TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

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

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

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.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    Paradise Lost Teaser Trailer Released

    A new trailer for the upcoming mystery adventure.

    Check out a new teaser trailer for Paradise Lost, an upcoming mystery adventure that tells the story of a 12 year old boy that finds a Nazi bunker while roaming through the post-nuclear Polish wasteland. I somehow doubt this one is going to be one of those "feel good" types of games.

    Paradise Lost is out on PC in 2020. Console releases are still to be announced (TBA). ...

    Denuvo Anti-Cheat Getting Removed from DOOM Eternal in Next Update

    Consider this a horribly failed experiment.

    id Software executive producer Marty Stratton took to Reddit to announce that the much detested Denuvo Anti-Cheat will be removed in the next update for DOOM Eternal. For those who are not aware, the previous update for DOOM Eternal added in the third-party anti-cheat to the game.

    Much like the anti-cheat used in Valorant, the Denuvo Anti-Cheat operates with elevated permissions at ring 0, or at the kernel level of a system....

    What is Desperados?

    Besides being what is called a "video game," you may be wondering, "just what is Desperados III?" Well thankfully, THQ Nordic realized that maybe not everyone is up on what this upcoming title may be. We know that it's a "real-time tactical stealth game," but that's certainly a confusing mouthful. A new trailer that was released May 20th aims to shed some light on Desperados and will perhaps get you interested ahead of the game's June...
