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.

    Battlefield Teams Get Major Overhaul from EA

    EA says they are restructuring its development teams as it looks to "grow Battlefield."

    Battlefield 2042 is a bad game and you should not buy it. That seems to be the prevailing thought from most fans who have played the game for any length of time since its release just a couple of days back. It's a game that is full of bugs, barren maps, idiotic Specialists, a huge focus on vehicular combat, and more missing "legacy" features than you can shake a stick at....

    Battlefield 2042 Update 3 Changelog

    A changelog that rivals the length of a CVS Pharmacy receipt.

    Battlefield 2042 is in a sad state, even following the release of Update #2 just last week. We all knew that Update #3 was coming and that it would be far more substantial than Update #2 was. Today, DICE released the changelog for Battlefield 2042 Update #3 and it is a long one.

    The length of this changelog almost makes you think that maybe this game shouldn't have been released when it was. And you know what?...

    What Are the Best CS:GO Teams in the World?


    What is the mark of a truly successful computer game? Most units sold? Biggest grossing franchise? Most dedicated fan following?

    However, the advent of eSports has taken gaming to a whole new level. With tournaments devoted exclusively to revealing the best...

    Valve Confirms There Won't be Steam Deck Exclusive Games

    Well, duh.

    In the newly updated FAQ page for their upcoming Steam Deck, Valve says that they are not interested in developers making Steam Deck exclusive titles. This startling revelation should really come as no surprise to anybody who has been paying attention to what the Steam Deck is for any length of time. It is, after all, merely a handheld PC.
