A Steam user on Christmas Eve had a question: How do you earn just one measly little Steam Point? They were at 68,999 points and wanted to hit 69,000 because, you know, it’s a nice number and all that. However, because of how Steam Points are earned, t...

Despite all this, we didn’t have a definitive answer as to what The Day Before’s future was. Servers remained on and Fntastic stated the […]

Following the groundbreaking victory obtained in the Epic v. Google trial, founder and CEO Tim Sweeney was interviewed by The Verge on various topics, including the Epic Games Store.

When asked whether it would be just a game store or a more generic app store, Sweeney was clear: The Epic Games Store isn’t a games store, right? It’s the store operated by Epic Games. So we have a lot of non-games there already. We have […]
The drama-filled saga behind one of Steam’s most-anticipated games of 2023 just took its weirdest turn yet. The Day Before maker Fntastic announced it will cease operations less than a week after accusations of swindling players with a massive bait-and...
