Reddit user ExplorEverythingOnce states Valve refunded the full $109.24 (roughly £81) that they paid for the game’s Phantom Edition, despite roughly 470 hours logged – more than 230 times Steam’s usual cutoff. Rush disappeared without warning earlier this week as part of patch 1.4.1.5, buried among a batch of otherwise minor fixes. It’s still ostensibly
Quake: Dawn of the Machine, as it’s called, comes with a full 19-map campaign, a new soundtrack, and a new deathmatch map. The expansion is a collaboration between id Software and recent Wolfenstein developer – and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle developer – MachineGames.

What was previously reported by EA in its recent quarterly report was a combination of salary, bonus payments, and earned stock. This figure in Wilson’s case came in at around $39m in total, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at. However, it looks as though the real figure could be much higher. As pointed out

"I’m happy to put a timeline on it." “With the advent of streaming – which we really do believe is around the corner in terms of having something that’s low latency, and really works well for consumers – machines that weren’t game machines before will become game machines,” Zeldnick said during Take-Two’s quarterly earnings call
"We are very proud of our labour relations." The issue has been gathering steam in and around Rockstar since 31 people were fired at Rockstar North in Edinburgh – all coincidentally members of the IWGB Game Workers Union – for “gross misconduct”. Since then, an employment tribunal battle has raged between the IWGB Game Workers
Baldur’s Gate 3 is known for being, well, smutty—so much so that when the game first came out, we were in fierce, rigorous, masterful debates over it (stop giggling). The game has a lot of sensual scenes, but it also comes with a streamer-friendly mode to cover up all the jiblets and tatas. A streamer-friendly
After years of speculation, after reams of fan theories and screenshot analysis, we’ll be finally getting a full look at Grand Theft Auto 6 on… hold on, Netflix? Really? Right, okay, sure. This news comes courtesy of the site itself, which has a preview page that reads: “Coming August 27: See an extended look at
Black Ops 2 was far and away the biggest of the two, selling 8.2 million copies, leaving just 3 million to Black Ops 1. Even before we had hard figures to compare, it’s clear players have been talking about Black Ops 2 the most on Reddit and social media. As for the split between console
