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...

During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones?

    Battleborn Community Weekend

    If I were to tell you that Battleborn has a new four-day community weekend coming up, what would you say? You'd probably laugh, right? Well, I looked it up and apparently there's still like 50 some people playing that game on PC, which is 49 more players than what you would find playing LawBreakers right now. Crazy, right?

    Gearbox has some stuff coming to those current players and any player who decides to once again fire up the game.

    The Third New Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer is Here

    As expected, Rockstar Games released the third new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm sure nobody is going to read these opening words anyway and will just skip straight to the trailer, embedded below, so nothing I'll say up here really matters anyway!

    Oculus Stealth Releases Gear VR Competitor Oculus Go

    Earlier today, Oculus VR released what looks to be the first major competitor to things like the Gear VR by Samsung and Daydream from Google. They're calling it Oculus Go and it starts at $199 (USD) for the 32GB model or $249 for the 64GB model.

    It's important to note that this is not a successor for the Oculus Rift. This is instead a standalone device that is about as powerful as a current-gen smartphone would be. The key difference here is that it doesn't require a phone...

    Fortnite Season 4 Kicks Off with a Comet Sized Impact

    So I guess all of that teasing about a comet in Fortnite has finally come to a head today. Epic tells me that the fourth season for their very popular battle royale game has started "with a bang." That is to say, pieces of the big comet in the sky have come crashing down in to the play area to alter it rather significantly. Fortnite Season 4 includes some new landscape to play in, new gravity defying Hop Rocks, over 100 new cosmetic items for the Battle Pass, and more. It should also...

    Gambling in Video Games

    When we talk about the idea of gambling in video games, the first thing that may spring to mind are the onslaught of "loot boxes" that have become prevalent over the past half of a decade.

    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.

    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?
