The Court of Justice of the European Union has dismissed an attempt by Valve to convince it that the geo-blocking of Steam game activation keys did not infringe on EU law, reaffirming its finding from 2021 that “Valve and five PC videogames publishers unlawfully restricted cross-border sales of certain PC videogames that are compatible with…

As someone who routinely has Rimworld on in the background, ready to be tended to the second I have a moment, dEskape immediately grabbed my attention with its premise. A base building survival game that sits at the bottom of your screen while you get on with whatever it is you’d like to get on…

There are a lot of ways to upset or irritate your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, some of which are beyond my comprehension. I swear sometimes Lae’zel gets mad at me just for breathing wrong, and choices I think will satiate everyone often backfire. But what about the most distressing, devastating choices that will really…

Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you multiclass—opening the floodgates to a lot of min-maxing nonsense. In case you’re a single-class devotee (or just haven’t played the game yet), multiclassing means “taking levels” in several different classes.

Counter-Strike 2 is here for everyone and it is unsurprisingly proving very popular, with over 1.4 million people playing it at the same time on launch day, forcing Valve to add more servers to play on. With so many people jumping in and trying to get their CS Rating as high as possible you are…

Dazed and Confused is one of the many side gigs you can pick up in the new Cyberpunk 2077 expansion, Phantom Liberty. You can access it once you’ve followed the main story quest and met Mr Hands in person. You’ll get a call from the fixer, asking you to locate Lina Malina, an actress who…

Does anybody really need a 27-inch, 4K esports gaming monitor? 1080p and 1440p are the preferred resolutions for pros, and for good reason. For starters, it’s relatively inexpensive to drive games at those resolutions at framerates exceeding 240 fps which is needed to successfully compete. But for some reason, the illustrious council of elders at…

Serial and somewhat hit-and-miss YouTube ‘leak’ channel, Moore’s Law is Dead, has unloaded some technical details and performance expectations for AMD’s upcoming Zen 5 and 6 CPU architectures. The headline takeaway is arguably that it involves more modest performance gains than previous rumours. Just in case you’ve forgotten, AMD’s current Ryzen 7000 CPUs use the…
