    We need to talk about your flair.

    On Threads, that is; Meta is testing “flair” labels for users in Communities that will show up on your posts to indicate what you like to talk about. Users who are “Community champions” can decide the flair options, Meta says.

    Amazon offloads a MOBA to Ubisoft as part of its gaming pivot.

    Ubisoft has acquired March of Giants, a free-to-play MOBA that was previously developed by Amazon’s Montreal studio. Amazon’s VP of games positively mentioned March of Giants in an October memo announcing the company’s pivot away from MMOs, but Amazon is moving on from the game anyway.

    The best part of The Game Awards? The orchestra.

    Gaming’s biggest awards show might be losing its luster, but last night’s annual Game of the Year medley was as good as ever. The transition from Hades II to Pauline’s song from Donkey Kong Bananza? Chills. And of course, there was a lot of Flute Guy, who even brought a custom PVC pipe flute.
