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...

    Hitman Delayed Until 2016

    Surprise (ok, not really), the new Hitman game has been delayed until early 2016. The news comes to us from the official Hitman website.
    It’s safe to say HITMAN is the biggest venture we’ve ever undertaken at Io-Interactive. Not just in terms of scope and ambition but also in terms of the size of the game world itself. The playable area and density of our locations goes beyond anything we’ve built before. We’re striving to create a series of living, breathing worlds in those locations

    The Best Mega Man Game Ever is Coming to the PlayStation Store

    Capcom announced today that Mega Man Legends, the greatest Mega Man game ever created, is finally coming to the PlayStation Store on September 29. I know I say a lot of nonsense here, but trust me when I say that every "normal" Mega Man game sucks and that this game is great, and you should totally buy it when it comes out. I don't even care if you own a compatible system, just buy it.

    I'm serious. This and the sequel are literally the only two Mega Man games I like.

    RSI's Response to Derek Smart's Lawyer is Simply Wonderful

    Derek Smart, a self-proclaimed "game developer" and long time game industry nuisance, decided to go after Roberts Space Industries, the studio behind Star Citizen. To make a long story short, Derek Smart backed Star Citizen at the $250 (USD) tier way back before its popularity took off. Smart then canceled his pledge and his RSI account was deactivated, allegedly against his wishes. The refund notification he received was clearly stated under section five of the Kickstarter rules that ...
