Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

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...

    Conglomerate 451 left Early Access today. The official launch is available starting today for Steam, GOG, and other digital platforms. This launch includes a 15% discount from now through February 27. I say that the game is available "starting today" because so far it's available right now through Steam.

    Grand Theft Auto IV Returning to Steam Sans Multiplayer and Some Music

    The Complete Edition is anything but.

    Around the middle of January 2020, it was noticed that Grand Theft Auto IV was pulled from being sold on Steam. Nobody knew why and nobody from Rockstar was saying much. Naturally this caused a whole lot of speculation to fly around from anybody and everybody with an opinion.

    People had assumed that maybe it was going to become a Rockstar Games Launcher exclusive. Or it would be an Epic Games Store exclusive. Or maybe it would just...

  • New Shenmue III 'Story Quest Pack' DLC Arrives February 18

    New Shenmue III 'Story Quest Pack' DLC Arrives February 18

    More story for those that just can't get enough.

    The overarching story in the Shenmue franchise may not be completed for a little while still. Heck, it may not ever be completed since it seems the fate of this franchise perpetually hangs by a thread.

    Shenmue III only took players to maybe Chapter 8 or 9 of a planned 11 chapter story. If nothing else, fans should be thankful that series creator Yu Suzuki scaled back the scope of the franchise. It was initially slated to...
