TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. 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...

  • Microsoft Claims Halo is the Star Wars of Video Games, Has That "Special Sauce"

    In an interview with GameSpot, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg made a pretty bold and confusing claim about Halo's status in the world of gaming. Or maybe it was Halo's status in the world of movies? Perhaps it was Halo's status in the world? I'm not really sure what he was going for here.
    Does Halo 5 need to be the best-selling Halo ever? What are your expectations internally? For us, I think in many ways it feels like the most anticipated game of the year. Because Halo is somethin

    Hands-on: Steam Controller General Overview Video

    Last night, I put together a short-ish overview video for using and setting up a Steam Controller. Please note that this is not a review. Official reviews are being kept until at least November 10 when the controller is officially released for everyone. The controller is still receiving regular updates from Valve. In fact, an update came out between when I recorded last night and when I finally got the video uploaded about an hour ago (as of the time of this posting). The video shows off b...

    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...

    Must See: Solo Drum Performance Destroys Destiny Raid Boss Crota

    The community requested it and GladHeAteHer182 (aka: Shadowfax182) delivered in spades. The call went out for someone to beat Crota using nothing but some Rock Band drums. It happened. It was done and yes, there is video proof.

    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,...
