Rainbow Six Siege: No ETA on Fix for Purchase Issues
Rainbow Six Siege players on multiple platforms are currently unable to spend in-game currency on new items or operators, and Ubisoft doesn't know when the issue will be fixed.
Reports of the problem - which sees the game failing to complete purchases with either earned currency Renown or paid-for R6 Credits - began yesterday, and have continued since.
Reports have come in of the problem occurring on Xbox One, PS4 and PC - we've confirmed that the problem is ongoing on PS4.
Ubisoft representatives have confirmed that they're looking into the problem, but a post on the Rainbow Six Siege Official Forum says, "Unfortunately we do not have an ETA at the moment."
What It Was Like to Live Through That Oscars Wrinkle in Time Screening
Host Jimmy Kimmel pulled off an epic stunt during the 90th annual Academy Awards when he and a crowd of Hollywood's biggest stars -- including Gal Gadot, Guillermo del Toro, Mark Hamill, Lupita Nyong'o and Lin-Manuel Miranda -- took a break from the Oscars and headed next door to crash a screening of Ava DuVernay's A Wrinkle in Time at the TLC Chinese Theaters. The stunt might have been a surprise to Oscar viewers, but no one was more shocked by the way the events unfolded than the unsuspecting audience watching the movie. Here's what it was like to be sitting in the front row.
What Shape of Water, Get Out’s Wins Mean for the Future of the Oscars
As Guillermo del Toro and the cast and crew of The Shape of Water took the stage after their Best Picture win at the 90th Academy Awards, I couldn’t help but feel like we were witnessing a turning point for the Oscars. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that we’ll look back on last night’s show as a mold for how the Oscars progress going forward in terms of genre films being represented in the major award categories.
The 90th Academy Awards seemed to speak to folks like me (and I presume a lot of you) who have felt like horror, fantasy, and science fiction films generally get overlooked during Hollywood’s big night. Honestly, in 2018, it’s harder to find someone who isn’t caught up on Game of Thrones or the Marvel Cinematic Universe films than it is to find someone who is. So it makes perfect sense that these giant pillars of popular culture are rewarded when they’re excellent.

Rampage Movie Shifts US Release Date
Rampage will be released one week earlier than originally planned in North America.
As reported by Deadline, Warner Bros. has moved up the release date of the Dwayne Johnson-led movie from April 20 to April 13.
It's worth noting Disney recently moved up the release date of Avengers: Infinity War, which will now open in theaters on April 27, so this release date shift for Rampage provides an extra week of breathing room before the release of Marvel Studios' big superhero ensemble movie.
