Counter-Strike is dead, long live Counter-Strike!

Without a press release in sight, Valve has launched Counter-Strike 2 to the world. This free-to-play release is available right now and will replace your current installs of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Blizzard Admits Mistakes Were Made in Season 1 Patch for Diablo 4

    The studio promises to never do a patch like it ever again.

    The latest major patch for Diablo 4 nerfed the every living hell out of several key abilities across every class in the game. The update, version 1.1.0a that came out on July 18th ahead of the start of Season 1: Season of the Malignant, has been heavily criticized by players for days now. The update nerfed several abilities across every class that, for many players, made the game just unfun to play.

The August 10th release date on Steam is the same day that its next season, Season 6: Invasion, is slated to begin.

    60FPS Performance Mode Confirmed for Remnant 2

    In a world where 60FPS on current-gen is uncertain, it's nice to get some good news.


    Several games lately have shipped without any sort of a 60FPS performance mode option on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. What used to be the norm near the launch of these newer consoles has now seemingly become so uncertain that it's now newsworthy when a game announces it will ship with a 60FPS performance option.

    Microsoft - Activision Blizzard Deal on Hold Until August

    This is the acquisition that never ends. Yes it goes on and on, my friend.

    As reported on several times last week, the only remaining hurdle standing in the way of Microsoft closing the deal on their Activision Blizzard acquisition was the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Microsoft and the CMA got together on Monday, July 17th as planned to try to either finalize a deal that would satisfy the CMA.

    After a few hours of talks today, both sides agreed that Microsoft...

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
