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.

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...

  • No Season Pass for Mass Effect: Andromeda

    No Season Pass for Mass Effect: Andromeda

    While it's probably inevitable that Mass Effect: Andromeda will have DLC of some sort, at the very least it won't have a Season Pass to purchase. Either this means that some of the DLC will be free, or all of the non-cosmetic DLC will be free ala Titanfall 2 (probably not likely), or it will all be sold separately like with the previous games, or (most unlikely) there won't be any DLC for the game. BioWare's General Manager, Aaryn Flynn, gave this very clear responses on Twitter when asked ...
