The launch of Overwatch 2 today has had no shortage of issues with long queue times and swathes of players reporting being disconnected numerous times, but that isn’t preventing them from seeking the game out in other ways. With so many people having trouble getting in themselves, Overwatch 2 has posted massive viewership numbers, peaking at more than half a million concurrent viewers. Screengrab via Twitch.tv For comparison, Overwatch only eclipsed that mark one time in its history, according to Sully Gnome, and it was for the Overwatch 2 beta this past April. The OW2 beta helped the game’s Twitch category hit a peak of 1.46 million concurrent viewers on April 27. As one might expect, the creator with the most viewers has been former Overwatch League pro xQc, who has steadily maintained more than 100,000 viewers in the category at the time of writing. Other top OW2 players streaming the title are familiar faces that aren’t necessarily known for loading up into the class-based shooting game too. Twitch mainstays like Asmongold, Moistcr1tikal, and Lirik have all hovered around 20,000 viewers as well, putting them at the top of the newly-minted broadcast category. The Overwatch 2 launch has been anything…

Russia appears to be flexing its muscle to show control over big technological companies by issuing fines to two major online platforms.On Tuesday, Moscow fined video-sharing giant TikTok 3 million roubles (around $51,000), for what Moscow saw as a violation of the country’s so-called “gay propaganda” law — legislation that went into effect in 2013 and is described by Human Rights Watch as a “classic example of political homophobia” that “targets vulnerable sexual and gender minorities for political gain.”In July, the lower house of the Russian parliament introduced legislation designed to broaden the scope of the current law and also apply it to film, television and internet content.The fine was announced by a judge in Moscow’s Tagansky District, according to Russian news outlet Interfax.The case was based on accusations that the Chinese-owned company featured videos “featuring LGBT , feminism and distorted representation of traditional sexual values,” Interfax noted.(Shutterstock)Twitch, the Amazon-owned video game live-streaming service, received a penalty of 8 million rubles (around $135,000) for refusing to remove “false data about a special military operation in Ukraine,” according to the state-owned news agency Tass.The penalties were issued after the service streamed an interview with Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President…

A Russian court on Tuesday fined TikTok for failing to delete LGBT material, the country's latest crackdown on Big Tech companies.The Tagansky District Court in Moscow issued the 3 million rouble (€51,000) penalty to the short-video sharing platform following a complaint by Russian regulators.TikTok, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.According to the case file, state communications regulator Roskomnadzor complained about a video published on the platform earlier this year that breaches Russian laws against promoting "LGBT, radical feminism and a distorted view on traditional sexual relations”.The Russian government has been stepping up efforts to enforce greater control over the internet and social media, issuing penalties over content, demands over data storage and some outright bans. Earlier this year, a court fined chat service WhatsApp and disappearing message platform Snapchat for failing to store Russian users’ data on local servers, following complaints by Roskomnadzor.Music streaming service Spotify and Match Group, which owns dating app Tinder, also have been hit by Russian fines.Twitch also fined over Ukraine contentOn Tuesday, Russia also fined streaming service Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, for hosting a video interview with a Ukrainian political figure that Moscow said contained…

Successful Minecraft content creator Dream finally reveals his face on camera, and the event attracts an incredibly large audience. The popular YouTube content creator Dream has finally revealed his face, drawing an audience of over 1.5 million viewers to the video’s premiere on October 2. Dream has been a presence on the social media platform since 2014, primarily due to his Minecraft videos and streams. In that time, he has grown a community of over 30 million subscribers. Yet somehow the YouTuber has managed to never show his face, keeping it hidden behind a smiley face mask every time he appeared on camera, though Dream did once reveal his hair on camera. Not many content creators on Twitch or YouTube choose to keep their face hidden from their audience. While some may start out off camera, most usually show what they look like sooner rather than later, because it can be difficult to thwart the attempts of fans to uncover their favorite content creator’s face. Sometimes the mystery about what a person looks like adds to their hype, and some creators like Corpse Husband fear that a face reveal could ultimately be disappointing for fans. At the end of September,…

In our column, Niche Drama, we discuss online community micro dramas.A conspiracy theory about a player using vibrating anal beads to cheat has rocked the world of professional chess players for weeks — but the serious allegations are just as eyebrow-raising.In a shock upset, 19-year-old Hans Niemann from the US defeated 31-year-old world champion Magnus Carlsen from Norway on Sept. 4 in the Sinquefield Cup, a $350,000 tournament in St. Louis. Carlsen withdrew from the tournament the following day — the first time he has ever dropped out of a competition — and tweeted a video of Portuguese soccer manager José Mourinho saying, “If I speak, I am in big trouble.” But Carlsen wasn’t convinced.“His over-the-board progress has been unusual,” he wrote in his statement. “And throughout our game in the Sinquefield Cup I had the impression that he wasn’t tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions, while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do.”Carlsen called cheating an “existential threat” to chess and said he would…

Christian Koloko took advantage of a breakout junior season to jump into the NBA Draft last June, and Henri Veesaar can’t blame him."It’s a great opportunity for him to go to the league for sure," Veesaar said.It’s also a great opportunity for Veesaar to make a significant impact for the Wildcats as a freshman this season. The 7-foot Estonian, demonstrating unusual mobility and ballhandling skills for his size, and junior center Oumar Ballo, picking up where he left off after a strong finish last season, scored 16 points apiece to lead the Blue team to a 49-45 win over the Red in Friday’s Red-Blue Game scrimmage at McKale Center.Combined with 10 points and seven rebounds from in-state 7-foot freshman Dylan Anderson — plus seven points and a perfect dunk contest perfect score from all-leaguer Azuolas Tubelis — the Wildcats demonstrated a notable strength and versatility up front.Even without Koloko."Me, ’Zu, Oumar and Dylan, everybody has their own way, so there’s a lot of versatility in our big guys," Veesaar said. "We can stretch the floor and we can play quick. We just got to pick it up and be better with the ball, make less turnovers." Arizona forward Azuolas Tubelis posted…
