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...

  • A Very Cute Hamster is the Next Overwatch Hero

    A Very Cute Hamster is the Next Overwatch Hero


    Blizzard just revealed their next hero for Overwatch and it's a hamster. It's a 14-year old hamster named Hammond that fights in a giant mech suit. The mech suit can turn into a ball to roll around the battlefield. It can also turn into a literal wrecking ball. It's probably super appropriate then that the character's in-game name is Wrecking Ball.

    Have we crossed into being Battleborn yet? I feel like we have. Hey, whatever. So long as it's fun, right? Let's get some...

    PUBG Corp Drops Lawsuit Against Epic Games and Fortnite

    As fast as the PUBG lawsuit came so it went. PUBG Corp. has apparently dropped their lawsuit against Epic Games and the Fortnite Battle Royale game. Bloomberg notes that the lawsuit, which began in January and I could have sworn I put up a news post about, has been withdrawn from the South Korean court system in which it was originally placed. Neither PUBG nor their legal representation have issued a statement as to why the lawsuit was withdrawn but I would assume it was because they realiz...

    Agony Devs Break Another Promise, Cancel Agony Unrated

    This one is a big ol' "yikes." The saga of Agony has been a real rough one. After successfully being crowdfunded, the game was delayed for months before eventually being released. However, it had to make some cuts to the content in order to appease its publisher and not be hit with an AO rating.

    The developer, Madmind Studio, said that they would release an uncensored patch with all of the cut content afterwards. Only, they didn't allegedly due to legal reasons. So the game...

  • Telltale Reportedly Ditching Their Old In-House Game Engine in Favor of Unity

    At long last, Telltale Games is going to ditch their own in-house engine that has been used for a bit over 30 games at this point. They will begin to use the Unity engine for all games after The Walking Dead: The Final Season.

    This means that the Telltale adventure game based on Stranger Things should be the first game built using Unity. While many may argue that Unity on consoles isn't all that great, they should agree that it's better than continuing to use Telltale's old...
