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.

In short, the game contained an Easter egg depicting Chinese president Xi Jinping as the Winnie-the-Pooh looking fellow that he is. China got real mad, especially since the game was...

    OpenCritic Adds Warning to Cyberpunk 2077 Reviews

    A first for the review aggregate website.

    Review aggregate website, OpenCritic, has added a warning to their Cyberpunk 2077 page. The warning is focused mainly on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game. This is due largely to the fact that while the game is a performance-lacking and bug-filled mess on all platforms, it is especially bad on the last-generation of consoles.

    A spiritual successor to Dead Space?

    Dead Space may be dead and buried, especially since EA hasn't done anything with the IP in years and the studio that developed the games, Visceral, was shut down ages ago by EA. However, just because Dead Space is no more, doesn't mean that its spirit cannot live on.

    Back in June of 2019, it was revealed that Dead Space creator, Glen Schofield, was hired by PUBG Corp. Schofield was brought on to lead a new development studio named Striking...
