Modern Warfare 2 Nerfs OP Roze 2.0 Skin, Players Ask For Refund
Players have been asking for a refund after the popular Roze cosmetic was effectively nerfed. The skin used to be completely black which apparently gave a competitive advantage in terms of camouflage, but the cosmetic item now features quite a bit of red, especially around the chest and back.

Portal RTX Adds Random Half-Life Easter Eggs To Cameras And Radios
The recently released Portal RTX features a number of random Half-Life easter eggs, most notably on the cameras and radios. When you flip over a certain radio in the game for example, you’ll see a QR code which points to a Google search for “Black Mesa.” There could very well be more such easter eggs in the game, so if you take some time to play this one, be sure to keep your eyes peeled and please do report back to me about them because I'm a huge Portal fan.
Phil Spencer Says Sony Grows "By Making Xbox Smaller"
Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer made some interesting remarks a while back, noting that Sony grows “by making Xbox smaller.” According to the executive, “Sony is trying to protect its dominance on the console and the way they grow is by making Xbox smaller,” adding that Sony has a "very different view of the industry than we do.” Spencer went on to describe how "they don't ship their games day and date on PC, they don't put their games into their subscription when they launch their games.”

While details are sparse at the moment, players at least have something to be hopeful about, Cyberpunk 2077 having received a huge wave of interest over the course of this past year.
