The methodology utilized data such as CEO pay in relation to total shareholder return (TSR), votes against the CEO pay package, measuring the median pay of an employee at the company to the CEO’s pay, and more. Notably, Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick and EA CEO Andrew Wilson both make the list. These figures take the 45th and 98th position respectively, with the amount paid, the excess paid, the CEO to worker pay ratio, and the votes for CEO pay packages all compiled and accounted for. EA

Reports claim that Microsoft may be testing running Xbox One games on PC. It’s worth noting that Microsoft already offers plenty of games on both Xbox One and PC, but rather than create a PC port for an existing Xbox One game, Microsoft appears to be testing running the Xbox One version of the game directly on personal computers. This isn’t Play Anywhere, this is Microsoft bringing the Xbox One platform directly to PC owners. Xbox games replacing PC ports likely won’t be a concept that will ever

According to a new report, fans may not have long to wait to find out. Apparently, two new Xbox consoles will be announced–the high-end Xbox code-named Anaconda and a more affordable version called Xbox Lockhart, which is also a code-name. However, there have been mixed opinions on whether Microsoft would unveil the console(s) at E3 2019 or during E3 2020. Analysts also agree that the next Xbox will likely focus on game streaming, as Microsoft continues to develop its Project xCloud platform. Wh

Recently, Apex Legends received its first new gun addition in the form of the Havoc Assault Rifle. In Titanfall 2, it was a rapid fire LMG that used energy ammo, and it seems that it will have a 60-shot clip and overheat if used for too long in Apex Legends. What comes next to Apex Legends remains to be seen, but many players are hoping to see some new characters join alongside these weapons. According to another data mine of Apex Legends‘ game files, the first new character could be joining the

As expected, Xur has brought his usual year one exotic armor sets with randomized rolls, an exotic weapon, challenge card, and fated engram, which should give players who purchase it a year one exotic they don’t currently own for that class. Its exotic perk is Aeon Energy which grants added grenade energy to Warlocks, barricade energy to Titans, and dodge energy to Hunters when the user throws a grenade. There are better exotics available and this isn’t something that players should rush out to

Earlier this week a handful of Overtime challenges were released and today the final set has joined the fold. Of the Overtime challenges in Fortnite, most are pretty straightforward. However, there is one that requires players to search ammo boxes or chests at a racetrack or dance club. Luckily for players that might not be super familiar with the Season 7 Fortnite map, the racetrack is visible simply by looking at the overview. The promise of a free Season 8 Battle Pass is hard to pass up and t

Introducing the Fortnite World Cup, a series of weekly Fortnite battle royale esports events lasting throughout the year, with each featuring a $1 million prize. At the heart of the World Cup will be a 3-day Finals event featuring the top 100 Solo players and top 50 Duos teams competing for a $30 million prize pool. Across all of 2019, the Fortnite World Cup event prize pool will grow to an impressive $100 million total. Starting April 13 and running through June 16, 10 weekly Open Online Qualif

It looks like more pinnacle weapons are coming to Destiny 2 with the game’s next season, Season of the Drifter. While developer Bungie has stayed pretty quiet about what content is coming in Season 6 and the accompanying Annual Pass add-on Joker’s Wild, according to Bungie’s community manager Cozmo, the developer will reveal more information next week including information about the pinnacle weapons in Season 6. Just one step down from exotics, pinnacle weapons can be unique, powerful, and a tro

As gamers might have heard by now, Nintendo President Reggie Fils-Aimé has announced his retirement and the gaming community is saying its goodbyes. Among them are two key figures heading up Nintendo’s competitors, Microsoft and Sony, who took to Twitter to offer their congratulations and wish him well. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) February 21, 2019Sony’s Shawn Layden also reached out to Nintendo through social media, expressing his appreciation for Fils-Aimé. Like Sony and Microsoft, the gaming com

