all know that one person, or maybe you are that person, who said that they would totally play Fortnite if it weren't for the whole "building" mechanic. J, I'm looking at you. As it turns out, Epic Games did something a little zany this week and turned off building from the game's default battle royale mode.

    This no-build idea began with the launch of Chapter...

  • Online casino legalization around the world

    Online casino legalization around the world


    Although the US has long had a reputation as a society that encourages freedom and limits the involvement of government, like any nation, it has its particular areas of controversy where questions of liberty and ethics overlap, leading to developments that may seem strange to outsiders.

    Gambling was not outlawed in the US for most of its early history, at least, not in a systematic fashion, but attitudes changed at the end of the 19th century. In 1900, lotteries were outlawed...

  • 5 Reasons Why Mobile Gaming Is The Future

    5 Reasons Why Mobile Gaming Is The Future


    Whilst video games have been around in rudimentary form since the 1960s, it took until the late 1980s for the industry to truly realize its ludicrous potential. Arcade and casino games existed before this, although genuine home video gaming entertainment options were limited. This all changed with early consoles like the PlayStation or Nintendo 64, ultimately resulting in a 21st Century gaming bonanza.

    Video consoles well and truly ruled the roost during the 2000s, but with...
