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.

    Even if you never stepped a single digital foot inside of Roblox, you have probably heard that "oof" sound somewhere and at some point in your life. It has been used in countless meme videos, as sound effects in various YouTube videos and Twitch streams,...

    Grand Theft Auto VI Details - Female Protagonist, Miami Setting, 2024 Release Window

    A new report offers a lot of fresh details on what Rockstar is doing with the next GTA.

    Grand Theft Auto V was first released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

That's about nine years without a new Grand Theft Auto title.
