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.

    Ubisoft Postpones Plan to Decommission Old Games

    You can still play these old Ubisoft games, at least for now.

    In July, Ubisoft updated their list of decommissioned games to add 15 titles that would soon have their online services turned off. At the time, it was also said that access to several pieces of downloadable content would no longer be accessible by players. There was also a worry that at least one game, Assassin's Creed Liberation HD wouldn't be accessible at all, but Ubisoft made a correction on that one to say the game...

Well, VGC is back again with another hot Konami rumor that may or may not pan out. Why report on these at all? Because if I have to suffer through this nonsense, then so do you.

    Ho boy...

    Those of you with Xbox Live Gold are getting another mix of games for September 2022 that they can "freely" add to their game collections. Microsoft says that these games are typically valued at $66.96 (USD), but let's just say that value is rather subjective when it comes to the past several months of Games with Gold titles.

    These titles will start to be offered starting on September 1. They include Gods Will Fall, Double Kick Heroes, Thrillville,...

    Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is Out Now

    Remade from the UFO up.

    Today sees the release of Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. This is said to be "a completely remade" release of the classic action game where you are a disgruntled alien wreaking havoc on humans. While this is said to be a "remake" I think this is more akin to a remaster given that it plays identical to the original release, bugs and all. At this point, publishers and developers calling things remakes, remasters, or re-whatevers are so muddied...

    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.
