Blizzard is winding down support for its Warcraft mobile game
In an announcement, Blizzard wrote that while the game will not be abandoned entirely, the company will cease development on any new content. 'Moving forward, we'll continue supporting Rumble with updates focused on regular, systemic in-game events and bug fixes, but no new content. '
Blizzard continued, saying Rumble, 'struggled to find its footing relative to our ambition for its long-term success.' And while its developers worked to respond to player feedback that, 'ultimately wasn't enough to put the game on a path to sustainability.'
Warcraft Rumble was the first mobile focused game in the Warcraft Universe. It launched in 2023 after nine years in development and was originally one of two mobile games Blizzard was working on, the other being Blizzard's take on Pokémon Go. That game was never officially announced by Blizzard and cancelled sometime in 2022. Warcraft Rumble joins a handful of other Blizzard games in development stasis along with Starcraft II and Heroes of the Storm.
Earlier today, Xbox also announced that it was cancelling the Rare-developed Everwild, as well as the Perfect Dark remake, while shuttering The Initiative, the studio making it.

AI is making everyone on dating apps sound charming. What could go wrong?
Richard Wilson felt like he had struck gold: The 31-year-old met someone on a dating app who wanted to exchange more than the cursory 'what's up.' He would send long, multi-paragraph messages, and she would acknowledge each of his points, weaving in details he had mentioned before. Their winding discussions fanned the romantic spark, he said, but when they recently met in person, his date had none of the conversational pizzazz she had shown over text. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Wilson's confusion turned to suspicion when his date mentioned she used ChatGPT 'all the time' at work. Rather than stumbling through those awkward early conversations, had she called in an AI ringer? Dating app companies such as Match Group - which owns Hinge, Tinder and a slew of other dating apps - say AI can help people who are too busy, shy or abrasive to win dates. But a growing number of singles like Wilson are finding that the influx of AI makes dating more complicated, raising questions about etiquette and ethics in a dating landscape that can already feel alienating. With AI helping everyone sound more charming - and editing out red-flag comments before they are uttered - it's harder to suss out whether a potential partner is appealing and safe, said Erika Ettin, a dating coach who has worked with thousands of clients. 'Normally, you can see in the chat what kind of language they're using. You can see if they jump to sexual stuff quickly and how they navigate conversations with strangers in the world,' Ettin said. 'When some bot is chatting for them, you can't collect those data points on that person anymore.' With nearly a third of U.S. adults saying they have used dating apps and the majority of relationships now beginning online, dating companies are keen to find how cutting-edge AI can bolster their business model. Hinge has added AI tools that read users' profiles and skim through their photos, suggesting changes and additions that theoretically boost their chances at a match. Tinder uses AI to read your messages, nudging you if it thinks you have sent or received something distasteful. And apps such as Rizz and Wing AI help users decide what to say to a potential date. Amanda Gesselman, a psychologist at the Kinsey Institute, said her research with Match Group suggests that a significant chunk of singles use AI to 'enhance their dating lives.' Gesselman said the tech could help people who struggle to navigate the tricky process of swiping, matching, chatting and setting up dates. But she acknowledged the features come with ethical complications, and she struggled to articulate when using AI is acceptable and when it's deceitful. 'People will use AI to alter their photos in ways that aren't necessarily achievable for them, whereas when you use it for messages, you're using it in a way that is amplifying yourself and your ability to have conversations,' Gesselman said. Dating app design already encourages behaviors that make courtship feel impersonal, some users say. Certain eager singles swipe right on every profile, maximizing their chances of getting a match. Others ghost, cutting off communication after a bad date rather than officially breaking things off. And many try to manipulate dating app algorithms, saying 'no' to partners they are attracted to in an attempt to signal to the algorithm that they are choosy and desirable. Eve Tilley-Coulson, a lawyer in Los Angeles, runs a side business in which she logs in to Hinge users' accounts and swipes on their behalf, playing the algorithm to their advantage. For users already frustrated by dating apps, conversational AI features are unlikely to sit well, Tilley said. When Hinge's AI prompts her customers to write more detailed answers in their profiles, for example, some worry that the app is collecting extra data for nefarious purposes, she said. Match didn't comment about data collection. In Tilley's view, AI features will, at worst, be weaponized against users to keep them swiping and paying. At best, they will nudge users toward more uniform answers and conversations, since generative AI tends to reference ideas and conversations it has seen before. Match Group spokeswoman Vidhya Murugesan said the company's algorithms are designed to funnel users toward in-person connections and get them off the apps. 'As we integrate AI into our products, we're prioritizing authenticity, transparency, and safety, ensuring these tools enhance the user experience and help foster more of these connections,' she said. If AI suggestions have a cooling effect on some dating app conversations, that's not always a bad thing, according to Yoel Roth, Match Group's head of trust and safety. Match uses AI to read users' messages and prompt them if they're about to send something potentially offensive, abusive or weird. Senders are asked, 'Are you sure?' and given an opportunity to rephrase their message. About 20 percent of people who get this prompt choose not to send the original chat, Roth said onstage at an AI conference in June. Recipients might also get a 'Does this bother you?' prompt if Match's AI perceives a message to be potentially harmful, Roth said. 