    Quake Live is No Longer Free - Fans Are Mad

    Quake Live is no longer free. The once F2P shooter went from its own standalone launcher to also being available on Steam to being a Steam only game. Once the final transition came where it was only available on Steam, the free price was dropped in favor of a base $9.99 (USD). In addition, the team at id Software responsible for Quake Live also quietly dropped the subscription service, seemingly without advanced notice to those with active subscriptions. On top of all of that, they reset every...

    For those unaware, Crota is the final boss in the Crota's End raid from The Taken King content for Destiny. He was capable of being solo'd before and it was made even easier once The Taken King came out and made everyone even more powerful. However,...
