Amazon Games is staying well clear of the pay-to-win model with its upcoming open-world MMO. New World will include an in-game store at launch but won’t feature character boosts or anything that directly influences gameplay, the developers revealed in a press conference.  The “focus” of the store, according to creative director David Verfaillie, will be cosmetic items that players will be able to use to “enhance” the visuals of their characters.  The game will have an “enormous library” of different weapons and armors. All the activities players can do in-game,

For mousesports, the process of building an academy squad began not with reaching out to talented prospects, but with finding the right person to lead the team from the sidelines.
