Yea, unless you have an irrational faith in Microsoft and Win 8 you really might want to do some legwork on your current titles and any you might want to get down the road. http://www.pcgamesn.com/microsoft-set-close-games-windows-live-pc-marketplace When the Marketplace shuts down, there will be no... |

NVIDIA probably should of unannounced this. Trivia question territory. |

Seems like most modern fighting games have inherent issues with "zooming in". Or growth hormone usage is rampant.
Maybe the next DOA will crop off the heads. |

I was thinking more about the fate of Kickstarted games outside of DF's at this point. They seem to have stepped in it even though their name has mostly shielded them from most of the criticisms. Although if they don't make enough off of the Steam early access sales maybe they will rate a new adject... |

They are going to try and sell early access to the first half of the game on Steam to pa... |

It's only available for sale on Steam and there are rumors it will be pulled from there too. Sounds like the whole EE thing may get KOed. |

I wouldn't put much stock in the game sharing thing. If it comes about it would be horribly limited to prevent reselling. Also Valve has existing license agreements with everyone that already sells on Steam. EA and Ubisoft require Origin and Uplay but are going to allow their Steam games to be share... |

LLotR already supports widescreen but multimon has cropped cutscenes. IIRC there is a game option to force an aspect ratio or get it automatically from the resolution. If you are getting stretching after choosing your correct aspect ratio option then there is a good chance your graphics drivers are ... |

The more I think about this the more odd it is. The licensing fees from the big third-party publishers are the main revenue source for the non-Nintendo consoles. Was told by an EA developer less than a year ago how season pass was basically mandatory. Now it is gone. No way in hell that are walking ... |
