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...

  • Insomniac Reveals New PAX East Trailer for Stormland

    Insomniac Reveals New PAX East Trailer for Stormland


    A new trailer surfaced today ahead of PAX East 2019 for the Insomniac Games developed VR title, Stormland.

    Stormland is currently only in development for the Oculus Rift. The chances of it being released for other platforms, like the Vive or PlayStation VR are pretty slim since it's being published by Oculus Studios. Of course, it's not particularly difficult to get Rift "exclusive" games working on the Vive thanks to Revive, so maybe that's a moot point.

    The full reveal for Borderlands 3 isn't for another, oh, roughly 25 hours from now, but that doesn't mean we can't have a teaser video today, right? Earlier today, a trailer went up for Borderlands that makes a point of saying that "Mayhem is coming!"

    Specifically, it seems as though Mayhem is a mask. Hence the title of this teaser is "Mask of Mayhem." In the trailer we get a good look at some of the characters you will be fighting as and against. A recent...

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
