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.

  • Correction: The Elder Scrolls Online Will NOT Use One-Time Activation Codes on Consoles

    Yesterday, we reported that the console versions of The Elder Scrolls Online would make use of one-time activation keys and would thus eliminate the possibility for trading the game in or renting it. This was based off of a posting on the official forums from a ZeniMax representative.

  • Kickstarter Pulls Fraudulent Donation from 2Awesome Studio's Dimension Drive Campaign

    With just 30 minutes remaining on Dimension Drive's Kickstarter campaign, spirits were high at 2Awesome Studio following a €7,000 pledge that put them over their €30,000 goal. Kickstarter usually has safeguards in place that prevents creators from not making their goal if people decide to pull out with less than 24 hours remaining on the campaign. So, what happened here? Kickstarter themselves pulled the €7,000 pledge claiming that it was made with a stolen credit card. That €7,000 in...

    Nintendo Schedules E3 Event at the Same Time as Square Enix

    Last month, Square Enix announced that they would hold their E3 2015 press conference on June 16 at 9AM. That has traditionally been the same time that Nintendo holds their own E3 conferences, at least if recent history is anything to go on. As expected, Nintendo didn't seem to let it bother them too much as they announced today that they would keep with tradition and hold their E3 conference at 9AM on June 16. Of course, Nintendo's event is a bit different as they are again expected to have an ...
