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...

    More Borderlands Movie Character Silhouette Reveals

    Maybe the entire film is a noir.

    Just two days back, Jamie Lee Curtis shared the first behind the scenes look at Lilith (played by Cate Blanchett) from the upcoming Borderlands film. There was no mistaking it, that sure looked like Lilith.

    Today, a whole bunch of additional silhouettes were released showing off other characters from the movie. We get a rough look at Florian Munteanu as Krieg, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, Kevin Hart as Roland,...

    Horizon Forbidden West Graphical Compromises for PS4 Version Detailed

    A cross-gen game has to make compromises somewhere.

    Horizon Forbidden West's game director Mathijs de Jonge recently spoke with Game Informer about all things Horizon. Part of the conversation focused on what cuts had to be made to the PlayStation 4 release of Horizon Forbidden West. As this is a cross-gen release from Sony, you knew that sacrifices had to be made somewhere for the previous gen.

    It's probably just a major update for Windows 10, not a new version.

    On June 24th, Microsoft will host a special event during which they will show off the "next generation of Windows."

    Now, before you go freaking out and thinking that they're coming out with Windows 11 or something like that, just relax. Microsoft said a while back that Windows 10 was the last version of Windows that they will release. Yes, this could have changed in the six years since they...

  • Battlefield Reveal on June 9

    Battlefield Reveal on June 9

    I bet there will be explosions.

    The official Battlefield Twitter announced earlier today that the big Battlefield reveal will take place on June 9 at 7AM (PT). Though according to Battlefield.com, that 7AM time is just when the countdown to the reveal will begin. When is the actual reveal time? Man, I don't know. Why they didn't just give us the time that the actual reveal will take place is beyond me.

    Will it be the same as the leaked trailer? Doubtful. Will it be a new...

    Last night, AMD announced its plans to release FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) starting on June 22. This new technology will act as a competitor to Nvidia's DLSS technology.
