X has reportedly started trying to sell user handles.
Forbes obtained emails that indicate that X, formerly Twitter, has started to work on a marketplace to buy handles that are no longer in use. Also, “in at least some cases, X/Twitter has emailed solicitations to potential buyers requesting a flat fee of $50,000 to initiate a purchase,” Forbes reports.

Vampire Survivors’ new ‘adventures’ will make the game even more replayable.
Developer Poncle describes them as “miniature story modes that reset and remix the game’s content,” which sounds to me like they’ll offer some excellent reasons to jump back into one of my favorite games in recent memory.
The first adventures will arrive with Vampire Survivors’ 1.8 update, which will be released “in a few weeks,” according to the description of a video about the adventures.

We’ve reached out to a Bricklink customer support email to try and learn more.

The new Warcraft mobile game is available to download now.
Warcraft Rumble looks a lot like, well, a mobile game, but it seems to be fairly robust, with PvE and PvP modes. Blizzard announced at BlizzCon that the game is officially live, and you can get it on the App Store and on Google Play.
