Credit: Blizzard Entertainment Released today, April 28, the massive Lord of Hatred expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's fantasy action RPG Diablo IV has earned high praise from critics, but Steam users have been less enthusiastic. Critics have previously praised Lord of Hatred, but gamers have so far been lukewarm. They note the game's interesting innovations and praise the two new classes, but are dissatisfied with technical issues and queues upon release. However, this is typical for a service-based game and is not surprising. Some of these issues have already been resolved, and others will be addressed soon. As a reminder, Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred introduces a new storyline set in the uncharted region of Skovos, once home to Lilith and Inarius and now under the rule of the...

GTA Online Data Stolen By Hackers Resulted In A Sharp Rise In Take-Two’s Stock Price

GTA Online Data Stolen By Hackers Resulted In A Sharp Rise In Take-Two’s Stock Price

Gaming, Slider, Trendy
Credit: Rockstar Games The hackers' blackmail, demanding $200,000 from Rockstar to keep confidential data confidential, turned into a triumph for the publisher. After the hackers published the stolen financial statements, the shares of parent company Take-Two soared. It turned out that the figures in the documents—in particular, GTA Online's weekly revenue of approximately $8 million—impressed investors far more than the hack itself. As a reminder, ShinyHunters hacked Rockstar's data vaults using the third-party AI analytics platform Anodot and, after the studio refused to cooperate, released the stolen information publicly. The leak did not contain assets for the hotly anticipated open-world crime action game GTA VI, currently in development at Rockstar, but rather data on the p...
