Last year the US passed a law requiring either a sale or that the app be banned. This marks the third time that Trump has extended the deadline.Trump signed the executive order yesterday, which does raise the question of whether TikTok will ever be forced into the sale: under...

I love a good fishing game, which may be a controversial opinion for the PC Gamer team, but I stand by my convictions. Fishing is a nice, calming experience that gives me a desperately needed break from my regular horrifying and brutal games.
