Destiny 2 Cheat Maker And Bungie Agree On $13.5 Million Settlement
Elite Boss Tech has been selling cheats in Destiny 2 for some time now. The group unsurprisingly attracted the attention of its developer, Bungie. The result was naturally a huge lawsuit. The latest development is that Elite Boss Tech and Bungie have agreed to a staggering $13.5 million settlement. What remains to be seen is of course whether Elite Boss Tech will ever pay up.

Sonic Fans Think That Frontiers Will Be Set In Sonic's Memories
Sonic fans have been speculating that Sonic Frontiers will be set inside Sonic’s memories. This line of thinking is mostly based on the recent trailers which have themselves been the subject of controversy. “Given the fact that Sonic has amnesia in Frontiers and the fact that we've seen Sky Sanctuary and a Green Hill-like level, what if Sonic is literally reliving his memories through the Cyberspace levels and you gain context and piece the story together with each level,” one user wondered. Seems far fetched, but who knows?
Racing Legend Lewis Hamilton Takes To The Track On A Sega Genesis
The famous Formula 1 driver with Mercedes Lewis Hamilton was recently seen playing an old Sega Genesis game, Ayrton Senna’s Super Monaco GP2. Hamilton is currently in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix and the first thing that he did after getting off the plane was head on over to a store selling retro game consoles. “I landed in Montreal and went straight to a retro game shop,” the Formula 1 driver said on Instagram. “Got myself a Sega Genesis and of course, Ayrton Senna’s Super Monaco GP 2. I loved this game as a kid and still do now. Still holds up! Naturally, I got super competitive with myself. My personal best right now is a 49 second lap. Pretty sure I can beat that, though. That was only after a few tries. I’ll let you all know when I beat it.” The post currently has more than a million likes.
The Boys Community Descends Into Chaos Over "Politics"
The community which has built up around The Boys has apparently descended into chaos over “politics.” In the words of journalist Ryan Broderick, “The Boys subreddit is chaos right now. Threads getting locked, users rage deleting whole accounts. It’s amazing. Right wing users are whining about ‘no politics,’ but it’s impossible to talk about the show without them now. Fans who thought Homelander was cool are in a meltdown.” Looks like some people just realized that what they were seeing was actually satire.
