Capcom has added DRM (digital rights management) to Monster Hunter Rise‚ effectively removing its Steam Deck verification in the process. Players are not happy and refund requests are also being rejected by Valve despite the issue.

NR spoke with military and foreign-policy pros about the renowned paper’s credulous treatment of Hamas.

It was worth a shot‚ but Republican voters still haven’t quit on Donald Trump.

Instead of halting a rival’s economic activity‚ restrictions like China’s on gallium and America’s on chip designs might actually accelerate it.
