Subnautica 2’s EULA is so severe that even this news story breaks it

Subnautica 2 has launched in early access and received praise for its gameplay, but it faces controversy due to its publisher Krafton's strict End User License Agreement (EULA). The EULA prohibits players from transferring their Steam accounts to family members upon death, raising concerns about digital asset inheritance. Discussions on platforms like the Stop Killing Games subreddit reflect unease about consumer rights. Additionally, Krafton's CEO has been using ChatGPT to address corporate challenges, including reducing bonus payouts to the heads of Unknown Worlds, the studio behind Subnautica.

Now that Subnautica 2 is out, the most wishlisted game on Steam is… a game that’s been out for almost 2 years?

Subnautica 2 held the top spot on Steam's most-wishlisted titles since the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong in September 2025, but its recent launch has allowed Light No Fire to become the new frontrunner for the most-wishlisted game. Deadlock, which has been available for nearly two years and receives regular updates, now ranks at the top of the wishlist despite being in early access. It has a peak concurrent player count of 171,490 and an average of over 50,000 players at any given moment.

PC gamers, say goodbye to PlayStation exclusives as Sony confirms single-player games aren’t coming to PC anymore… except for one

PlayStation has announced the end of single-player PC ports, confirmed by Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation. This decision halts the trend of PS5 exclusives being ported to PC about a year after their console launch. Titles like Ghost of Yotei and Saros, previously expected to be ported, will not be released on PC. However, Kena: Scars of Kosmora will still launch on both PS5 and PC in 2026, as it is developed by Ember Lab, a non-first-party studio. The decision is driven by concerns that PC ports could harm the PlayStation brand and affect PS5 sales. This shift reflects a retreat from a model that allowed consumers to choose between console and PC versions. The competitive gaming landscape, including emerging platforms like Valve's Steam Machine, is also influencing this strategy.

Free Steam game Beyond the Dark turns out to be malware, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it

The indie horror game, Beyond The Dark, was initially launched as Rodent Race in December 2024 and underwent a branding and gameplay overhaul, emerging in its current form a few weeks ago. The transition began on May 4, raising concerns about Steam's review process. Cybersecurity expert Eric Parker noted that Beyond The Dark disguised its true intentions by appearing as a standard horror game while collecting personal data from players. The game was ultimately removed from Steam due to community reports. The trend of 'vibe coding' using AI tools poses a risk for malware-infested games on Steam, prompting a need for reevaluation of Valve's protocols. Gamers are advised to remain vigilant and skeptical of enticing offers, especially free-to-play games.

PC Users To Lose A Bunch Of Games Following PlayStation Shake-Up

Sony has indicated a definitive shift away from supporting other platforms, with no plans to extend its game offerings to PC in the future. This decision contrasts with competitors like Xbox, which is expanding its reach by making exclusive titles available on various platforms. Titles such as Bloodborne and Ghost of Yōtei will remain exclusive to PlayStation. Sony has not officially confirmed or denied these reports, leaving uncertainty regarding their future plans. This announcement follows a price increase for PlayStation Plus Essential, causing frustration among existing users. The news coincides with Valve's upcoming launch of the Steam Machine, which aims to attract console gamers to PC gaming. Sony appears to be focusing on its own hardware, leaving PC gamers without new PlayStation titles on the horizon.
