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...
 

900 People Laid Off Across Multiple PlayStation Studios

Multiple studios across all SIE regions impacted.

Sony just laid off about 900 people across multiple PlayStation studios around the world. These 900 or so laid off employees account for roughly 8% of the total workforce for Sony Interactive Entertainment.

President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, announced the layoffs to the public today. The public statement came after an email was sent to all employees informing them of the layoffs. From Ryan's...
 

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

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

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

The studio says that "global economic context, the challenges of our industry, and the comprehensive restructuring announced by Embracer have...
 

Microsoft Lays Off 1,900 People from Gaming Divisions

Impacted teams include Activision Blizzard, Xbox, and ZeniMax.

Layoffs are happening again within Microsoft as roughly 1,900 employees are being let go. The initial report comes from an IGN report that says the layoffs hit Microsoft owned Activision Blizzard, Xbox, and ZeniMax.

  • Dinos vs Robots Fest Announced for Steam

    Dinos vs Robots Fest Announced for Steam

    You think Valve is just using a dartboard at this point for new Fest ideas?

    Valve just passed along word that the next Steam Fest will begin next week on February 26th. From the 26th through to March 4th at 10AM (PT), Steam's Dinos vs. Robots Fest will be live.

    This Fest will once again include a full week of discounts, demos, streams, and more on all games related to dinosaurs, games with robots, and maybe even some games with dinosaurs and robots.

  • Don't Be Fooled, The Day Before is Not back on Steam

    Don't Be Fooled, The Day Before is Not back on Steam

    The new listing looks to be an even bigger scam than the legit game.

    You may have been informed via various social channels that The Day Before snuck its way back on to Steam today. From all outward appearances, the page looks to be a copy of the legitimate listing for The Day Before, at least before it was pulled from all storefronts and a bunch of drama ensued.

    A "new" Steam listing for The Day Before popped up a few hours ago on the Valve run storefront....

    The 'Valve Prism' VR Headset is Fake

    Stop believing everything you see on the Internet.

    The Internet did that thing again where they latched onto a clear hoax as if it were real. Someone put up a website for a "Valve Prism" virtual reality headset earlier today and tried to pass it off as a legitimate device from Valve. Except it's fake. It's not real. You all got bamboozled.

    At a glance, the website seems convincing enough. It depicts various renders, fluff words, and impressive technical specs...

    Pirates vs. Ninjas Fest is Live Now on Steam

    Vote with your wallets in this ever ongoing debate.

    The latest Steam Fest to grace your eye holes here in the year two thousand and twenty-four focuses on an age-old debate: Pirates vs. Ninjas. Do you prefer hunting for booty or stealthily stabbing some booty? That seems to be the question you'll have to answer for yourself in the Pirates vs. Ninjas Fest going on right now through Steam.

    Half-Life 2 RTX Trailer Shows Off a Moody Ravenholm

    The fan-made project is being created using RTX Remix.

    Nvidia took a bit of time away from announcing new video cards today to talk about the upcoming beta release of their RTX Remix tool. RTX Remix will allow mod makers to "remix a compatible, classic game" with fancy ray tracing and other Nvidia technologies. Though the public beta won't be out until January 22nd for RTX Remix, some modders were granted special early access to the tool.

    One of those mod groups...

  • Steam Sets New Concurrent User Record Just Because They Could

    Steam Sets New Concurrent User Record Just Because They Could

    Steam is off to a strong start in 2024.

    You would think that new concurrent user records might have been set during the big Steam Winter Sale, which ended just earlier this week. You would think that, but apparently you would be wrong. Instead, a new concurrent user record was set by Steam on a weekend in which there are no sales, no Steam Fests, or really anything else truly notable going on.

    On the morning of January 7, 20224, Steam set a new concurrent user record....

    Make virtual money by spending real money.

    We are less than a week into 2024 and the dust has barely had time to settle on the Steam Winter Sale 2023. Valve cares not for that as they have just sent out the announcement for their next Steam Fest.

    On January 8, 2024, the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest will kick off. It will offer a week's worth of discounts, demos, streams, and more on all games "centered entirely around a player's earning power." Valve mentions...

  • Steam No Longer Supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

    Steam No Longer Supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

    If you haven't moved on, it's long past time you did.

    Microsoft stopped officially supporting Windows 7 for regular users in 2020 and Windows 8.1 support ended in 2023. At best, you've had a year to update to a newer version of Windows. At worst, you've had four years. You should have moved to Windows 10 or Windows 11 by now if you are online at all with those operating systems. Years of no security updates is bad enough, but this week it just got worse.

  • Poll: What is 2024's Biggest Gaming Disappointment So Far?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    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?