'A lot of what we're thinking about as we're building apps that help people connect is: How can we use AI to improve that experience, both to make it safer and more authentic and but then also to maybe round out some of the rough edges that make it more challenging for people to meet each other and express themselves?' Roth said. Those 'rough edges' can hobble some daters who don't have a way with words, said Roman Khaves, co-founder of the app Rizz, which bills itself as an AI-powered dating coach. Users can upload screenshots of their dating app conversations into Rizz and ask for tips on what to say next. 'AI is helping people be a little more confident in themselves and giving them that charisma,' he said. 'There's a lot of great guys out there that are not great texters, and Rizz is helping all those great guys get seen.' Social norms around when and how it's appropriate to use AI are developing slower than the technology itself. In the workplace, where the goal is to efficiently get things done, outsourcing to AI is less ethically complex than on dating apps, where the goal is to reveal your true self, said Giada Pistilli, principal ethicist at AI company Hugging Face. The more we rely on AI to facilitate our emotional connections, the less we're able to express ourselves genuinely, she said. 'While we lack formal regulations, we do have strong moral intuitions about authenticity in intimate relationships,' Pistilli said. 'Consider how a love letter loses practically all its emotional impact once we learn it was entirely AI-generated rather than coming from the heart.' People also want to know that when they open up to someone new, the other person is also showing their true self, said Kathryn Coduto, a professor of media science at Boston University who studies dating apps. 'If you put yourself out there but the other person is so disconnected that they're layering AI in, it feels like a mismatch.' After meeting the woman he suspected of using ChatGPT to message him, Wilson set up a second date. Maybe with more time, he figured, he would get a glimpse of her true personality. But he didn't like what he saw. Though he never learned for sure whether she had relied on a chatbot, the bad date made Wilson feel resentful of AI and exhausted with dating apps, he said. If this woman had been forced to write messages herself - without help from ChatGPT or Hinge alerts stopping her from sending potentially weird messages - maybe he could have determined earlier that they weren't a good pair. They had exchanged messages for weeks, Wilson said. But who had he really been talking to? 'It's almost like we never even spoke.'

2 Stocks to Buy for the ‘Summer of $4 Trillion'
Wall Street's most expensive horse race is entering its final stretch. Nvidia (NVDA) trades at $3.74 trillion and Microsoft (MSFT) trades at $3.66 trillion. Wedbush's Dan Ives believes the duo will sprint past $4 trillion in market value before summer ends. Driving these mammoth market caps, Ives argues that every dollar spent on Nvidia's chips leads to $8 to $10 multiplication across the rest of the tech sector. Both companies are already posting blockbuster financials, and each has a near-monopolistic position in their respective AI niches. Thus, it's worth taking a deeper look at Nvidia and Microsoft here. Is UnitedHealth Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Michael Saylor Says 'You'll Wish You'd Bought More' Bitcoin as MicroStrategy Doubles Down Is Microsoft Stock About to Go Nuclear? Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Dan Ives is highly bullish on NVDA stock and calls Nvidia the 'foundation for the AI revolution,' adding that CEO Jensen Huang is the 'Godfather of AI.' His rationale is that cloud service providers will increasingly acquire more AI-capable chips to build out their services. Nvidia is often the first, and sometimes the only, supplier these companies purchase from. It has been able to position itself as a premier supplier of both AI hardware and the required software for data centers. Ives believes the use cases of AI are 'exploding' across many verticals. There is good substance to Ives' claim that NVDA stock may indeed break through $4 trillion this summer. The stock broke through the $150 resistance level on June 25 and hit a new all-time high above $158 on June 27. It has been building on that momentum since. With $150 no longer a ceiling, its next resistance levels are in the low-$160 range, and some analysts have targets as high as $250 on shares. There have been no indications that Nvidia's domestic customers are slowing down orders, and Blackwell remains fully booked for the year. The average analyst is also optimistic on NVDA, with a price target of $176.62. This implies 14% upside, or a market capitalization of roughly $4.3 trillion. Although Microsoft has temporarily lost its spot as the No. 1 most valuable company in the world, it may soon be able to close that gap as its AI momentum has been accelerating, and so has the stock. MSFT stock currently trades near $491. It is likely to meet some resistance near $500, but breaking through that level could unlock enough upside to get past Nvidia again. It is spending $80 billion on AI-related capital expenses in 2025 to add to its momentum. Dan Ives has set a price target of $600 on MSFT, up from $515 previously. On CNBC, he was asked, '$600 doesn't feel too lofty?... How much has to go right for that to happen?' Ives replied and said, 'I think $600 is probably conservative, I'm thinking about the next 18 months.' He believes we are going into the software phase of AI and that CEO Satya Nadella is 'playing chess' while the rest are playing checkers. Most analysts are still in the 'conservative' camp, but price targets go up to $626. The highest price target here implies around 27% upside, and a market cap of $4.65 trillion.
