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.

    Epic Abandons Fortnite's Story Mode and 'Free-to-Play' Plans

    Fans and hopefuls have little reason for celebration today.

    In 2011, Fortnite: Save the World was revealed to the world during the Spike Video Game Awards.

  • Discord Distances Itself from Gaming

    Discord Distances Itself from Gaming

    Discord is now your place to talk.

    Discord was built upon the idea of bringing gamers of all types together. It's certainly a big factor that prompted my friends and I to make the move to Discord from TeamSpeak and Ventrilo however long ago it's been now. We were a group of friends that played a lot of games together. We didn't like the quality of the service we were paying monthly for from the alternatives and decided to give Discord a try. We never looked back.

    The Steady Shift towards Online Gambling


    Over the years, casinos have made major strides towards becoming more mainstream. This includes the addition of features like touch-screen controls, or even just playing a game for fun. While it is true that you can play a game without the financial sting of losing, you also do not get that thrill of a big payout should you win.

    The same idea can be applied to video games. There are tons of games that you can play just for fun. After all, video games are meant to bring enjoyment...
