TimeGate Studios was an American video game developer based in Sugar Land, Texas.

[2] The studio then began production on Section 8, a sci-fi first-person shooter that was released on the Xbox 360 and PC in September 2009.

In late 2012, TimeGate were involved in the development of the much-hyped science-fiction first-person shooter, Aliens: Colonial Marines.

However, due to troubled development, the game was released in a rushed, incomplete state and received mostly negative reviews.

[5] In 2013, it was announced that TimeGate was developing a new free-to-play game, titled Minimum, expected to be released at the end of the year.

[7] TimeGate Studios faced $7.35 million in damages and lost the license for Section 8 as part of a fraud suit between itself and SouthPeak.

SouthPeak countersued, claiming TimeGate hadn't invested enough of its own capital into the game's development, among other complaints.

In April 2013, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit filed to reverse and remand the prior March ruling, reinstating the arbitration award for SouthPeak.
