Nintendo Switch Might Get a YouTube App as Soon as This Week
Nintendo's marketing strategy for the Switch has involved positioning the device as a games console and little else. But if an apparent leak is accurate, the Switch is about to get a new video-streaming option.

Diablo 2 Producer: ‘Blizzard Doesn’t Understand Gamers Anymore’
Ex-Blizzard employee Mark Kern, who worked as a producer on Diablo 2, has blamed the publisher for the Diablo: Immortal backlash.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, the developer said: "I hate to say it, but what you are seeing is Blizzard not understanding gamers anymore."
Kern's point is centred around how Blizzard teased and revealed the game, rather than the form of the game itself:
"There is nothing wrong with having a mobile version of Diablo. In fact, I would have wanted one as an option", he explained. "But the way it was hinted at, and presented, and the failure of Blizzard management to predict the backlash caught me my surprise. Blizzard used to be really gamer driven".
Walking Dead TV Movies to Explore Rick’s Fate
Warning: this article contains spoilers for tonight's Walking Dead episode!
While Andrew Lincoln's time on The Walking Dead came to an end tonight, this isn't the end of Rick Grimes' story. On tonight's Talking Dead follow-up special, Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple revealed that Rick will be the focus of several "AMC Originals" films that continue where Rick's story left off in tonight's episode.
This news comes as tonight's episode "What Comes After" defied expectations in a major way. Just as it seemed Rick was sacrificing himself to save the Hilltop from a massive zombie invasion, Rick survived what seemed like certain death and will remain a part of the Walking Dead franchise.

Fortnite’s Cube Exploded and Threw Players Into an Endless Void
Fortnite's beloved cube exploded and sent players witnessing the one-time event in a strange void.
Players from around the world gathered in matches at the same time to see the one-time event. The cube at the center of Leaky Lake began to spin uncontrollably before it unleashed a bright light and sent everyone into an endless void.
Soon after, players were met with a strange butterfly before being teleported back to the real map. Thanks to the explosion, Leaky Lake transformed once again into a new area with additional land.
A look at the void.
Fortnite: Live Cube Event Scheduled for Today
Another one-time Fortnite event is set to begin today at 10 am PT/1 pm ET where players can watch the almighty cube make its next big move.
Epic announced the in-game event earlier this morning with a simple tease of the cube's "overwhelming" power. Players expecting to watch the event through the Playground mode will be left disappointed as it appears Epic has disabled both the Disco Domination and Playground playlists. Epic also suggests players log onto Fortnite early to avoid queue times.
According to Fortnite Intel, datamined code for the event suggests players won't be able to use weapons or defeat other players. Regardless, we suggest staying cautious throughout the event. During a previous event, one player managed to break the solo kill record with 33 kills by destroying a ramp holding a group of players.

Forget About WWE Crown Jewel, But Don’t Forgive
Right up front, I didn't watch WWE Crown Jewel. I may someday but, most likely, probably not. So sharpen all your "you can't complain about something you didn't watch" swords. Lunge at me all you'd like.
Now that the dust has settled from WWE's second, and far more controversial of the two, Saudi Arabian PPV event, it's time to take some serious freakin' stock. While also acknowledging that Saudi Arabia isn't the only country WWE's recently rented out its services to, as Australia's Super Show-Down PPV was just a little over a month ago.
