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...

    Gears 5 Built "From the Ground Up for PC"

    In a recent interview between Rod Fergusson from The Coalition and WIRED UK, Fergusson spilled a few of the beans on what PC players can expect from the PC release of Gears 5. One of the major points of interest is the fact that Fergusson says Gears 5 is being built "from the ground up" for the PC crowd.

    Babylon's Fall Announced by Square Enix and PlatinumGames

    The duo of Square Enix and PlatinumGames announced Babylon's Fall for the PlayStation 4 and PC. This was actually announced at E3 last week but I am a terrible person and seemingly had this one slip under my radar. You just read pretty much everything that has been revealed about the game so far. The only other thing we know is that it will be released at some point in 2019. If it doesn't come out in Autumn of 2019, then somebody somewhere screwed up royally. ...

    I think Square Enix really wants to hammer the idea home to you that yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 does exist and yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 will be released on January 29, 2019. We had new trailers from the Xbox E3 event, from Sony's E3 event, and you better believe that there was one at Square Enix's own E3 event.

    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?
