In a piece of in-depth analysis that will have very few of us reeling, tech analyst firm Gartner has revealed that it believes “the sub-$500 entry-level PC segment will disappear by 2028,” based on its latest research. This milestone in the steady rise in the cost of PCs is because of the 130% increase in the combined cost of memory and SSDs, and which will result an overall 17% increase in PC prices compared to 2025. Gartner doesn’t single out AI as the reason for these increased component prices, or at least it doesn’t in the overview of this report,…

Dead by Daylight's creative director would "love to" do more Chapter remakes after All-Kill Comeback
For Dead by Daylight’s 39th Chapter, it’s taking a different approach to any of the 38 that came before it. Well, that’s somewhat true, because it’s the first case of Behaviour Interactive essentially remaking and building upon an old original Chapter, but naturally that involves treading on some previous ground. All-Kill Comeback sees the return of a fan-favorite Chapter with both reworked and totally new content, and the horror game’s creative director, Dave Richard, hints to PCGamesN that it might not be the last time Behaviour reignites some old flames. All-Kill: Comeback revives Dead by Daylight’s 19th Chapter, originally released…
Community movie got "very close" to filming, but one star's schedule caused a delay: "We don't want to do an Arrested Development Netflix season situation"
Community movie co-writer and executive producer Andrew Guest is offering an update on the film’s status, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag for fans. Though Guest confirms the intent to make the Community movie is still in place, an opportunity to start filming the long-awaited spin-off of the fan favorite comedy sitcom passed them by due to unforeseen circumstances.”We got very close to shooting that,” Guest tells The Watch podcast. “As the writer strike and actor strikes were ending, all of our cast were available.

After removing its worst feature, Runescape just upended its entire combat system after only three months of player testing
Back in 2012, the controversial ‘Evolution of Combat’ patch hit the modern iteration of Runescape. Now, just a measly 14 years later, Jagex has just dropped the “combat style modernization” update as part of the game’s Road to Restoration effort, bringing sweeping changes to how you dispatch baddies going forward. A big part of that means an increase to the level cap of every other combat skill to match the 2023 arrival of the Necromancy combat style. Don’t worry, Jagex isn’t coming for your capes. Yet. Yes, after just three months in the hands of avid beta testers (and just…
Microsoft tried to ban the word "Microslop" in its Discord amid criticism of its dive into AI, predictably causing the internet to Microslop even harder
Shortly after appointing former Core AI executive Asha Sharma the new CEO of Xbox, Microsoft set about scrubbing away criticisms brandishing the word “Microslop” like a pitchfork, aimed squarely at the company’s increasingly rabid investment into generative AI, by banning the word from its Copilot Discord server. Microslop, you see, is “inappropriate,” an automatic filter response told users.As Windows Latest first reported, this only redoubled the Microslop barrage, ultimately ending in the Copilot server being locked. At the time of writing, invites to the server are still paused.The internet at large never forgets, and especially in the case of intrusive…
Moon Studios' CEO thinks No Rest for the Wicked could be a "forever game" with the foundations of one that "could rival Hades"
Despite a rocky launch back in 2024, No Rest for the Wicked, the ARPG from the team behind the Ori series of action platformers, has managed quite the comeback with its recent co-op update. Following on from that second wind, the studio’s CEO has taken to Twitter/X to talk shop about what it means for the game and the studio’s future, and there’s talk of bringing the fight to Hades and Elden Ring. Since launching its co-op mode nearly 18 months after Early Access, No Rest for the Wicked has seemingly enjoyed a second coming. The soulslike action RPG launched…
Marathon is the third-best-selling game on Steam after its big server slam, only trailing Resident Evil Requiem and Valve's eternal Counter-Strike
Now that the Marathon server slam has let everyone try out a big, free chunk of Bungie’s sci-fi extraction shooter, the game’s risen to third on the top 10 best-selling games on Steam, at least at the time of writing, which is a pretty good sign.Marathon had already started to climb the Steam sales charts as its March 5 release date approached and marketing ramped up, so the fact that it’s not only holding, but also gaining ground on the top 10 – earlier, it was sitting at fourth, though these rankings fluctuate a lot – suggests a lot of…
Ark modder issues statement after being called "lazy" and "uncreative" for reusing assets from an abandoned game
After being labelled “uncreative” and “cheap,” popular Ark modder and head of mod development at Nitrado, ‘Nekatus’, has issued a statement explaining why they used assets from another game in the latest update of the officially endorsed Ark Survival Ascended DLC, Astraeos. Following the release of the Pyranthos update to Nekatus’ Ark: Survival Ascended Astraeos map, the developer was called out by the community for reusing assets from Atlas, an early access open-world pirate game from the Ark team that hasn’t seen an update in over two years. The issue with the new Astraeos update revolves around the newly added…
