Next week, Valve will push Dota Underlords out the door as it leaves Early Access and with that the first full gameplay Season will begin.

Recently we put up an article highlighting a possible issue with how Valve were counting Steam Play Proton sales, here's a full correction and more information.

Unfortunately, in any online game (especially a free one) you're going to get many forms of abusive behaviour. One such problem in Dota 2 is 'smurf' accounts and Valve are attempting to deal with it.

Back in August 2018, Valve announced their new Steam Play feature with the Proton software in the Linux Steam client to play Windows-only Steam games on Linux. A little note about what platform is counted for sales.

Does this seem familiar? You would be right. In the last week, both Steam and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hit new records for users online and they've been broken yet again.

Even though it's been around since 2012, the popularity of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive continues as it today hit a new all-time high for players online.

CodeWeavers and Valve today released the big one many have been waiting for! Proton 5.0 for Steam Play is now live.

One of my all-time favourite first-person shooters, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is about to tell naughty players to sort their attitude out.

Valve are talking a lot more lately, actually telling us what's been going on and what some of their plans are. In their latest blog post, they had plenty to share.

Today, Valve announced that Dota Underlords will be leaving Early Access and officially releasing on February 25.

Tonight, Valve will be releasing a documentary of the recent The International 2019 tournament, focused on the Grand Finals.

Valve have made their original Half-Life titles all the way up to Half-Life 2: Episode Two free to play for a few months.

Android Police have an article up mentioning that Google is reportedly working on getting Steam working officially and supported on Chrome OS.

Recently, a Valve developer revived steamcompmgr (the SteamOS compositing and window manager) and renamed it to Gamescope. After writing about it yesterday here on GOL, they've now given some more info on what it actually does.

Valve are definitely up to something. For a little while, Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais has been tweaking steamcompmgr, the SteamOS session compositing window manager.

Valve have announced that Dota Underlords, their auto-battle strategy game will get the first proper Season by the end of February, which means it will leave Early Access.

Valve have announced that they're going to be giving Soundtracks their own special section on Steam instead of them being a generic DLC listing.

LunchHouse Software have announced a sort-of documentary focusing on a cancelled Valve game, apparently it was going to be called F-STOP/Aperture Camera and it was a prequel to Portal.

Half-Life: Alyx is set to release in March this year, and while we don't yet know what exactly is happening with Linux support it's still an exciting time.

Another year is almost up, it's getting chilly and Valve's annual Steam Winter Sale has now gone live so go warm yourself up with a toasty new game.
