Diablo 4 is on pause until the Season 10 PTR, but ARPG rivals are surging. In this week’s roundup I cover D4 Goblin March tips for a resplendent spark farm ), the Diablo Immortal x Hearthstone crossover (through Aug 27), and Blizzard’s road back to China with NetEase. Then we dig into how payment processors censor games—Visa, Mastercard, PayPal—prompting itch.io’s adult games policy shift and GOG’s Freedom to Buy response. Plus: Path of Exile 2's upcoming update (Aug 29), Last Epoch S3: Beneath Ancient Skies, Sony vs Tencent over a Horizon look-alike (Light of Motiram lawsuit), WB Montréal hiring for a live-service AAA, Darksiders 4 revealed, and Titan Quest 2 in early access.