With the release of the Destiny 2: Forsaken last fall, the expansion brought with it a new collection of exotics. One of the most powerful additions was the Titan helmet, One-Eyed Mask. But Bungie is looking to lessen the viability of One-Eyed Mask with the release of an upcoming game update that will launch alongside the Season of the Drifter on March 5th. The One-Eyed Mask’s unique perk is called Vengeance, which marks any enemy that causes damage against the player. Bungie also previewed more

The first change will affect the third round of Gambit should a match reach that final round. Next, the spawn points for invaders are being reworked, with additional points being added and new logic determining where an invader appears. Other changes coming to Gambit include a punishment for players who are AFK and go idle during a match. Those players who may be joining Gambit matches for experience and rewards but not actually playing will not receive rewards or Infamy points. Destiny 2 is ava

In an effort to reduce the reliance on full auto shotguns, Destiny 2 developer Bungie is reducing their effectiveness in a forthcoming update. Season 7, also known as Season of the Drifter, will feature a key change to full auto shotguns that will effectively nerf their fire rate and damage output potential. Weapons like linear fusion rifles and exotics like One Eyed Mask will be getting much-needed nerfs, but the most surprising change is to the full auto shotgun archetype. After the update, fu

According to the Capcom producer Matt Walker, Devil May Cry 5 currently does not have any post-launch DLC plans prepared for the title other than the addition of the Bloody Palace, which is set to be included through a free update sometime after release in April 2019. Nevertheless, it looks as if the arrival of the free Bloody Palace update could be it for now. With the gaming landscape currently littered with titles that have post-launch DLC practically baked into the release plans, the Devil M

Not too long ago, it was reported that Overkill’s The Walking Dead‘s console versions had been cancelled. According to a statement made by 505 Games, Overkill’s The Walking Dead on console “has not been cancelled”, with the company declaring that the title has been “purely postponed whilst development is on-going”. Furthermore, Starbreeze Studios’ recent financial struggles likely won’t help move production along any faster for the console versions for Overkill’s The Walking Dead. We just wanted

Although Kingdom Hearts 3 launched with around 10 Keyblades available in the game (counting certain bonus Keyblades), many fans missed some of the classics. Some even appeared in Kingdom Hearts 3 cut scenes where it seems they could be used, but that proved to not be the case. To do so, Kingdom Hearts 3 players must insert the appropriate code into the three slot offsets: Slot 1 offset 1878, slot 2 offset 1880, and slot 3 offset 1888. So, anyone who uses this method may only be unlocking them fo

It is no secret that Fallout 76 had a rocky start ever since its release late last year, with some considering it as one of the most disappointing video games of 2018. Although Fallout 76 was received with mixed reviews, there were still some people who genuinely liked the game and has since spent countless hours playing Bethesda’s online RPG. One such player is Reddit user Glorf12, who was recently banned by Bethesda for alleged ammo exploit. Glorf12 has been grinding in Fallout 76 ever since t

Back in December, it was announced that PUBG Mobile would have a crossover event with Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 as a way to promote both games. The PUBG Mobile X Resident Evil 2 event is mainly featured in the Zombie: Survive Till Dawn mode, which will be available in the game for a limited time. Considering Mr. X’s popularity, it’s no surprise that he’s featured front and center in the new PUBG Mobile event. Besides the Resident Evil 2 content, the latest update to PUBG Mobile also makes some ot

Square Enix, however, has given some insight on its plans for the remainder of the year. While the company just released its long in-development Kingdom Hearts 3 in January, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda eluded to a major game release later this year. Prior rumors suggested that the game might release in episodic form, so perhaps 2019 will see episode 1 of Final Fantasy VII Remake. The Avengers Project would be the more likely of the two to release, given the lack of any news since it was

Season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale is almost here, with the free-to-play game’s map teasing a potential earthquake to come and reorient the landscape in some way for the title’s next major refresh. Now, in order to incentivize players to check out what’s planned for Season 8, Epic Games has added four new Overtime Challenges to help one earn a free Battle Pass for the next season of content. For those who have only encountered and completed these latest Overtime Challenges, Fortnite Battle Royal
