"It didn't look like things were going to change anytime soon": Valve insist price worries were never behind Steam Machine delays

The new Steam Machine is pretty neat, but it’s walked a long and painful road to reach yesterday’s launch. A secret work-in-progress at Valve since at least 2023, it would be late 2025 before an initial public showing, and subsequent delays – blamed on industry-wide components shortages and the resultant price gouging – meant it that it when it did open for orders, it would be months later and at considerably greater expense than planned. The volatility and unpredictabil

"This crisis was avoidable, but our bosses chose to drive blindly towards disaster": French videogame union STJV call for national industry strike day

The French Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV) union have called for a national strike across the country's games industry on June 25th. The action's being taken against the ongoing layoffs which continue to ravage the game-making space, with the union calling on striking workers to "demand major organisational changes within their companies".

The seven best anti-Prime Day deals we can find in the UK and US — no Amazon required

Well, the big Prime Day deals bonanza has finally arrived, and we aren't going with it. Well, we are - as James has noted in his big master guide, there is some mutual benefit for talking about deals and all for both you and us, but that's besides the point. None of the deals you're going to find here are Amazon deals - I've gone through the deluge of other retailers you could choose to spend your hard-earned cash at over the next couple of days, and rounded up what I think are some of the best

Stranger Than Heaven studio don't intend their "casting choices [to] take the spotlight and overshadow everything else", despite that now having happened two games running

Remember when, during Stranger Than Heaven's release date reveal at the Summer Geoffs, the word TUPAC flashed on screen in big capital letters during the climax of a trailer running down the history-hopping yakuza brawler's cast? Remember how afterwards, as you'd expect given the whole digital resurrection of a rapper who was murdered nearly 30 years ago thing, 99% of the chatter about the game was focused on that rather than the date or any other aspects of it? Yeah, well, that apparently isn'

The RPS Anti-Prime Day 2026 deals guide: Cheaper hardware, 100% Amazon-free

If you thought becoming deputy editor would get a man off the hook from sifting through Prime Day deals, you would be incorrect. Apparently. Still, these days I’m especially not in the mood to point people towards Amazon – lest even a single penny continue to bulge the pockets of their anti-press, pro-authoritarian executive chairman, one of the wealthiest men in history and yet so thin-skinned he won’t even let RPG characters be named after him. At the same time, I will conce
