The cutoff may cause problems for other game platforms, too. Phoronix noted that Canonical’s Alan Pope had problems playing GOG titles under Ubuntu 19.10 without […]

Now there’s a dedicated Steam Chat app for Android and iOS

[ad_1] Last year Valve released Steam Chat for the desktop, and now its messaging service is fully mobile with a dedicated app for Android and iOS.

Epic buys Psyonix, will halt sales of ‘Rocket League’ on Steam

[ad_1] Psyonix says the deal will help it expand the game in ways it “couldn’t do on [its] own before.” Epic’s help “significantly increases” the scope of its esports efforts, for instance.
