News Patch v8-11

More No Man’s Sky Content!

Since the amazing launch of NMS 5 years ago.. NMS has finally evolved into the game it was promised to be. It’s not done yet!
Although next to nothing is known about the new, 17th and once again free DLC titled ‘Frontiers,’ Director Sean Murray took the opportunity of this announcement to express how it’s felt and what it’s been like to mold this title over the last 5 years.
We’re not going to read this lengthy quote, this time! Just know that it’s your usual heart-felt, prideful and sensational 2 paragraphs.
As a launch-naysayer, I can say that I’m surprised what the game has become and that I now love it. Every DLC brings me back, as this one will too.
Before we finish this topic, though, one hint that Murray did give us on the PlayStation blog, is that Frontiers will be "a missing piece of the sci-fi fantasy that we've always wanted to add."

It is known that many developers now use big streamers/influencers for marketing purposes, but this may be the first time collabing with them for actual development/consultation
Given Dr. D’s favorite genre, and mentions of “esports and monetization,” within the job ad, I’m expecting an FPS obviously

More Detailed Twitch Bans

Apparently, Twitch has decided to “clear up” their decisions as to why they ban and suspend streamers. The company announced on Twitter that enforcement notifications will now include the name of the stream and the date that the violation occurred.
Twitch will still not be stating exactly what got an user banned, but this could possibly help streamers narrow down what got them in trouble. I’ll never understand why Twitch has to be so vague about the offenses.

D2 Remastered Stripping?

Blizzard has quietly announced that they're removing TCP/IP multiplayer from Diablo 2 Resurrected
The feature is being removed as Blizzard is citing “Security risks” even though it was promised to be in the remaster back in February
TCP/IP was a popular multiplayer  mode that allowed P2P connections that didn’t require dedicated battle.net servers. Mods could be used but at the cost of running into cheaters
