Back in 2023, a court ordered Valve chief Gabe Newell to testify, in person, in the long-running antitrust suit filed by Wolfire Games in 2021. A new report by Bloomberg runs down some of what Newell had to say during that testimony, including a denial that Steam holds any kind of monopoly on PC gaming….
Daedric Artifacts are some of the most powerful items in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and you can get quite a few of them within the first hours of the game. Most Daedric Artifacts are tied to special Daedric quests found at shrines across Cyrodiil, but others can be obtained from different sources like…
Good thing the days are looking longer around here, because I’m going to need my full stamina bar and an irresponsible 2am bedtime to keep up with the cozy game launches in June. The calendar may not look as long as the list from May yet but just you wait until we clear the first…

It’s also the last-known location of Eddie Velvet, a musician being tracked by private investigator Red Walker—that’s you. But who cares about runaway musicians when there are monsters trying…
