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...

  • Dota 2 - The Balance of Power Update is Big

    Dota 2 - The Balance of Power Update is Big

    Look, I'm going to be honest with you here. The way this update page is structured for this Dota 2 update kind of hurts my head at 2:30 in the morning. Hell, it would hurt my head if I read it at 2:30PM. I don't know what I'm looking at here. I haven't played Dota in ages so a lot of this doesn't make much sense at all to me. What you should probably do is head on over to the update page for tonight's big Dota 2 patch. Valve is calling it "The Balance of Power Update." I'm assuming th...

  • Spend $30 to Boost a Single Character to Level 25 in Destiny

    Spend $30 to Boost a Single Character to Level 25 in Destiny

    Yes, for roughly half the cost of the game itself, you can pay to boost a single character to level 25 in Destiny. Bungie and Activision, but probably mainly Activision, added a $30 character boost that will allow you to bump one of your characters immediately up to level 25. This obviously allows users to bypass a lot of the actual content in the game since the max level right now is still a lowly 40. Most fans are outraged over this, but not because it's some sort of a "pay-to-win" ...

    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?
