From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

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.

    League of Legends Season 2024 Cinematic Now Live

    In case you wanted to see it.

    Riot Games released the new cinematic for League of Legends' Season 2024. The new cinematic is called "Still Here" and with its release Season 2024 has officially kicked off.

    I assume that this cinematic will also play within League of Legends itself, perhaps when you launch the game. I do not know how these work as I do not play League of Legends. However, if you can't access the game yet or just want to see the cinematic outside...

    Steam Sets New Concurrent User Record Just Because They Could

    Steam is off to a strong start in 2024.

    You would think that new concurrent user records might have been set during the big Steam Winter Sale, which ended just earlier this week. You would think that, but apparently you would be wrong. Instead, a new concurrent user record was set by Steam on a weekend in which there are no sales, no Steam Fests, or really anything else truly notable going on.

    On the morning of January 7, 20224, Steam set a new concurrent user record....

    Microsoft Adding Copilot AI Key to Keyboards

    The first new keyboard key in about 30 years.

    About 30 years ago, Microsoft added the Windows key to keyboards. Chances are extremely high that the keyboard you're using on your computer has that Windows key on it. Hell, it might even have two Windows keys on it like mine does. Sorry Mac users with your Options key, this news does not apply to you.

    Microsoft is apparently not satisfied with the classic keyboard anymore, because they are about to introduce a new key dedicated...
