  Spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are Leaking Online

  You should probably stay off the Internet for a while if concerned.
  
  With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being just a week and a half away from release, it stands to reason that some people are getting their copies earlier than they should. It also stands to reason that because people are getting copies early, they want to share the game with others for a quick 15 minutes of fame.
  
  Well, this obviously means that there are now spoilers out there for Tears of the...

  At least this one isn't about cloud gaming.
  
  The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard on the grounds of how it would stifle cloud gaming competition. As absolutely ridiculous as that sounds, that wasn't the only weird thing the CMA decreed during yesterday's vote and report.
  
  The CMA also claims in their final report (PDF link) that Nintendo's consoles are not technically capable of running games like Call of...
