The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week.

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

    Battlefield 2042 PC Requirements

    Time to see if your PC is up to snuff.

    DICE, by way of the official Battlefield Twitter account, just revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs you will need for Battlefield 2042. Now, while they do specify that these are the requirements for the open beta, it's not hard to imagine that these will also be very close or identical to the specs you will need for the final game when it launches on November 19.

    DICE and EA finally lifted the lid on information concerning the upcoming open beta for Battlefield 2042. It has been a long time coming and it's great to finally get some news about this.

    The Witcher is Getting Kid-Focused Netflix Series

    How exactly is that going to work?

    Tudum was a recent event hosted by Netflix that was some global fan event thingy. I don't really know, nor do I care. The important takeaway from this event, at least as far as this site is concerned, is the fact that we have some new news concerning The Witcher series, or should I say serieses? I shouldn't, because that's not a word.

    During this Tudum event, Netflix showed off a little bit of the second season for The Witcher series,...

    Looking Forward to TES: VI


    The Elder Scrolls is a series that will be well known within the gaming community as it has enjoyed a long history within the industry. It was one of the first groundbreaking RPG games to have arrived to gamers since the industry started, albeit this was in a basic form when compared to some of the blockbuster hits today. It should not be a stretch to say that the Elder Scrolls is up there with some of the best RPG series in gaming, such as Final Fantasy and The Witcher. However, for many...
