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...

The deal sees Microsoft picking up the Call of Duty and Candy Crush developer for a staggering $68.7 billion (USD). Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spilled the beans in a new posting at the Xbox Wire earlier today.

    This deal seems to have been made at the "perfect" time, at least for Microsoft....

    Based off of true events.

    Ubisoft has partnered with Pathé to create a VR title where they will be tasked with putting out fires at the famous Notre-Dame cathedral. The game is set to be called Notre-Dame on Fire. How very on the nose of them.

    Phil Spencer Shares Thoughts on PlayStation Game Pass Competitor

    "It makes sense."

    Recently, rumors started to circulate around the Internet that Sony is working on a PlayStation service that would be functionally similar to Xbox Game Pass. The service, reportedly codenamed Spartacus, would allegedly replace PlayStation Now.

    Spartacus would allow PlayStation owners to pay a monthly fee for access to a library of classic and new PlayStation titles. There would be three tiers to this new program, with the base offering the same...

    Are there games better than video games?


    Video games are a great form of entertainment, and really not many would disagree. However, the online world is full of other games that, although not action-packed, with a whole well-developed narrative and carefully created characters, are still great fun. Have you ever wondered what you can play instead of video games, especially on mobile devices?


    Where to play online games?

    It’s easy to say that online games are great fun, but where to find them?...

    Preview: The Anacrusis Early Access Release

    What to expect from this Early Access release of the latest four-player cooperative shooter.

    Stray Bombay has been hard at work developing what could be the next true successor to Left 4 Dead with their upcoming cooperative PvE title, The Anacrusis. While I'm sure they want to avoid those sorts of direct comparisons, it is a little difficult to avoid them given how much of the same DNA is shared between the two franchises. Hell, one of Stray Bombay's founders, Chet Faliszek, used to...

    NewsBits: Rollback Edition

    Oops.

    You ever have think, "Hey, it's 1AM, let's do something stupid!" Because let me tell you, I sure as hell had that thought last night. Let's just say mistakes, actually several of them, were made. One such mistake was the fact that I neglected to perform a full site backup before I proceeded to do several more stupid things. This led to just being unable to do anything with the server.

    My plan was to restore a backup from earlier in the week. I decided,...

    What Are the Benefits of Playing Video Games?


    When people think of video games and the act of playing them, they do not normally do so with the notion that there are benefits to playing them in mind. This point of view is easy to understand though as many might see someone who plays video games a lot as unproductive. However, video games are just like any other entertainment, such as movies, TV and even gambling. There is no doubt that online casinos are growing, and as they do, more people are turning to play and are discovering the...

    Battlefield 2042 Subreddit May Close Due to Toxic Fanbase

    Gamers and toxicity, name a more iconic duo.

    Battlefield 2042 is a broken mess of a game. We all know this. Nothing has changed since our review for Battlefield 2042 went up in December. This is largely due to the fact that the development teams at DICE went on holiday break for a couple of weeks, like most of us probably did for Christmas and New Years.

    After all, the developers did work for a long time on Battlefield 2042 regardless of the current state of the game or...

    First up, Konami is set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Castlevania franchise. There's almost something poetic about celebrating a game series about blood-sucking demons by selling jpgs...

    An ever-opportunistic Geoff Keighley announced the return earlier today.

    Shortly after news started to break about E3 cancelling their in-person event for 2022, and possibly being cancelled altogether, Geoff Keighley jumped on to Twitter to tell everyone that the Summer Game Fest will return this year.

    He made the quick reveal on Twitter, having only posted a picture of the Summer Game Fest logo accompanied by the words "returns Summer 2022."
