The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

    The Callisto Protocol Canceled in One Major Region

    Denuvo Removed and then Added Right Back to Gotham Knights

    Warner Bros. accidentally removed the anti-tamper protection from their game for a time.

    For a brief moment in time, it almost appeared as though Warner Bros. did the PC gaming community a solid when they removed Denuvo anti-tamper from Gotham Knights.
