The Pokémon Go subreddit has switched itself to private in the wake of the spread of COVID-19 misinformation and Reddit’s lackluster response. When pandemic discussions increased on the subreddit, users from conspiracy-minded subreddits like NoNewNormal and (the aptly-named) Conspiracy entered the conversation, turning the discussion away from Pokémon Go and toward false information about the virus, vaccines, and the pandemic as a whole, Kotaku reports. As a result of this increase in conspiracy theories and incorrect information, the Pokémon Go subreddit turned itself to private in protest. They’re calling for

It’s been a long time since European League of Legends fans have been able to watch some live LEC action at a big venue. And it doesn’t seem like that will change this year since the league confirmed today that the 2021 Summer Split finals will be held at the Berlin studio. The LEC is still “constantly assessing the local regulations,” but due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, officials might not be comfortable with hosting a live event at a venue just yet. The league is preparing something special for

It’s no secret that Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones has been in development hell. Announced way back in 2017, it’s suffered multiple delays, reboots and even the removal of Ubisoft Singapore managing director Hugues Ricour due to sexual harassment and bullying accusations. Though Ubisoft proclaimed in May that the team “has been advancing well over the past 12 months,” a new report by Kotaku paints a much more dire picture. In development for almost eight years and already costing the publisher over $120 million (and counting), Skull and Bones first started
