Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    September 2022 Games with Gold Titles Revealed

    Ho boy...

    Those of you with Xbox Live Gold are getting another mix of games for September 2022 that they can "freely" add to their game collections. Microsoft says that these games are typically valued at $66.96 (USD), but let's just say that value is rather subjective when it comes to the past several months of Games with Gold titles.

    These titles will start to be offered starting on September 1. They include Gods Will Fall, Double Kick Heroes, Thrillville,...

    Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is Out Now

    Remade from the UFO up.

    Today sees the release of Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. This is said to be "a completely remade" release of the classic action game where you are a disgruntled alien wreaking havoc on humans. While this is said to be a "remake" I think this is more akin to a remaster given that it plays identical to the original release, bugs and all. At this point, publishers and developers calling things remakes, remasters, or re-whatevers are so muddied...

An official announcement of the game, learned to be a prequel, was not made at the time.

    Today, 2K and Hangar 13 confirm that a new Mafia game is in development at Hangar 13. Unfortunately, the short...

    That Terrible Netflix Resident Evil Series is Already Canceled

    This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise.

    After just one season, the Resident Evil Netflix series has been canceled. The first, and only, eight episodes made their initial debut on July 14. This report came first from Deadline.

    The Resident Evil series did debut in the top 3 rankings on Netflix, but quickly fell off the charts after its third week. The series was panned by critics and fans of the Resident Evil franchise alike. It earned a pitiful 55% critical consensus...
