Grim Dawn's gigantic final expansion will be out in July

Fangs of Asterkarn was already shaping up to be Grim Dawn's biggest expansion last time I wrote about it, with designer Kamil 'Zantai' Marczewski boasting it would have "54 new bosses" and "cover approximately 3.55sq. km, which makes it roughly 110% as big as Ashes of Malmouth." That had grown to "up to 170% as big" wh...

'90s Doom rival Witchaven is being pulled from Steam soon, but it's under $1 if you're quick

Doom and Quake were the heavy hitters among '90s FPS games, although I'm sure most know the likes of Duke Nukem 3D as well. Aficionados will remember other names: Heretic, Hexen, Blood, and so on.

Someone is trying to use lost property 'finder' laws to gain legal ownership of 39,069 Bitcoin wallets, with just one of them being worth nearly $6,000,000,000

Sometimes someone does something that makes you think, 'Why the hell had no one tried this before?' That's the question that crossed my mind when I learned about 'Noah Doe', a (presumably) placeholder name for a man who is trying to get the New York courts to officially recognise him (and the other plantiff companies)...

Paralives received 'over 100,000 bug reports' in less than a week, as its creator reminds us that life sims are really hard to make

There's a reason that we're in 2026 and still see so few life sims on the market: they're incredibly freakin' hard to make. That's not just me spouting my opinion, it's something that the developers behind games like The Sims, Inzoi, and prematurely cancelled Life by You have said in the past. There are so many moving...

A Google engineer who allegedly made over $1,000,000 after predicting 2025's most-searched person has now been arrested for insider trading

As much as I enjoy a gacha pull as a little treat, I'm not overly jazzed about how inescapable gambling mechanics have become in gamesโ€”or anywhere else, for that matter. So-called prediction markets are also becoming increasingly popular, and one Google engineer has been arrested for allegedly leveraging insider inform...
