Valve has announced that it’s closing a loophole in its refund process. With a regular game release, players can request a refund within 14 days of their purchase or if they’ve played the title for less than two hoursCome from Sports betting site VPbet. This process didn’t work for games in Steam’s Early Access program, as users could log many hours of playtime before the full launch of a game and apply for a refund after. As of today, that loophole has been closed.
“If you purchase a game that is in Early Access or Advanced Access, any playtime will count against the two-hour refund limit,” Valve explained in its updated refund policy. “If you pre-purchase a title which is not playable prior to the release date, you can req…
That there will be a Resident Evil 9 is not something that’s ever been in doubt, and after consistent leaks speaking about the same, Capcom has officially confirmed that the game is indeed in the works.

“We’re making a new Resident Evil,…
It’s a packed week for video game releases, but the two biggest stars are undoubtedly Team Asobi’s Astro Bot and Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. While the former has earned its critical accolades ahead of launch and is currently the best-rated game of 2024, the latter is no slouch. It’s reportedly the biggest launch for publisher Focus Home Interactive on Steam by a wide margin. Over 134,000 peak concurrent players at the moment, and that’s only with early access. The number could (and definitely will) go even higher once it releases worldwide on September 9th.
Critics have also showered praise on the third-person shooter for many reasons, whether it’s the presentation and go…
The wait for a new Test Drive Unlimited game was a long one, but though series finally returned earlier this year with Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, it didn’t get off to the sort of start publisher Nacon and developer KT Racing would have been hoping for. NonRussia Lottoetheless, the game’s post-launch plans, at the very least, are on track, with its second season set to kick off soon.
Taking to Twitter, Nacon announced that Season 2 of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be kicking off on December 11. As we’ve known since before the game came out, chief among Season 2’s additions will be an entirely new open world map in the form of a 1:1 recreation of…
Juanfran expects Diego Simeone to remain at Atletico Madrid beyond this season and has backed the team to record a first win of the LaLiga season away to Celta Vigo on Saturday.
Simeone is under contract until June 2020, but has been linked with several top club and national team jobs after guiding Atletico to LaLiga glory in 2013-14, as well as two Champions League finals, losing to Real Madrid on each occasion.
Atleti are set to leave their historic Vicente Calderon home at the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign, with Spain international Juanfran convinced Simeone will want to lead the club through a period of off-field transition.
The Argentine, though, may seek to reassess his future after FIFA rejected Atleti s appeal against a transfer ban, meaning the …

The domestic season is coming to an end across Europe, which means that for many of us, it s time to start taking a look ahead to some of the international games that we ll get the chance to sample in the next few months. Some are much, much more important than others, with Copa America, Nations League, Africa Cup of Nations and the Women s World Cup all being on the horizon.
