    Current Blizzard Games Will Stop Working on Older Windows Versions in October

    Regarding "unexpected reboots," there are settings to help with that. Hopefully this helps you and others out in the future: If you go to Settings > Update & Security > Change Active Hours "Set active hours to let us know when you typically use this device. We won?t automatically restart it...

    Current Blizzard Games Will Stop Working on Older Windows Versions in October

    For what it's worth, Microsoft is gentler than Apple. MS historically was more of a "You know, it sure would be nice if you might possibly upgrade. Please?" but they're getting better at enforcing security updates and keeping them automated and out-of-sight out-of-mind with Windows 10. So...

    Current Blizzard Games Will Stop Working on Older Windows Versions in October

    Attaboy, Blizzard. Ideally this encourages stragglers to get with the times. Operating Systems that are long out of support pose security hazards. And like vaccines, people who are not up to date pose a risk to the populace in general. :D

    Everything We Know About Far Cry 5 | Release Date, Trailer, Customization & More

    Well that's an easy bet. :D For those with short attention spans who will inevitably be outraged over wrong assumptions, I'm prepared to sum the game up with something like: "You work with a Christian pastor to rid the county of those who pervert Christianity and falsely claim to represent...

    Looking forward to finding out more on this one. Hopefully they can switch it up mechanics-wise somehow from FC3 & FC4.

    Upcoming Pokemon Go Update Will Add 80 New Pokemon

    Hah, I forgot about it too. Anecdotally, I used to see it played every week when I visited a local gamer bar. It's been about a month since I've seen anyone tapping/swiping away at their phones. I'm sure someone is still playing it but I can't see it picking up relevance again without a major...

    Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide Studios Announce Werewolf: The Apocalypse Game

    I will try to summarize the situation and hope this is helpful to read! White Wolf in its original incarnation became defunct many years ago. CCCP (EVE Online makers) held the rights for White Wolf intellectual property for many years; primarily failing to create an MMO out of the World of...

    New No Man's Sky Patch Released, Loads of Bugs Fixed

    1947 online, but how many games failed to exit gracefully leaving Steam to just think they're still playing? :D Hello Games hit upon a love of Shadenfreude in me, for the situation they made for themselves. I'm kinda sad Sean Murray stopped putting his foot in his mouth.

    The Witcher 3 Devs Discuss The Hardest Quests to Program And Write

    It's not often discussion or Q&As on the writing within a game happen, cool! Thanks for the article and link Steven. I imagine there would drift on that after three games; though I thought I read only the first Witcher game really took after the novel, and after that it was more "inspired...

    That's cool, I can understand that. Privacy is a big issue with tech in all quarters these days. Thank you for the polite reply as well.

    Quantum Break Confirmed for Windows 10

    JLF, if you have Windows 8.1, you can update it to 10 for free for most of the year yet. Unless they're not offering that outside of the US? There's an option to revert back to Win 8.1 within 30 days so you can try it and revert. Heads up. As to the "Windows 10 as a platform" concept, MS had...
