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...

    Battleborn Servers to Shut Down in January 2021

    I bet you thought this game shut down years ago.

    The good news is that Battleborn isn't dead. Who knew, right? The bad news is that it will be once January 2021 rolls around. 2K announced via Twitter that they will be deactivating the servers for Battleborn in a little over a year from now.

    They also pulled the game from every digital storefront they could. I'm sure the millions of you that were still on the fence about picking it up for a year full of fun and merriment...

    Valve dishes the details on October 2019's best new releases.

    It has to be better than Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5... right?

    It seems as though a little rumor of Tony Hawk's return to the gaming world resurfaced today.

    State of Decay 2 is Coming to Steam Next Year

    It's time again to survive the zombie apocalypse.

    In May 2018, State of Decay 2 was released for the Xbox One and through the Windows 10 Store. It was a decent game that was marred by some unfortunate issues both technical and with respect to gameplay. Even with some of those shortcomings at launch, the game reviewed generally well.
