Here at TopMob, we’re big fans of TV and movies, but among all types of entertainment, I have a special fondness for the troubled ones. That’s part of the reason The Bear has not only become one of my favorite shows from recent years, but it also offers an unexpected sense of relief.
Since the beginning of the Civilization series, wonders have played a crucial role in the gameplay. These grand structures offer substantial advantages during gameplay, surpassing typical buildings in effectiveness, but require more time to construct.
As a gamer, I found Iron_Monkey’s post really hit home. It seems like the rewards for investing time in this game have lost their sparkle and creativity. Iron_Monkey even had a laugh at the nine icons we’re supposed to collect, calling out that three of them were generic and the rest were just dull borders for skins. “Seriously, what?” they exclaimed, expressing their frustration. And it turns out, I’m not alone in feeling this way. The gaming community has been sparked by this disdain for low-effort rewards, with many users jumping in to share their own experiences and thoughts. It’s not just a complaint, but a call to action for a more interactive and less monetization-focused reward system.
In a breathtaking moment of high-stakes gaming, Kingen’s 1v2 outplay significantly elevated viewer expectations for such situations. The encounter escalated with intense team fights, and Kingen found himself surrounded by two powerful opponents, Vi and Ahri, who believed they had an easy victory ahead. However, they were in for a surprise as they were about to learn the finesse of Rumble. With masterful use of his skills, Kingen orchestrated a stunning display of abilities that left both opponents off balance. The audience held their breath as Kingen skillfully escaped the deadly grip of his adversaries and, astonishingly, turned the tables, resulting in a double-kill that has since sparked excitement across the League of Legends community.
The initial game commenced with Match 1, and Nongshim RedForce left no question about their ambition. They quickly took charge, leading to a commanding win within 35 minutes. The statistics clearly show their dominance; KT’s kill count barely reached double digits, while Nongshim surpassed 17! Players such as Lehends played as if they were embodying the spirit of the league itself, earning him the Player of the Series accolade. The comments section was abuzz with amazement. For example, one commentator exclaimed, “Was that Kingen who suddenly transformed into Worlds form?” It’s fair to say that the first match set a strong precedent, leaving KT searching for answers.
One delightful feature of the megathread is the multitude of questions from novice gamers searching for guidance. User klivebixby expressed confusion, asking, “Do I receive keys? I have six unopened chests. Do I need to purchase them or are there free ways to obtain them?” The innocence in this straightforward query is evident. In response, more seasoned players promptly explained that keys can be earned through gameplay, reassuring klivebixby that there are indeed methods to unlock those chests without spending money. It’s heartening to witness experienced players stepping up to help newcomers navigate the game’s complexities and alleviate their initial apprehension.
In January 2023, during Xbox’s Developer Direct showcase, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, an updated version using Unreal Engine 5 based on the original Ninja Gaiden 2, was unveiled (essentially released without official announcement).

Similar to many companies within our field, we’ve faced challenging market conditions that have affected us for several years, as expressed by Crytek founder Avni Yerli in a public announcement. Consequently, it is with regret that we announce the unfortunate necessity of dismissing approximately 15% of our workforce, which amounts to around 60 employees. These layoffs encompass both development teams and shared services. Making this decision was not easy, given our high regard for the dedication and skill of our staff. Following the postponement of Crysis game development in Q3 2024, we have attempted to reassign developers to Hunt: Showdown 1896 project instead.
