Hasbro is officially bringing Magic: The Gathering to the big screen, teaming up with Legendary Entertainment to create a live-action film and television “universe” based on the iconic trading card game. The upcoming Magic universe appears to be separate from this Netflix project, meaning Hasbro is investing heavily in multiple fronts to bring the card game into broader entertainment media. Valve has announced that Steam users in the United Kingdom will now need to link a credit card to their account if they want to access games or pages marked with “mature content.” This move is part of Valve’s compliance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which enforces stricter age verification for online platforms. This new rule means that without a credit card, UK Steam users cannot even view community hubs or discussions about mature-rated games. If stricter rules like this are implemented in the Philippines in the future, many local players may find themselves locked out of certain games since not everyone has access to a credit card.
