Is the Dutch solution to Loot Boxes more evil than the problem?
The Dutch banned Loot Boxes and Valve removed them in June. Wesley Yin-Poole has a nice write up the situation over at Eurogamer. In essence; Loot Boxes are gambling. You pay money for them and don’t know what you’ll get back. The situation was made even worse (or more addictive) with loot box trading and […]

Valve announce multiple Steam powered machines
Did you safely predict Valve would launch a SteamBox after yesterday’s SteamOS news? I did. I was wrong.
