The Zlatan Ibrahimovic versus EA Sports war over image rights is rumbling on, with the superstar footballer's superagent saying "it's all about money".
In a spicy radio interview with TalkSport, Mino Raiola was quizzed by former owner of Crystal Palace Simon Jordan over his threat to take EA Sports to court over the use of Ibrahimovic's likeness in the FIFA games.
Jordan asked Raiola why he hadn't slapped EA Sports with an injunction and a cease and desist to block the company from using Ibrahimovic in FIFA 21.
Earlier this week, mid-way through one of my Valhalla sessions, I got a bit of a shock when one of my daily assassination targets popped up right next to me in Ravensthorpe. My blood ran cold. A dangerous thief in the settlement? Right here, next to the frolicking children? Things could be about to get messy.
I peeked out of the longhouse - expecting an armoured contingent of soldiers to be wreaking havoc - and instead spied a lone figure, which the game told me was the Duke of Burgundy. I summoned all my powers of stealth, and shot the target down from a distance.
It was at this point I realised my assassination target was actually a training dummy.
This year, all of the UK's major broadband providers are running some kind of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, with brands like BT, TalkTalk and Virgin Media all slashing prices in an effort to outdo one another. If you're looking to switch, this is the perfect time.
Work from home for long enough, and you'll quickly learn the difference between reliable and unreliable broadband. The former will enable you to make a living, while the latter leads only to despair, madness, and destitution.
We'll be keeping this page up-to-date as more Cyber Monday broadband offers roll in. Remember to check your eligibility just in case a certain deal doesn't extend to the Scottish Highlands, deepest Cornwall, or wherever you may reside.
Black Friday is finally here and there's no end to the PC games on offer. Both Steam and Epic Games Store's offers went live recently and now, GOG is getting in on the action too.
Running until 1st December, there are over 2600 games on offer, with discounts going up to 90 per cent off. Some of these are flash deals and those will change daily, so keep an eye out for them, but other prices are likely to remain consistent throughout.
There's plenty of excellent deals to be found and here are some of our favourite picks:
The crown prince of Saudi Arabia's flagship charity has bought a third of Japanese game company SNK - and it's shooting for more.
The 813m riyals (£162m) investment from a subsidiary of the Mohammed bin Salman Charitable Foundation "Misk" charity amounts to 33.3 per cent of SNK's shares, and values the company at around £490m. In a note to press, Misk said the deal stipulates it will buy another 17.7 per cent of SNK's shares, raiding its ownership to 51 per cent. That'll give it a majority shareholding.
The Misk foundation has been central to Mohammed bin Salman's drive to extend his brand overseas, and this investment is another move in that direction. But it is sure to attract criticism. The assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was attributed to Salman by the CIA, and Saudi Arabia has a notoriously poor human rights record, with homosexuality still criminalised with punishments ranging from floggings to the death penalty.
Red Dead Online's community had often looked for ways to amuse itself while waiting for further content updates, and the latest obsession across Reddit and YouTube is... a bridge. But this isn't just any sort of bridge, as this one can hurl you across the map - or even into Mexico and beyond.
Although it's unclear who exactly discovered the glitch (it looks like this post by user jaitom may have been the first), for the past few days the Red Dead Online subreddit has been filled with videos of players using the bridge to launch them high into the air and out of bounds. It's even become slightly competitive, with friends attempting to outdo one another's launch distances, and see who can fly the furthest. The bridge has launched some players to Mars-like landscapes, while others have taken the opportunity to explore some of the unused buildings in Mexico.
After carrying out experiments on the bridge, players discovered that horses become injured then miraculously heal themselves when bounced on the wooden trampoline. Placing a whole lobby full of players on the bridge may sound like a fun time, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work particularly well, as the bridge can only launch a couple of players at a time. Form an orderly queue, please.
I've spent a lot of time in Nuketown lately.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War got its version of the fan-favourite competitive multiplayer map this week, alongside a Nuketown 24/7 playlist, and I've jumped in each evening since to enjoy the close quarters chaos.
But there's another reason why I've set up shop in Nuketown: playing it is the only way I'm going to get anywhere with the Cold War grind.
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red will no longer detail the game's forthcoming expansions ahead of its launch.
We were due to hear how and when Cyberpunk 2077 would evolve after its release, but CD Projekt will now hold off discussing its post-launch plans until Q1 next year.
It's perhaps a wise move, considering the continually-delayed release of the main game. Despite game boxes already appearing in the wild ahead of its 10th December launch, the game is still being worked on amid more talk of crunch at the studio.
