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...

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 ...

    Yeah, maybe don't expect a new Titanfall game any time soon.

    Following up on a really brief rumor earlier today, comes confirmation that Respawn Entertainment is indeed working on a new Star Wars game. In fact, they're working on three new Star Wars titles.

    EA, Respawn, and Lucasfilm Games are teaming up to deliver three titles, all of which will be different gaming genres. Respawn founder Vince Zampella will oversee these three titles alongside Lucasfilm.

    The Final Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Trailer

    You don't want to miss this one.

    Square Enix just released the final trailer for Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin today, even though the game won't be out until March 18, 2022. It's a baffling choice to release the "final" trailer almost two months ahead of release, but with a game like this it seems to be about par for the course.

    For those of you who have forgotten, or simply don't remember, Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is that "chaos!"...

    Elden Ring is Still Difficult but Less Stressful for Players

    Enemies won't be any less difficult, but Elden Ring will be a bit less stressful for players than Dark Souls.

    FromSoftware's Yasuhiro Kitao took some time to speak at the Taipei Game Show about Elden Ring. We already learned from him that Elden Ring has gone gold, but there was a wealth of additional information shared.

    One of those nuggets of information is the fact that Elden Ring has been designed still be as challenging as previous FromSoftware games but will still...

    Hidden Deep is Now Available

    Just how many different phobias do you have?

    The one-man development studio that makes up Cogwheel Software just released a new sci-fi thriller, Hidden Deep. Today's release is a Steam Early Access release, but it seems to be quite polished from what I've seen so far. Still, the game will continue to receive new content updates and patches as the Early Access rolls on.

    The core idea of the game is that you are controlling a recon team sent into a claustrophobic underground...

    Steam Deck Now Supports Easy Anti-Cheat

    Valve has been working with Epic to get Easy Anti-Cheat working on Steam Deck.

    Valve continues to address some outstanding concerns concerning the Steam Deck. One of those issues is the fact that some of the most popular anti-cheat services didn't exactly play nice with Proton or the Steam Deck. However, thanks to efforts by Valve and other major players in the industry, the two most popular anti-cheat services are now capable of playing nice with Proton and the Steam Deck.

    Modders Get Final Fantasy 7 Running at 60FPS After 25 Years

    A major breakthrough on the mod scene just took place to offer silky smooth gameplay.

    Roughly a quarter of a century ago (good God), Final Fantasy VII was released on the PC platform. However, the PC port of the game ran at just 15 frames per second.

    While a lot of the action and animation in Final Fantasy VII for the original PlayStation release was also at a sub-optimal framerate, there is one thing the OG had going for it that the PC version lacked: The menus all ran...

    DICE Disables Official XP Farm in Battlefield 2042

    How it was ever approved in the first place is beyond me.

    Alongside yesterday's update for Battlefield 2042 came the usual new rotation of official Battlefield Portal experiences. One of those officially created and promoted modes was called Zombie Survival. In this mode, you were facing off against hordes of A.I. controlled "zombies" that were equipped only with knives. Your goal was to survive for as long as possible.

    There was just one problem: This mode made...

    Best RPG Slot Games


    For decades, the element of pure randomness has characterised slot machines. It has been a case of hitting the spin and waiting for the lucky turn! However, young gamers are progressively demanding a more complex gaming experience. Software developers have equally responded by creating stimulating games with immersive storylines and compelling level-up approaches. The story-based and progression orientation to games creation has led to the rising popularity of role-playing slot games or...

    The First Batch of Games to be Steam Deck Verified are Here

    The first batch of many, many more to come.

    With the Steam Deck set to begin shipping by the end of February, we sort of expected that we would soon see the first games to be Steam Deck Verified. Lo and behold, those first games have started to crop up.

    While these games may not show their Verified status on their Store pages (though there is a workaround, which we talk about below), the SteamDB website is able to track these verifications as they happen. Right now, the...

    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?
