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?

  • Project Cars 2 Finally Gets Fun this Winter

    Project Cars 2 Finally Gets Fun this Winter

    The "Fun Pack" for Project Cars 2 was announced today. If you weren't having fun yet in this racing title, then maybe this Fun Pack will be right up your alley? The weird thing is that this Fun Pack is slated for release in "Winter 2017" and well, 2017 is almost over. I'm guessing they either mean this content will be out before the end of the year or "Winter 2017" includes the Winter season that began in 2017 and ends in 2018. The Fun Pack includes two new tracks and eight new cars. A...

If you do, you'll have some of the following to help you along your potential rise to glory.

    Steam Community Reportedly Blocked in China

    China sure does love its censorship. By that I mean actual censorship, not that fake "censorship" bullshit that people like to throw around like it's going out of style when they have no other avenue to turn to in an argument. No, we're talking about real, bonafide censorship from the Chinese government here. The latest victim appears to be the Steam Community.

    Some free content is here now for Star Wars Battlefront II in the form of the the start of The Last Jedi Season. EA and DICE say that this is the first free season for the game, so I would expect the game to get more content similar to this some time down the line.
    Finn joins the battle as a playable hero for the Resistance striving to keep the galaxy from oppression, while Captain Phasma is playable as a new villain leading the First Order in combat. Both characters are now unlocked

    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?
