Michael Abrash Leaves Valve for Oculus VR
Michael Abrash, the man that was largely responsible for Valve's push into the realm of virtual reality, has left Valve and has now joined up at Oculus.
Abrash himself explains, through the Oculus blog, his reasons for joining with Oculus.

In response to the lawsuit made against the company by Gearbox Software, 3D Realms claims that it still has the right to complete and sell a game called Duke Nukem Survivor.

Microtransactions Made $352 Million on Consoles Last Year
According to research conducted by Superdata, microtransactions accounted for $352 million in sales in 2013 just on consoles.
