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? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

  • Friday Releases for August 25, 2017: Naruto Shippuden, Velocity 2X, Madden NFL 18, F1 2017, and One Piece

    Hey, it's Friday and that means a lot of games are being released today? I guess so. Usually these things are done on Tuesday but it's 2017 and nothing makes sense.

    Whatever, let's get on with it.

    One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition came out today on the PC and PlayStation 4. A Switch version is coming on September 29, 2017.

  • This is the Plot to Half-Life 3

    This is the Plot to Half-Life 3

    January 8, 2016 is when we reported that Half-Life writer, Marc Laidlaw, parted ways from Valve. 18 years worth of writing for the company saw him pen some of the best games of our lifetime including the entirety of Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Dota 2, and Portal. It was sad, disappointing, and even a bit frustrating that he left before we ever got to experience his work in Half-Life 3. It's weird to think about Half-Life 3. Fans have wanted it for years now, but Valve just doesn't seem capabl...

  • Rockstar Revives Smuggler's Run for GTA Online

    Rockstar Revives Smuggler's Run for GTA Online

    Way back in the day, Rockstar Games made a series of games called Smuggler's Run. Seeing as how the last games in that series came out for the GameCube and PlayStation 2, I'd say it's been a while since Smuggler's Run saw the light of day. That is, it has remained dormant until today.

    GTA Online brings back some of that old feeling with the Smuggler's Run update. You're looking at new planes, helicopters, and ultralights to play with as you try to transport "goods" around...

  • Poll: What is 2024's Biggest Gaming Disappointment So Far?
    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?
