Dr. DisRespect Knows.. [Link / Link]

The Two-Time now knows why Twitch banned him over a year ago, but we still don’t.
Doc has stated that he’s knows for months as to why the streaming platform pushed him out and is planning to “sue the f**k out of them” for “the amount of damages” this has caused.
Are Dr. D’s words just part of his high energy persona or is this going to be something tangible?
As this reignites one of the biggest gaming news related topics from 2020; I know we’re all curious about the details.

Halo Infinite No Longer Has an Infinite Delay [Link]

The Microsoft Store leaked, or didn’t, the release date of Halo Infinite this morning of Dec. 8.
While fans expect this to be cemented with the start of Gamescon today, a source close to Microsoft told The Verge that December 8th is accurate.
Microsoft originally planned to release Halo Infinite with the Xbox Series X / S in Nov 2020, but delayed it until fall 2021 due to the challenges of game dev during a pandemic.
The disappointing facts that 343 Industries revealed regarding the lack of campaign co-op and Forge modes, still stands. Co-op will come during season 2, about three months after launch, and the Forge mode, that allows Halo players to customize and share maps, won’t be in until season 3, approximately six months after launch.

Moar RTX3k GPUs! [Link]

Of all places, Best Buy is loading up their shelves with nVidia RTX 3k Series GPUs tomorrow, Aug. 28th! Yes, this even includes 3080 Ti, 3080, and 3090s.
However, these quantities will only be available at certain locations AND only one per customer! This should curb scalpers from camping the doors to buy out all of the cards. Definitely something that should be implemented on items affected by shortages.
There is a store and stock list made available by Best Buy, buried in our notes.

More Blizzard Lawsuit Drama [Link]

California has broadened the scope of its anti-discrimination lawsuit against Activision Blizzard.
The state is now adding temporary workers to the female full-time employees of whom it is suing on behalf of.
This is pretty shocking, or not: The state's DFEH is alleging that Blizzard has interfered with its investigation!
The dev studio has made the investigation more challenging by enforcing NDAs requiring workers to speak with them before contacting the DFEH directly, or their hired third-party law firm, WilmerHale.
Blizz HR has also supposedly SHREDDED documents related to investigations and complaints
While Blizzard states that they have been, and currently are, making changes to better their work environment, these alleged actions are more than negating their intent. What a mess.
