There used to be a time when I’d get a little miffed to read posts of burned-out people leaving an MMORPG I was playing. How dare they betray the game that provided so much enjoyment! But now I get it — it’s almost impossible to play the same game forever without the magic fading and […]

The long-rumored MMORPG under development with Sony and NCsoft based on the former’s Horizon franchise since 2022? It’s real.

2025/11/13

In case the Steam Deck isn’t enough for folks, Valve took yesterday to announce its latest effort to give you a games-only device with the Steam Machine, an itty-bitty potentially teeny-weeny yellow polka dot black box for you to use as a Steam console and machine.
