Valve (Page 4)

Remember when the reveal of Artifact caused such a review-bombing of Dota 2 that it made Valve add charts to Steam pages so people could see if games had been recently review-bombed?...

Valve's taken a lot of heat the past few months for the way it handles its loot boxes in Dota 2.

If you hate Mondays, just think of how the developers of games that have loot boxes must hate them -- or at least this Monday, in particular.

No, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive isn't going free-to-play -- not yet, anyway.

Earlier today, Blizzard posted on the forums for Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch to say that paid loot boxes for both games will soon be disabled for gamers in Belgium.

Because of the way Valve funds the prize pool for the annual Dota 2 The International tournament, players have a chance to get their hands on ridiculous amounts of money.

If you've been following gaming industry sites over the past week, you've probably heard about what's going on in China -- or, more specifically, what's not going on there.

A few weeks ago, we filled you in on OpenAI, a project funded by Elon Musk that pits a team of self-learning AI bots against human players in Dota 2.

When is a loot box not a loot box?...

With Steam drawing in about 15 million players at any one time, Valve has a pretty huge chunk of the PC gaming market.

The next time you complain that your opponent in a game is "botting," be careful -- it might be an actual, self-learning AI. OK, we're probably not quite at the point of having computers play computer games all over the pla...

Valve has suspended item trading in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the Netherlands.

Okay guys.

With around half a million players at any one time -- trailing only PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Steam -- Dota 2 isn't exactly dying.

Valve's making its free-to-play games a little less free lately.

As one game enters free-to-play, another exits.

Dota 2 players will be getting more frequent -- if smaller -- updates over the next six months.

It's prediction time again!...

What a wild and wacky 2017 it's been!...

Steam is love, Steam is life – and some games are more lively than others. Valve's platform has it all, good and bad.

Valve is celebrating 10 years of Team Fortress 2 by sending players to the jungle.

All nine of Team Fortress 2's characters are male -- and yes, that includes the Pyro, despite some people's belief in the contrary.

Sometimes events happen in succession that might seem related but maybe aren't.

Since its reveal just over a month ago, I've been following the amazing saga of Artifact: The Dota Card Game.

During this weekend's Dota 2 tournament, Elon Musk held a demonstration of his OpenAI bot, pitting it against pro player Danylo "Dendi" Ishutin.

Valve announced a new game yesterday.

Last week, two articles -- one about League of Legends and one about Dota 2 -- caught my eye.

The Dota 2 International Battle Pass expires on Sept.

They say that no game is truly ever finished.

Tired of getting spanked in Dota 2 PvP matches by people much better than you?...
