A senator for the US government has urged Valve to answer complaints about the amount of *******, sexist and otherwise hateful posts and imagery shared by users on Steam. The digital store was the subject of a report by the Anti-Defamation League last week, which claimed to find millions of examples of "hateful or extremist" language and images hosted on Steam's community. These include things like ***** symbols in profile pictures, white supremacist slogans in group names, and yet more discriminatory spew in user posts. The senator has noticed this report, and now writes directly to Gabe Newell, demanding that Valve "bring its content moderation practices in line with industry standards" or risk "intense scrutiny" from the government.

If the last few years of the videogame industry have taught me anything, it's to expect a comeback. CD Projekt Red made sure Cyberpunk 2077 would rise from the ashes, Hello Games continues to support No Man's Sky after almost a decade, and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 14 2.0 turned the MMO into a gargantuan success. I have ****** that Payday 3 will join these games, especially after the improvements Starbreeze has made to the co-op FPS in its first year. As we enter the game's next year of content, however, Starbreeze says it'll be lowering investment and using a smaller team - but it's not as bad as it might sound. Read the rest of the story...

Half-Life 2’s 20th Anniversary update has sparked a new concurrent player count record on Steam. Valve’s influential shooter hit a peak concurrent player count of 64,222 over the weekend after the studio released an upgraded experience with new features alongside a documentary that revealed gameplay of the canceled Episode 3. It helps that Half-Life 2 also went ‘free to keep’ until today, November 18. Half-Life 2 launched on November 16, 2004, a year after Steam itself. Public records for the game’s concurrent player count only begin in September 2008, according to SteamDB, so we don’t know how many played Half-Life 2 at launch 20 years ago. But we do know that at no point since September 2008 has Half-Life 2 been as popular on Steam as it is now. Half-Life 2's previous recorded best was 16,101 in August 2021 after a community event sparked a resurgence of interest. The anniversary update means Half-Life 2 now includes the complete Episode One and Episode Two expansions along with the base game. They’re accessible from the main menu, and you automatically advance to the next expansion after completing each one. There’s also a new Developers Commentary for the Half-Life 2 base game, after Valve got the team back to record three-and-a-half hours of new behind-the-scenes commentary. Perhaps most exciting is integrated Steam Workshop support, which lets players browse, install, and play user-created content for Half-Life 2 without ever leaving the game. Meanwhile, there are bug fixes and new graphics options that let players push the visual fidelity of Half-Life 2 further than was allowed in the original release. All these updates, the documentary and its associated headlines, and the ‘free to keep’ offer have combined to boost interest in all things Half-Life 2, and send thousands of players into City 17 to ****** back against the Combine. The question now is, will Valve finally follow it up with Half-Life 3? Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

While the story of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can be enjoyed without playing its predecessors, it helps to flesh out the gravity of Space Marine's plot. While the original Space Marine is an obvious predecessor to the sequel, there's another Warhammer title that fits directly in between the events of both game's storylines. Having barely survived fending off the hordes of Chaos and Greenskinned Orks, someone had to come back to clean up the mess Titus left behind. View the full article
