Over the last decade, streamers have taken on greater prominence in the gaming landscape and some have even attracted significant fan followings. Now, a new report suggests that players are spending more time watching gaming videos than they are actually playing the games themselves. And it may represent an opportunity for video game publishers to add more revenue from the hardcore fans.
Midia Research has released a 17-page report detailing the time that players of various age groups spend playing games and watching game-related videos. The consumer survey was conducted in the second quarter of 2024 and featured responses from players in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Sweden, South Korea, and Brazil. According to the report, the total a…
Marvel just recently announced Avengers: Doomsday, which features Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU to play Doctor Doom. What other characters could appear in the film? Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the MCU, said in interview that he will “probably” be in the movie.
It’s still early days, though, Renner pointed out, and scheduling may prove to be an issue.
“I think it’s going to be challenging to get everybody together. I think they’re gonna have to piece it together week-by-week because of people’s schedules. I’m excited about it,” he said. “I think we’ll probably be doing it. We’ll have to figure it out. It’s all brand-new. It all just happened.”
Doomsday will reportedly feature 60 or more MCU characters, and if that’s true, Hawkeye showing up wouldn’t be …

While the Steam Deck is still seen as the go-to gaming machine in the market, the ROG Ally has emerged as a strong alternative thanks to its powerful mobile technology and attractive frame.

The hardware revision brings welcome upgrades to Asus’ Windows PC gaming handheld, including enhanced battery life, RAM, and storage in a more ergonomic chassis with improved cooling and wireless connectivity.

With a well-received TV adaptation leading to a resurgence in popularity for Fallout video games, 2024 has been a pretty good year so far for Bethesda. Now that a second season of Fallout has been greenlit, the expectation for Fallout 5 is higher than ever, but Bethesda’s Todd Howard says that there are no plans to rush out a new mainline Fallout game just yet. Thanks to the ongoing popularity of Fallout 76–new DLC for the game has launched–the company plans to bring the franchise back in a more meaningful way.
“For other Fallout games in the future, you know obviously I can’t talk about those right now but I would say sort of rushing through them or we need to get stuff out that is different than the work we’re doing in 76, you know we don’t feel like we need to rush …

Maurizio Zamparini says Javier Pastore s struggles at Paris Saint-Germain are down to his inability to play alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Argentine midfielder has failed to reproduce the form which led to PSG splashing out a reported 40 million euros to buy him from Palermo in August 2011.
Palermo president Zamparini said Pastore was finding it difficult in Paris due to his struggles trying to play with Swedish superstar Ibrahimovic.
Why is he having trouble? Playing with Ibrahimovic is not easy, he told Corriere dello Sport.
His lack of form has prompted speculation the 23-year-old could make a swift return to Serie A, where he enjoyed two fruitful seasons.
Zamparini said Inter Milan were keen on securing his signature prior to his move to …
Rafael Benitez does not believe that Napoli s result in the Coppa Italia final against Fiorentina will define their season.
The Naples outfit are third in the Serie A table, eight points clear of Saturday s opponents, and with only three matches remaining they are almost certain of a qualifying berth for next year s UEFA Champions League.
Their focus shifts to the cup competition at the weekend, however, with the final at Stadio Olimpico in Rome giving Napoli the chance to regain the trophy they won in 2012.
But Benitez insists that it has been a positive campaign, regardless of the outcome.
Winning the Coppa Italia would be important for the growth of Napoli, Benitez said.
The season has been very positive with a new formation and new players.

Raymond Domenech s fate as France manager following his team s calamitous showing at Euro 2008 will be determined on Thursday at a high level meeting of his employers, the French Football Federation.
Domenech has a contract which runs until the 2010 World Cup but his position has come under fire after France tumbled out of the European championships at the first hurdle with just one point and one goal.
