The Autumn Sales is currently taking place on Steam as I type this out, so it's best you scurry over to the Steam application and check out the sales while you can... otherwise, you're missing out on great deals. Speaking of great deals, Sony apparently didn't sweeten the pot enough to buy back Crash Bandicoot from Activision, thus cementing in stone that Crash will not be a PS4 mascot this generation around. And last but not least, the Steam Machine has been priced at $499, the exact same price as the Xbox One, but double the performance. These stories and more in this November 30th, 2013 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
