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...

    Shawn Layden Out as Boss of PlayStation Worldwide Studios

    Layden's departure was announced suddenly via Twitter.

    PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shawn Layden is "departing" from the studio according to a new tweet sent out by Sony.

    This announcement seems to have come rather suddenly and with little to nothing in the way of foreshadowing. Layden was with Sony for over 30 years. He began in 1987 working in public relations for the tech giant. He then moved on to be an assistant to Sony co-founder Akio Morito for a...

    It's perhaps no real surprise that Tencent wants a piece of Funcom as the studio recently had its most profitable year. Funcom and Legendary Entertainment...

    Review: The Surge 2 (PC)

    Better than the original in almost every way.

    A weird thing happens when you have just a weekend to play a game and write a review for said game. I literally got my code Friday morning but could not begin until late Friday night. Sometimes that game ends up being longer than you anticipated. Sometimes that time that you could spend playing the game is spent instead with a weird thing called "life." And while "life" does have a tremendous framerate, it doesn't help...

    Ryu Hayabusa, Achilles, and Hades Announced for Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate

    What game wouldn't benefit from having a ninja and a Greek god?

    That headline is indeed correct. Three additional heroes have been announced for Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate. Koei Tecmo's own Ryu Hayabusa will be included as a playable character. He will be joined by the Greek god Hades and the famous Trojan War hero, Achilles. This is, by far, the oddest combined character reveal I have ever written about.

    These three will join the cast of over 170 playable characters in...
