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...

  • The Culling is Back for a Third Attempt at Bad Ideas

    The Culling is Back for a Third Attempt at Bad Ideas

    Don't call it a comeback. No, really, don't.

    The Culling has seen its fair share of ups and even more downs. It has been created and killed off twice already in various forms. Now it's back for a third go, starting with a release on the Xbox One. A PC release of this iteration of the game is also planned, but I cannot imagine too many people will care.

    The first Culling was a battle royal game that set itself apart from the other battle royal games thanks to its focus...

    Remastered Release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 Announced

    Tony Hawk is getting remastered... again.

    It has happened once before already and it will more than likely happen again in the future. However, in the here and now, it's happening for the second time. If you correctly guessed that the first two Tony Hawk games were getting remastered yet again, you are either a genius or you read the headline.

    Back in 2012, we reviewed the first attempt at a remaster for the first few Tony Hawk titles. It was called Tony Hawk's Pro Skater...

    Get those wallets ready.

    A time honored consumer tradition is waiting until the right moment to spend a lot of money on items they wanted but did not want to pay full price for. An equally time honored tradition, at least among PC gamers is having the dates of the Steam Summer Sale leaked well ahead of time.

  • Just a Reminder that Elder Scrolls VI Details are Still Many Years Away

    Just a Reminder that Elder Scrolls VI Details are Still Many Years Away

    In case that wasn't obvious.

    Bethesda's Pete Hines confirmed again this weekend that any details for The Elder Scrolls VI are still many years away. This was completely expected after Bethesda's first reveal from E3 2018 that said it was coming after Starfield. As Starfield is also still quite a ways away, this should come as no surprise to anybody.

    Starfield itself was only briefly discussed back at E3 2018. We did not know much about the game then. In fact, we know about...
