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.

  • Better in VR: New Just Cause 3 Panoramic Trailer Offers 360 Degrees of Insanity

Sure, you can drag the view a round with your mouse but where's the fun in that?

    Harmonix Admits to Amazon Reviews of Rock Band 4

    Yesterday, the Internet discovered that various Harmonix employees were leaving reviews for Rock Band 4 over on Amazon. That is a rather big "no-no" when it comes to ethical practices from businesses.

    Today, Harmonix admitted that yes, they have indeed been reviewing their own product. Statements have been made both by the company, Harmonix, and by one of the reviewers in question, Matthew Nordhaus.

    PlayStation Store Now Includes Wishlists

    The PlayStation Store, at least the web browser version of it, now allows you to make wishlists. You can quickly add a game or other media piece to your wishlist by clicking on a heart icon next to the price listing. It is then added to your wishlist that only you and your friends, or you alone, can see.

    Could this be a step on the road to gifting through the PlayStation Store? It seems entirely plausible, especially how the privacy settings are defaulted to allowing your friend...

    Harmonix Employees Might be Leaving 5-Star Amazon Reviews for Rock Band 4

    Allegedly, some Harmonix employees are leaving 5-star reviews on Amazon for Rock Band 4. Reddit, as they tend to be, were on the case.
    Harmonix employees seem to have taken to Amazon to post their own favorable reviews of the game. At first I thought it was a rogue employee or two but then I dug around for about a half hour and found 7 of them and so it appears to be more of an initiative. I'm sure there's more than that.

    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.
