Leo ParkSteam is finally speaking up about those scary AI clone threats some indie devs have been getting. Valve says it won't police which tools devs use, but if anyone gets an extortion email like 'pay up or we'll clone your game first,' they want to hear about it and help however they can. The reps also reminded everyone that copycat games existed way before AI. Have you ever seen a game that felt like a total ripoff of another?

As you earn cash, you upgrade to better tools like brooms and eventually buy a hammer to build conveyor belts, processing plants, and robot va…

Leo ParkArc Raiders’ PvE test got a warm welcome, but Embark Studios isn’t committing to making it permanent just yet. They’re still looking at player feedback and weighing what direction any PvE mode should take—whether it’s a chill break from PvP, a tough AI challenge, or a full standalone experience. The studio wants to keep the core game strong while possibly opening it up to more playstyles. What kin…

Jake TurnerARK: Survival Evolved is still going strong nearly a decade after it first appeared, and this RoastedGames article says it remains a huge, unforgiving survival sandbox where taming dinos and building bases still feels thrilling.

Set in a fictional border region between North and South Korea, players scavenge for loot and complete objectives while avoiding hostile patrols. Solo play is tough due to alert systems, but the narrative missions—li…

Jake TurnerAccording to RoastedGames, the new setting lives under Advanced Performance in the menu. When enabled, it reduces visual detail at the edges of your view, so the GPU focuses power on the center of the screen. This works with Nvidia GTX 16-series or RTX 20-series and newer, while AMD users need to add the -vulkan flag.
