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...

  • 2K Australia Shut Down

    2K Australia Shut Down

    2K Australia is closing down. First noted by a number of sources and then directly by 2K themselves, the studio will be completely shuttered soon.

    2K Australia is the studio behind Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They also had a hand in developing games like the BioShock franchise, SWAT 4, and Tribes: Vengeance to name a few. The reported reason for the closure was due to the high cost of operating out of Australia. A move to Melbourne was tentatively planned for the stu...

    We have some sad news today for the four or so people that still play either Battlefield Heroes or Battlefield Play4Free. EA announced that they will be removing support for those two titles alongside Need for Speed World and FIFA World after 90 days.

  • GTA Surpasses Skyrim for the Most Players in Game at the Same Time on Steam

    GTA Surpasses Skyrim for the Most Players in Game at the Same Time on Steam

    It's not quite official yet, but the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V has sold really, really well. Some estimates already have GTA V sitting at over 1.1 million copies sold just on the PC, which isn't too shabby at all.

    It should be no wonder then that the game has surpassed The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the most concurrently played title on Steam for non-Valve titles. Back in 2011, Skyrim topped off at 280,000 people playing at the same time. Today, Grand Theft Auto V pulled...

    Almost missed this one today but Guitar Hero Live was officially announced by Activision earlier. As the name implies, it's Guitar Hero but like... in front of real people. It also features a new guitar design that not too many are thrilled about.


    Still don't have a good idea of what to expect? Kinda Funny Games shows off quite a bit more gameplay and how the crowd and bandmates will react to your performance.

    Well technically, the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V happened last night at 7PM (ET). However, if you've been in a coma for the last roughly 20 hours, this is going to be some hot news to you!

  • Op-Ed: The PC Release of Mortal Kombat X Seems Silly and Dumb

    Op-Ed: The PC Release of Mortal Kombat X Seems Silly and Dumb

    To put it mildly, the PC release of Mortal Kombat X seems to be a bit of a clusterfuck. I "preloaded" the game last night and was surprised to see that it was only a bit over 3GB in size. "Huh, that's weird," I thought. I shrugged it off and instead proceeded to play the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V instead. Now, despite there being a few minor issues (unless you had certain 9xx series Nvidia cards), the PC launch of GTAV went really, really smoothly. This is especially in comparison ...

    Mortal Kombat X Includes Microtransactions to Allow for Easier Fatalities

    In a move that is right up there with selling horse armor, Netherrealm and WBIE have decided to include some less than savory optional microtransactions in Mortal Kombat X. Those who have purchased the game on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 may have already discovered that you can pay to have the ability to more easily pull off Fatalities. That's right, pay even more money (on top of the price of the game and optional Season Pass) just to earn the the ability off Fatalities more easily...

    Destiny: House of Wolves Will Not Feature a New Raid

    Despite the raids being one of the major pulls for players to constantly return to Destiny, Bungie has revealed today that the House of Wolves expansion will not feature a new raid. Instead, the company will offer a 3-player battle arena mode called "Prison of Elders." That's right, Bungie is not going to offer one of their strongest game features (raids) and is replacing it instead with something that either sounds like another PvP mode or, dare I say it, a horde based mode. Yup. Good call ...

    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?
