Costume Quest’s story revolves around either a brother or sister (dependent on which character you choose) who must rescue their sibling, all while trying to quench the once-a-year sugar craving that occurs on All Hallows Eve. As a send up of the traditional RPG genre, Costume Quest sees the harmless little children transforming into large-scale representations of the costumes they are wearing to partake in some turn-based action. Say for example, a child is wearing a ghost costume that consists of a sheet with two holes poked in it....

According to a recent post on the Steamworks page, Valve has finally managed to confirm that Steam Deck will support anti-cheat software. There were notable backlashes against the device not long after it had been announced that some games would not be able to run on it, or at least not run properly, due to the handheld PC’s Linux-based operating system not being compatible with important software that many AAA titles use, with some instructions offered up for developers to help fix the issue....

Moreover, if someone attempted to make a purchase, they might do so using someone else’s credit card or PayPal account. Clearly this is a major security problem for Valve and Steam, and it’s no surprise that they took the service online....
