    Steam will finally let you hide your questionable game purchases.

    Now that the feature’s out of beta, you can start marking games as private, which means your friends won’t spot them in your library or in their activity feeds. They won’t even know when you’re playing them.

    Aside from that, Steam is also rolling out a streamlined gifting process that allows you to gift games to multiple friends with one purchase.

    A Google Maps test shows where building entrances are.

    Android Police spotted the test in Google Maps version 11.17.0101, which could make it easier to find the entrances to large buildings. You can only see the entrances when you tap and zoom in on a building, but not every location — or device — has the feature yet.

    Apple’s FineWoven cases got a “frequently returned” label on Amazon.

    Amazon has applied the labels to the $59 FineWoven cases for the iPhone 15, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max, and prompts users to “check the product details and customer reviews” before buying.

    My colleague Allison Johnson pointed out just how bad the scratch-prone FineWoven cases are last year, and The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern recently wrote about how worn out her FineWoven case has gotten.

    Reddit will reportedly seek an up to $6.5 billion valuation when it goes public.

    That’s according to The Wall Street Journal, which says Reddit could shoot for a price range between $31 to $34 per share when launching its IPO. The $6.5 billion number is significantly lower than the more than $10 billion Reddit was valued at in 2021 following a round of funding.

    Fubo CEO calls the company’s sports streaming legal battle “a duel to the death.”

    Fubo sued Warner Bros. Discovery, ESPN, and Fox last month over their planned live sports streaming service. Here’s what Fubo CEO David Gandler had to say about the lawsuit during a conference call:

    This is a duel to the death. It has been when we started this company. We’re fighting for consumers. We’re fighting for our customers. We’re fighting for the tens of billions of dollars that are wasted annually on consumers paying for the same content multiple times. This is a very important process. We are sticking to our principles, to our guns. We are continuing to walk and chew gum at the same time, as you see in our numbers.
