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...

  • Why Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Test Won't Include PC

    Why Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Test Won't Include PC

    There is an upcoming multiplayer technical test for Titanfall 2. Fans should be happy because it will give many people a chance to "demo" the game ahead of release as well as provide important information to the developers for final fixes and tweaks.

    The problem is that this test will only be on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and not on the PC. Why? Vince Zampella breaks it down.
    Two big issues from a development standpoint: hardware variety & “min spec” optimization.

    No Man's Sky is a Massive Disappointment

    About as deep and as entertaining as a puddle.

    I did something a bit different with my "Week in Review" this week for No Man's Sky. Instead of just writing up a few sentences about why I think the game is a massive disappointment, I decided to share my unedited rant/thoughts about the game. I recorded this last night as part of my Twitch stream of World of Warcraft. Why was I playing WoW and not No Man's Sky while talking about No Man's Sky? Well, it's simply because No Man's...

    Blizzard Rolling Out 60 Tickrate Update for Overwatch

    Even before its launch, people were raising hell about the poor tickrate situation in Overwatch. It was discovered that the client tickrate was roughly 20 while the servers sat at roughly 60 updates per second. This led to many situations such as being pulled through walls by Roadhog. Or maybe you saw a Killcam where you knew your character was in a slightly different location than what they enemy's feed conveyed. Yes, some of these issues are merely related to lag, but a lot did hav...

    THQ is back! Kind of! Sort of?

    It seems as though Nordic Games has been renamed to THQ Nordic. So in a way, it's like THQ is back! Only not. But they are? Yes.
    Whilst we take great pride in our Swedish roots and accomplished a great deal under the Nordic Games masthead, we decided it was time to incorporate the THQ name. Those key brands will continue to shape our business in a meaningful way going forward, and THQ Nordic represents a core approach of doing much more

    PSA: No Man's Sky on PC is a Technical Dumpster Fire

    It seems as though the PC release of No Man's Sky is a bit of a clusterfuck right now. People all over are reporting technical issues that range from being unable to play the game to getting far below expected performance even on the latest and greatest video cards.

    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?
