Have you noticed how many legal actions against Valve are in the works right now? I assume, Gabe found something they don't want the world to know... #Valve@GameDEV #Legal@GameDEV
Fun fact:
Quick refunds were allowed by Valve only in 2015 after Australian government sued them for lack of refunds. Valve initially stated that they are not in Australia and it will not be a problem, then lost the case, got a fine and new refunds policy that... made them times more popular.
Then Europe joined in and sued them over for regionally locked games based on the original purchase location. And they gave up on it as well. Which made Steam even more popular.
So, Valve wasn't that democratic just a few years ago, they got to this spot by accident.

You may not know, but olds remember: Intel once released x3D CPUs and it was ages before AMD. Back then the tech wasn't as good, but I was thinking to get one!
The i7-5775C has 128MB of L4 cache, that heavily improved gaming performance. Basically the same way as x3D on Ryzen. But the issue was the frequency limit — even 4770K could aim higher in some cases and Intel 6000 was already way ahead with old-fashioned L3.

YouTube earned $62 billion in 2025 and still pretend that ad blocking you do kills them. That's more than Disney, Paramount, or Warner Brothers.

Jeff Kaplan, the mastermind behind Overwatch's original success brought us this:
A survival game in Wild West setting but extremely generic look. Each run the map will be generated with unique seed and several points of interest will be scattered across. Let's see how it plays, I still adore Overwatch, so.

Apparently, Jeff quit when Activision Blizzard told him "either the game makes X profits by next quarter or 1000 people will be fired here and it's all because of you". Somehow it was not motivational for anyone.

In his words (thanks chat)
"We gonna fire 1000 people and it will be on you" — literally a nightmare. You can't just quit, you can't go on, and every move is a wrong move.
