Xbox maker Microsoft announced the $69 billion acquisition of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard Inc in January and has pledged to keep the hit franchise on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement with Activision.
'This is the funfair, exactly like you don't remember. With every game hooked up to innovative RFID wristband tech, and a bespoke app that logs gamers' scores, tracks leader boards and takes bragging rights to a whole new level.'
His scan before the first round of the US Chess Championships yesterday endured considerably longer than those of other contestants and the guard even turned him around to scan his behind - prompting laughter from commentators.
Mr Gotterson has recommended casinos introduce gambling cards with a person's identity as well as $1000 cash transaction limits to reduce the likelihood of money laundering and to help gambling addicts.
Even with amateur online tournaments, which are much easier to cheat in than professional meetings, players are motivated by the lure of prize money, as well as crucial ranking points they need to get them into more illustrious tournaments.
There are certainly high stakes involved, despite chess's ordinarily understated image. The Sinquefield Cup paid $87,500 (£77,500) to the eventual winner, whilst the upcoming Chess.com Global Championship offers an overall prize fund of $1million (£886,000) and will hand $200,000 (£177,585) to the victor.

Star Entertainment could have its gaming licences torn up at two of its Queensland Casinos with an inquiry set to hand down a damning report on Thursday alleging money laundering, tax fraud and offering gifts for suspected criminals.

Then Chess.com earlier this week published a lengthy report claiming Niemann had 'likely' cheated in more than 100 online games, including in several cash-prize tournaments - though had no evidence to suggest he'd cheated in over-the-board (OTB), in-person matches.
Niemann beat chess world champion Carlsen on September 4 in the prestigious Sinquefield Cup, the infamous tournament in which the 19-year-old was accused of using vibrating anal beads to communicate with his coach.
Chess.com explained that they applied statistical analysis to Niemann's pkv Games, comparing his moves to those a chess engine would make in the same position. A high correlation between the two strongly points towards cheating.

He later blamed a poor culture at the casino for its failure to clamp down on money laundering and misleading banks and the regulator, revealing he personally green-lit an $11million line of credit to a high roller and okayed illegal lending.
The report from the Queensland inquiry comes a month after the report by the NSW gaming regulator found Star had repeatedly breached the law, misled banks and was infiltrated by criminal elements for years (pictured, Star Casino in Sydney)
