We'd like to think that Niantic is learning a huge lesson from its continuing efforts to making Pokemon Go more accessible: SuperData says it's raking in the bucks right now after a season of doing just that, combined with its all-virtual Pokemon Go Fest. "Pokémon GO had its second-biggest revenue month ever. Earnings were just 0.4% lower than in August...

During this year's Gamescom, Sea of Thieves executive producer Joe Neate offered up a little video rundown of what players can expect for the multiplayer piratical sandbox in September, which will include a new Gold Hoarders voyage that will become a permanent choice and the addition of dogs to the Pirate Emporium. Neate also promises there will be "a...

As above, so below, and as before, so again. Just to make it absolutely clear, even though we did it for last week's column as well, there will be spoilers in this column. If you have not cleared the MSQ in 5.3, you will get some spoilers. Unlike last week, though, this week I'm not really going to be...

The trend (one might say spree) of realm connections for World of Warcraft rolls on. If you liked being on a nearly empty server? Well, you'll just have to get used to having a bit more in the way of contacts, as there's a fresh batch of connections planned for North American realms on September 2nd and September 3rd. The...

Like a lot of people, I've been hotly anticipating Amazon's New World, one of the first truly big name new MMOs we've seen in a while, so I was quite excited to receive a key to the current preview event.

Defiance 2050 is re-kicking out the jams yet again with the return of the Mayhem and Mutiny event, which will pit players of the shooter MMO on PC and console against massive Arkfalls that will rain down from the sky starting today, August 31st, all the way until Monday, September 28th. Details on the event are a bit slim right...

Usually new MOBA additions are met with all sorts of pomp and circumstance, but in the case of the newest addition to League of Legends we apparently just got some initial rose imagery and an arrival to the game's public beta environment. Perhaps Riot Games burnt up all of its hype with the new K/DA song. Say hello to Samira...

While Phantasy Star Online 2's upcoming standalone large-scale update New Genesis has a long way to go before release, there's still plenty of player curiosity about the game, especially in regards to what transfers between the two. Sega has been gathering up a number of those questions and has offered up a few answers. As one would expect, many of...

While many players of Path of Exile are understandably eager for the next expansion that's arriving in September, there's something else happening that month: an arrival to the Epic Games Store. This news simply offers the multiplayer ARPG another avenue for players to get in to the game and will not have any sort of effect on the standalone client...

I'll go first: Nope, it's not. Unless the game is sunsetting tomorrow, it's never too late. It's a video game, folks. You sit on your butt and play it. If that thing holding you back is just fear of not being competitive, banish that thought. But this is a question we hear endlessly, isn't? And a sentiment we see expressed...
