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...

    Stalker 2 Renamed to Heart of Chornobyl to Reflect Ukrainian Spelling

    It's a small difference but it has big political connotations.

    Russian forces, under orders from a pathetic sort, continue their invasion of Ukraine while senselessly murdering civilians and soldiers alike. With their headquarters located in the Ukraine capital of Kyiv, Stalker 2 developers GSC Game World made a small change to the title for the upcoming Stalker 2 that has some significant political meaning.

    As GSC Game World continues just trying to survive, they did...

    That Elden Ring is so hot right now.

    If you have been playing Elden Ring, and chances are pretty good that you are given the massive sales figures for the game, you may have noticed something a little odd. Apparently, all of Elden Ring's main demigods and bosses have names that start with one of George R.R. Martin's initials.

    The best reviewed game in years is a huge seller. Surprised?

    Dr Disrespect and Twitch Settle Lawsuit

    A reason for his initial ban still wasn't provided.

    Guy Beahm, aka Dr Disrespect, was permanently banned from Twitch back in June 2020. At the time, nobody in the public had any knowledge as to why the two-timer was banned. Though we still don't know why he was permanently banned, we at least arrived at a point where we can safely say the battle between Twitch and Beahm has come to an end.

    In 2021, Beahm filed a lawsuit against Twitch claiming that the loss of his channel...

    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.
