  Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is Once Again Playable on PC

  Though it's still a buggy mess.
  
  Last week, Rockstar games pulled Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition from PC. The games were first made inaccessible from purchase and play on the Rockstar Games Launcher after Rockstar took the servers down for "maintenance" on November 11. The severs continued to be down through November 12, which left those that purchased the game on PC unable to play the games they paid for.
  
  It wasn't until later in the day...

  Call of Duty Bans May Persist Across Across Titles

  Maybe just don't cheat in the first place.
  
  Activision has recently updated their security enforcement policy to say that any "extreme or repeated violations" may result in a permanent suspension from every Call of Duty title. Oh yes, this most certainly includes those Call of Duty titles that aren't even out yet but we all know are coming because Call of Duty is inevitable.
  
  This new policy was revealed by way of a recent Ricochet status update. For those unaware,...

  New Duplication Glitch Forces Amazon to Disable New World Economy

  This is the second time now this has happened.
  
  New World from Amazon Games has had its fair share of ups and downs since its release. One of the downs came in the form of a gold duplication glitch that was fairly quickly fixed by Amazon Games. Today, a new exploit was found that resulted in some exploiters pulling in some big monetary gains.
  
  This new exploit allowed players to duplicate endgame trophies. These trophies could then be sold off at the in-game auction house...

  The Elder Scrolls 6 is (Probably) Xbox Exclusive

  This shouldn't surprise you, but it probably upsets you nonetheless.
  
  Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, recently provided an interview to British GQ where he very strongly suggested that The Elder Scrolls VI will be an Xbox console exclusive. This not-so-surprising revelation comes after it was revealed a little while back that Starfield would also be an Xbox console exclusive. And all of this comes after the fact that Microsoft owns Bethesda, so none of this should come as any surprised...

  There is a $10,000 Gucci Xbox Series X for People with More Money than Brains

  Seriously, who are these things even made for?
  
  Xbox and Gucci have teamed up to create a special and super limited Xbox Series X console. There will only be 100 of these bundles created and each one will cost you $10,000 (USD).
  
  The Guccui-branded Xbox Series X has the Gucci "GG" pattern laser cut into the console. Gucci is calling this design an "evolution" of the original Gucci design from the 1930s. The "GG" stands for either Guccio Gucci's...

  Sony Cuts Production Plans for PlayStation 5 by 1 Million Units

  That dreaded chip shortage strikes once again.
  
  Sony has apparently cut production plans for the PlayStation 5 consoles by about one million units. This is due to, you guessed it, component shortages. Who didn't see that one coming? We already had news just yesterday about Valve's Steam Deck being delayed by two months because of COVID-19 related component shortages, and here we are again.
  
  As fewer consoles are expected to be made, it stands to reason that it will be even...
