Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Duke Nukem Forever, 14 years in development, sits atop the Steam chart for the week ending Monday, June 13 and slides into fifth on both Direct2Drive and GamersGate, while Modern Warfare 2 is bolstered by discount sales.
Duke Nukem Forever, finally clear of a turbulent 14-year development cycle, was far better received on PC than its troubled console counterparts.
Elsewhere, The Witcher 2's sprawling adventure basks in ongoing popularity: it is Direct2Drive's best-seller and was beaten to number one on Good Old Games only by its budget-priced predecessor.
Space Pirates and Zombies continues its mastery of the Impulse chart, while Pride of Nations takes top spot at strategy specialists GamersGate.
