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...

  • Rumor: Destiny's Next Expansion Called 'The Taken King'

    Rumor: Destiny's Next Expansion Called 'The Taken King'

    A new promotion from Red Bull may have accidentally let slip the name of the next expansion in the works for Destiny. The promo shows off a means to get "bonus XP" for something called Destiny: The Taken King. It also makes mention of a Flamesword, which could potentially be a new weapon or game mechanic for the expansion.



    The images originally came from Agrios Endendros via Twitter (2). The expansion is still probably quite a ways off, however. The newest...

    Geoff Keighley Hosting YouTube Live at E3

    Geoff Keighley is slated to be the host for YouTube Live at E3. Starting June 14, you can get your fill of Keighley during the duration of E3.

    I was largely a fan of what Keighley did with The Game Awards 2014, so I have high expectations for what he'll do with this. He's at his best when he's not constrained by a lot of red tape.

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
