Hasta La Gadget!

Bethesda launched re-released versions of Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 earlier this week. However, there was a strange requirement which made it obligatory for players to log into an online account before they could play the games. It wasn’t long before players started criticizing Bethesda for this decision. It has listened to their feedback and confirmed that this requirement will be removed.

Many called this requirement ridiculous because the first of these games was released over 25 years ago. There wasn’t an internet login requirement at that time so ideally, the game shouldn’t have one even though it has been re-released.

Bethesda has confirmed that it’s going to make the online login requirement optional in a new update. It added that this requirement was included for the Slayers Club in order to reward players for playing the classic Doom games.

They would have been able to unlock items for Doom Eternal, a game that’s yet to arrive. Bethesda has now said that the login “should be optional” and that it’s working on changing the requirement to optional now. It says that an update will be sent out to everybody once the fix is ready. Unfortunately, Bethesda hasn’t confirmed precisely when that might happen.

The Justice Department had concerns about competition in the U.S. mobile market reducing if T-Mobile and Sprint were allowed to merge. It wanted to maintain the status quo of having four major wireless players. That’s where Dish came into the mix. It was reportedly in talks with a deal to acquire the merging carriers’ prepaid businesses. Dish has now confirmed that it will indeed be entering the country’s mobile market as a major player.

As a result of its agreement with the Justice Department, T-Mobile, and Sprint, once the merger is completed, Dish will acquire Sprint’s prepaid businesses and customers which include Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and the Sprint-branded prepaid service. It will also acquire 14MHz of Sprint’s nationwide 800MHz spectrum and access the T-Mobile network for seven years.

The portion of spectrum it’s picking up from Sprint will be added to its own existing 600MHz and 700MHz low-band holdings. Since building out a mobile network takes time, Dish customers will initially be served on a combined T-Mobile and Sprint network. They will be able to move seamlessly between T-Mobile’s nationwide network and Dish’s “new independent 5G broadband network.”

As regards 5G, Dish has committed to the FCC that it will deploy a “facilities-based” 5G broadband network that’s capable of serving 70 percent of the country’s population by June 2023. If Dish fails to meet its 5G deployment deadlines, it will make voluntary contributions to the U.S. Treasury of up to $2.2 billion.

Airlines in the United States, and indeed across the globe, have had to cancel thousands of flights as the Boeing 737 Max grounding left them with no other option. Additional issues were discovered with the aircraft and until they’re fixed and an all-clear is given, the beleaguered jet can’t take to the skies again. This has forced Southwest Airlines to leave Newark Airport.

Southwest happens to be the fifth largest airline to operate out of Newark airport. It has previously made the decision to cancel all Boeing 737 Max flights throughout the rest of this year. Since it’s not flying as many flights that it did before, and because revenues are falling due to the jet’s grounding, Southwest Airlines has decided to move its operations out of New York’s Newark Airport.

The New York Times reports that Southwest will now be consolidating its flights that will no longer depart from Newark into New York’s La Guardia Airport. It has already canceled all 737 Max flights until January 5th next year.

The airline has said that customers who were due to fly out of Newark will now be offered flights flying out of alternative airports. Around 125 employees that worked for the company at Newark will be offered jobs elsewhere. Southwest also says that it’s in preliminary discussions with Boeing about being compensated for the loss that it’s suffering because of the 737 Max.
