A juicy theft of crypto-currencies
If you do not know the principle of Axie Infinity, it is a “play to earn” game, that is to say a game where you will buy creatures, raise them, make them fight to finally sell in the form of cryptocurrencies. Axie Infinity has been gaining a lot of popularity for some time now, which has obviously attracted quite a few hackers. Well, a hacker managed to bypass the security of the transaction platform in order to steal no less than 560 million euros. This is not the first time this has happened in the world of NFTs and cryptocurrency, and the creators of the game obviously intend to strengthen security.
Playstation Plus set to overshadow Game Pass
It was finally made official yesterday, after months of rumours, Sony confirmed the change of formula for its Playstation Plus subscription. With its three formulas, Sony’s service intends to give a hard time to Microsoft’s Game Pass, which has 60% of the subscription game market share, against 7% of the Playstation Now service. Even if the new “Netflix of video games” represents only 4% of industry revenues, we are entitled to ask ourselves the question of the advantages that Sony will offer us compared to its big competitor. Games available Day-One, third-party studios? The answers are still vague, but what is already certain is that the Playstation Plus will allow players to venture into the world of PSOne, PS2, PS3 and even PSP games.

Amouranth is not her first investment, the young streamer has already spent 10 million dollars in the 7 Eleven convenience store chain, and 4 million in a gas station. Considerable sums that will allow the streamer to realize her dream, to build the largest ranch in the world.
