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.

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...

  • Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Getting Slammed in Steam Reviews After Users Report Deleted Save Files

    Performance woes are another major issue being brought up.

    The Surge 2 Expansion 'The Kraken' Out January 16

    Get ready for more of one of 2019's best action-RPGs.

    Reports Suggest that a New Switch Model is Coming in 2020

    This isn't the first time this rumor has popped up.

    Ever since the Nintendo Switch was released, it seems like we've had a rumor floating around about some "Switch Pro" that Nintendo was getting ready to ship. This rumor always had some varying degree of validity behind it though.

    Last year the rumor suggested that Nintendo was working on a couple new versions of the Switch. Naturally, the rumor again pushed the narrative of a "Switch Pro" being one...
