Bribing medics to revive me first in Wardogs is one of my favorite shooter mechanics in ages

So you've just been shot in Battlefield and now you're lying in a mass of other players' bodies, all of you hammering the 'REVIVE MEEE' request button as medics buzz about, helping everyone but you. If only there was a way to show them how important you are, that your life is clearly worth more than Skidz69 over there. How about money? truewildgame.com

Wardogs is a Battlefield-style shooter where you can pay for just about anything, from a fancy loadout, to a literal taxi ride to the conflict zone. Earning cash for doing what you want is a really smart way of incentivising the whole battlefield role fantasy, whether you're building fortifications and sure-ing up your faction's forward operating base, or dragging downed players out of the fire and rezzing them.

Though factions can win and lose, Wardog's only true language of success is profitability, more cash to buy fancier hardware, which you use to earn more cash. It's a wonderfully fitting and nihilistic approach to all-out warfare—each life is an investment in what you're going to do that run. Whether it pays off is where the true play comes in.

And since cash is king, you can use it to grease the wheels a little when you've been downed. Simply offer a bribe by tapping F1 when you're corpsified and you'll place a number over your head, showing how much extra money the medic will get if they prioritise rezzing you over your comrades.

Personally, I love immediately maxing out the cash reward for my revive and watching as multiple medics come running, braving enemy fire, and even battling each other to get that $500. I had one medic literally drag me away from another who was about to rez me, like a seagull snatching a half-eaten sandwich.

It reminds me of Trauma Team in Cyberpunk 2077, like there's something hilariously bleak about getting injured in battle and holding up a gold card which gives you precedence for medical care. Either that or getting in a bidding war with another downed comrade as you both vie for a medic's attention.

Being a medic in Wardogs is pretty profitable, though, especially if you offer a post-revive heal for a tip, and you're good at scrounging up extra medical supplies from corpses and backpacks. The icing on the cake for me is that the revival animation is rubbing your hands together, surely in anticipation for the big bucks you're set to earn from each new casualty.

Though Wardogs' launch yesterday was a bit shaky server-wise with 300k players hopping in (despite this being an early access), it's easy to see why so many people are really gelling with the game, including me. Its whole economy system is such a smart way of encouraging the battlefield role fantasy that's so appealing in all-out warfare games.

It may be early days, but it's not hard to imagine how Bulkhead will be able to scale this concept during the game's time in early access.

Suprising no one, new report says years-long breaks between TV seasons leads to big viewership drops

In the prestige TV streaming era, it's not uncommon for new seasons of the biggest shows to take upwards of two years to hit screens. And a new report has confirmed what we all knew deep down: lengthy delays between new TV seasons leads to massive drops in viewership.

The report comes from data analytics company Luminate (h/t DiscussingFilm), who crunched the numbers on several of the biggest streaming releases, including Stranger Things season 5 and Wednesday season 2. The report concludes that "long breaks between seasons usually leads to audience shrinkage for hit series." A long hiatus is defined by Luminate as anything over 18 months between seasons.

Among the hardest hit shows, according to Luminate, were The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, which saw a 57% dip in viewership when it landed two years after its debut season; Wednesday season 2, which saw a 59% drop upon releasing 2.75 years after the first season; and even Stranger Things season 5, which, despite being the final season, saw audience figures drop 23% when it finally arrived 3.5 years after season 4. In contrast, The Pitt season 2 saw viewership soar 132% when it released 12 months after its initial run, but that was a critically acclaimed breakout series.

The long breaks between seasons can sometimes be attributed to behind-the-scenes turmoil (which seems to have been the case with Severance season 2, though that turned out OK), but more often than not it's simply the reality of producing big-budget shows in the prestige TV era, with audiences now expecting movie-quality visuals that require movie-length production timelines. This is particularly acute for effects-heavy shows like The Rings of Power and Stranger Things.

The binge release model can also have a deleterious effect, as despite inflating first-week numbers, Luminate points out that "binge-release viewership tends to decay quickly, whereas a weekly-release hit can remain on the charts week after week." There is a silver lining in the long breaks between seasons for streamers, though. Luminate's numbers point to long delays "supercharging" catch-up viewing, as audiences capitalize on the extra time to watch (or re-watch) previous seasons, ahead of new episodes.

Following another 2-year break between seasons, The Rings of Power season 3 returns this November and is set to tackle one of Middle-earth's biggest moments: the forging of the One Ring. The Rings of Power season 4 is reportedly already in the works, perhaps in an effort to speed up production and reduce the the wait for new seasons.

Das schönste Gefühl: Musiala mit Startschuss Richtung Normalität

Eine kurze Drehung, ein knackiger Abschluss – und dann bereitmachen zum Torjubel: Mit seinem sehenswerten Führungstreffer kurz nach dem Seitenwechsel brachte Jamal Musiala den FC Bayern beim letztlich deutlichen 5:0-Erfolg gegen den FK Bodø/Glimt auf die Siegerstraße (48.) und sich selbst zurück in eine Gefühlslage, die der Münchner Wirbelwind in den schwierigen Wochen der jüngeren Vergangenheit so sehnsüchtig vermisst hatte.

In der Saisonvorbereitung war der 23-Jährige bei Testspielen gegen Leipzig und in Heidenheim zusammengebrochen. Kurz darauf klärte Musiala in einem Statement auf seinem Instagram-Account auf, woran diese Situationen liegen. Es seien bei ihm "temporär kurz auftretende, aber gut behandelbare Absencen" festgestellt worden, welche "auf eine neurologische Dysfunktion zurückzuführen" seien, so der deutsche Nationalspieler, der daraufhin erst einmal kürzertreten musste.
