Fallout 76 is free on Steam for Bethesda.net users
Fallout 76 had a very rough launch. The game was extremely buggy on launch, and plagued with server issues. The game also seemed to be a sort of chaotic perpetual motion machine of controversy.

Fallout 76 is coming to Steam on April 7th, bringing Wastelanders Update
Fallout 76 had a very rough year in 2019. The game launched to a torrent of angry fan backlash who saw the incredibly broken game as an insult to fans and the franchise as a whole.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Has Sold Over A Million Copies On Steam
Halo: Reach and the story of Noble Team are a good combo for FPS action.

Steam purges hundreds of games ahead of sale

Cyborg Mechanic wants you to sell your humanity

Counter-Strike loot key reselling banned over money laundering
Money laundering is a major problem. The concept of how criminals and their enterprises “wash” their illicit profits so that they can safely spend them is a consistently evolving game of complex math, webs of political corruption, and a network of exploiting financial systems. Since the birth of the US “War on Terror” in the
