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...

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    See Crysis Remastered Running at 8K in Latest Trailer

    Some would argue that's just too many K's.

    If you have been sitting on the fence about the upcoming Crysis Remastered, then perhaps today's massive trailer will sway you. I say it's massive because I'm talking about the size, not the length. We're about to experience an 8K trailer that shows off comparisons between the 2007 Crysis and the upcoming Crysis Remastered.

    Crysis Remastered is supposed to take advantage of current-gen hardware in order to bring "a range...

    Borderlands 3 is Getting a Free Next-gen Upgrade

    Plus four-player splitscreen.

    Borderlands 3 is the latest title to join the ever growing list of titles that are going to offer a free next-gen upgrade to existing players. The upgrade to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will include 4K resolutions at up to 60 frames-per-second. This is a much higher resolution and framerate than any current version of the game, including the PC in many cases.

    Sadly, this same promise of 4K and 60fps can't be made for the slightly less...

  • Watch Wannabe CSGO Cheaters Get Trolled by Fake Cheat Software

    Watch Wannabe CSGO Cheaters Get Trolled by Fake Cheat Software

    It's one of those "feel good" movies.

    Cheaters. We all hate them. If you ever played Counter-Strike over the many, many years that it's been around, you've probably encountered your fair share of cheaters big and small. We've all probably wanted to do something about it, but we've been at the mercy of anti-cheat software like VAC for ages now. What could we, a lowly player possibly do besides report and cross our fingers that the cheaters would eventually get caught?

    Sony is Hosting a Special PlayStation 5 Showcase on September 16

    It's about time.

    Now that Microsoft revealed their prices and availability dates for their Xbox Series X|S, it makes sense that Sony would quickly need to play catch up. Sure, Microsoft's hand was probably forced by those Xbox Series S rumors, but that's neither here nor there at this point.

    We expect that Sony will need to make an announcement about the prices and availability for their PlayStation 5 lineup. Without those things, Microsoft is busy eating Sony's lunch...

    Immortals Fenyx Rising Trailer and Gameplay Showcase

    Breath of the Greek mythology.

    Ubisoft showed off a bunch of new footage yesterday during their Ubisoft Forward event for Immortals Fenyx Rising. Yes, it looks a lot like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it's not Breath of the Wild. Got it? It's not, no matter how much it looks like it is in both appearance, visuals, and the variety of gameplay elements and puzzle solving techniques. It's totally its own thing.

    You play as Fenyx, a new winged demigod that is...

    Vaas Returns in Far Cry VR: Dive into Insanity

    Did I ever tell you...

    "The definition of insanity." That line is something that most everyone who has played through Far Cry 3 should know by heart now. Hell, you probably don't even need to have played the game to have seen or heard that "definition of insanity" line at this point. Regardless, Vaas and his own brand of insanity are back!... as a VR experience!

    Ubisoft confirmed the long-running rumor.

    Prince of Persia is back! Only it's not a sequel we're talking about here but rather a remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This full remake brings back the action-adventure that you knew before but gives it a fresh look and modern enhancements as remakes tend to do. This marks Ubisoft's first venture into the realm of remakes.

    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?
