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.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    Everspace 2 Early Access Hits January 18

    No longer competing with Cyberpunk 2077.

    One of the games that was impacted by the new release date for Cyberpunk 2077 was Everspace 2. Rockfish Games had decided to delay the Early Access release of their space shooter by about a month to avoid competing with the mega-hype train that was Cyberpunk's release.

    Today, we now know that the Early Access release is happening on January 18, 2021.

    The Early Access release will be coming to both Steam and GOG.com...

    Respawn Working on a New IP

    As spotted from a now deleted job opening.

    EA Respawn seems to be working on a brand new IP. We aren't 100% sure on this one, but if a now deleted job listing is to be believed, they are doing exactly as we suggest in the headline.

    The job opening in question was first spotted by VGC and has since been deleted. The listing did specifically mention that they were forming a small team in order to develop a "brand new IP." Details beyond this were in short supply....

    Minecraft Earth to Close in June

    A collaborative game plus COVID are a dangerous mix.

    The augmented reality game for mobile devices, Minecraft Earth, is set to shut down in June 2021. The game was a bit like Pokemon Go but instead of catching cute creatures, you would come together as a community to build structures in the real world out of virtual Minecraft blocks. You would obviously not see them in the real world but you could easily see them through your phone's screen.

    Minecraft Earth was first announced...

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is Somehow Steam's GOTY

    I mean... I guess?

    2020 is the year that just won't let up. This time, we're being told that the 2020 Game of the Year at The Steam Awards was none other than Red Dead Redemption 2. That is surprising, to say the least, when its competition for the year included games like Hades, Death Stranding, Fall Guys, and even DOOM Eternal. But it is what it is and it is a GOTY winner when all is said and done.

    Do keep in mind that this game was voted on by Steam users to be their...

    The Binding of Isaac: Repentance Expansion Due in March

    New year, new delays.

    Here we are in 2021 and already the delay announcements are hitting. Fortunately for fans, this delay announcement is a bit on the shorter side. Developer Edmund McMillen says that despite the desire to get The Binding of Isaac: Repentance out in December 2020, he needs some extra time for polish. As such, the game won't see a release until March 31, 2021.

    The expansion has been in development for roughly three years now. Maybe a three month delay...

    New S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 First-Person Teaser Trailer

    Gameplay?

    This isn't quite the gameplay footage you were looking for, but it is presented in the first-person perspective. That's got to count for something, right? A new teaser trailer for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was just released. With it comes a fresh look at the Zone and the eerie atmosphere that surrounds it.

    We last got a look at this title back in July during the Xbox Games Showcase event. The latest trailer shows off probably just as much as that one did but this time...

  • Why Developers Should Add Gambling to Video Games

    Why Developers Should Add Gambling to Video Games

    Gaming and gambling are more connected than ever before. Nevertheless, many developers still don’t add gambling to their games. We believe this is a problem and that they should do the opposite or better said the right thing. Video games can feature a full or partial online casino and related casino games which brings a few perks.

    The first and the most important reason why developers should add casinos or at least matching games to their creations...

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
