The article discusses the recent surge in Ethereum's price, up 40% in two weeks, and the trend of treasury companies investing in Ethereum and Bitcoin. The trend is driven by the expectation of increased adoption of cryptocurrencies, particularly after President Trump signed the GENIUS stablecoin Act into law. However, some experts, such as Dragonfly general partner Rob Hadick, warn that the trend may be showing signs of "froth" and greed, with some companies charging high fees for their services. The article highlights the strategies of companies like Sharplink Gaming and Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which are buying up Ethereum to front-run traditional financial institutions. While the trend may be beneficial in the short term, some experts caution that it may not be sustainable in the long term if prices turn lower.

League of Legends pro player Faker is proving that age is not a detriment to competitive gaming. Despite approaching 30, he continues to dominate the game, contradicting the common belief that players decline after age 25 due to decreased reflexes. A Reddit post highlights Faker's quote from 3 years ago, where he stated that age has less impact on performance than people think. The post suggests that League of Legends is evolving into a game where strategy and skill outweigh reflexes, making it more like chess. Other older pro players are also cited as examples, and experts argue that time commitment and work ethic are more important than age. Faker's success is seen as living proof that older players can still compete at a high level, challenging the notion that 30 is too old for professional gaming.

Moon Studios' CEO Thomas Mahler has clarified that their upcoming game "No Rest for the Wicked" may not launch on Xbox at the same time as other platforms. The game is currently in Steam's Early Access program and has a planned release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Mahler stated that the studio will "ultimately" release the game on all platforms, but the focus is currently on PS5 due to its larger console audience. The decision may be due to cost reasons, as the studio is independent and may not have a funding deal with Microsoft. Xbox fans may still see the game released on the platform, but it may not be at the same time as other consoles.

A handful of companies, including Coinbase Global and BitMine Immersion Technologies, are buying Ethereum (ETH-USD) as a way to gain exposure to the tech infrastructure behind decentralized finance and digital assets. Ethereum has surged 60% over the past month, and its utility is seen as a key factor in its adoption, with the ability to create tokens and communities. Companies like BitMine and SharpLink Gaming are raising capital to buy ETH, similar to how others have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets. However, the approach can be risky due to volatile prices, and not all companies see the same value in Ethereum as they do in Bitcoin. Experts view this movement as an adjacent strategy, with companies capitalizing on real-world asset trends, rather than Ethereum replacing Bitcoin as the investment of choice.

Steam has removed hundreds of sex games featuring explicit content, including those with themes of sexual abuse, after implementing stricter moderation rules. The move is attributed to pressure from online payment processors, which has sparked a censorship debate. An anti-porn group, Collective Shout, has taken credit for the change, accusing critics of being "sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists." The group had previously targeted payment companies, including Visa, PayPal, and Mastercard, for allegedly profiting from violent pornography on Steam. The purge has raised concerns about censorship and the potential for nuanced moderation, with some developers worrying that it may lead to a crackdown on controversial content. Valve has stated that it was notified by payment processors that certain games may violate their rules and standards, leading to the removal of the games from the Steam Store. However, the company's guidelines and moderation process remain unclear, sparking confusion and debate among gamers and developers.
