Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

  • Xbox One to Receive Separate Battlefield: Hardline Beta

    Xbox One to Receive Separate Battlefield: Hardline Beta

    Right now, the beta for Battlefield: Hardline is limited to PC and PlayStation 4 owners. That means that Xbox One owners are left out in the cold when it comes to experiencing the extreme thrills that the beta brings with it. Cry no more, Xbox One owners, because you will apparently get a beta that is quite different from what everyone else is presently enjoying the hell out of.
    "We will have a beta on on all platforms before release," DICE's General Manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson

  • Euro Truck Simulator 2 Developer Given 1-Year Ban from Steam for Showcasing a Community Exploit That He Repeatedly Told Valve About

    Valve dished out a 52-week long ban on Thomas Duda, a developer with SCS Software, the studio behind the Euro Truck Simulator series. His ban came after Duda showed off a security exploit in Valve's own Steam Community that would allow for scripts to be run without issue. He showcased the vulnerability by making the screen shake and play the Harlem Shake. Valve banned him shortly after for "violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement." The issue here is that according to Duda, he...

  • Ubisoft Caught Hiding E3 2012 Graphical Options in Watch Dogs PC - This Mod Restores Those Settings

    Remember when the Internet was busy raising a stink over the "downgrade" that happened to Watch Dogs? Oh, it was a mess.

Turns out that the downgrade people weren't really all that wrong in their complaints. Earlier today, it was discovered that Ubisoft actually left in old files that brings the game to look almost identical to what was shown off f...
