This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

Team Fortress 2 Receives Substantial Exploit Fix Update
No, this update doesn't directly tackle the bot problem.
An update for Team Fortress 2 was released last night for the 15-year-old game. While this update does not tackle the game's horrific bot problem directly, it does fix a number of bugs and exploits. It's one of the larger patches released for the game in quite some time now.
The update fixes some exploits related to being able to use sv_cheats on secure servers. That seems like a pretty important thing to fix. It...

We already knew about the supply shortages of things like CPUs, GPUs, and consoles over the past couple of years, but here's one thing you probably didn't think about being impacted: Controllers. Due to "supply disruptions" Xbox controllers are also in short supply with many major retailers being completely sold out for all of June.
A bunch of other things now want to eat you in addition to the sharks.
The long-awaited version 1.0 release of Raft hit today, marking the game's departure from Steam Early Access to just Steam... access? It's a released game now is what I'm saying. I mean, it's not an Early Access release anymore, if that's what you were waiting on. It is now a fully realized game with fully realized content.
This open-world survival game that used to just focus on you surviving on a...
This comes right after Blizzard's Chinese social media account was banned.

Ready or Not Delisted on Steam (Update: Back on Steam)
Developer says it's a Steam issue, but there may be something more going on.

Did Keighley's summer game jamboree 2022 impress you?
With the Summer Game Fest 2022 essentially being over (save for some Multiversus thing on the 21st), it's time to ask you: What'd you think of it?
Did the announcements and reveals exceed your expectations? Or did the reveals drastically under-deliver this year? Maybe what was shown off completely matched your expectations, be they high or low expectations to begin with. Hell, maybe you just want the old E3 back with...
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
