Last year, following toxic workplace and sexual harassment allegations against Activision Blizzard, many of which mirrored stories we’d already heard about Ubisoft, an open letter written by the “A Better Ubisoft” collective and signed by over 500 current and former employees of the company was released. The letter called for concrete action from Ubisoft management, listing a series of demands, none of which were outrageous or unrealistic. These demands were…...

Valve confirmed this through a Steam Deck booklet introducing the console, Valve, and Steam to new markets across Asia. The booklet dives deep into certain tidbits of information, such as the fact that SteamOS will be getting a generic installer so that anyone can install the latest SteamOS available from the Steam Deck on their PC. However, the more important part of the booklet concerns the upcoming next-gen versions of the Steam Deck....

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters may initially appear a fairly typical tactical RPG, albeit with more cinematic attacks and moments than fans of the genre may be used to, but Complex Games has made a number of smart tweaks to the formula. A “precision targeting system” allows you to see exactly how much damage you can do from various vantage points, and you can destroy cover and objects in the environment to gain an advantage on the enemy....

As somebody who’s reviewed the annual WWE games for years, and often been harshly critical about their in-ring action, consider me… cautiously optimistic. The animations in the Mysterio vs. Priest match are still a little over-elaborate, but overall the action does seem to be faster and more responsive. Perhaps most importantly, Visual Concepts is introducing new ways to turn the tide of the match. My number one complaint about the WWE 2K games has long been that the only real way to get control from your opponent is to pull off difficult-to-time reversals, but WWE 2K22 adds a whole host of new options, including blocks, dodges, and “breakers....

Speaking to the Washington Post, Xbox boss (and future leader of Activision Blizzard) Phil Spencer talked about the possibilities he was most excited about, and he didn’t mention Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, or Diablo. Per Spencer, he’d like to give Acti-Blizz’s many studios an opportunity to delve into the company’s large catalog of beloved IP, specifically mentioning King’s Quest, Guitar Hero, and… Hexen? It makes sense for Spencer to try to diversify....

Amidst the uproar in wall Street for the Federal Reserve’s hawkish monetary policies, Ark Investment’s head Ms. Cathie Wood has penned an open letter to the bank asking it to reconsider its existing policy. Ms. Wood has been a part of a growing list of hedge fund and investment firm heads that have openly criticized the Fed’s purported war against inflation, and in her letter, she urges the organization to consider the facts that upstream prices have already started to fall and that causing the global economy pain simply due to high food and energy inflation is unwarranted....

In case you’re not familiar with the game, Miles Morales was released as a PlayStation 5 launch title (although it is a cross-gen game, so it’s also available on PlayStation 4), making it roughly two years old at this point in time. It also launched two years after the original game and brings with it some slight improvements across the board while keeping the same extremely solid formula. Our Kai Powell even said in his review (scored 8....

Elsewhere in the interview, though, Phil Spencer noted that the Microsoft Gaming business could very well become untenable in the long term without expanding into the mobile market, which is a key factor in the $69 billion deal to purchase Activision Blizzard. In terms of the Activision opportunity — I keep saying this over and over, and it is true — it definitely starts with a view that people want to play games on every device that they have....

Recent cryptocurrency flux creates prospects for gamers to buy Graphics Cards cheaper from defeated miners at low prices, causing strain on the GPU marketplace Tom’s Hardware points out that the marketplace between retail establishments and used markets like eBay is beginning to crash, similar to what was seen in 2018. While we still do not know how this will affect the marketplace long-term, a large influx of crypto miners are panicking and worried about the future of digital currency....

Not just any RTX 3080, but one with a 130W power limit, which pretty much guarantees a high framerate experience, even in the most demanding of games. As for the exterior, the 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz is enclosed in a metal frame, while other parts of the laptop are covered in plastic, making it a solid chassis. Regardless, it is still a well-built machine, but also bulky, thanks to the amount of cooling required to dissipate the heat generated by the powerful components....
