  E3 2022 is Fully Cancelled

  Oh no, what will we ever do?
  
  The in-person event for E3 was already cancelled a while back for 2022. The potential was still lingering in the air that a digital event would be held again, as it was in 2021. Thankfully, someone opened up a window and that lingering rumor finally dissipated.
  
  E3 2022 is cancelled in every regard. There is no in-person event. There is no digital event. It's done. It's gone. It's outta here. Goodbye, E3.

  Xbox Backtracks on Sharing Media to Twitter Removal

  The complaints have been heard.
  
  Some weeks back, newer Insider builds for the Xbox consoles removed the ability to share screenshots and clips directly to Twitter. The only way you would be able to post to Twitter, would have been to first upload the screenshots to the Xbox app on your phone and then send out the Tweets from that.
  
  Why was this feature removed in the first place? It's not really clear. All that was clear was that users were not happy about this change....
