There seems to be a huge demand for Valve's handheld gaming PC.
Reservations for the newly announced Steam Deck from Valve were in very high demand today. Mere seconds after reservations opened on Steam, the Store became unresponsive for a huge number of potential consumers. The screen most users came across was a "something went wrong" error page.
Still others encountered pages that said there was an error initializing or updating their transaction. Others were...

Former Faze Member Threatens Lawsuit Against YouTubers that Exposed His Cryptocurrency Scheme
If ever there was a prime example of the Streisand effect, this is it.
Just a couple of weeks ago, former Faze member Frazier "Kay" Khattri was removed from the gaming clan after it was discovered that he and three others were pushing a crypto "pump and dump" cryptocurrency scheme. The scheme was uncovered by various YouTubers that broke the story. Those YouTubers are now getting hit by a cease and desist order to try and stop the news from spreading.

Capcom Promises Fix for Resident Evil Village Performance Issues
Capcom is pushed into action after hackers release a better performing version.
This week, a cracked version of Resident Evil Village was released by Empress. With it came word that this cracked release pretty much eliminated the very severe and very apparent framerate dips and hitching found in the official release of the game. The culprit seemed to be a double whammy of DRM that Capcom implemented into the game: Denuvo and Capcom's own DRM system.
The hitching and framerate... -

Despite Report, Marvel's Avengers' Wakanda Campaign is Not 25 Hours Long
Lost in translation.
An earlier report about the upcoming Wakanda campaign for Marvel's Avengers said that the new content would take players about 25 hours to complete. This report, presented by Entertainment Weekly, claimed that the 25 hours would be in addition to the content available in the base game.
Unfortunately, that seems to be a misinterpretation by the person who wrote the article. Square Enix clarified what was actually meant by this "25 hour" remark.... -

You've seen the announcement, now it's time for the nitty-gritty details.
Valve just announced the Steam Deck, a handheld, fully-featured portable gaming machine. It's a powerful little device that starts at $399 (USD), but we didn't really share just how powerful this hardware is.
Let's take a little look at the Steam Deck's technical specs, its design, the hardware, and the software powering it all.

Valve Announces Steam Deck, A Handheld PC Starting at $399
This new device is the first in a new series of handheld PC from Valve.
Back in May 2021, a rumor came out suggesting that Valve was working on a new handheld PC device called the SteamPal. While that is partially true, the one thing that didn't stick through to the end was the name. These devices are officially called Steam Deck and they start at a pretty affordable $399 (USD) MSRP.
Valve says that Steam Deck is a "powerful all-in-one portable PC." It has a... -

Gamers are massively upset about this. This is in spite of the fact that the version of the game that will feature Parker on the cover will only be sold through GameStop... -

Cross-play Confirmed for Battlefield 2042 but with a Catch
The catch may not be all that big of a deal, depending on your point of view.
EA has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 will include cross-play support. However, not all platforms will be able to play with all other platforms.
In a new Battlefield Briefing, EA made it clear that there will be two separate groups of cross-play players: One group will feature PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The other group will include Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is Smash in Everything but Name
It's got Spongebob. It's got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's got Reptar.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is about as close as you're going to get to a Nickelodeon themed Smash Bros. game without actually being a Smash Bros. game. Unlike Smash Bros., which are only ever released on Nintendo platforms, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch in Fall 2021.

Apex Legends Cross-Progression Development Slows Due to Recent Hacks
It's almost like DDoS'ing is a bad thing done by bad people.
Respawn says that due to an influx of cheaters and DDoS attacks occurring in and at Apex Legends, the team has had to change up some development plans for the battle royale title.
Game director Chad Grenier says that work on cross-progression has been slowed down as a result of the team having to deal with hackers of all kinds. Grenier made this little fact known in a response to a tweet that asked him for an... -
