Xbox Rolls Back Price Following Fan Pushback
Summary In a significant victory for consumer advocacy,Xboxhas officially reversed its controversial decision to price upcoming first-party titles at $80 USD. Following widespread backlash from the gaming community,Microsoftconfirmed today that its full-priced holiday releases, including the highly anticipatedThe Outer Worlds 2,will now launch at $69.99 USD, aligning with current market conditions. The initial announcement in May 2025 that Xbox's major titles, starting withThe Outer Worlds 2would jump to an $80 price point sparked immediate and fervent criticism from players. Many argued against the price increase, especially for a game like Obsidian Entertainment's RPG, which some felt might not justify a premium tier traditionally reserved for massive blockbusters. The move also saw Xbox following Nintendo, which had recently launchedMario Kart Worldat $80 USD for the Switch 2. The swift reversal by Xbox suggests a direct response to consumer sentiment. Reports indicate that early pre-order numbers forThe Outer Worlds 2may have been lower than anticipated, signaling consumer unwillingness to embrace the new pricing model. Obsidian Entertainment even acknowledged the feedback with a humorous in-universe social media post, joking about 'revising the price' after receiving 'SOS via skip drone' from players. Microsoft's statement confirmed that those who pre-orderedThe Outer Worlds 2at $80 USD will receive refunds. This decision also impacts other major 2025 holiday releases from Xbox, which will now also adhere to the $69.99 USD standard. Earlier this year, Microsoft made the announcement to increase the prices of games for the holiday season. However, it has since backfired. In a recent statement, Microsoft said, 'We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players.' While some in the industry have pointed to rising development costs as a justification for price hikes, Microsoft's quick backtrack underscores the power of collective player feedback in influencing corporate decisions. This development leaves the door open for other publishers, including Sony, to re-evaluate their own pricing strategies in response to strong consumer pushback. Good news to hear. Games should not be $80 — Freeman_san (@Freeman_Sans)July 23, 2025

Urban explorer discovers ‘ghost town' full of empty, eerie hotels in Japan: ‘Like a time capsule'
An urban explorer has uncovered a hauntingly preserved resort town in Japan, where towering hotels sit crumbling along a riverside cliff. It's been untouched for over three decades, according to reports. Luke Bradburn, 28, stumbled upon the forgotten tourist destination of Kinugawa Onsen during a trip to Japan in early 2024. While his original goal was to document the Fukushima exclusion zone, Bradburn ventured beyond the area and found a 'ghost town.' 'I was scouting other nearby locations when I came across this entire district of abandoned hotels,' Bradburn told news agency SWNS. 'It was like walking into a ghost town.' Kinugawa Onsen was once a bustling resort town renowned for its natural hot springs. It began to decline in the early 1990s during Japan's economic downturn. As tourism dried up, many hotels shuttered. 10 The forgotten tourist hotspot of Kinugawa Onsen in Japan was visited by YouTuber Luke Bradburn in 2024.

