The CEO of Saber Interactive has some pretty damning words to say about 2022's poorly-received Saints Row reboot, and its developer Volition.

Palworld developer Pocketpair has discussed the moment it discovered Nintendo had launched legal action against its Pokémon-style game.

Global community manager speaks out. Although many had previously commented on the similarities between Palworld and Pokémon, it was nevertheless a huge surprise when Nintendo announced its patent lawsuit against developer Pocketpair.

In speaking at a GDC 2025 talk in San Francisco (thanks, PC Gamer), John Buckley commented on the overall atmosphere at Pocketpair following Nintendo's ann...

So far the oldest game binary I have launched has been the original Linux port of Doom. This brought me back to 1994, both the year I was born and the year that the Linux kernel reached its milestone 1.0 release. Browsing an old SunSITE archive I came across the jetpack-linux.tar.z tarball, which contained an unusual X11 game built and packaged in June 1993.

The use of third-party assistant tools and overlays in multiplayer PC games is a contentious topic. Giving you personalized views of match data, providing pick rate stats for characters, or tracking your stats over time, they can be useful aids, but they can often give unfair advantages. Many multiplayer games have outlawed them and labeled them as forms of cheating - Marvel Rivals is the most recent example with Netease banning their use despite their popularity. The hero shooter’s main rival O...
