Former Gears of War boss becomes former Diablo boss as Rod Fergusson leaves Microsoft a third time, "sword in hand," after 5 years overseeing the ARPG series: "I'm proud of what we've built"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In an ironic twist of gaming history, Rod Fergusson is leaving a position at Microsoft for the third time in his decades-long industry career. He announced via social media today that he's leaving Blizzard after five years of overseeing the Diablo franchise to move onto as-yet-undetailed new pastures. "After five years driving the Diablo franchise with four big launches, it's time to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what's next," Fergusson says on Bluesky. "I'm proud of what we've built and excited for what's ahead for Diablo, and for me." Those "four big launches" are, presumably, referring to Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4, and its expansion Vessel of Hatred. Those titles represent quite a rollercoaster for the community's response to the series over the years, but the highs represent a pretty thorough cementing of Diablo as a major franchise after years of dormancy. Fergusson started his career at Microsoft in 1996, long before "Xbox" was even a twinkle in anybody's eye, but he eventually worked to support games ranging from Microsoft Train Simulator on PC to Xbox launch title Blood Wake. After working with Epic to develop Gears of War, he eventually jumped ship to the latter studio in order to get the third-person shooter ready for launch on Xbox 360. He then spent seven years at Epic and two years at BioShock developer Irrational Games, but eventually came back to Microsoft in 2014 to lead the Gears of War franchise at the studio that would become known as The Coalition. After the launches of Gears of War 4 and Gears 5, Fergusson then moved on to lead the Diablo franchise at Blizzard – which, through a multi-billion dollar twist of history, would eventually see him rejoining Microsoft once again. "You brought strength, hellfire, and vision to one of gaming's most iconic franchises," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in response to Fergusson's departure. "Playing Diablo IV with you was a blast – thanks for everything you gave to the game and the community." As for the Diablo series itself, apparently we'll see Fergusson's fingerprints for some time to come. The official Diablo account says Fergusson has "set Diablo up for an amazing year forward." Meanwhile, the Microsoft bloodbath continues 9,000 layoffs later with the death of Contraband, the '70s co-op game from the studio behind open-world hit Just Cause, and it seems Hideo Kojima's OD is the only thing that's safe.

YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround
A lot of people are spending today (August 10) claiming that YouTube is down — at least that's what you'd think when looking at Down Detector. But what's actually happened is that YouTube seems to have quietly bricked its website for anyone using the Adblock Plus Chrome extension (ABP). Honestly? I was just as baffled as you may have been when I logged on to YouTube. I cleared the cache and still nothing — even though the service was working on an incognito tab. So I went to my usual process of disabling extensions, to see if any were messing up the site loading, and when I disabled Adblock Plus, everything was rosy. I took to Reddit to make sure I wasn't losing my marbles, and sure enough, it seems like it could very well be a shadow update to the way YouTube interacts with Adblock Plus. And in my investigation, I have found a workaround. There hasn't been a clear answer from YouTube as to how it identifies ad blockers. I've reached out to the company for comment, but it's doubtful anyone will actually say how the sauce is made. But we can make some logical assumptions based on what's happened before both on YouTube and other websites. YouTube will know exactly what ad scripts should be requested when you load a page. Ad blockers usually work by never requesting those ad URLs. It's a dead giveaway that an ad blocker is intercepting it, which can be identified in milliseconds. YouTube could also be injecting invisible 'fake ads' into the code that loads when you access the website — just to see if it will run into any problems serving you ads. If said bait (using common ad names like .ad-container) disappears, then it knows you're blocking. No, websites can't directly read what extensions you have installed, but they can try loading extension IDs as part of the site load to see if you have it. Every Chrome extension has a public ID, so if YouTube attempts to fetch its public ID and succeeds, then it'll know you have ABP. For this, you've got two options. First of all, YouTube Premium is the safest and easiest way to skirt ads, and it's clear that the company is making the case for this in its most aggressive way yet. But regardless of the nasty surprise Adblock Plus users are waking up to, there are definitely benefits to getting this $13.99/month YouTube Premium subscription. First and foremost, there are no ads, which means no more playing cat-and-mouse with YouTube's constant whack-a-mole tactics. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Second, your favorite creators aren't earning anything from YouTube when you use an ad blocker, as they're paid from ad impressions. And finally, there are some legitimately good features like downloading videos to watch offline, playing in the background on mobile, and access to YouTube Premium Music (no need for Spotify). That said though, there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin. Yes, I know that Google has blocked it from its Chrome Extension store, but there is still a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome that our how-to extraordinaire Kaycee has detailed.

Did Taylor Swift fans just match the silhouette for New Heights' guest?
In the few years since brothers Travis and Jason Kelce launched their New Heights podcast, it had been common to see a special guest teaser posted a couple days before the show. But on Monday, there was a noticeably different aura to the secret guest. You best believe that Swifties were on the case. From the moment New Heights' graphic was posted at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, Taylor Swift fans were convinced that the long-awaited appearance on the podcast was finally happening. That speculation only grew when Taylor Nation tweeted 12 minutes later and used an orange color that matched New Heights' post. Jason was also wearing a Taylor Swift shirt from the Eras Tour. But really, the focus remained on that mystery silhouette. Swifties didn't need much time to possibly figure it out either. The silhouette closely matched the photo from Swift's Variety interview in the "Directors on Directors" series. Like, that's almost an exact match. Swifties have been known to analyze and deconstruct every Easter egg — and often they're wrong. But they may be on to something this time.
