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...

    Fix PUBG Campaign Begins Today

    Late last night, the PUBG Corporation announced their FIX PUBG campaign. As you may have already figured by the name, this is a new initiative from the development team to focus hard on, well, fixing PUBG.

    The announcement was made last night via Steam in response to the flood of "fix the game" remarks that players like to spam, that among other things.
    This is a phrase we’ve been hearing a lot lately. Since we released PUBG as an Early Access game last year, the game

    Circle Empires is an RTS with Circles and It's Out Now

    If you're reading this, that means it's 10AM (ET) on August 8 and this scheduled post has just gone up to inform you of this very important news: An RTS game that involves a lot of circles has just been released!

    The game is called Circle Empires and it's just $7.99 (USD) with an additional 10% discount being offered for the launch week. That should probably place it right at that impulse buy mark for a lot of people, especially those who enjoy the strategy genre.

    Former Epic Devs Announce Music Filled Dungeon Crawler: Soundfall

    Combining music, rhythm-based gameplay, and dungeon crawling isn't exactly a new idea, but it is one that hasn't been explored all that much. Which is why some folks may want to start taking a look at the newly announced Soundfall from some former Epic developers that make up Drastic Games. As you may have already guessed, Soundfall looks to combine rhythmic style gameplay with the dungeon crawling stable of action and adventure. They also decided to throw in a dash of twin-stick shooting fo...

    Bethesda Confirms Fallout 76 Won't Launch on Steam

    If you were still holding out hope for that "Fallout 76 is coming to Steam" announcement, I suggest you sit down for this news. Bethesda officially confirmed that the multiplayer focused Fallout title will not be released through Steam.

    This confirmation comes from the Fallout 76 beta FAQ page that clearly states that the "B.E.T.A. and the game will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC (via Bethesda.net only)." And if you needed further confirmation, Bethesda...

    G, the Man of Mystery, is perhaps the most elusive character to be added to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. As the self-proclaimed “President of the World,” he suddenly appeared vowing to unite the citizens of Earth under his name. Although he is

Astute opponents may be able to exploit Astaroth’s lumbering speed to their own advantage

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is About to Get Cooler

    The latest character reveal for Dragon Ball FighterZ is Cooler. Cooler than what? No, it's just Cooler. You know, the son of King Cold and the older brother of Frieza. Cooler. C'mon, you know who that is. Cooler apparently comes packing a "calmer and more analytical mind compared to Frieza." Cooler also apparently "approaches opponents with more caution" and he finds "ways to ensure the defeat of his enemies rather than acting on blind rage, power, or ego."

    60 Parsecs Gives You 60 Seconds to to Survive

    Robot Gentleman, the development studio behind 60 Seconds! have announced a follow-up game called 60 Parsecs! Much like its predecessor, 60 Parsecs! gives you 60 seconds to gather as much as you can to survive before you're jettisoned into space.

    Seems fair.

    Also, it needs to be said that a parsec is a unit of length, not of time. I blame this common misconception on that damned Star Wars all the kids like these days.
