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...

  • CD Projekt RED Blacklists GMG from Receiving Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Keys

    CD Projekt RED Blacklists GMG from Receiving Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Keys

    Here's the setup for this news story:
    A few days ago, Green Man Gaming started to advertise a new promotion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The deal was 35% off of a Witcher 3 pre-order and made it the cheapest (AFAIK) deal in town for the upcoming CD Projekt RED title.

    The problem here is that GMG was never actually given any keys for the Witcher 3, at least not from CD Projekt RED. So either GMG was selling a product they didn't have yet in hopes of striking a deal...

  • World of Warcraft Struggles to Maintain Subscribers

    World of Warcraft Struggles to Maintain Subscribers

    How's that for a clickbait headline? The official numbers for World of Warcraft just came out today from Blizzard's Q1 2015 earnings call. In reality, the subscriber based MMO is down roughly 2.9 million subscribers from Q4 2014.

    However, that still keeps the game at over 7.1 million subscribers. MMO-Champion has a nice graph of the subscriber history for WoW.

    Blizzard is still doing a-ok from WoW as far as revenues are concerned. This is due largely to increase...

    Prison of Elders Information Revealed for Destiny: House of Wolves Expansion

    Earlier today, Bungie blew the lid off of the Prison of Elders game type coming in the House of Wolves expansion for Destiny. To put it simply, Bungie is adding in a game type that looks quite a bit like the multiplayer mode from Mass Effect 3, which isn't a bad thing at all.

  • P.T. No Longer Downloadable on PSN Even If You Had it in Your Library Previously

    Hey, remember how Konami decided to do a bunch of really stupid stuff this past month or two? Remember how one of those things was pulling P.T. from the PlayStation Network about a week ago? Everybody believed that if you "purchased" the free game, you would be free to download it later on without issue. Why would anybody think otherwise? Similar situations have happened in the past where items were no longer allowed to be purchased but if you "owned" them, then you could still download th...

    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.
