Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Valve is still actively working on Steam clip recording, according to SteamDB creator and dataminer Pavel Djundik. That's what Djundik wrote on X some hours ago. Apparently, the Steam feature will allow users to share clips via the Steam community in a similar fashion as screenshots. Steam users can already take in-game screenshots by pressing the F12 key in games that run the Steam Overlay. Players can then share these screenshots with a player's Steam community. In addition, players can share the shots on social media. This feature was made available back in 2011 after a short beta period. Currently, […]
Last week details emerged that a new hero shooter from Valve, entitled Deadlock, had secretly entered alpha testing. Needless to say, a new shooter from Valve is a pretty big deal, and there’s no way those alpha testers aren’t going to keep on leaking things. Case in point, a short clip of the game in action is now in the wild – Valve is trying to pull the footage down, but for now, it’s available here. As we’ve heard previously, Deadlock is a 6v6 team-based hero shooter, with a little bit of MOBA flavor mixed in as the game’s maps […]
According to several credible reports, Valve is developing a new game called Deadlock. Leaked screenshots from the ongoing Closed Alpha playtest have even been shared on Twitter/X by content creator Gabe Follower. From the looks of it, Deadlock is a third-person hero shooter that draws inspiration from the likes of Overwatch, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Valorant, and others. Valve reporter Tyler McVicker added that it has been in development since 2018 under the codename Citadel. Matches are a 6v6 affair set on a large map with four lanes. Each lane has a so-called transit line that players can use […]
Are you playing Another Crab’s Treasure and wondering which shell is the best one? They all have their utilities, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all shell, but Another Crab’s Treasure does have one that comes pretty damn close, and you can unlock it re...
The venerable hero shooter Team Fortress 2 has been around for a very, very long time (coming up on 17 years) but that doesn’t mean Valve isn’t still showing the game a bit of love. Case in point, Valve just dropped an update that finally adds 64-bit support for Team Fortress 2. No, believe it or not, that was not a thing until now. In addition to dragging TF2 kicking and screaming into the modern day, the jump to 64-bit should result in improved performance. Whether it has any real effect on other issues facing the game, like bots, remains […]
The nearly $700 Limited Edition Steam Deck OLED was released in November 2023 and came with all the improvements found in the normal OLED Deck, but also sported a translucent plastic shell. But this pricier, limited variant seems to be cracking due to ...
Steam Family Sharing has long been one of the handier features of Valve’s platform, although it’s always had a few limitations. Family Sharing lets you share your library with another Steam users, but only one person could access said library at once, regardless of what specific game you were playing. That could start to be a bit of a headache, particularly if you had a lot of people in your “family.” Well, Valve is rolling out some changes to Family Sharing, which they’re rebranding simply “Steam Families.” The big positive change is that you and other family members can now […]
According to new data, it appears that Valve likely made about $1 billion from digital Counter-Strike 2 (previously Global Offensive) cases and keys in 2023. Yes, that’s billion with a “B.” Read more...
