Zero reviews, zero discounts, $49.99. Gothic 1 Remake cracked Steam's Top 5 on pure pre-order momentum — the kind only a 25-year-old cult classic can command.
One Finnish developer. One game. Number one on Steam, above every AAA title on the platform. The reviews explain both why it's winning — and why some long-time fans are saying wait.
Ordinary Iranians are forming human chains around power plants, offering their bodies as shields against promised bombardment. Russia and China just vetoed the only UN resolution addressing the escalating war.
Kanye West offered to sit down with British Jews and listen. The UK government revoked his travel authorisation instead, cancelling an entire music festival in the process.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy. The AI approved them anyway. Across every domain we covered today, the same pattern: systems designed with human checkpoints, running with nobody at the switch.
Half the price of the first expansion, sitting at 79% positive on Steam, and launching alongside a free update that fixes the game's biggest complaint. So why does it still feel like a consolation prize?
A Metacritic 93 with 311,000 Steam reviews just hit its lowest price ever at $14.99. Your backlog doesn't stand a chance.
Russian intelligence compromised 5,000 home routers without deploying any malware — just DNS settings most victims never checked. The only warning sign was a certificate pop-up most people ignore.
US forces struck Iran's main oil export hub as Trump vowed "a whole civilization will die tonight" unless Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm Eastern. Mediators from three nations are racing against the clock.
Iran's IRGC claimed missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia's Jubail petrochemical hub, targeting a $20 billion Aramco-Dow venture. Saudi Arabia can no longer pretend this war is someone else's fight.
For the first time, a clinical trial will attempt to rewind aged human cells to a younger state. The treatment targets vision loss — but the question it asks could reshape what medicine thinks about aging.
The IEA's Fatih Birol says the Strait of Hormuz blockade is worse than the oil shocks of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined. Diesel in the Philippines just jumped 60 per cent. Bangladeshis are robbing petrol stations at gunpoint.
The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after commander Reid Wiseman's late wife on Monday — the same day they became the farthest humans from Earth in history and watched an hour-long solar eclipse from beyond the Moon.
Ben Roberts-Smith was escorted off a flight at Sydney Airport and charged with five counts of war crime murder. The Victoria Cross recipient faces life imprisonment for killings a civil court has already found he likely committed.
A $25 Early Access game from a small studio peaked at 430,456 concurrent players — enough to crash Steam for half an hour. A month later, it's still climbing.
The IRGC published satellite imagery of OpenAI's $30 billion Stargate data center and promised "complete and utter annihilation" if the US strikes Iranian power plants. A 1-gigawatt AI cluster is now explicitly in a shooting war's crosshairs.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy and the Sideshow Bob Foundation. The chatbots didn't notice — and neither did a peer-reviewed journal.
JD Vance touched down in Budapest to rally for Viktor Orbán, breaking decades of US diplomatic convention by openly campaigning in another country's election. Orbán — the far-right's global icon — trails by double digits.
