But at some point in the future, launch day could be a thing of the past. EA Sports chief executive Andrew Wilson recently revealed in an interview with Bloomberg that the company’s sports titles - including FIFA - could become a subscription service. It would mark a fundamental change in how video games are distributed, but how would it work and when is it likely to happen?

In March, the more than $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) passed with broad bipartisan support. A key part of that unprecedented legislation was direct payments of up to $1,200 sent by the IRS to the majority of Americans. Now, as unemployment has surged and the economy has tanked further, Democrats aim to send more direct payments to Americans. But this time, leading Republicans have balked at the idea of quickly passing another multitrillion-dollar spending package....

The contract Brady signed with the Buccaneers in 2020 was a two-year deal, suggesting Brady was going to give two cracks at winning in his first stop post-Patriots. Whether it’s his only non-New England club or not is yet to be determined, but after Brady set a franchise-record with 40 touchdown passes in 2020, there’s no reason to believe he won’t be back playing for Bruce Arians again in September 2021....

However, things started going downhill for Yuvraj right when he was in the form of his life, in the year 2011....

Shatner’s Captain Kirk is a legend in the Star Trek franchise, leading the crew of the starship Enterprise over three seasons on television in the 1960s and in seven Star Trek films afterward. However, in his book titled, Boldly Go, Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder, Shatner mentioned that the late Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in the show, once told Shatner the cast found him “cold and arrogant....

The Cubs haven’t gotten much offense from either of their current starters, and Montero has been down-right horrible at controlling the running game, which has apparently become a point of frustration for manager Joe Maddon. At the same time, the team is winning and the pitching staff has a stellar 2.66 ERA, so there’s a bit of “if it ain’t broke…” that probably limits Contreras’ opportunity, and, thus fantasy baseball value....

The midfielder reacted badly to a late challenge from counterpart Matt Smith, squaring up to the City player and pushing him to the ground. A number of City and Arsenal players were subsequently involved in a fracas, with Wilshere shoved by Smith’s team-mate, Tyreke Wilson. The referee gave Wilshere a straight red card, which he did not appeal, while Wilson was also sent off, and the 25-year-old has now reacted to the incident....

Wilshere produced an impressive display to help Wenger’s side to a 1-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday. It marked the 25-year-old’s fourth appearance this season, but the England international is yet to feature in the Premier League. However, Wenger said that could soon change, with his team visiting Everton on Sunday. “He will get a chance in the Premier League, don’t worry about that....

But while he certainly would like to be running better, Stewart seems surprisingly upbeat. Part of that could be that he’s headed to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he has two career Cup wins.

To the shock of many who have since moved on to iTunes or Spotify, Winamp was still a thing. After more than 15 years, Winamp is headed to the digital graveyard.

Announced by Jordan on July 26, 2021, via his Twitter, Twitch has apparently suspended the WingsOfRedemption partnership due to violating Exhibit D of Twitch’s content guidelines, as outlined in the original partnership contract. Because this is a contract unique to the WingsOfRedemption Twitch channel, the specifics of Exhibit D cannot be easily identified.
