His passive, tactical, and ultimate have all been hit by the nerf stick, but is it enough?

Respawn has pushed out an update for Apex Legends that largely attempts to nerf the battle royale's newest legend, Seer. This was done after constant complaints from players ever since the character was released at the start of the game's latest season, Emergence, and for good reason.

Go back to where it all began with a special Genesis Collection Event.

Respawn Entertainment is going to take Apex Legends back, all the way back to the year 2019. It was in 2019 that Apex Legends was given a surprise release in early February and from there it just continued to grow into one of the most popular battle royale games around.

Over time, the game has undergone some significant changes. New characters have been introduced, maps have been heavily reworked, and...

A lack of players is cited as the reason.


Bethesda announced that they will be removing the Nuclear Winter battle royale game mode from Fallout 76. This mode will be pulled from the ongoing online game at some point this September. This comes from the company's latest Inside the Vault blog posting.

As with most of these decisions, the move to shut down this game mode came down to the fact that it was losing players over time. Players simply preferred to partake...

The aliens aren't coming, they're already here.

Fortnite lore is weird. Yes, the battle royale game does have lore and a lot of it. The latest story beat kicked off today with Chapter 2 Season 7. The latest season is entitled "INVASION" and yes, it involves aliens. It also includes a Rick and Morty crossover as well? There's probably more but it's hard to keep up with all of it.

Anyway, according to today's announcement, "the fate of the island is...

Respawn says they are working on a fix.

Apex Legends just launched Season 9, or Apex Legends: Legacy if you want to be official, and already the servers are buckling under the pressure from players trying to get in. This new season added in a bunch of new content including a permanent 3v3 mode, Arena.

New map, same old problems.

Call of Duty: Warzone and exploits. Name a more iconic duo. The latest one involves an exploit with the new map, Verdansk '84. It seems as though players have found a way to reach areas of the map that are not normally accessible during typical play.

Specifically, players are able to clip through parts of the map and walk underneath the map. This obviously allows them to kill enemies without ever being seen or detected.

Raven Software...

Activision says the break from the Verdansk you knew is a permanent one.

Following yesterday's big nuclear event, the iconic Call of Duty: Warzone map of Verdansk will forever be changed. The rumors ended up coming true and at the start of Season 3 today, Warzone has gone back in time to 1984. The "new" map introduced today in Warzone is a 1984 version of Verdansk complete with modified landmarks but still roughly the same layout as the "modern" location that fans...

But how many of those players are returning cheaters?

With just one day left before a big nuclear event hits Verdansk, Activision announces that Call of Duty: Warzone has surpassed 100 million players. That's a lot of players for the ever growing battle royale genre. It's also the second battle royale game in about a week to hit the 100 million player milestone. Apex Legends hit that milestone just this past week.

Hitting 100 million players comes about a year after the...

And just like that, they're gone again.

Just yesterday, we delivered news about the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that brought back attack helicopters to the game. They were previously removed back in late 2020 because they allowed players to turn invisible, which isn't something that is necessarily good to have in a battle royale game. Go figure.

Just a day later and here we are talking about how the attack helicopters are once again removed from the game due to...
