Farewell, we hardly knew ye. Official Microsoft support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 ends today. While it’s possible to continue using all three operating systems if you insist, you’ll do so without any technical assistance. Any security flaws that emerge will likewise go unpatched.

For PC gamers, that’s probably not a great loss. The latest Steam survey has the Windows 7 and 8 variants adding up to a grand total of just 2.18% of gamers.

Windows 7 has been on final life support since January 2020 when routine service was dropped and only critical security updates remained under an Extended Security Update program. Microsoft says Windows 8 and 8.1 will not benefit from that extended cover, meaning all three OSes are toast from today.

Microsoft’s advice if your PC doesn’t su…

The depressing, alarming, infuriating trend of videogame industry layoffs continued unabated today with news that Avalanche Studios Group, best known for the Just Cause series, is closing two of its offices, in Montreal and New York, and putting around 50 people out of work.

“Since its inception over two decades ago, Avalanche Studios Group has grown to encompass five locations worldwide: Stockholm, New York, Malmo, Liverpool, and Montreal,” Avalanche said in a message posted on its website (via GameDeveloper). “Today, we regretfully announce the closure of two of those locations: New York and Montreal. This means we’ll be parting ways with around 50 valued friends and colleagues, which represents roughly 9% of Avalanchers worldwide.

“This is an exceptionally difficult decis…

People say it’s boring to talk about the weather, but did you see that real-time sandstorm in the Monster Hunter Wilds trailer just now? Did you catch the bit near the end where lightning strikes the fins of some dinosaur-like creature roaming the desert? Forget boring—I have a feeling the weather’s practically all we’re going to be able to talk about when Monster Hunter Wilds arrives next year.

More than any other game in the series so far, Wilds looks like it’s focusing on making the environments a major player in the hunting experience, with natural phenomena like sandstorms, quicksand, and lightning storms all coming into play. We’ve still seen far too little to know how deep these systems will go, but it’s exactly what I was hoping for from the next Monster Hun…

David DePape, the man accused of attacking former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer and plotting to kidnap Pelosi herself, has just been found guilty on both counts. As part of his defence, DePape claimed he was radicalized on the internet (per Associated Press), and that he moved from being left-leaning to becoming a right wing conspiracy theorist, with Gamergate as the turning point, before a comment on a YouTube video about Donald Trump sparked his actions.

The crossover with the games industry’s cultural nadir is that DePape claims Gamergate is what initially drew him into the right-leaning conspiracy theories that would eventually lead him to break into the Pelosis’ house with a hammer and other equipment before attacking and seriously injuring Paul Pelosi…

If you hate bards like Chris Livingston hates bards, you’ll be thrilled to hear that GOG is giving away the strategy dungeon-crawler Legend of Keepers to mark the start of its 2023 Winter Sale.

“I hate bards, so I’m having a great time killing them in this reverse dungeon crawler,” PC Gamer’s resident music hater wrote of his time with Legend of Keepers. “I really had no idea until I killed my first bard in Legend of Keepers, and took great pleasure in first poisoning, then burning, then slashing that lute-strumming tune-warbling flaxen-haired jerk to death. Wow. I really do hate bards.”

Legend of Keepers is free until December 16—to snag it, just head over to GOG and click the “add to library” button. That’s it, it’s yours. Kill some bards. (And other would-be do-good…

Palworld’s continuing to get updates since its whirlwind success—one that’s seen it hit the 25 million player mark (though that number does include Game Pass subscribers) in a mere month and a half.

The latest patch helps you continue to be the very best (that no one ever was) by adding a whole Paldeck’s worth of fixes, tweaks, and improvements. For starters—while most players will eventually get their own great industrial machines churning in time, it’s often necessary to help your pals out with the crafting thing early on.

Doing so required you to press F to craft respects—I mean, Pal Spheres—and hold the button down. Considering your piddly crafting speed at the outset, this was annoying. Now there’s an option to change this to a toggle, so you can…

No judgments, but did you binge all eight episodes of Prime TV’s Fallout show as soon as they dropped? I showed a lot of restraint by watching four episodes one day and four more episodes the next day, but I know certain members of PC Gamer watched the entire season in a single session. 

We’re not alone in jetting through the Fallout show, either: according to Amazon, 65 million people watched the show in the first 16 days of its release, which began when all eight episodes became available on April 10. That’s a lot of pairs of irradiated eyeballs making Fallout the second-most watched show ever on Prime, following The Lords of the Rings: The Rings of Power which aired in 2022.

According to Variety, which has access to a press release I was never sent (I’m not mad, I’m …
