Star Citizen 3.0 Pushed Back Again
Star Citizen 3.0 is having more issues.

WoW Gold Farming, My Perspective
Cracked recently published a thorough and insightful article wherein they interviewed a World of Warcraft addict.

Steam Direct Launches, Has $100 Fee
With the long-awaited destruction of the broken dam of garbage that was Steam Greenlight, Valve is hoping to vastly improve the state of the internet’s biggest gaming download service.

Are You an MMO Packrat?
As someone who has played video games off and on for nearly 25 years, it’s safe to assume I’m a digital hoarder. And it’s not just in MMOs, in many singleplayer games, I go out of my way to collect anything with the smallest amount of value. In some games I meticulously organize my hoards
Steam Gifting Blocked Across Countries With big Price Differences
Valve is continuing to crack down, in a manner of speaking, on the Steam marketplace. A couple of months ago, Steam changed it’s review algorithm to remove any chance of gifted or otherwise unpaid games having poisoned review scores.

ISK-Starter and EVE Crowdfunding
With the downfall and banning of gambling in EVE Online, a lot of EVE community initiatives and media outlets have been hurting for funding.

Digital Homicide Drops Suit Against Steam Users

Digital Homicide is Suing Everyone Because No One Liked Their Games

Pokemon GO is a continuation of a worrying trend of privacy in gaming
Pokemon as a franchise is exceedingly popular to put it very lightly. The vast reach of the franchise through multiple generations has allowed the recent release of the companion AR [Augmented Reality] smartphone application Pokemon Go to become one of the most popular in history, and it shows no signs of slowing down. But all
The North Burns, but What Does the Future Hold?
For those even remotely paying attention to EVE over the last few months, the last couple weeks have been an amazing mixture of tensions and terror.
