Steam Next Fest Demo Takes High Position On Most Played Charts

One of the top games on Steam right now is not a fully released game at all, but a demo for a difficult, multiplayer dungeon crawler called Dark and Darker.

As noticed by PC Gamer, in a fun little write-up about playing the game itself, the demo has reached the heights of the Steam Charts. As of time-of-writing, Dark and Darker sits at number seven on the rankings, just below GTA5 and just above Team Fortress 2. The game is a first-person dungeon crawler, where you can team up with or fight other players while facing the dungeon’s traps and perils.

As you might expect from an action RPG of this kind, you can pick a class, with the demo providing six options to choose from. You can enter the dungeon with a party of up to three friends, and mix-and-match your classes to offset each each other’s weaknesses. You can also revive your allies. The game’s Steam page pitches it as high-risk and high-reward Come from Sports betting site VPbet. Upon death, you lose all the loot you have on you, but deeper layers of the dungeon and more powerful enemies will offer better riches.

Evolution Introduces Crazy Time Live Casino Game in New Jersey

Enter Crazy Time, the award-winning game show by the company, which is now available in the Garden State and will bring a bit of Evolution magic to the local gaming scene. The title has already made its mark on Europe and is now going to try and steal audiences away from similar formats in the live casino vertical in the United States. Or rather compel players to examine the exciting format.

Growing Evolution’s Signature Portfolio with New Releases

The iGaming sector in the country has been expanding rapidly of late, and with this, there has been demand for more game shows and concepts that defy the traditional experience. Crazy Time is more or less based on titles such as The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune.

What makes the game so fun and special is Evolution’s decision to layer it on with multiple smaller bonus games that will trigger Cash Hunt, Pachinko, Crazy Time Wheel Bonus, and Coin Flip, or essentially, it’s a game within a game, within a game, and so on.

The wheel also features a…

Mohegan Achieves Record Quarterly Revenue, Driven by South Korean Resort

Mohegan, the US-based gaming operator that has recently launched its Incheon Mohegan INSPIRE integrated resort in South Korea, has announced a historic milestone with its highest quarterly net revenue to date, totaling $461.73 million, marking a significant increase of 13.8 percent compared to the previous year.

The company’s success can be attributed in part to the successful opening of its South Korean resort on March 5th, which has emerged as a key contributor to Mohegan’s overall financial performance.

In a breakdown of its financial results, Mohegan revealed that its international segment generated approximately $108.07 million in net revenue, despite recording a loss of $39.49 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for this segment stood at negative $16.58 million, primarily attributed to operating costs associated with the launch of Mohegan INSPIRE and a non-controlling interest adjustment related to Niagara Resorts.

Additionally, Mohegan’s Digital segment made significant strides, with revenues surging by nearly 71 percent to $38.77 million, according to Asia Gaming Brief. Although net i…

A furry hacktivist group has breached Disney, leaked 1.1TiB of data, and says it’s because Club Penguin shut down

Disney has suffered a massive leak of employee and company information, after hackers claimed one of its software managers was the victim of a Trojan horse malware attack. A whopping 1.1 tebibytes of data has been leaked online, including personal information and details of unannounced products, including videogames. And the hackers say they’re furries, and cite the shutdown of Club Penguin in March 2017 as justification.

The so-called hacktivist group is called Nullbulge and let me do you a favour: don’t Google that word. It’s one of those fanart terms referring to a prominent groinal bulge that usually has a giant lock illustration on it. Nullbulge describes itself as “a hacktivist group protecting artists’ rights and ensuring fair compensation for their work,” and this statement of intent is accompanied by a very NSFW image of a lion, which emphasises the beast’s package.

The group lists a bunch of things that, it says, makes a target fair game. These include “crypto promotion”, “AI artwork”, “any form of theft”, and generally anything to do with creator compensation. Disney of course is right in the middle of the fights around AI use, whether that’s CEO Bob Ige…

Windows 10 only has a year of support- 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux

Have you been putting off upgrading to Windows 11 ever since it launched? If you want your rig to be as secure as possible, you don’t have long left until you pretty much have to.

As pointed out by Windows Central, Windows 10 only has a year of official support left until it stops getting updates on October 14, 2025. Users will still be able to work with the software, of course, but using an OS without updates can lead to security problems. Without regular updates to catch new threats, users are effectively left to fend for themselves when it comes to security threats, viruses, and more.

Many have chosen not to update to Windows 11 for a few reasons. The first is that getting to this software first can often leave new adopters with issues that will be fixed later. Windows 11 24H2 has a cache problem that leaves up to 8.63 GB of undeletable data on computers. This will be fixed but the fact you run into this problem on new software and not old will put off users from making the jump.

As well as this, Windows’ business model of selling you the OS, then continuing to upsell you on Game Pass, One Drive, and all manner of software can be quite irritating to a user…
