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...

    Fortnite Now Has Alien Invasions, Rick and Morty, and More


    The aliens aren't coming, they're already here.

    Fortnite lore is weird. Yes, the battle royale game does have lore and a lot of it. The latest story beat kicked off today with Chapter 2 Season 7. The latest season is entitled "INVASION" and yes, it involves aliens. It also includes a Rick and Morty crossover as well? There's probably more but it's hard to keep up with all of it.

    Anyway, according to today's announcement, "the fate of the island is...

  • GoldenEye Maps Recreated Fully in Far Cry 5

    GoldenEye Maps Recreated Fully in Far Cry 5

    It took Krollywood over two and a half years to finish.

    Though I have never used it myself, I have heard that the level editor for Far Cry 5 allows for some rather detailed creations. And while 1997's GoldenEye probably isn't the most detailed of games by today's standards, it's still mighty damn impressive that someone took the time to faithfully recreate the game's 18 maps, minus the two bonus levels.

    YouTube creator "Krollywood" spent the better part of the...

    Mysterious Battlefield Teaser Sent to Content Creators

    Huh... 3600 hours isn't a typical military time.

    Throughout the day, a handful of Battlefield-adjacent content creators were sent mysterious messages through their Twitter DMs. They were sent from the official Battlefield account to people like Lirik, Jackfrags, Westie, and DustelBox.

    On their own their message is disjointed and incomplete. When put together they paint a picture of a fallen nation, or species, caught up in a war they had no choice but to join. It's weird...

    by Shawn Zipay
    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?
