Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

  • Nintendo Delays 64GB Switch Game Cards Until 2019

    Nintendo Delays 64GB Switch Game Cards Until 2019

    At present, the physical game cards for Switch titles can only reach sizes of 32GB. That's not all that great for games that can easily be nearer to double that size. Meaning that even if you purchase the physical release, you may still be stuck with a huge download when you go to play. Nintendo originally planned to switch over to 64GB cards in the second half of 2018. It now looks like that plan has shifted until some time in 2019. Nintendo informed developers of this delay quite recently. T...

    SEGA to Charge Players for Super Sonic DLC in January

    Super Sonic has been a staple of the Sonic games since the Genesis days.
