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...

    Death Stranding Director's Cut Announcement Has Major Metal Gear Vibes

    Norman Reedus is still working out how to do the box thing.

    Hideo Kojima made a special appearance on Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live event today. I mean, is that really a surprise to anybody?

    Hail to the king, baby!

    Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games released a new gameplay trailer for Evil Dead: The Game during the Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live event. This wouldn't be an Evil Dead experience if they couldn't get Bruce Campbell on board, but they thankfully did just that. His likeness and voice will be a big part of the game as he once again portrays the evil killing, chainsaw wielding, one line speaking Ash Williams.

    CD Projekt Red Reveals Severity of Hack

    They revealed this while everyone was busy watching Summer Game Fest.

    Right in the middle of the Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live, CD Projekt Red took to Twitter to reveal just how severe the cyberattack was against their studio. Yeah, they actually did it when everyone was distracted elsewhere, perhaps in an effort to minimize the attention brought to it. I can't say that did them a whole lot of good though.

    Despite their efforts, CDPR says that they were unable to contain...
