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...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

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?

    Battlefield 2042 Update 2 Changelog

    You can now use other weapons besides the PP-29!

    As promised, DICE rolled out Update #2 for Battlefield 2042 today. Though not as substantial as the upcoming Update #3, today's update introduces some very welcome adjustments.

    For instance, DICE has reduced the bullet spread on all weapons (except shotguns). This should mean that weapons beyond the PP-29 and SVK are actually viable to use now. I haven't tested them myself yet, but the reception to these initial adjustments...

    Halo Infinite's First Multiplayer Event Frustrates Fans

    Gated progression is the biggest issue upsetting fans.

    Halo Infinite's first event, Fracture: Tenrai, gives players a chance to earn some free rewards such as the samurai-looking Yoroi Armor. Unfortunately, fans are already running into issues with the way progress is gated.

    Fracture: Tenrai is a free event available to everyone playing this free-to-play release of the Halo Infinite multiplayer. There are 30 tiers of rewards to earn. Much like the much-criticized Battle...

    DICE Details Two Updates Worth of Battlefield 2042 Fixes

    The studio provides a roadmap of the next two updates.

    To say that Battlefield 2042 is in dire need of a lot of attention would be a severe understatement. This game launched in a far worse state than even the infamous Battlefield 4. To list every issue present with the release version of Battlefield 2042 would take far too long. Besides, I've already included several lists pointing out broken or missing features in previous news postings about the game since its release.

    Year 2 of Hitman 3 to Add Ray Tracing, PC VR, and More

    IO Interactive also hints at something major coming in Spring.

    Hitman 3 released way back on January 20, 2021 and since then IO Interactive has supported the title fairly regularly with content updates, mainly in the form of their "Seven Deadly Sins" motif. With the game's second year of existence rapidly approaching, IO Interactive seems to have no plans to slow down just yet.

    The studio says that Hitman 3's post-launch content will continue throughout 2022...

    Retire, Bobby.

    During a meeting with other senior managers and executives at Activision Blizzard, CEO Bobby Kotick said that he would consider leaving the company if he is unable to fix the issues that he helped to create. Kotick did seem to stop just short of saying that he would step down in the meeting that took place this past Friday. He merely left the door cracked open a bit if the issues weren't fixed "with speed."

    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?
