Marvel's Avengers Ends Paid Consumables After Fan Backlash
Paid resources in Avengers, specifically Hero's Catalysts and Fragment Extractors, were recently taken off the game's marketplace after backlash from the game's community D2R ladder items.

It's estimated that an entire shipment of EVGA GeForce RTX 30-Series graphics cards, valuing between $329.99 - $1959.99, was stolen from the truck.

First and foremost, Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 have been delayed. Blizzard cited input from new leadership as one of the reasons buy diablo 2 resurrected items, with the two games now slated to release after 2022. It's a massive pushback for the duo and comes at a time when the perception of Activision Blizzard is particularly sour due to the ongoing sexual harassment and gender discrimination lawsuit.
