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...

    Michael Ironside Returns as Sam Fisher in Ghost Recon Wildlands

    I somehow had no idea about this news until about a minute ago, but Ubisoft revealed today that Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher is back. Back in the sense that he'll be a special partner brought in for a special Ghost Recon Wildlands event. The very short announcement says that the "full briefing" will be on April 9. Perhaps the best part about all of this? Michael Ironside is back as the voice of Sam Fisher. I can only assume (perhaps hope and pray even) that this means there's a new Splin...

    by Shawn Zipay
    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?
