Last week, Valve announced Dota Underlords, its auto-chess variant based on Dota 2.

Begun, the auto-chess wars have.

A sovereign Native American nation is suing Valve over gambling rights in the state of Washington.

After going nearly two months without any communication, Valve posted to the Steam page for Artifact last Thursday, March 29.

If you've always wanted to play competitive Team Fortress 2, but didn't know how to break into the scene without getting your face kicked in, now's your chance.

When you're on top, there's nowhere to go but down, right?...

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive went free-to-play on Dec.

It's time, once again, to be amazed and astounded by my precocious acts of prestidigitation, my prescient predictions, my prattling on about probable outcomes … however you put it, it's free-to-play prediction time again her...

Yeah, we know that CS:GO has been out forever and has a ton of video already, but we take a First Look at it anyway focusing on the new F2P conversion and the Danger Zone Battle Royale mode that have been added. To find out...

The Game Awards might be taking place later tonight, but that doesn't mean we have to wait several hours for all the big news.

Remember when the reveal of Artifact caused such a review-bombing of Dota 2 that it made Valve add charts to Steam pages so people could see if games had been recently review-bombed?...

Valve's taken a lot of heat the past few months for the way it handles its loot boxes in Dota 2.

If you hate Mondays, just think of how the developers of games that have loot boxes must hate them -- or at least this Monday, in particular.

No, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive isn't going free-to-play -- not yet, anyway.

Earlier today, Blizzard posted on the forums for Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch to say that paid loot boxes for both games will soon be disabled for gamers in Belgium.

Because of the way Valve funds the prize pool for the annual Dota 2 The International tournament, players have a chance to get their hands on ridiculous amounts of money.

If you've been following gaming industry sites over the past week, you've probably heard about what's going on in China -- or, more specifically, what's not going on there.

A few weeks ago, we filled you in on OpenAI, a project funded by Elon Musk that pits a team of self-learning AI bots against human players in Dota 2.

When is a loot box not a loot box?...

With Steam drawing in about 15 million players at any one time, Valve has a pretty huge chunk of the PC gaming market.

The next time you complain that your opponent in a game is "botting," be careful -- it might be an actual, self-learning AI. OK, we're probably not quite at the point of having computers play computer games all over the pla...

Valve has suspended item trading in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the Netherlands.

Okay guys.

With around half a million players at any one time -- trailing only PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Steam -- Dota 2 isn't exactly dying.

Valve's making its free-to-play games a little less free lately.

As one game enters free-to-play, another exits.

Dota 2 players will be getting more frequent -- if smaller -- updates over the next six months.

It's prediction time again!...

What a wild and wacky 2017 it's been!...

Steam is love, Steam is life – and some games are more lively than others. Valve's platform has it all, good and bad.
