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.

    Persona 5 Royal is out now for the PlayStation 4 and only the PlayStation 4. If you haven't already checked out our Persona 5 Royal review, you should do that. If you don't like reading anything at length, I can simplify the review to be: "5 outta 5. Amazing game. Buy now."

    PONG is Becoming an RPG

    Yes, that Pong.

    Atari announced PONG Quest, a new role-playing game that is based off of the classic PONG. If you are wondering just how they can make an RPG out of PONG, you certainly aren't alone. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that this is an April Fools joke, right? I thought so too! I really did. And then I kept reading the press release I was sent. Then I saw the trailer reveal (seen below) and the key art in the press kit. It was only then, after I looked at everything,...

    The problem with being at home all the time like this, is that the network in your home, country, or even globally can be impacted significantly. People have more time now...

    Mike Shapiro, Voice of Half-Life's G-Man, Seems to be Teasing Something

    Shapiro hints that his next project is a "blast from the past."

    Though Valve has just released Half-Life: Alyx, it wasn't exactly the Half-Life game many fans of the series wanted. Sure, it's an absolutely fantastic game but it's not exactly Half-Life 3, you know? Though it took Valve almost 13 years to get any sort of a new Half-Life game released after Half-Life 2: Episode Two, there may actually be something else coming sooner than you may think.
