I’m a little nervous about 007 First Light, which—from what I’ve seen—seems to play everything a bit too safe and linear to really leverage IO’s strengths as a studio.

In 2006—two decades ago—Microsoft ceased long-term support for Windows 98 and Me, meaning that MS-DOS’s life was…
Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford is making friends and influencing people on social media, which is to say that he’s repeatedly insisting the studio does not use generative AI in a professional capacity (and occasionally calling people names) after a gen AI image he posted over the weekend drew a pretty negative reaction from followers. The…

Some of us at PC Gamer managed to order them, while others were turned away by Steam errors and will have to wait for a restock. For impatient people with money to burn, confirmed orders of the controllers immediately…
A new discovery in the hunt for Diablo 4’s secret cow level was found over the weekend, continuing the quest that started when the game was originally released.

Remember Gabe Newell’s superyacht Leviathan—the one he liked so much, he bought the whole damn company making it? Oceanco, as the company is known, has dropped a new ad for the boat and its owner, complete with appearances by Gabe himself, and it sure looks like being a super-rich guy is a pretty good time….
