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

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...

    DICE Cancels Competitive Mode for Battlefield V

    A 5v5 competitive game mode never quite got off the ground.

    DICE has officially cancelled its previously announced 5v5 competitive mode for Battlefield V. The company says that they made this decision after turning their attention more to "improving the quality of the experience and adding more of the content you want." Despite neither of these two things happening in quite some time, the decision has been made and those looking for a small-scale war are left looking elsewhere....

    Code Vein Trailer Reveals the 'Butterfly of Delirium' Boss

    Spoiler warning.

    Another new trailer is out today for the upcoming action-RPG, Code Vein. While I'm sure many of you won't care too much about spoilers, I know some people like going into games like this almost completely blind. It's actually kind of odd that most of the trailers we've seen for the game focus on bosses. You'd think they would want these to be a surprise.

    Anyway, the latest is a trailer for the Butterfly of Delirium. This boss "proves that two heads...
