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

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

  • Bethesda to Send Proper Canvas Bags to Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition Owners

    Bethesda to Send Proper Canvas Bags to Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition Owners

    Bethesda revealed that they will now give proper canvas bags to customers that purchased the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition. As you probably recall, the customers that purchased that version of the game were given not the canvas bags they were advertised, but rather a nylon bag that is in no way comparable to canvas.

    At $200, you would think that they would actually provide the item that is still being advertised at retailers, right? Thankfully, Bethesda realized the error...

Will they actually release on that date without delay? I have no idea. Will this site stop having database crashes? Probably not. It's a strange time we're living in, folks. ...

  • Bethesda Gave Fallout 76 Canvas Bags to Influencers, But Not to Paying Customers

    Two days ago, we reported on the story that Bethesda pulled a bait-and-switch when it came to delivering a canvas bag to fans that spent $200 for Fallout 76's Power Armor Edition. As you recall, they were instead given a nylon bag and not the canvas bag that is still being advertised at retailers like Amazon and GameStop.

    Yesterday, we reported on how Bethesda's compensation was meager, at best. They offered up $5 of in-game currency that can be used to maybe buy a door and...

    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.
