  Nier: Automata's Mystery Door was an Elaborate Ruse

These messages will then, allegedly, be reviewed by Mojang and...

  Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

  Haven't had one of these bad boys in a while.
  
  Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.
  
  Today's update is no different. Frankly, I'm just writing about this new update because I happened to see that it was just released, and...

That's about nine years without a new Grand Theft Auto title.
  
  Rockstar Games seems to have been quietly working on Grand...
