"Valve wins lawsuit against Rothschild and associated entities" is definitely a piece of news that will elicit completely normal reaction from capital-G Gamers.
In the case of Valve vs Rothschild, it's an outright win for Newell's company
And possibly an even bigger win for those fighting against patent trolls.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

The administration thinks it's in a multipolar world of competing great powers and spheres of influence but also in a unipolar world sustained by American exceptionalism. Because it doesn't know much about IR, it doesn't understand its error. 🧵
Donald Trump is trying something risky: the half-abandonment of allies. He is willing to do much less for the defence of Europe and NATO, but still expects allies to do as America says. That’s not a stable relationship and trust is crumbling. My column from #MSC2026

These are very dangerous conversations -- saying that Europe has nothing to fear and that, in the event of an invasion of Western countries, Russia would not win, since Putin couldn’t "even" defeat Ukraine.

Was browsing Steam and suddenly discovered that "Behind Enemy Lines" or, for the Western audiences, "Soldiers: Heroes of World War II" was remastered. This is the game that birthed mega-popular "Men of War" series of RTS.
Holy shit, I still remember buying a jewel LICENSED CD of that game in 2004.
