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.

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...

  • Apple Pulls All Games with a Confederate Flag from App Store

    Apple Pulls All Games with a Confederate Flag from App Store

    Apple has pulled all games from the App Store that have the confederate flag in them because they include "images of the Confederate flag used in offensive and mean-spirited ways." While there is certainly good reason for places to stop selling that flag and there is certainly a great argument to be made for taking down the flag from government buildings, it seems a bit of a stretch to remove all historically based games from the App Store. Andrew from HexWar Games issued a statement to ...

  • Nvidia Accused of Deceiving Consumers with Artificially Sped Up 60FPS Batman: Arkham Knight Promo Video

    Prior to the game's release, Nvidia cut a couple of GameWorks promotional videos for Batman: Arkham Knight. Interestingly, those videos were presented at 60FPS. Unfortunately, the actual game doesn't run at 60FPS without an INI tweak. Even worse is that the game doesn't reliably run at 60FPS even with the INI tweak.

    A YouTube user, PoweredByFlow, is credited with discovering the following, which was then passed along to a wider audience via Sajius460 on Reddit. The claim...
