If there's one thing that prompts firey discussion in the PC gaming community, it's Denuvo. The storied anti-tamper software has consistently been accused of tanking players' performance, even if we're still light on verifiable data to back these claims up. I remember the Resident Evil Village debate back in the day, and I also remember the celebratory comments that flooded our Facebook post confirming that Capcom had eventually removed it. A quick glance at any forum post on Denuvo is pretty harrowing, but product manager Andreas Ullmann is determined to put a stop to it.

Who are the Black Ops 6 Operators? While the Gulf War may be the setting for the latest Call of Duty game, there’s domestic conflict bubbling away. In Black Ops 6 there are two opposing factions of elite operatives: the Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One. The former will be familiar to returning Black Ops players, and the latter are the CIA team assigned to bring our heroes down.
