We've arrived at the finish line of another thrilling week in gaming. Let's recap it all.

🎲 The release of D&D's newest Witches sourcebook has sparked controversy by tying the cursed Deck of Many Things item to the game's first autistic character. Many fans feel this plays into harmful stereotypes about autistic people having supernatural powers or being dangerous. However, some argue the backstory creates an opportunity for more positive representation going forward. There are complex perspectives around the sourcebook's creative choices.

🖥️ A retrospective on how PC ports went from being an afterthought in the 90s and early 2000s to now often being the definitive versions of major games. It's been an upward battle led by a push for quality features like uncapped framerates, ultra graphics, and mod support. While consoles still lead in sales, PCs have carved out an increasingly prominent spot among platforms. There's still room for improvement, but progress has been made.

They confirmed it will run on Unreal Engine 5 technology and is not planned for release anytime soon.
