Microsoft and Bethesda Make Big Moves
Microsoft may be known as a business software giant, powering most of the world's PCs and building backroom technology and tools. But it's also spent more than $10 billion buying development studios behind some of the most popular video games in the world. To Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, it's all about the future of software.

Though not known as a gamer himself, Nadella's made big bets on the video game industry, buying Minecraft maker Mojang for $2.5 billion shortly after he was named CEO in 2014. Then he bought five more studios in 2018, including role-playing game maker Obsidian, known for the space adventure The Outer Worlds and the well-received South Park: The Stick of Truth. In 2019, it bought Double Fine, maker of adventure game Psychonauts.

A World of Warcraft bug is reverting some players' characters to how they were a decade ago
Many World of Warcraft players on the Khadgar server are experiencing an odd and terrifying glitch that is de-leveling their characters from 120 to around level 85--the level cap back when Cataclysm was released in 2010. Some are even finding clones of their characters sporting the exact armor and weapons they wore during that era, while others are logging in to find characters are missing entirely. Fortunately, Blizzard is investigating the cause and has already confirmed that no characters have been permanently deleted.

Reports of these issues first started popping up on the WoW forums and subreddit late yesterday. In a video posted today, YouTuber MadSeasonShow said that nearly every one of his dozen characters had been altered or were missing. What's weird, MadSeasonShow explains, is that he now has a new level 81 Death Knight character called 'Bagina' which is actually just an older version of his level 110 Death Knight called BadSeason that he renamed years ago. A warlock he had deleted around that same time is also back in his account as if nothing ever happened.
