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...

    Wizard with a Gun Releases a Day Ahead of Schedule

    All to avoid the Steam release of Diablo 4.

    Devolver Digital made the decision to release Wizard with a Gun a full day ahead of schedule on PC. This was all done to avoid releasing on the same day as another game about "mowing down hordes of monsters with magic in a dark fantasy world." That other game? Diablo 4.

    I'm not entirely sure that Wizard with a Gun necessarily has much to worry about here, but I suppose it still is entirely possible that the Steam...
