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.

    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.

    More fun

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

    Star Citizen: Squadron 42 is Once Again Delayed

    No beta, no alpha, no end in sight.

    It seems as though another year will pass without so much as a new glimpse at Squadron 42, the single player component for Star Citizen from Cloud Imperium Games. CIG showed off its revised roadmap last week and with it came a full deletion of any Squadron 42 beta.

    Chris Roberts, the founder of CIG and Star Citizen creator, told donators that they shouldn't expect to see a release date for the game anytime soon. In fact, the last time...

  • Ways Gaming and Gambling Are Connected

    Ways Gaming and Gambling Are Connected

    Gaming and gambling are very similar, so similar that the industry is using these two terms interchangeably on many occasions. However, they have one big difference—gaming relies on skill, while gambling relies on chance. But how similar these activities really are?


    History of gambling and gaming

    Some of that is reflected in Valve's end of the year "Best Of" list for Steam. With gaming still being big in 2020, here are just a few of...

    Duplicate items to your heart's desire.

    The 1.06 update for Cyberpunk 2077 rolled out less than a day ago now. With it comes just a couple of fixes. One of the fixes addresses the issue of save files hitting an 8MB limit which would then cause the save to become corrupt.

    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.
