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.

    A major update is now available for consoles and PC that boosts performance.

    Patch 7 for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released today. This update is a big one for those playing the game on consoles because Respawn says that the Performance mode for the game now offers a "solid 60 FPS," though it does come with a couple of caveats. Quality mode was also given some optimizations to boost and smooth over performance.

    One of the catches with hitting that 60FPS mark...

Volition went on to make several more games in the Descent franchise. Volition also created the PlayStation 2 RPG Summoner. They created Red Faction and several sequels. They also created the Saints Row franchise, up to and including the latest franchise reboot title, aptly named Saints...
