Valve made some fake game titles for a scavenger hunt for the Steam Summer Sale in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

We know that the people at Valve have quite the sense of humor. This year's summer sale has come and gone, but that leaves us with a fun little present: Valve shared with us all the fake video game key art and covers that were hidden inside Steam's massive digital catalog as part of a scavenger hunt style game. Valve developer Claire Hummel - who worked previously on games like Half-Life: Alyx and Westworld Awakening VR - created the images for all of t

Stardock Classic Games Round-Up! in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

In case you weren’t aware, Stardock has been around for a minute or two. And by “a minute or two,” I mean since 1991! Throughout the years, we have made tons of software and plenty of games. It’s true that as time goes on and technology improves, games become outdated - but that doesn’t mean they’re not still enjoyable. I personally go back and play 1990’s T <span

Summer is here and Stardock has gone to the dogs! in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

At this point it should be no secret, but we love dogs here at Stardock. Honestly, we don’t discriminate; we pretty much love all animals, and the ecosystem surrounding our office is inhabited by feral kitties, geese, snapping turtles, groundhogs, and dozens of other critters that we do our best to live peacefully with.

These tiny frogs have one big problem: they're bad at hopping. in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

It's a widely known fact that we love an array of animals here at Stardock, and frogs are certainly among them. Our CEO Brad in particular is especially fond of the amphibians, even going so far as to sport the name Frogboy on our forums and in other places. So, when I saw this video of a tiny, barely dime-sized frog called the Pumpkin Toadlet, trying to land a jump and failing spectacularly , I felt compelled to s

Retro Game Collector Accused of Selling Intricate Forgeries in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

You've heard of art forgeries, you probably remember forging a parent's signature on a failed test, but... PC video game forgeries? That's different. Or, perhaps it's not so unlike art forgery (though certainly much less lucrative). Retro video games that have gone out of print are in high demand from an avid collector base. There's a robust and healthy community, one that was recently shaken when a discovery was made that one of its members had been sellin

Reply to Importing ship designs in Galactic Civilizations IV Stardock.net Forums

Hey there! I am just wanting to get a bit more clarity on your question to make sure I understand correctly what you're asking. Are you having trouble seeing the ships you've designed in your in-game shipyard once you've started playing? If that's what you're asking, you'll want to make sure that you're playing as the civilization for whatever ship style you've used as a base for your design. If you're having trouble finding your ship in the list, select the little person icon

Portal "demake" for the Nintendo 64 somehow works in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Maybe I've just been living under a rock, but I've never heard the term "demake" before today when I stumbled across an article talking about Portal being on the Nintendo 64. Yes, you read that right - it isn't made to look like the N64, but is actually for the N64. A demake is a video game remake that's on an older platform or converts the game to an older graphical or gameplay style. Valve's Portal game was released on 2007 an
