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...

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...

    A new trailer for SOMA was released today by Frictional Games (Amnesia, Penumbra). In this trailer, we get to take a look at some of the game's environments that are totally not at all creepy and spooky. Nope, not one bit.

    First Major Hollywood Films Come to Steam Starting with Mad Max

    Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior mark the first major Hollywood films to appear on Steam. Fury Road is simply a pre-order while the other two films can be streamed right now. Yes, streamed. There is no option to download the films locally. People are already up in arms because they feel the prices seem a bit too steep for a streaming only service, with the original Mad Max films going for $14.99 (USD) and Fury Road going for $19.99.

    Madden NFL 16 Review

    MUCH MORE THAN JUST A ROSTER UPDATE

    When people look at a yearly franchise like Madden NFL, they think that it’s merely a $60 roster update layered on top of the same, old game. While this really hasn’t held true now for the past few years, people will still hop on social media or forums and shout that cliché until they’re blue in the face. That or they’ll smugly entertain themselves by saying how “NFL 2K5 is still the best football game ever...
