Half-Life 2 Turns 10 Today
On November 16, 2004 Half-Life 2 was released. Happy birthday to Half-Life 2! Valve curiously makes no mention of this fairly significant occasion. Perhaps it's worse than we thought! Perhaps instead of being able to just count to 3, they've simply forgotten about "Half-Life" entirely! Oh no... All kidding aside, Half-Life 2 is still a great game. You should probably play it if you haven't already. Feel free to share your favorite story about Half-Life 2. Maybe tell everyone ho... -

Valve Talks Scream Fortress 2014 Gifts for Team Fortress 2
Valve put up a new Team Fortress 2 blog post this evening that talks about their plans to make sure everybody has a good time in Scream Fortress 2014.
When gift drops were introduced way back in 2011's Scream Fortress update, they were intended to be a small value-add — a simple bonus for all players participating in the update. As time went on and Halloween updates came and went, however, some players spent more and more time focusing on gifts, often to the detriment of the players... -

Paranautical Activity Pulled from Steam After Developer Threatens to Kill Gabe Newell
Let the following story be a lesson in how not to respond when or if your game ends up on Steam. Mike Maulbeck, the developer behind the game Paranautical Activity threatened to kill Valve's Gabe Newell.
Why?
Because the Steam storefront accidentally listed the game as being on "Early Access" even though it left Early Access and was officially released today. That is literally the only reason that threat was made.

by Shawn ZipayMake up your own definition of "complete."
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...I did not complete any game in 202533.33%2I completed up to 10 games50.00%3I completed more than 10 games16.67%1-
