Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

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...

    The Turing Test Hands-on Preview and Gameplay Videos

    A new puzzle platformer is nearly here from Bulkhead Interactive and publisher Square Enix and it's called The Turing Test. I was fortunate enough to get some hands-on time with the game earlier this month ahead of its August 30 release. A part of the restriction I was given was that I was to share nothing beyond the third chapter of the game. A review is forthcoming but perhaps a look at the first three chapters will be enough for you to decide if you are interested in the game or not...

    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?
