"We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. " -
With all the recent Xbox layoffs and studio shakeups, I can't help but wonder if this expansion is under more pressure than usual. TDA reviewed well, but there seems to be a perception that it underperformed commercially compared to 2016 & Eternal. I'm not sure how true this is.
Do you think the DLC is effectively an audition for the future of modern DOOM?
If player interest is lukewarm again, could id Software decide it's time for another major reinvention or even a change in leadership and philosophy for the next game?
I'm not saying the franchise is in trouble as DOOM is one of gaming's biggest names but I do wonder whether this DLC will influence what comes next more than any previous expansion has.
Curious what everyone thinks. Is Revelations just more DOOM, or could it end up being a turning point for the franchise?
*I've posted this on the DrivingUK subreddit because I'm hoping to hear from fellow UK drivers who've been in a similar position and can share advice based on their own experience.*
I will be hiring a car in Los Angeles for a week. I've driven for years in the UK, but I've never driven outside the UK before, so I'll admit I'm feeling a bit nervous.
I've watched plenty of YouTube videos about driving in the US, but I'd really like to hear from fellow UK drivers who've actually done it.
How big was the adjustment? Were there any habits that were particularly difficult to break? Things like turning right on red, four-way stops, wider roads, undertaking, lane discipline, and generally driving on the opposite side of the road all seem like they'll take a bit of getting used to.
I'll be picking the car up in Anaheim, driving to Santa Barbara, then down to Santa Monica before returning to Los Angeles, so I'll be doing a mix of city driving, motorways and coastal roads.
Was it as intimidating as you expected, or did you settle into it quite quickly? Any tips or things you wish you'd known beforehand would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Click see spoiler. Proof from way back machine pulls of the new posts on wow subreddit that day. This is proof it was the same photo, another person posted a thread yesterday and decided to poke around to see if I could verify.
For anyone catching up: It’s the same date another user first claimed to have seen the same photo. It’s also significant because this was posted 10 months before super recent data mining confirmed the “Camelot” project name as something new with classic wow (potentially classic plus). Basically adds a lot of credibility to this photo being a genuine leak
Another big edit: if you use some other ways to look up this users deleted posts and comments you can see he was leaking in the leaksandrumors subreddit march 2025 what blizzcon 2026 would be. (Images deleted but im guessing was this image). Was clearly a throwaway account (lol). He also commented on some posts before the midnight announcement leaking what it would be and gave insight on the final expansion. https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1mswmbp/comment/n98sdbz/
I gave it a watch. It's a pretty weird film. Feels like a dream you have when you're not well and loaded up on cold and flu tablets.
The co-founder 3D Realms, George Broussard, is reporting that Microsoft has started swinging the axe at Zenimax, the umbrella company that includes Bethesda (Fallout), ID (Doom), Arkane (Dishonored), Machine Games (Wolfenstein) and Zenimax Online (Elder Scrolls Online).
He replied to a tweet that suggested “Anyone not working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls is out” with “Oh is that public now? That’s exactly what I heard a few days ago.”
I'm tired, boss
In a lot of cities with airport rail links, the train doesn’t actually go directly to the terminal, a shuttle bus usually connects the station to the airport in 5 minutes or less. Frankfurt is a good example.
So with a train station already sitting so close to Glasgow Airport, why isn’t this used more as an airport rail link? It’s basically right there... just a short hop to the terminal. Surely we could have a free shuttle bus every 10 mins
