Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

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.

    There is a Kickstarter for a New Toejam & Earl Game

    I tend not to put up news on new Kickstarter campaigns since all too often people get burned by broken promises. However, I feel as though people would like to hear about the possibility of a new Toejam & Earl game. Yes, Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove has a Kickstarter campaign underway.


    So what’s this all about? My name is Greg Johnson, and I am one of the two original creators and owners of the Toejam and Earl games (just to be clear, Sega doesn't own it).

    A Look at There Came an Echo

    With the site down yesterday, I had some time to try out a few new games. One of those games was There Came an Echo, a strategy game that just happened to come out yesterday. What makes the game so unique? Well, you use your voice to issue commands to your team! Plus, if you ever wanted to boss around Wil Wheaton or Laura Bailey, just to name a few of the voice actors, now is your chance.

  • SCE Santa Monica Developer Threatens to Pull Ads and Review Copies Over Poor The Order: 1886 Reviews

    Reviews for The Order: 1886 haven't exactly been the highlight of the week for developers Ready at Dawn and SCE Santa Monica. The game has been panned from quite a few critics which has led to at least one developer at Sony's Santa Monica studio to speak out in anger.


    It really seems to be like his stipulation for obtaining review copies is "give us a good review or else." You cannot force or threaten critics and publications to lie to their audiences. Dean Rymer...

    by Shawn Zipay

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
