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. 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...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

Maybe there is something super interesting on my computer that could eat up my time." You briefly consider playing a game. After all, you needed to finish up the first Season in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 before Season 2 launched. Y...

    Wrestlin' Nation: Relive John Cena's Career in WWE 2K23

    See if you can do better than the wrestler himself.

    2K announced that their 2K Showcase "Never Give Up" mode for WWE 2K23 will let you relive some of the biggest points of John Cena's career. These moments tend to focus on the wrestling side of things, so you probably won't be reliving any aspects of his acting and musical careers, or his monumental work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

    What you will get to do is take on the role of John Cena's opponents in some...

    God of War Ragnarok Devs Didn't Know Allies Spoiling Puzzles Would Annoy You

    Sony's Santa Monica Studio called it an oversight.

    Developers working at Sony's Santa Monica Studio didn't realize that backseating companions would be annoying to players. None is the issue of backseating companions more evident than in Santa Monica's own God of War Ragnarök. Want a moment to look at a puzzle before attempting to solve it? Too bad because here comes Mimir or Atreus with an unsolicited hint.

    Earlier this week, MinnMax conducted an interview with God...

    Just give me time to breathe, PLEASE!

    Having NPCs verbalize in-game hints on how to solve puzzles really isn't a new idea. There have long been clues provided on puzzle solutions be they spoken by other game characters, provided in the environment, highlighted with some "sense" ability, or something else. However, it sure does seem like those hints are coming a lot earlier and a lot more often in recent releases.

    Take God of War Ragnarök as one example. One...

    Spider Defense Game Kill it with Fire Coming to VR

    Those with arachnophobia should just keep on walking.

    Kill it with Fire is a first-person game where you try to hunt down and kill virtual spiders. It came out in 2020 on PC, at least through Steam, and it's over the top action seemed to resonate well with fans. What if you took that same idea but now it's in virtual reality?
