OPINION - Tech & Science Daily podcast: Whoopi Goldberg ‘upset’ over Blizzard’s Diablo IV

Whoopi Goldberg has called on video game developer Blizzard to get in touch with her, after she posted a video on Instagram complaining about their latest game Diablo IV.

Whoopi said she’s upset that the latest title isn’t available to play on Mac, and said she wants her money back.

Although Blizzard hasn’t officially responded to her videos, Morgan Brown, a senior designer on Diablo IV, posted a comment saying “Miss Goldberg, I am so sorry and I love you. Sincerely, a Diablo quest designer.”

The Chief Executive of the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), Sandy Luk, has told Tech & Science Daily that government targets for cutting the amount of sewage dumped in waterways across the UK “doesn’t cut the mustard”.

The MCS is pursuing legal action to strengthen the government’s Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan, which sets targets to improve excess sewage dumps by 2035 and 2050.

However, the organisation has praised the government’s decision to issue a consultation, asking the public whether estuaries and coastal waters should be included in the plan.

A British paralympian selected for astronaut training with the European Space Agency says his selection delivers a “very powerful” message about what people with physical disabilities can do.

John McFall, a professional track and field athlete who won a bronze medal for Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, is now hoping to become the world’s first disabled astronaut.
