World of Warcraft dev says the game’s 500-strong union, spurred on by 2021 controversies, has been aided by the move to Microsoft-
In case you missed the news, World of Warcraft’s development team—which is approximately 500 members strong—formed a union late last month, attached to the Communication Workers of America (CWA).
It all comes as somewhat of a milestone ending to a vicious 3-year saga, starting with harrowing reports of harassment, sexual misconduct, and abuse at Activision-Blizzard that led to several employees simply leaving in 2021.
In 2022, Activision-Blizzard settled an $18 million sexual harassment lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A year later, it settled a seperate California civil rights suit for $54 million, with an extra $47 million being funnelled to help employees, though the settlement concluded “no widespread harassment or recurring pattern or practice of gender harassment”.
Before the settlement, former CEO Bobby Kotick characterised employee’s complaints as “a very aggressive labour movement working hard to try and destabilise the…
You can get every Dragon Age game yet made for just $10 in EA’s August Steam sale-
Electronic Arts is having a sale on Steam right now that has some really deep discounts on games you might well be interested in playing. Foremost of those are the Dragon Age games, which are all on sale for 90% off—a total of $10 for Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, and Dragon Age Inquisition. Why might you want to play those? Probably because you’re interested in the trickle of details coming about Dragon Age: The Veilguard ahead of its launch this fall.
If that’s not enough of some of the most popular RPGs ever made to keep you occupied, you can certainly find more: 2021’s Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is on sale too. That’s the entire trilogy of Mass Effect games and a big ol pile of DLC in one package, with one launcher, for $9. If you buy that, and Dragon Age, you probably won’t be done playing Bioware RPGs until Dragon Age: The Veilguard is old enough to go on sale.
If your tastes run more towards modern action RPGs, however, you can get Sta…
Rupee rises 5 paise to close at 83.32 against US dollar
The rupee appreciated 5 paise to close at 83.32 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, helped by a bullish trend in domestic equities and sustained foreign fund inflows. Forex traders said elevated American currency in the overseas markets and dollar buying by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) capped sharp gains for the local unit. The rupee consolidated in a narrow range as investors remained on the sidelines ahead of the RBI’s monetary policy decision later this week. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 83.35 against the greenback.

HDFC Securities sees Nifty downtrend continuing; Alkem Labs and Asian Paints among top picks
BY Subash Gangadharan
On the daily chart, we can observe that with the sharp fall seen last week accompanied with falling momentum readings like the 14-day RSI, the short term trend still remains down.
While the Nifty has bounced back and witnessed a pullback rally this week, the index is again showing weakness. There is a good chance that the current downtrend could continue once the immediate support of 18,973 is broken.
Rupee to trade between 83.60 – 84.10 in the near-term says CareEdge Ratings Momentum nowhere to be seen in Nifty this week, says Anand James of Geojit Financial Services Gold may see some profit taking but trend remains bullish says TradeBulls Securities Nifty to reclaim 25,000 next week, says Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities
In this scenario, Nifty could correct towards the recent intermediate lows of 18,837. Immediate resistances are now at 19,096-19,159.
