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.

    The Best Mega Man Game Ever is Coming to the PlayStation Store

    Capcom announced today that Mega Man Legends, the greatest Mega Man game ever created, is finally coming to the PlayStation Store on September 29. I know I say a lot of nonsense here, but trust me when I say that every "normal" Mega Man game sucks and that this game is great, and you should totally buy it when it comes out. I don't even care if you own a compatible system, just buy it.

    I'm serious. This and the sequel are literally the only two Mega Man games I like.

    RSI's Response to Derek Smart's Lawyer is Simply Wonderful

    Derek Smart, a self-proclaimed "game developer" and long time game industry nuisance, decided to go after Roberts Space Industries, the studio behind Star Citizen. To make a long story short, Derek Smart backed Star Citizen at the $250 (USD) tier way back before its popularity took off. Smart then canceled his pledge and his RSI account was deactivated, allegedly against his wishes. The refund notification he received was clearly stated under section five of the Kickstarter rules that ...

  • Say Hello to Dogmeat

    Say Hello to Dogmeat

    Dogmeat is almost as much an icon in the Fallout franchise as Vault Boy. It should come as no surprise that Dogmeat is once again featured in Fallout 4. Bethesda seems to understand his importance as they have dedicated an entire behind the scenes video showing off the real world Dogmeat.

    Fallout 4 is due out on November 10, 2015 or about a month and a half away. That's really, super soon.

    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?
