A recent source code leak for Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had communities worried about remote code security, but Valve says not to worry. When a game has public and private servers, knowledge of certain code can lead to some worrying situations about security across server access. Such was the case when the Team Fortress and Counter-Strike communities discovered that source code for both games had been leaked online, and though several ends of the community were left worried and took precautions by shutting down servers, Valve has

Valve went in-depth with some intriguing pieces of data as related to the performance of new games on its Steam platform in a new report. Want to hear something unsurprising?

As a video game company, Valve means so much for the industry at large, particularly the PC gaming world. As the owners and operators of Steam, Valve is directly responsible for pulling PC gaming back from the brink of irrelevance in the mid-2000s and helping to foster the golden age of indie games. It can be easy to forget that they also occasionally make games. The world got a big reminder this week with the release of Half-Life: Alyx, the most-impressive VR game to date. Hot on the heels of
