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...

    Black Mesa Once Again Delays Xen

    Oh hey look, Black Mesa announced a delay. This is totally shocking and unexpected. Xen is delayed. Oh no. Surprising. Etc.
    Unfortunately, as some of you may have already predicted, we are going to need to push back our planned release of Xen to later this year, in December. We know that this is not what anyone would want to hear, but after taking a long and hard look at what we want to achieve, we have decided that this is for the best. We do not want to compromise on Xen’s quality

    Dungeon Defenders II Released on PC, PS4, and XB1

    Dungeon Defenders II just came out today from Trendy Entertainment for the PC, PS4, and XB1. Here I am believing that the game already came out a while ago, but I was mistaken. It was apparently in Steam Early Access for a while before today.

    World of Tanks Coming to Xbox One X; New 4K Screenshots

    Wargaming announced today that "WoT is under development for the console." I think I was able to decipher the clues from the rest of the email here to figure out that World of Tanks is in development for the Xbox One X. The email, uh, wasn't very clear about this. Though seeing as how the game is already out for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, I really don't think they meant the Switch. Let's face it, 4K screenshots coming from a Switch? Not very likely. Speaking of those sc...
