Counter-Strike 2 is Out Now

Counter-Strike is dead, long live Counter-Strike!

Without a press release in sight, Valve has launched Counter-Strike 2 to the world.

True to Valve tradition, today's release is actually a little bit later than initially expected. During its initial announcement in March, Valve said Counter-Strike 2 would be out in summer. It is now fall, but they only missed...

Volition is Shutting Down Effective Immediately

After 30 years, the studio is being shut down.

    Humble Bundle Acquired by IGN

    IGN announced today that they have acquired Humble Bundle. Talk about out of left field, eh?

    Humble, as you may not know, often sells "bundles" of games for a pay-what-you-want price. Obviously, the more you play the more you will get on most bundles. Humble also expanded to publishing games, running a game subscription service, and they operate a more traditional online storefront like Steam or GOG. IGN says that this acquisition will allow Humble to continue operating i...

    ESRB Doesn't See Loot Boxes as a Form of Gambling

    Loot boxes. We all know them, we all have a love-hate relationship with them. They're those things where you can spend currency to purchase boxes that contain "random" loot drops that range from cosmetics to gameplay altering gear. More often than not, these loot boxes can be purchased using real world currency. A lot of people feel as though this is a form of gambling.

    While it seems obvious that loot boxes are indeed a form of gambling, the ESRB doesn't seem to agree. K...

    PUBG Surpasses 2 Million Concurrent Players

    Yo, Fortnite, it's good and all that you hit 10 million non-current players on a F2P game that is out on four separate platforms, but PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has hit 2 million concurrent players on just one platform (PC).

    Spawned as an offshoot of Fortnite and launched on September 26, 2017, Fortnite Battle Royale has already surpassed 10 million players. This free-to-play battle royale style game seems to have been a pretty safe bet for the team at Epic Games.

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...
    I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
