Remember when we observed that Nvidia’s RTX 3060 was the new Steam Survey king but something fishy was going on? Well, Steam latest numbers are out and, you guessed it, the data has gone back to “normal”, returning the 3060 from whence it came. 

We also can’t help notice just how badly AMD does compared to Nvidia by some measures. Hold that thought, we’ll come back to it.

Steam’s March figures saw the RTX 3060 leap up to over 10% share of all gamers using the platform. Previously, the 3060 had been ticking along in the high 3% to low 4% range. The latest figures for April return the 3060 to 4.66% of all gamers on Steam. That’s much more plausible.

The April numbers also mean that the RTX 3060 drops back down to third place overall, behind the GTX 1650 in first pla…

Remember a while ago when OpenAI Ceo, Sam Altman, said that the misuse of artificial intelligence could be “lights out for all?” Well, that wasn’t such an unreasonable statement considering now that hackers are selling tools to get past ChatGPT’s restrictions to make it generate malicious content.

Checkpoint reports (via Ars Technica) that cybercriminals have found a fairly easy way to bypass ChatGPT content moderation barriers and make a quick buck doing so. For less than $6, you can have ChatGPT generate malicious code or a ton of persuasive copy for phishing emails. 

These hackers did it by using OpenAI’s API to create special bots in the popular messaging app, Telegram, that can access a restriction-free version of ChatGPT through the app. Cybercriminals are chargin…

Ready or Not developer Void Interactive has confirmed that it suffered a significant hack that saw at least some of the game’s source code stolen, but said that no data relating to Ready or Not players or its own staff was taken.

The hack was first reported by Insider Gaming, which said that more than 4TB of data was taken by a ransom group in March. The site said it was shown the contents of the stolen data, which includes the Ready or Not source code along with console builds of the game and images of it running on a PlayStation 4 test kit.

While the hack happened a month ago, Void Interactive hadn’t commented on it until today, when it confirmed the breach with Kotaku, saying it was the result of a vulnerability in the on-premises version of TeamCity. The studio said “no …

RuneScape studio Jagex and Steamforged Games today announced the release of not one but two adaptations of the venerable MMO, both under the branding of RuneScape Kingdoms.

The board game, RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg, was kickstarted back in 2022 and quickly sailed past its target, offering “co-operative campaigns heavily inspired by iconic quests from the video game.” It does seem very RuneScape-y, built around questing, crafting gear, earning capes, and apparently the ability to bake “game-changing cakes.” The game’s structured around four boss campaigns, during which your party balances questing and saving cats from trees with an ever-increasing threat level in the world.

Steamforged clearly has the bit between its teeth, too: there are four expansions available …

Earlier this week players of Nexon’s new looter-shooter The First Descendant made a wonderful discovery: The game has its own Destiny-style loot cave. Soon christened “the Valby Run”, this area features mobs that respawn infinitely and at a high rate, which can be farmed endlessly for oodles of the game’s currencies and gear. And the big surprise was that the developers didn’t seem all that bothered, and indeed said they were going to lean-in and basically make other areas more like the Valby Run.

This all sounded very exciting, and certainly got the attention of the playerbase. But sadly Nexon has now walked back this statement, apologising and saying that the announcement from the game’s director had been “mistranslated”. See, when he said they were going to make all farm…

With Diablo 4’s runewords, sorcerers won’t be the only class who can teleport across the screen. Barbarians won’t be the only ones who can shout so loud their skin turns to iron. Stealth? Not just for rogues anymore either. Runewords break the rules of Sanctuary and they’re coming with the Vessel of Hatred expansion in October.

Runewords have existed in the series since Diablo 1, but in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred they’ve been simplified. Runes are a new type of item that drop from monsters (or are traded from other players) that let you essentially create your own skills. Ritual runes build up a new resource called offering, and invocation runes spend offering to trigger a unique skill, some of which are borrowed from other classes.

Take a legendary Yul and Jah rune for exam…

The wildly unpredictable spinoff publishers over at Riot Forge have got something new for you—Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story will be a crafting RPG inspired by games like Stardew Valley that stars the adorable fluffballs known as the Yordles, set in their hometown of Bandle City. It’ll be developed by Lazy Bear, the studio behind Graveyard Keeper and Punch Club, with adorably colorful pixel art to match.

“After a party goes wrong, the portals that connect your home collapse and throw everything into chaos! Using your knitting magic and backpack house, restore the portals to reunite Bandle City,” says the game description. 

Players will be in charge of a Yordle who has just finished their 101-year apprenticeship in knitting, which I guess is magic in Bandle…

As part of update 3.1.0, Total War: Warhammer 3 has another free legendary hero. Last time it was the Kislevite vampire Ulrika Magdova, and this time it’s a hard counter to undead like her: Harald Hammerstorm, also known as Harry the Hammer, a Chaos Warrior who specializes in killing anything that rises from the grave.

If you didn’t already go through this step to unlock Ulrika, to get Harry in your game you’ll first need to register a CA account and connect it to your platform of choice. Otherwise, you can skip that process. With that done, the hammer-wielding Kurgan will join a Warriors of Chaos army in any campaign after you complete his quest “The Hammerstorm Cometh”, which appears when you get your legendary lord up to level 15. It demands you kill 3,000 enemies in battle, af…
