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.

    The Tomorrow Children to Make Surprise Return

    The long-forgotten PS4 exclusive is set to make a comeback.

    In September 2016, a unique and stylized game for the PlayStation 4 was released. It was called The Tomorrow Children, it offered both a paid and free-to-play option, and it had a very short life. The game lasted just 13 months before the servers were turned off in November 2017. Five years later, it looks like The Tomorrow Children is ready to return.

    Q-Games has acquired the rights from publisher Sony Interactive...

    Fortnite Pulls Travis Scott Dance Emote

    Epic did not provide a reason why, but we've got a pretty good idea.

    Yes, it seems as though the PC version will not have an uncapped framerate but will instead be limited to 60FPS. Hopefully this is just...

    Just over 16 years since the release of Age of Empires III, the Age of Empires IV has finally arrived, with the general consensus being that it was well worth the wait.

Still, few would deny that a fourth installment to the wildly popular real-time strategy series was due.

    Now in the hands of Relic Entertainment, and co-developed by World’s Edge,...
