World of Warcraft’s 14th anniversary event is almost over, which means it’s your last chance to get the most powerful artefact in all of Azeroth: goggles that turn everyone into corgis.

Some Fallout 76 players have sought refunds, which isn't unusual immediately following release, when glitches and hardware-specific issues tend to be at their highest. What has been unusual, though, is the inconsistent manner in which refunds have been issued so far. Some players are receiving refunds for digital copies of the game, according to a few threads on Reddit (like this one, or this one), but others, like ZPKane or IAMA_Plumber-AMA, claim that their requests have been refused.

Bethesda’s solution to Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition bag-switch crisis is, um, Atoms
https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesdas-solution-to-fallout-76-power-armor-edition-bag-switch-crisis-is-atoms/
People are pretty unhappy with the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition.

Funcom dropped a new trailer today that reveals the game's third fur-and-gun-bearing character, a stone cold fox who goes by the name Farrow.

News broke in September that the Carbine Studios developed MMO would " target="_blank">close on November 28 (or November 29 in Australia), along with the studio. That's happened now, and as you'd expect, enduring fans of the game have marked the occasion on reddit. They might have done on the official Wildstar website too, but I can't confirm since that's already been shut down.
