The Sims 4 is getting on a bit these days, and, as regular players will know, the whole thing – which includes over 70 bits of DLC piled onto the base game over the last 10 years – is starting to feel a bit creaky. And that’s something EA has finally acknowledged, confirming it’s […]

It’s easy to […]
With gaming’s internet usage climbing, how do internet providers keep up?
When Modern Warfare 3 released last year, it pulled in some serious numbers for internet service providers (ISPs).
