Ex-Microsoft engineer David Plummer has revealed that he was the “primary author” of Windows XP’s Product Activation system on the OS side, and so he’s got some inside details on the workings behind the infamous “FCKGW” product key. You know, the one that seemed to be written on every pirated, home-burnt CD copy of the…
Microsoft, at this point, drips gore from head to toe. The megacorp has made a hobby of shuttering studios and laying off thousands of devs, in attempt after attempt to right the listing ship of its games business. No luck yet, on that front. You might wonder how Playground’s upcoming Fable reboot, in the works…
It’s that time of year again, folks. The PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct is nearly upon us. We sent a crew out to Japan to film exciting moments from the show floor, and we’ll be giving you more information on over 30 games. We’ll have world premieres, shadowdrops, DLC, release dates, and more. This year’s…
World of Warcraft: Forever‘s an interesting pitch—instead of no changes, it’s an all-changes version of vanilla WoW. Updated talent trees, new quests, essentially an envisioning of the OG game where, save for the new sky elves, all of the fresh additions are horizontal.

But although it may look like developer Pawprint Studio has included a side of gacha with that meal, it’s actually a little more complicated…
The Witcher 3 is getting an expansion, Songs of the Past, over a decade after its release—along with a pretty hefty remaster. And you might think hey, how is CD Projekt Red working on all of this and The Witcher 4 at the same time? The answer, like many studios, is that it’s not doing…
The great AI debate has heated up in recent weeks, amid calls from some industry figures for a slowdown in development—although others, like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, seem keen to dismiss many of those calls as simple doomsaying. Now, former US president Barack Obama has posted his thoughts on X regarding the issue, and it’s…
When I got to play a sliver of Company of Heroes 3‘s dynamic Italian campaign for the first time, it was hard not to be impressed. The team had taken all the best parts of Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault, expanded it, and then added all sorts of novel new ideas. It felt like…
It’s no secret that the US administration, under President Trump, has been keen to get foreign chip manufacturing migrated closer to home. There are also benefits for Taiwanese and Korean chipmakers manufacturing in the US; of course, the least of which is avoiding the threat of tariffs. And now it seems SK hynix could be…
