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.

    Maneater Gets Ray Tracing Update on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

    This news goes alongside word of the game being played by over 5 million people.

    Tripwire Interactive has a two-fold announcement for Maneater fans today. First is word that the action-RPG where you play as a shark has hit the 5 million player mark. It's probably important to keep in mind that it's not that they sold 5 million copies of the game, just that 5 million people have played the game. Maneater was, after all, one of the free PlayStation Plus titles for January 2021.

    Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is Once Again Playable on PC

    Though it's still a buggy mess.

    Last week, Rockstar games pulled Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition from PC. The games were first made inaccessible from purchase and play on the Rockstar Games Launcher after Rockstar took the servers down for "maintenance" on November 11. The severs continued to be down through November 12, which left those that purchased the game on PC unable to play the games they paid for.

    Maybe just don't cheat in the first place.

    Activision has recently updated their security enforcement policy to say that any "extreme or repeated violations" may result in a permanent suspension from every Call of Duty title. Oh yes, this most certainly includes those Call of Duty titles that aren't even out yet but we all know are coming because Call of Duty is inevitable.

    New Duplication Glitch Forces Amazon to Disable New World Economy

    This is the second time now this has happened.

    New World from Amazon Games has had its fair share of ups and downs since its release. One of the downs came in the form of a gold duplication glitch that was fairly quickly fixed by Amazon Games. Today, a new exploit was found that resulted in some exploiters pulling in some big monetary gains.

    This new exploit allowed players to duplicate endgame trophies. These trophies could then be sold off at the in-game auction house...
