Geoff Keighley denies he’s hiding Half-Life 3 in his Steam wishlist, posts a screenshot to prove it, nobody believes him, and I’m starting to wonder if he’s just messing with us

Geoff Keighley, host of The Game Awards, sparked speculation in the gaming community with a tweet that included a single emoji and encouraged followers to check the nominee page for #TheGameAwards on Steam. He revealed that he had only one game on his wishlist, which is called Dadlympics, a multiplayer game combining dad jokes with physics-based antics, released in September 2024. The game had a peak concurrent player count of six. Keighley added Dadlympics to his wishlist on November 18, the day after the speculation began.

Android Auto Games Are Back After Brief Disappearance

GameSnacks disappeared from Android Auto apps, causing concern that it was intentionally removed. However, it was just a temporary visibility issue. To get the games back, update Android Auto to version 15.3 or higher, reconnect to the car, and ensure GameSnacks is enabled in Customize Launcher. This is important for in-car entertainment as it provides approved mini-games for idle time. Google is focusing on car-friendly content that is safe and not distracting.
