Some Doom players weren’t particularly happy when Bethesda re-released the first three Doom games. That’s because the re-released version required users to have a BethesdaNet account, which meant you needed to be online. And this frustrated players who have been playing these games before home internet access really took off. The developer assures its players that it’s listening, though. Bethesda is now working on making accounts optional for players. The company reasoned that the requirement to reward the members of Bethesda’s Doom Slayers Club for playing the original titles.

Huawei tweaks yet-to-be-launched foldable Mate X device

Huawei has delayed the release of the Mate X, and it looks like the company is busy tweaking the foldable device ahead of its launch. Chinese journalist Li Wei ran into Huawei CEO Richard Yu at an airport with the CEO was using the Mate X at the time. This provided us with photos of the device.

It now has a carbon fiber look seen around the camera sensors and the hinge. It isn’t clear if it’s actual carbon fiber, but given the premium price point of this device, that is a possibility. There’s also a fourth camera sensor at the back, which the company’s website has previously confirmed to be a Time-of-Flight depth sensor. The button that Huawei uses to unfold the Mate X is now bigger as well with a red accent at the center. What we can’t say yet is if they did any improvements to the OLED display, and whether they’ve been able to deal with the “crease” at the center of the display. But we should find out more details soon as the company is set to launch the foldable device sometime in September.
