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.

    The sixth season of Fortnite is upon us. And while Epic Games is dubbing it the "Darkness Rises" season, I'm calling it the season where you can get pets. Pets in Fortnite. Hell to the yes!

Oh and there are some other changes like to the map and something about a giant purple cube and Shadow Stones? There's probably som...

    PUBG Partners with FACEIT for Competitive Gaming

    PUBG and eSports go together like, well, like two things that sort of go together but not quite and is only somewhat enjoyed by the masses but would maybe be accepted more if the presentation was better than it used to be? You know what I'm talking about.

    That's perhaps why today's news about FACEIT and PUBG teaming up is probably a good thing to learn about.

    On September 28, PUBG will be added to the FACEIT platform for Europe, North America, and South America....

    Blizzard just made the BlizzCon 2018 Virtual Ticket a bit more appealing for those who may not have felt like $49.99 (USD) was worth it quite yet.

    Sony Finally Allowing Cross-Play Between PlayStation and Other Platforms

    Sony is finally starting to allow cross-platform play between the PlayStation 4 and other platforms, namely the Xbox One. Granted, there is only one game that you can test at the moment but it's a start!
