Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

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. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    Halo Infinite Reportedly Downloads Over 1GB of Data Between Matches

    Those with data caps, you may want to stop playing until a fix is implemented.

    If you are still enjoying Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode, you may be upset to hear that something has gone terribly awry with how the menus download and cache data. Or rather in this case: How that data is not cached.

  • Ubisoft Cancels Ghost Recon Battle Royale, Splinter Cell VR, and Two Other Projects

    Splinter Cell just cannot catch a break.

    Ubisoft says that they have cancelled the development of four separate games that were at various stages of development. Two of the projects were never announced by Ubisoft. The other two are Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR.

    Discord is not a substitute for forums, but alas.

    Gearbox Software announces that they will be shuttering their forums. The process has already started to happen with old sections being converted to read-only a few days ago.

    Gearbox notes that users will have about 30 days to save any old posts they want to keep for whatever reason. Later this summer, it is expected that Gearbox Software will launch a new website and when that time comes, the forums will cease to exist....

    The Technology Behind Online Casinos

    Typically, the tech needed to run online casinos banks on skill sets, so specialized development has to be outsourced to dedicated game developers. Digital casinos have evolved considerably. From the days of offering compatibility with only desktop computers, it's now hugely possible for you to play away anytime you prefer with your apps on your smartphone.

    For a casino to operate, however, it needs to obtain prior licensing from an appropriate authority. These bodies enforce the u...

    Cole's Legacy DLC for inFAMOUS Second Son is Now Available for Free

    Now is your chance to get the elusive DLC.

    When Infamous Second Son (stylized as inFAMOUS) first came out in 2014, it offered a small piece of DLC that bridged the gap between the span of time between Infamous 2 and the events of Second Son. This DLC was called Cole's Legacy and the only way that you could obtain this content was to have pre-ordered the game in the US or purchased the Special Edition elsewhere in the world. At least in Europe, the DLC was available to purchase separately...

    First Look at Yakuza 8 Comes from an MMA Fighter

    It looks like the band is getting back together.

    The first look at Yakuza 8 (or whatever it ends up being called) has appeared online from one of the most unlikely of sources. A behind the scenes video from MMA fighter and YouTuber Mikuru Asakura took fans inside the inner workings of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. During the lengthy video tour, we got a quick glimpse of Yakuza: Like a Dragon stars Ichiban Kasuga, Koichi Adachi, and Yu Nanba all together in a new game.

  • John Romero is Making a New Game

    John Romero is Making a New Game

    John Romero is about to make Unreal Engine 5 his-- oh, who are we kidding.

    As one of the key figures behind such standout franchises like Doom, Quake, Heretic, and er... Daikatana, John Romero is no stranger to the gaming industry. The last game he worked on, Empire of Sin, came out back in 2020 to some rather tepid reviews. Some bad reviews don't keep a good Romero down (again, Daikatana says hello), which is why Romero is looking to create a new first-person shooter.
