Some UK gamers are contacting ‘Steam You Owe Us’ to opt out of its class-action lawsuit: ‘Because of Valve, I have more options’

Image
Steam You Owe Us, a partnership between Vicki Shotbolt and the Milberg London LLP law firm, is aiming to bring a class-action lawsuit to UK courts alleging Valve "overcharged" some 14 million UK gamers, totalling over $890 million in due compensation. Not everyone is convinced of the group's goals, however, and they don't want anything to do with it despite its posing as a representative of all UK Steam users. "I emailed them to exclude me from the lawsuit," one UK resident wrote on Reddit , sharing the email they sent to Steam You Owe Us where they'd outlined their desire not "to be included" or "represented by it." They highlighted their positive experiences with Steam over the years, as well as that they're "comfortable with how the platform operates," asking confirmation that they were, indeed, taken out of the equation. https://ift.tt/mNARiQ2 Due to how things work in the UK, you have to opt out of class-acti...

Highguard’s second update in as many days brings much-needed optimization, teases 5-vs-5 mode

Image
It's no secret Highguard faces an uphill battle after a debut marred with disappointment after a lackluster Game Awards trailer, but the devs at Wildlight Entertainment are up to the task. After debuting on Monday to a lukewarm reception along with review-bombing due to performance issues on PC and other gripes, Highguard now holds a "Mixed" review rating on Steam when it comes to English reviews. The game's first post-launch update yesterday added some nice quality-of-life changes like FOV options on console, and now a new update for the free-to-play raid shooter just went live and is available now on both console and PC. This Friday update includes some optimization for performance problems on PC, and some other interesting additions. Check out everything we know about the update below. Highguard patch notes today - Jan. 30 Imaga via Wildlight Entertainment Patch notes are incoming, but one of the main changes on console is that there are options for Mot...

All Cairn PC and console controls

Image
Cairn is out on PC and consoles, and the first task for you is to master the controls. The ascent to the top of the mountain isn't going to be easy. You can choose to do so with your PC keyboard and mouse, or you can use a controller. If you're on the PS5, there's no option to use a keyboard and mouse. Let's look at all the default controls that you'll want to add to your muscle memory.

International devs are reportedly withdrawing from GDC amid ICE and safety fears. But the event’s organizer says turnout looks good

Image
The Game Developers Conference, an annual event where game developers from all over the world come to show off new technologies, ideas, and other gaming-related goodies, is reportedly bringing in lower numbers this year amid rising costs and fears of the current safety environment in the US amid heightened ICE activities. "Far fewer staff" are coming to the 2026 GDC, "a multitude of senior industry figures" told Mobilegamer.biz on Jan. 29. "Concerns over US immigration, safety and costs" are the primary reasons, with developers from "large, mid-sized and smaller game companies" voicing particular worries over the current situation with ICE in the United States. The GDC is one of the main game developer events of the year. Image via GDC According to Mobilegamer.biz, Netspeak Games chief executive Callum Cooper-Brighting said the company's "immediate sense of woke" and support for LGBTQ+ communities is something he doesn't...

Highguard just dropped its first post-launch update, and the patch notes include some heavily-requested changes

Image
There's no doubting that Highguard got off to a rough start in its release into the free-to-play shooter world, but Wildlight Entertainment is already hard at work on bringing the game up to snuff. Highguard's first post-launch update is now live, including some fixes for some top complaints that players have had in the three days since the game released into the wild. With the discussion around it being mostly negative, Highguard has an uphill battle to try and win over some players, and this patch looks to be a first step. Here's everything that's changed in Highguard with the Jan. 28 update. Highguard patch notes - Jan. 29, 2026 Image via Wildlight Entertainment The first post-launch update for Highguard focuses on some important quality of life changes, such as control scheme options on PC, an FOV option for console, and more.

All Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders and how to get them

Image
The Headwinds update has dropped different types of Rubber Ducks that you can find in ARC Raiders , and getting them could certainly make you pretty wealthy. Rubber Ducks have always been a popular item among the playerbase, despite not having any practical use. The Headwinds update has added more types to collect, so let's find out how. Table of contents All Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders How to get Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders What do with the Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders All Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders As of writing, there are seven types of collectible Rubber Ducks you can find in ARC Raiders .

How to get Revival blueprint in ARC Raiders

Image
The Revival is one of the two new augments added to ARC Raiders in the Headwinds update, and having the blueprint will allow you to craft it at your workstation. Like almost all blueprints in the game, there's no fixed location. Since it's of Epic rarity, the blueprint is going to be rarer. Let's look at some of the spots you can potentially target to raise your chances of success. Table of contents Best Revival blueprint locations in ARC Raiders How to craft the Revival augment in ARC Raiders Best Revival blueprint locations in ARC Raiders As of writing, you can only find the Revival via blueprints. In other words, a pre-built version can't be found in the loot. One way of obtaining the blueprint is to kill another player who was carrying it in their inventory. However, this method is not only unreliable, but you could end up getting killed in the process. I found the blueprint from the Village POI on Blue Gate. There's a locked room in this location...

It seems like one of Activision’s studios is escaping from the Call of Duty mines, with a rumored RPG potentially on the way

Image
Activision has almost exclusively focused its efforts on producing Call of Duty . Year in and year out, we get basically nothing else out of its three main studios (Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward), and we haven't for a very, very long time. But that could be about to change, with Activision giving some attention to ideas and projects removed from its established arcade shooter formula and letting Sledgehammer develop an "action RPG" with lots of lore and worldbuilding. This is drawn from the LinkedIn profile of Ben Wanat , former creative director at Sledgehammer Games, who worked (naturally) on various Call of Duty projects during his tenure. The studio he was part of had a few games of its own in the franchise, but mostly supported other, bigger teams in making their own mainline entries like Modern Warfare and Black Ops . Sledgehammer Games has almost exclusively worked on CoD over the past few years. Image via Sledgehammer However, Wanat hi...

Latest Deadlock overhaul turns Valve’s not-so-mysterious game into one of the most stylish titles of all time

Image
Deadlock continues its development cycle behind closed doors (if you've got no friends to open them for you, that is), with every few months bringing major changes to its core gameplay and art style. The latest overhaul was truly one for the history books, as it singlehandedly propelled the game almost to the very top of what I consider the most "stylish" games ever made. Deadlock 's new Old Gods, New Blood update brought along a total visual (and story) overhaul of the game's map, including both of the Patrons, the creeps, and everything in between. It is a complete stylistic shift, following previous updates that were increasingly stylized, embracing a genre blend that sits somewhere between late-19th-century New Orleans and early-20th-century New York (and all the cultural implications that might entail). Six new heroes are also coming into the fold, each a work of art, though players will have to wait a while before all of them are playable, since Valve ...

How to expand your Power Grid in Arknights Endfield

Your base's Power Grid is like your overall influence over the overworld in Arknights Endfield , and expanding it is a key component of the overall game.
