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...

    Even with this decision, the legal fight is still far from over.

    Palworld Devs Really Want You to Know It's Not a Scam

    Totes serious.

    The "Pokemon with guns" game, Palworld, is very much not a scam. At least, that's what the game's development studio, Pocketpair, are making very clear to fans.

    A fair number of people have gotten the idea that Palworld is a fake game, or even just some sort of a meme game. It's not particularly clear why people have jumped to this conclusion. Perhaps it's because the idea of cute animals wielding modern human firearms is a bit too wild. Perhaps...

    Call of Duty Anti-cheat Will Close the Game if Aim Assist is Activated

    Shut it down. Shut it all down.

    An update from Call of Duty says that the Ricochet anti-cheat will now just shut down Call of Duty if a mouse and keyboard player activates aim assist.

    The team warns that repeated use of these aim assist tools could lead to "further account action." Presumably this means that these players will be either account banned or hardware banned from Call of Duty.
