  • #NewsBits - Steam Hacked and Left 4 Dead 2 is Now Backwards Compatible

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]4593[/ATTACH]
    Some quick pieces of news for you in this latest #NewsBits for March 29, 2016.
    • A 16-year old hacked Steam to get his fake game, Watch Paint Dry, up on Steam without Valve's approval. He did it so that Valve would finally do something to fix a loophole since Valve apparently kept ignoring him.

    • As a surprise to nearly nobody, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor 2 is apparently being worked on.

    • Major Nelson announced that Left 4 Dead 2 is now backwards compatible on the Xbox One.

    • You can try an open trial of Unravel's first level right now through Origin on the PC, Xbox One, or the PlayStation 4.

    Supernova from Bandai Namco enters into a F2P open beta on PC.

    • Mac OS X users can now play Master of Orion with latest Early Access update. You can get it on either Steam or GOG.

    • A new puzzle-platformer that stars fruits and vegetables, Organic Panic, is now available on PlayStation 4 from developer Last Limb. It will be out on the XB1 on April 1. Both platforms go for $14.99 (USD).

    • Another Doom closed beta begins on Thursday, March 31. Most (all?) people that have access to it should have gotten a key or just use the old client through Steam if you had that before. Pre-loading begins tomorrow for it.

    • Razer released a new game capture card today. For $180 you can pick up the Razer Ripsaw and capture plus stream your console games with relative ease through your computer to the Internet.

      Despite liking other games of its genre, Shadow of Mordor was the worst game i played in 2014, be interesting to see what they do with the sequel.

    by Shawn Zipay
    Over a month of beta testing later, the update is ready for prime time.

    In late April, Valve pushed out a beta update for the Steam client. This update was far more extensive than mere bug fixes or tiny tweaks here and there. This update has just left beta and is out for everyone using Steam.

    First and foremost, Steam is now using a new and updated framework. A lot of this won't be visible to the end user, but it allows Valve to more easily share code between the desktop...
