    Battlefield 2042 Update 3 Changelog

    A changelog that rivals the length of a CVS Pharmacy receipt.

    Battlefield 2042 is in a sad state, even following the release of Update #2 just last week. We all knew that Update #3 was coming and that it would be far more substantial than Update #2 was. Today, DICE released the changelog for Battlefield 2042 Update #3 and it is a long one.

    The length of this changelog almost makes you think that maybe this game shouldn't have been released when it was. And you know what?...

    What Are the Best CS:GO Teams in the World?


    What is the mark of a truly successful computer game? Most units sold? Biggest grossing franchise? Most dedicated fan following?

    However, the advent of eSports has taken gaming to a whole new level. With tournaments devoted exclusively to revealing the best...

    Valve Confirms There Won't be Steam Deck Exclusive Games

    Well, duh.

    In the newly updated FAQ page for their upcoming Steam Deck, Valve says that they are not interested in developers making Steam Deck exclusive titles.

    Valve's remarks about this came about during a recently Steamworks Steam Deck event where developers and publishers asked...
