Mike Ybarra’s at it again. The former Blizzard president loves nothing more than popping off on social media, and this time he’s taken aim at the developers currently working on World of Warcraft. After detailing his ideas for the game’s direction, including making WoW 2 (that worked out great for Overwatch) and adding more Lich King lore, he’s stated that the original game was so successful because the developers were “dedicated” and that you need to “give [your job] a lot of your life” in order to make a great MMORPG or expansion. I’ll be honest, Ybarra is really going…
Valve is still developing the successor to the Steam Deck, while also trying to overcome stock shortages for the original.That’s according to Valve programmer Pierre-Loup Griffais, who told IGN in a new interview that work on the Steam Deck 2 is continuing.“We’re hard at work on it,” Griffais said, stating that when Steam Deck 2 does eventually release it will be a natural progression of the other Steam hardware released before it.“Obviously every step of the way, if you look at our harder projects over the years, you can draw a straight line from original Steam Controller and Steam Machines…
Commodore just announced the C64C Ultimate, a remake of the 1986 microcomputer that looks more like an Amiga. Yes, that does mean that upon seeing the latest FPGA remake, my heart skipped at the thought of a proper re-do of the more advanced “PC”, but seeing as the C64C originally lasted well into the ’90s, I can see why it’s next in line.The good news is that while the C64C is technically the same Commodore 64 Ultimate guts hiding in a different shell, it’s practically getting the same case produced back in the 1980s. Rather than making a copy, the…
Magic: The Gathering Arena developers at Wizards of the Coast are set to unionise with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). The CWA say they’ve secured a “supermajority” in favour of unionisation among the workers, and have given Wizards of the Coast until the end of the week to voluntarily recognise the union – dubbed United Wizards of the Coast—CWA – and filed an election petition with the US National Labor Relations Board.
The latest Arc Raiders update is a hefty one: a new map, an ominous-looking Arc threat, and more collectible trinkets than you can shake a sun lounger at. The last location we were treated to was Stella Montis, which, as many of you will already know, can be an absolute nightmare in the multiplayer game – cramped spaces filled with Raiders that have a taste for blood. I’m not quite sure what breeds aggression in those who love Stella, but every time I venture into the veritable maze that is the old facility, it ends up in a bloodbath (usually…

A dev behind the canceled The Last of Us Online game says it was the best multiplayer game he had ever played, and he strives to never let a project die again.The director of The Last of Us Online – which was originally going to be a part of The Last of Us Part 2 as Factions mode – Vinit Agarwal recently took to Twitter (spotted by PC Gamer), saying that “it’s wild how many of my ex-colleagues still message me today saying how amazing TLOU Online was going to be,” and that they think it’s “still the best multiplayer…
Logitech has just announced its first gaming keyboard that can hot swap between analog TMR switches and conventional mechanical switches. Called the Logitech G512 X, it allows you to get all the features of an analog keyboard while also being able to swap keyswitches out to use your preferred mechanical switch for typing. If, like me, you value the gaming potential of analog but don’t want to give up on the feel of tactile switches or the sonic feedback of clicky switches when typing, this combination has the potential to make for one of the best gaming keyboard options around.…
My favorite console is starting to feel like home again. Two months since Asha Sharma took over as CEO, Microsoft Gaming as we knew it under Phil Spencer is no more. Xbox is back, as the new branding seen in a recent blogpost tells us, and with it comes promising rumblings.Last year’s extreme Game Pass Ultimate price hike has been rolled back, bringing the monthly charge down from $29.99US to a more reasonable $22.99 at the cost of day-one Call of Duty games. It’s a sigh of relief for anyone like me who had no choice but to drop a…
The Postal series is infamous for being riddled with bugs, and gross humor that makes South Park look tame. While critically it scores poorly, developer Running with Scissors wears that pee-covered badge with pride. Postal: Brain Damaged gives the series a new spin, with a different development team in control, and this Quake/Doom-style take isn’t just good – it’s an absolutely essential FPS game for your Steam library. Don’t believe me? Well, it’s just $1 / £1 right now, so you don’t really have an excuse. Postal 2 is a classic, in a weird way, while the sequel – Postal…
