Counter-Strike Update for December 9 Still Didn't Nerf the R8 Revolver
Those looking for a nerf or adjustment for the recently added R8 Revolver to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive can probably just go back to your corners to continue moping. Tonight's update actually introduces an interesting new issue with the gun while fixing a few other issues with the game. The gun actually now costs just $700. However, the price for the gun in game still shows $850. Even more interesting is the fact that you need to have $850 on hand to purchase the gun, but upon purchasing it, it only takes away $700. Oh gosh, surely this won't enrage people even more! I'm sure everything will work out just fine for the R8 in the next dozen or so updates to the game. Of course,... -

Valve Issues Statement Regarding Steam Security and Trading
Today is the day that the three day hold on trades goes into effect for non-Authenticator users. To go along with today's big change to trading, Valve issued a rather comprehensive statement on why this new policy is going into effect and why account security is so important.
Honestly, it was difficult to pick out any one item to single out from their statement. Below is their entire statement in full.
Compromised accounts and item theft Account theft has been around since Steam began, but with the introduction of Steam Trading, the problem has increased twenty-fold as the number one complaint from our users. Having your account stolen, and your items traded away, is a terrible experience, and we hated that it was becoming more common for our customers. Once an account was compromised, the items would be quickly cleaned out. They'd then... -

Fans Outraged Over Latest CS:GO Update that Introduced a New Gun, Kill Cam, and More
Last night, an update came out for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This wasn't any run of the mill update either, this was a big hefty update that introduced a new weapon, a kill cam, a change in the C4 and round timers, and a bunch of other stuff. Needless to say, fans are upset. The initial burst of outrage came from the usual suspects when it comes to boo-hoo'ing over changes made to the game: The Counter-Strike "pros." They were upset that they might have to do what professionals in other fields do and adjust their game plans a bit due to the changes in the round and C4 timers. Of course, the real star of the show when it comes to complaints from everyone, not just pros, is the R8 Revolver. Everybody has an opinion about it and they sure as hell are going to make sure their opinions are heard and seen far and wide, from the Fields of YouTube to the Reddit Sea. The new R8 Revolver is apparently an AWP that you can hold in the palm of your hand. Most shot... -
Sony Using 50Hz PAL Versions of PlayStation 2 Games on PlayStation 4
Sony is apparently trying to remain incredibly faithful to the original PlayStation 2 releases of the games they recently put on the PlayStation 4. In the UK, the emulated PS2 releases are again running at 50Hz and converted to a 60Hz output. This creates some weird frame-blending effects that look bad to the player and result in "frame-pacing issues" that resemble micro-stutters or hitching when the framerate is actually perfectly fine. It's quite easy to see the effect in the video below.
Digital Foundry noticed this in a number of games they recently tested.
UPDATE 8/12/15 4:52pm: We've been looking at more... -
