Valve is expanding Steam’s Daily Deals program to support six games per day instead of four, “allowing us to shine a spotlight on more games while giving us a deeper pool of offers to select from.” And if you’re not sure what Steam’s Daily Deals program is, you’re not alone, but don’t worry, that gets…
Riot Games says recent changes to League of Legends’ reward system “didn’t hit the mark for everyone,” and so it’s bringing Hextech Chests back and reducing the Blue Essence cost for new champions by half. Riot said in a January update that League’s reward systems had “become needlessly complex, with an excessive number of currencies,…
Last October a science fiction author, Matthew Kelsey Martineau, launched a lawsuit against Bungie focused on a Destiny 2 enemy faction, the Red Legion, which Martineau alleges is based on work from his WordPress blog (Thanks, GameFile). Naturally something on the scale of Destiny 2 faces all sorts of speculative lawsuits, and this didn’t seem…
The Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod dodge-rolled out of cover just a few weeks ago, from the same modding talent that added seamless co-op to Elden Ring and, most recently, Armored Core 6. It wasn’t clear at the time when Dark Souls 3 would be getting its co-op mod. But it turns out the…
Slack, the cloud-based chat platform used by individuals and companies around the world to communicate, collaborate, and say “holy shit” to each other when interesting or stupid things happen, is down. And yes, for those of you who, like us, use Slack for professional purposes, that means nobody’s watching and you can now safely make…
Yesterday, Warner Bros announced it was closing Monolith Productions in a “strategic change of direction”. A studio with a 30-year legacy, Monolith’s games include Blood, No One Lives Forever, Tron 2.0, Condemned: Criminal Origins, and more recently its excellent Middle-earth tie-ins Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, which introduced the remarkable Nemesis System. Amid…
The Nvidia RTX 50-series has been hobbled by all kinds of problems, least of which being low stocks and resultant high prices. So when there was talk of missing ROPs in some of the new GPUs, it seemed like little more than nasty icing on an under-baked cake. However, if what founder and CEO of…
I suspect not many videogames have officially licensed fungus, but it certainly makes sense for Avowed, an RPG where you spend 50 hours in the shoes of a hero who has mushrooms growing out of their face. Thanks to a company called North Spore, you can now own your own little piece of the Dreamscourge,…
The autobattler’s been getting chimeric since Vampire Survivors released and plunged global productivity down the toilet. VS was a chaotic slot machine: you didn’t so much craft a build as you did keep pulling the lever and hope you could assemble something vaguely effective from what it spits out, which kept me occupied for weeks….
You know the deal, it’s Yeston, so prepare for something… special, and possibly a little outrageous. The company that brought us the genuinely very inspired ‘Cute Pet’ graphics card design (see the third image in the gallery further down) has certainly gone for ‘outrageous’ this time with its advertisement for an upcoming RX 9070 XT…
