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.

  • Surprise! Voice Chat on Switch is a Disaster

    Surprise! Voice Chat on Switch is a Disaster

    Early tests reveal that the voice chat solution for the Nintendo Switch is a total disaster. We aren't even talking about the number of wires and connected devices you need to use if you want to use a headset (pictured above). Unlike conventional voice chat systems on say the Xbox or PlayStation, Nintendo went with a unique approach for the Switch. You have to download an app for either your iOS or Android device. Don't have one of those? Too bad. Nintendo is quick to point out on the offici...