Luke Bradburn / SWNS But due to the country's strict property laws, the buildings were never demolished. Many remain in legal limbo after owners either died without heirs or disappeared altogether, according to SWNS. 'It's very different in Japan,' Bradburn said. 'The crime rate is so low that abandoned buildings don't get looted or destroyed as quickly.' He added, 'In some cases, they need the owner's permission to demolish, and if the owner died, they legally can't for 30 years.' 10 Ceiling tiles begin to fall down inside a hallway in one of the buildings. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 10 An indoor spa left abandoned in the city. Luke Bradburn / SWNS What remains today appears to be an eerie scene, with an entire street of massive, multi-story hotels slowly rotting away. Bradburn, who is from Greater Manchester and is now a full-time explorer, spent six hours navigating overgrown paths, broken staircases and precarious drop-offs around five or six of the roughly 20 structures, said SWNS. He would often move between buildings through interconnecting corridors. 'From the outside, it's all overgrown and decaying,' he said. 'But inside, some of the rooms were pristine – like no one had touched them in decades.' 10 An indoor pool with a view of the mountainside. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 10 Luke Bradburn sits on a chair inside a hotel in Kinugawa Onsen during his visit to the forgotten city in 2024. Luke Bradburn / SWNS Bradburn found himself in hotel lobbies filled with forgotten remnants of the past – traditional Japanese onsen baths, untouched rooms, even drinks still sitting on tables, the same source reported. 'One of the strangest things was walking into a lobby and seeing a massive taxidermy deer and falcon still standing there,' he recalled. 'It was bizarre. I'd seen pictures of it online before, and then suddenly we were face to face with it.' Some spaces felt like time capsules, he said. 'We found arcade machines still filled with toys, tables set with drinks and rooms that looked like they hadn't been touched in decades,' Bradburn said. 10 An overlook with great views of the abandoned city and its hotels in central Japan. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 10 Books. phones and chairs are left untouched where they were placed over 30 years before in the city. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 'It was surreal.' He said much of the area was extremely dangerous to navigate. 'There were floors missing, staircases hanging down, parts where you had to backtrack because everything had collapsed,' he said. 10 A dining area with place settings untouched on a counter. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 10 Bradburn said much of the area was extremely dangerous to navigate. Luke Bradburn / SWNS 'It was really unsafe in some areas. You had to be so careful.' Bradburn said the entire experience, overall, was emotional and disorienting. 'Each [building] felt like stepping into a time capsule,' he said. 'You get a sense of what life must've been like here at its peak – and then it just stopped,' he said. 'It's eerie, sad and fascinating all at once.' Kinugawa Onsen still draws some curious visitors, said SWNS, but the ghost town of abandoned hotels stands as a quiet and mysterious relic of Japan's tourism boom and bust. Much of it remains hidden in plain sight, as Bradburn's experience indicated – still waiting to be further discovered.

An Airline Worker Is Telling Travelers To Stop This One Luggage Tag Habit That's Fueling A Scam
If you're anything like me, one of the first things you want to do when you get out of baggage claim is rip off the ugly sticker luggage tag from your checked-in bag, or, let's be real, the carry-on you were forced to check in because there isn't enough space in overhead bins on the plane. Now, most of the time I rip them off when I get home or to my hotel. But, there have been lots of times I have ripped it off at the airport while waiting for my bus, car, or train to come pick me up, and apparently that is a big NO-NO. Recently, in the r/delta subreddit, u/Limp_Jeweler_2026, who says they work for Delta, explained why you should always remove your luggage tags at home because of a growing scam. Saying, "Good evening, everyone. I am a Delta baggage claims manager, and I just wanted to let everyone know to please start discarding your bag tags at home. We are getting an influx of fraudulent claims being submitted for 'missing items' as these people are observing who is removing their luggage tags in the claim areas and using your information to submit claims for reimbursement." They went on to add, "From my own personal experience in currently dealing with this, it is causing issues with reimbursing the real people if they submit a legitimate claim. So please be careful and don't take your tags off at the airport. They can steal enough information from that to use your travel itinerary to get paid." People in the comments were grateful for the advice: "Scams, fraud, and fuck around and find out are at an all-time high. This person is looking out for you!!! Do not scroll past this advice." —FormalTemporary2494 "Never would have occurred to me, but THANK YOU, OP!" —3ebgirl4eva "Japan had secured bag tag disposal receptacles near the secured exit of baggage claim. This explains why." —Longjumping-Usual-35 While others had even more advice about what to do with luggage tags: "I take my tags off as soon as I get my bag and stuff the tags inside my personal item. I believe my priority/business class tag had me targeted by a pickpocket many years ago." —06031eec "Just adding to this: Also, don't throw these away in your hotel room either. As a former hotel employee, there have been a few instances of fraud using bag tags found at hotels, too. Be vigilant!" —Pristine-Director716 "Not even bag tags, printed boarding passes as well. Next time you show up to your seat and someone else is there, don't be surprised, lol." —TRex2025 "Do one better. SHRED your bag tags and printed boarding passes as soon as you can after getting to your destination." —Helpful_Hovercraft25 You can read the original thread on Reddit.
