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...

    Latest ESEA Client Poses a Huge Security Risk

    If you frequently make use of the ESEA client to play on their Counter-Strike servers, you may want to hold off on updating to the latest version. Hell, I'd go so far as to suggest that you uninstall the ESEA client right now and take your business elsewhere. Why? It seems as though the latest client gives the ESEA full administrative access to your computer. The client makes use of a kernal driver that now runs 24/7 on your machine. It has the capability to look at any file on ...

    There’s been a recent uptick in reports in the local precincts – a rash of violent crime that is seemingly connected somehow. Small crews of well-trained, aggressive criminals have been using force of arms to terrorize the citizenry and are in direct conflict with the police in many cases. Public property da

    If you really feel like forking over $40 (USD) for God of War III Remastered, you may be happy to hear you also get to play God of War I and God of War II. I suppose that's the good news.

    The bad news is that you only get 90-day rentals for those two games from PlayStation Now. Yeah, you don't even get to keep those games, they're merely rentals.
    If you pre-order now at retail or on PlayStation Store, you’ll get the brand new God of War – Fall of Olympus Dynamic Theme
