If you tried to access the Madden NFL 23 Franchise server for an approximately 22-hour period between December 28th and December 29th, your save might have been corrupted, according to a post on EA’s support site. And what’s worse, EA says that it is “currently projecting around 40% of leagues to be recovered,” meaning that more than half of the people affected are seemingly out of luck just for logging in while there was a problem.

Wizards of the Coast is known for tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, but it’s pulling back on some of its video game efforts, according to Bloomberg.

I know, total shocker, especially after The Game Awards. Users also voted for Elden Ring to win “Best Game You Suck At,” which I’d agree with; I only beat it by farming runes.

The company doesn’t anticipate a “noticeable impact” to battery life, spokesperson David Gordon told The Verge after we first published our story, because “the additional power draw will be small and only limited to cases where the additional GPU compute is actively needed.” Happy to hear that!
