thegamer.com:

Happy Thursday, folks, it's that time of week again where we take a look back at the last seven days on TheGamer, which have felt especially long and brutal with the rising temperatures. Global warming, eh?

This week has seen a range of different topics, including serious ones like the teabagging controversy that followed a recent Apex Legends tournament, the lack of interest from FIFA players in regards to women's matches, and Hasbro's disappointing treatment of Magic: The Gathering.

Beyond that, we've also got a heat-centric piece that'll hopefully give you a few ideas on how to cool off, or at least let you emphasise with characters who have it way worse than you. Finally, we've also got an interview with the New World developers, who talk about the upcoming Summer update and answer the question - should you reinstall New World?

Earlier this week, Dilly was almost disqualified and permanently banned from an Apex Legends tournament ran by Fate Legion for teabagging his own tournament, leading to other prominent Apex players speaking about the issue. In response, TheGamer's editor-in-chief Stacey Henley discussed what teabagging actually is, what it actually means, how it can be different depending on the context and gender of the player teabagging or being teabagged, and how the esports world currently isn't a level playing field for women like it is for men.

While EA goes ahead with revealing what FIFA 23 is going to be all about, features editor Ben Sledge has taken a look back at one of the biggest missed opportunities of FIFA 22 - women's matches. Such a promising feature that deserves just as much billing as men's matches has gone pretty much unused
