Video Games Are Changing, And Meccha Chameleon’s Absurd Popularity Is Proof

Meccha Chameleon, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game launched on Steam, has sold seven million copies shortly after its release, achieving this milestone just two days after announcing five million sales. In comparison, Resident Evil Requiem took two months to reach the same figure. The game allows players to disguise themselves as objects in their environment, fostering quick thinking and creativity. It is priced at .99 and does not include microtransactions, offering a full experience reminiscent of earlier gaming eras. The success of Meccha Chameleon highlights a trend towards smaller, accessible games in a market increasingly dominated by larger titles.

An obscure new game-breaking Destiny bug lets you one-hit bosses, and I don’t think Bungie’s gonna let this one slide

Bungie has allowed a notable bug to persist in Destiny 2, encouraging players to engage with it until it is addressed next week. Following the conclusion of the game's live service, Bungie introduced new features, including catalysts for every Exotic weapon and various broken perk combinations. This has led to a return to the chaotic 'Craftening' era, where players can transfer perks between weapons. Current bugs allow players to equip multiple instances of the same artifact perk and create powerful builds, enabling them to tackle raids and dungeons more easily, including soloing difficult encounters.

Destiny 2's final update for the Monuments of Triumph introduces new challenges, including one called GOOOAAAALLL!!!, where players must kick a ball into a hidden net.

The steps to score include pushing the ball towards the red staircase, ascending the first set of red stairs, proceeding up the white stairs into the Future War Cult room, and finally pushing the ball through the green light barrier at the entrance.

Destiny 2 goes out as God intended: Amidst absurd streamer drama featuring four content creators, an esports org, a boutique PC maker, an ex-NFL star, and $180,000

In 2025, streamer Strauss won a fraud claim against former NFL player Kenny Vaccaro, who was found liable for approximately ,000 plus interest. However, collecting this amount proved difficult, and Strauss reported spending an additional ,000 in legal fees without any return. Vaccaro's legal team contested the summary judgment due to a procedural error. In June, streamer Jake Lucky retweeted Strauss's plea for help, leading Mitch Jones to provide 0,000 to cover Strauss's initial loan and legal fees. Strauss clarified that the funds would reimburse him and that he was still seeking a contingency lawyer to pursue the case, with any future recovery intended to be returned to Jones.
