Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

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.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    First Major Hollywood Films Come to Steam Starting with Mad Max

    Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior mark the first major Hollywood films to appear on Steam. Fury Road is simply a pre-order while the other two films can be streamed right now. Yes, streamed. There is no option to download the films locally. People are already up in arms because they feel the prices seem a bit too steep for a streaming only service, with the original Mad Max films going for $14.99 (USD) and Fury Road going for $19.99.

  • Madden NFL 16 Review

    Madden NFL 16 Review

    MUCH MORE THAN JUST A ROSTER UPDATE

    When people look at a yearly franchise like Madden NFL, they think that it’s merely a $60 roster update layered on top of the same, old game. While this really hasn’t held true now for the past few years, people will still hop on social media or forums and shout that cliché until they’re blue in the face. That or they’ll smugly entertain themselves by saying how “NFL 2K5 is still the best football game ever...

  • PC Retail Version of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Apparently Includes Just a Steam Installer

    Some fans have already managed to pick up the retail release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for the PC. That's all well and good, early releases happen all the time. What isn't good is that Konami apparently only included a Steam installer on the disc. That's it.
