This move comes months after staying firm in a 50/50 split.
In late September 2022, Twitch announced that they are not going to budge on a policy change that would let Twitch partners earn more than 50% on all subscriptions. For a long while, several Twitch partners were earning a 70/30 split, which let them pull in 70% of all user subscriptions, while everyone else earned the base 50%.
At the time, Twitch streamers and viewers signed a petition pushing for a 70/30 split...

Overwatch 2: Invasion is the start of the story content for Overwatch 2, but it comes with a price.
The PvE story content for Overwatch 2 was always going to have some charge associated with it. The plan was to have the PvE content cost a base fee for a full story campaign while the multiplayer remained free. "Free" if you ignore the cosmetic microtransactions, of course.
Then came the news that Blizzard scrapped their PvE Hero content for Overwatch 2. At least,...
Metal: Hellsinger's New DLC Pack is Decidedly Not Very Metal
Nothing says metal quite like Paramore's Misery Business.
Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm game where you slay demons of hell to the beat of some pulse-pounding heavy metal songs. Right? Right. It featured artists like Serj Tankian from System of a Down, Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer, Matt Heafy from Trivium, and many more heavy metal heavy hitters. The songs they all performed were written for and created specifically for Metal: Hellsinger.

The prologue segment is heavy on the story, which is probably to be expected. It's a couple of hours in length and will let you carry over your progress to the full...

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...
