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.

    Black Ops 3 Realistic Difficulty Sounds Annoying

    Treyarch explains the "Realistic" difficulty setting that will be an option in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
    Then there’s the new Realistic difficulty level to take into account too. “[In Realistic] you have one point of life, so if you’re shot once, you’re dead. It completely changes the way you play the game,” says Blundell. “You all have to survive as a group. You end up respecting the level in a completely different way, and once gunfire opens up, everyone just drops

    Star Wars Battlefront Won't Have Voice Chat on Any Platform

    It's 20-freaking-15 and a multiplayer focused title will ship without built-in voice communication on any of its available platforms. That game is none other than Star Wars Battlefront.

    We already knew that the game didn't have voice chat during the beta, but most of us probably said that it's reasonable because it's a beta! Turns out the final game won't have voice chat either. EA confirmed this news on Twitter.

    Treyarch Apologizes for Stupid Twitter PR Blunder

    A couple of weeks back, the Call of Duty Twitter made a super stupid PR move when they put up fake news that, let's be honest here, was a little too real for most people's liking.

    Neither Treyarch nor Activision ever made public apologies for the big PR blunder. However, Treyarch's Jason Blundell did say that he was "personally very sorry" about the entire mess.
    "Here’s my view – and again, I’m a simple director and not involved in the marketing at all," Blundell

    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?
