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...

  • The Escapist Triples Down on Their Allegations Against Star Citizen and Roberts Space Industries

    This news is a continuation of where we left off yesterday in the ongoing battle between The Escapist and Cloud Imperium Games.

    Moments ago, The Escapist decided to triple down on their allegations that they are right and that there are some unsavory events going on with Cloud Imperium Games, Roberts Space Industries, and the development of Star Citizen.
    The Escapist, notwithstanding Cloud Imperium Games' notice and posting, stands by its coverage of Star Citizen and

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Reportedly 45GB on Consoles

    Moments ago, the Microsoft Store listed the download size for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. It looks like the game will require about 45GB of storage space on the Xbox One. I would assume that the PlayStation 4 version is also about the same size.


    It does not look like the size is still up on the Xbox page, at least for the US store.

    Far Cry Primal Teased by Ubisoft; Leaked by the Rest of the Internet

    Ubisoft has an annoying lengthy teaser going on leading up to the announcement of a new game. Thanks to a few sites, including IGN Turkey, jumping the gun in a big way, the reveal is already known. The game is Far Cry Primal and it seems as though it will take place during the Ice Age. We're talking about cavemen and crazy mammals. Of course, this also means no dinosaurs.

    This seems to be the Far Cry Sigma that was recently added to the Steam database this past week. ...

    SOMA Review

    ”Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” – Dr. Seuss

    SOMA takes everything you think you know about what “humanity” means and throws it into a blender. What is humanity? Are you human because you have the physical attributes we commonly associate with being a homo sapien? Are you a human because of higher-level thoughts and consciousness? If you remove one piece out of the complex grab bag of what we see...

  • CIG and Roberts Space Industries Refutes The Escapist's Slander and Threatens Legal Action

    The other day, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) and Roberts Space Industries (RSI) came under attack by a slanderous hit piece from The Escapist. I wrote up my thoughts about that in our ever growing blog section. That was the latest in a series of events that saw notorious Internet "trolls" going after CIG and RSI without much in the way of facts. The Escapist doubled down on their claims, saying that their sources were verified by the site's legal component and that everything checked out. They a...

    Skreens Adds Split-Screen Functionality to Any Game

    I received this press release a few days ago and opted to check it out later. Later ended up being about three days (whoops), but here we are. It was a mailing about something called Skreens, a device that combines multiple inputs into one output picture. This could be a very interesting way to have couch co-op in Halo 5, provided you own two Xbox One's and two copies of the game.

    What is Skreens? Skreens is a revolutionary way to experience all of your entertainment. Your

  • Poll: What is 2024's Biggest Gaming Disappointment So Far?
    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?
