Blizzard sues Chinese game developer for ripping off ‘Overwatch’

Protecting its intellectual property, Blizzard is suing Chinese developer 4399 for what looks like a blatant rip-off of its hit game Overwatch. 4399 named the game Heroes of Warfare and if you see the gameplay video above, it does look rather similar to the Blizzard game—from the playable characters to the maps, and even down to the heads-up display. As with other IP infringement lawsuits, Blizzard, together with its Chinese partner NetEase, is asking for 4399 to cease production of its game, monetary compensation for damages, and that the aforementioned game be taken down from the Android and iOS app stores.

Google slashes the price of its USB-C to 3.5mm dongle in half, now costs $10

The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are two flagships that have also gotten rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack. It now requires you to buy the headphone jack dongle if you want to listen to music on the device with wired earphones/headphones. And it wasn’t cheap when Google released it at $20. Thankfully, Google seems to have realized this was a tad too expensive and cut the price in half. It now costs $10, which is in the same price range as Apple’s replacement headphone jack dongle for the new iPhones.

There will be a Porsche Design version of the Huawei Mate 10

Aside from Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, it looks like we’re getting a pricier model, too. A new teaser from the Chinese company’s Facebook page shows the Huawei logo beside the Porsche Design logo. It comes with the text: “The most advanced technology meets the most expressive design on 16.10.2017. #Huaweimate10 #PorscheDesign.” We, of course, can expect a premium build and an infinitely higher price tag with this model. And if we base it off the Mate 9 Porsche Design, this model should be based off the Mate 10 Pro. We just have a few days before we discover what these new devices are made off.

The final trailer for Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things 2’ is here!

It seems appropriate for Netflix to drop the final trailer of the second season of Stranger Things on Friday the 13^th. (Before that they dropped a teaser for the trailer inspired by the classic 1980 slasher film.) And we get to see more of our favorite Hawkins gang and the bigger threat they’re facing. And boy, does it look menacing.

If you can’t watch the trailer immediately, here’s the synopsis for Stranger Things 2: “It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.”
