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.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War "Terror Tribe" Trailer

    A new video for Middle-earth: Shadow of War tries to make you forget that the game has micro-transactions and instead focuses on the Terror Tribe. This is a group of Orcs that specialize in spreading fear throughout Mordor. You know, I did not see that one coming.
    In Shadow of War, Orcs now belong to tribes, which extend their influence stemming from the Overlords ruling the mighty fortresses throughout the open world, providing a rich ecosystem of missions, exploration and a dynamic

    Blizzard Renames Battle.net Client Yet Again: Now Blizzard Battle.net

    First it was Battle.net. Then, it became Blizzard or Blizzard app. At some point there was something about "Battle Tech" or "Blizzard Tech" (I honestly still don't know which one). Now, Blizzard is going to call it Blizzard Battle.net. This totally not confusing announcement came earlier today by Blizzard, makers of Blizzard Battle.net.
    When we announced that we’d be transitioning away from the Battle.net name for our online-gaming service, we suspected that the shift would be challenging.

  • No Man's Sky 1.3 Update Adds Multiplayer, Terrain Editing, Better Combat, and So Much More

    The 1.3 update for No Man's Sky is here! Among the many changes, improvements, and additions in this update are the beginnings of online multiplayer! Yes, nearly one year after the game launched and broke a lot of hearts, the team at Hello Games seems to have been super busy putting together one incredible update. Based on the changes in the 1.3 update, this could be one of the biggest turnarounds for a game I've yet seen.

    Up to 16 people can now adventure together, exploring planets cooperatively. Hello Games says that this is only the beginning, so expect to see more improvements made to the multiplayer going forward. You can edit terrain. New portals will take you to and from distant planets without the need of your ship. Space combat has been given a major boost. You can now properly fly when close to the planets' surfaces. And much more.

  • 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?
