Grand Theft Auto VI is possibly one of THE most anticipated games of the year… well, was, until it was revealed to release in 2026. 05/26/26

Another round of Half-Life 3 rumors springing up just as we got news of GTA VI.

Is Valve the Bad Guy now? - Classic Offensive

Submitter: Hi-Tech

Valve has requested Classic Offensive not be released. For those who don’t know, Classic Offensive is a more classic CS experience based on CSGO assets. It was initially slated for release (for free) and greenlit on Steam. The problem then became Valve ghosting the developers when they asked questions about licensing and eventually releasing the game. But then VERY recently, Valve asked them to shut it down. It’s a very Nintendo move if I’ve ever seen one. It’s a perceived threat to their digital hegemony in CSGO / CS2 because it’s Counter Strike without all of the lootboxes.

JRPG Developers Prop Each Other Up

Submitter: Hi-Tech

Clair Obscur has been a HUGE hit, making waves for western developed JRPGs and one of the highest rated games of the year, both reviewers and user scores. One other game that came out and potentially broke the record for the most writing/dialogue in a JRPG is The Hundred Line. Both JRPG devs have propped each other up and recommended each other after finishing one. A rare positive story in gaming.
