Hey, fellow gamers!

Brace yourselves for a wild ride through today's biggest gaming news!

We're halfway to the weekend - let's tackle the latest news:

🛍️ Attempts to resell the Baldur's Gate 3 Deluxe Edition for profit have stumbled since ample supplies remain, undoing scalpers. We discuss how Larian prepared ample stock proactively. Still, some opportunists try exploiting fans before realizing market saturation.

🏷️ After public outcry, Riot Games walked back plans to charge for League of Legends ID changes and is reevaluating. We analyze the tone-deafness of paid identity changes and examine appropriate alternatives Riot could offer instead to save face.

🌕 Half-Life celebrated 25 years which sent Steam player counts surging to a new record high as veterans returned. We discuss the festivities and what propels the classic FPS's remarkable longevity that keeps fans engaged decades later. Its influential legacy lives on.
