Coinbase Joins Pokémon TCG Hype With Its Own Digital Pack-Opening Service

Image
Coinbase is joining the Pokémon TCG craze with its own digital pack-opening platform. Coinbase, a US-based cryptocurrency exchange platform, is moving in on the TCG market with a particular focus on Pokémon. At least, that’s what it seems like, based on a tweet it published on September 28. “Your binder is about to get a major upgrade,” the post reads. “Rip packs on your phone. Every pull backed by a real, physical card. Vault it or ship it. Soon on Coinbase.” Your binder is about to get a major upgrade. Rip packs on your phone. Every pull backed by a real, physical card. Vault it or ship it. Soon on Coinbase. pic.twitter.com/Utfwq30DSj — Coinbase 🛡️ (@coinbase) September 28, 2026 While the post’s text doesn’t mention Pokémon by name, the accompanying image attached to it shows mockups of five Pokémon TCG card packs that are labeled ‘Pokémon’ with the numbers 1-5. The platform also responded to a few comments that mentioned the popular monster-catching franchise; one user wrote...

New Game Ready to Add Meat and Blood to Steam’s Tidying-Up Craze

Image
Steam has seen an avalanche of cheap and cheerful tidying-up games lately, from libraries to magic shops to toy stores, but the genre is about to get weird. New game Something is Wrong With the Library is still about organizing books, but this time around, you're doing it while dealing with "psychic manifestations" made of flesh. Makes sense, considering the walls of the building are full of the corpses of homeless people. You can wishlist it now on Steam , ready for its release later this fall. Unlike most of the clearing clutter genre, Something is Wrong With the Library stands out because it appears to have a (deeply messed up) story to go with all the chores. You play as the library's former administrator, Phillip Shed, who has one night to organize the books and deal with the gory consequences of the bodies in the walls. According to the Steam listing, players can also expect to find something called The Drowning Room, which doesn't sound ominous at all. Meat...

'As Far as I'm Concerned, That's a Step in the Right Direction' — Path of Exile Dev Optimistic About Diablo 5

Image
While Diablo 5 was announced at Blizzcon 2026 just a couple weeks ago, the game doesn't come out until spring 2029. But it seems like Chris Wilson, former co-founder of Path of Exile developer Grinding Gear Games, is tentatively excited for Blizzard's next ARPG. Wilson, who left Grinding Gear Games in 2023, released a video over the weekend where he broke down everything Blizzard has announced about the upcoming Diablo game, from its story to itemization and monster levels. And while he did have some nitpicks, it seems like he's cautiously optimistic that the Diablo series is headed in the right direction, because of the influence the seminal Diablo 2 seems to have on it so far. Wilson is particularly fond of the new character and inventory screen, where items once again boast different sizes, along with stats that are more in line with Diablo 2. However, there are some modern choices, such as a flat DPS number on weapons, that rub him the wrong way. Still, he recognize...
