Diablo 4 will get a hotfix today to sort out a major issue: its hardest dungeon is too hard
Earlier this week, Blizzard released the equivalent of a torture rack for Diablo 4’s most masochistic players—The Abattoir of Zir (try saying that ten times really fast).

In the year 2022, PC Gamer’s Morgan Park asked if the then-pre-release extraction shooter Marauders could “dethrone Escape From Tarkov with dieselpunk spaceships and impeccable vibes.” The answer, we would later learn, was “no.” Marauders launched into early access in October 2022 and came out of the gate with impressive concurrent player numbers on Steam,…

Microsoft MVP Calls Out Samsung for Slyly Disabling Windows Update
Shame on Samsung It’s a given that pre-built PCs might come with bloatware installed, but one thing you don’t expect third-party software to do is disable Windows Update on the down low. Yet that’s exactly what Samsung is doing on some of the PCs it sells. Talk about a “WTF?” moment. Patrick Barker, a Microsoft…
Call of Duty’s $28 Squid Game skins are the perfect crossover for our capitalist dystopia, and Activision knows exactly what it’s doing
It wasn’t long after the first series of Squid Game aired that we started to see its unsubtle anti-capitalist message twisted by the very types of people it attempted to skewer, and just as quickly came the takes mocking the executives, marketers and corporations for their lack of self-awareness. But as ever, the joke is…
Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 release date and expected time
It’s time to think about opening up your save file again because the Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 release date is almost upon us with another beefy update. Patch 8 is apparently among Larian’s biggest BG3 updates, too. Harvey did the math, and at least in terms of its patch note length, it’s gotta land…
