New Overwatch Christmas Comic Leads to Mass Nerd Outrage
Merry Christmas everyone! Well, it's Christmas time in Overwatch at least. Blizzard released a new comic today and inside were some crrrrraaaazzzzy revelations!

That sure has worked up the Overwatch community something fierce! Seriously, don't go to the official forums right now, they're actually a hellscape of whining. Anywho, if you're... -

Official "Trailer" for Seasons of Heaven for Nintendo Switch
There is a new "trailer" out today for Seasons of Heaven for the upcoming Nintendo Switch. Why is "trailer" in quotes like that? Because the developers themselves titled it that way.
The rumor right now is that this trailer was actually made on PC but tailored to the potential Switch hardware specs since the development team allegedly doesn't have access to Switch dev kits yet. Nintendo is apparently being stingy with dev kits yet again.

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.33.33%1Other (describe below)0%0-
