🏜️ Funcom rolled out a big update for Dune: Awakening on test servers, the game officially shifts to PvE-first, with the open world tuned for CHILL, non-combat play.

The Deep Desert is split into per-server PvE and PvP instances after stats showed about 80% of players prefer PvE. PvP isn't dead, it's higher-risk/high-reward: resource and spice yields are significantly boosted there, and Hagga Basin is now a fully peaceful zone.

Recently watched old #gametrailers for #Funcom's now defunct #TheSecretWorld, and in the comments there this weird flame war about why the game should have gender locked character classes, because it was partly set in #SouthKorea and that's how they do #mmos there.

Every time I wonder why some people make #nonbinary a thing, stuff like this reminds me.
