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...

  • Diretide Makes Surprise Return to Dota 2 After Seven Years

    Diretide Makes Surprise Return to Dota 2 After Seven Years

    You could say that it's back from the dead.

    Back in the far off time of 2013, Dota 2 had a special Halloween event called Diretide. It was fairly popular back in 2012 and the community had clamored, to put it nicely, for it to return in 2013. Since then begging for its return has become a bit of a meme with the community. Alas, some memes do become reality and here in 2020, where literally anything is possible and probable, Diretide has made its return once more.

    The main...

  • Far Cry 6 Delayed Until After March 2021

    Far Cry 6 Delayed Until After March 2021

    Pushed into next fiscal year.

    Far Cry 6 has been delayed until the next fiscal year for Ubisoft. In its quarterly earnings report, development on the game was revealed to be impacted by the dreaded COVID-19. Both Far Cry 6 and the ironically named Rainbow Six Quarantine were moved to Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which begins after March 2021 for Ubisoft.

    As you can safely assume, this places the release of Far Cry 6 anywhere between April 2021 and March 2022.

    Xbox Games with Gold for November 2020

    Well, it's maybe not the biggest month they've had.

    The "free" games coming in November 2020's Games with Gold have been announced by Microsoft. Given that the new consoles are launching in just a couple of weeks, you would expect maybe something more grand for November's offerings. However... that's not really the case here, at least in my humble opinion. That's not to say that the games are bad, but the real stand out here seems to be LEGO Indiana Jones, an Xbox 360 game,...

    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?
