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...

    Vertigo Sucks a Little Less After Today's CS:GO Update

    Valve just rolled out a fresh update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive this evening that makes some adjustments to three maps. These maps are none other than Vertigo, Nuke, and Abbey. The biggest changes tonight hit Vertigo and Abbey, with Nuke receiving only little bitty fix.

    As always, the update will be automatically applied via Steam....

  • Refunds Now Allowed on PlayStation Store Pre-orders but There is a Catch

    Refunds Now Allowed on PlayStation Store Pre-orders but There is a Catch


    For the longest time, if you wanted a refund from Sony for a purchase made through the PlayStation Store, you were either completely out of luck or were maybe given a one time exception. There were a few other times where Sony cracked open that refund door another inch, such as when games were severely broken to the point of crashing systems, but these were made once in a blue moon. Even then it wasn't a guarantee that you would be issued a refund if you requested one.

  • Doom is the Theme for QuakeCon 2019

    Doom is the Theme for QuakeCon 2019


    If you were to say that Quakecon 2019 is Doomed, you would be correct. Not only because that's the on point headline that Bethesda used in today's press release, but also because Quakecon 2019 is focusing on Doom! It's not even being called QuakeCon 2019, but is instead being called QuakeCon: Year of DOOM!

    DOOM! DOOOOOOOOOOOM!

    Even with all this Doom, there's not a whole lot of gloom to be seen, unless you aren't able to get the registrations you wanted for the...

  • Now Deleted Borderlands 3 Tweets Suggest September 13 Release on Epic Store (Updated)


    Earlier today, the official Borderlands 3 Twitter account put up some now deleted tweets. Normally this wouldn't be a "thing" to care about, but these particular tweets included some previously unknown information about the release of Borderlands 3.

    Among the information revealed is the potential release date for the game. The date looks to be September 13, 2019. In addition, it seems as though pre-orders for the game will get access to the Gold Weapon Skins Pack,...

    More Details About the Valve Index VR Headset Revealed


    It's no real secret that Valve has been working on a new in-house first-party VR headset. Images of their development units were seen back in July 2018.

    The page on Steam tells us that their headset is called the Valve Index and that we can expect to see additional details starting May 2019. That was pretty much...

  • The NBA Jam Announcer in Rage 2 is No Joke

    The NBA Jam Announcer in Rage 2 is No Joke


    I fully admit that I was about to ignore this email today. I believed it to be nothing more than yet another April Fools' joke, but it's apparently super real.

    Bethesda announced today that the legendary announcer from the NBA Jam games, Tim Kitzrow, will be a special narrator voice in Rage 2. They're calling this special pre-order bonus the "'He's on Fire' cheat code" though it's probably just an option you can toggle on and off instead of an actual cheat code. Though...

    Valve Embraces Dota 2 Gambling


    There is no denying that Dota 2 is an esports juggernaut. As the game enters into its sixth year this Summer, the popular "multiplayer online battle arena" (MOBA) shows no signs of slowing down. Last year, the annual Dota 2 tournament, The International, offered the biggest esports payout of any single video game tournament. In fact, The International occupies the top five positions on the top esports earnings list.

    This means that with the rise of Dota 2 esports comes...

    Judgment Announcement Trailer

    If you need more details about Judgment, you can always read through the release date announcement. By the way, Judgment is still apparently on track to be released in the Americas on June 25, despite it being pulled from stores...

    Stalker 2 Announced Again for the Third Time


    It was about ten years ago when Stalker 2 was first announced. Then, there was a long stretch of absolutely nothing. Last year, Stalker 2 was announced for the second time. Then, there was another stretch of absolutely nothing. Today, Stalker 2 has been announced for the third time.

    This triple dip on the announcement came via the official Stalker Twitter account coming to life. the account linked to the official Stalker 2 website, seemingly again promising a 2021 release window, and then showed off some new art for the game (seen at top). ...

    Pathologic 2 Announced, Releasing this May


    Pathologic 2 was shown off today during the Gearbox Publishing segment of today's Gearbox PAX panel. The game, still in development from tinyBuild, will be released on May 23, 2019 through Steam.

    A new trailer for the game shows off just a taste of the game's creepy setting and disturbing cast of characters. The game is in first-person and can best be described as a "narrative-driven dramatic thriller." It's probably a good thing those are the exact words the dev team...

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
