Riot to Wind Down 2XKO Development by December

Riot Games has announced it will cease active development of its League of Legends–universe fighting game 2XKO in December, with servers remaining online but no new updates.

Riot says the game failed to attract a sustainable audience despite a dedicated community, making sunsetting the game the best option after exploring other options.

Bitcoin's December Outlook: Breakout or Breakdown?

Historically, December has been a mixed month for Bitcoin, with average gains around 4.8% but a median decline of 3.2%, and recent patterns suggest that if November and October are negative, December likely will be too.
