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...

  • Game Industry: Sega Cuts 300 Jobs, Joystiq Closes, Monty Oum Hospitalized, Andrew Yoon Passes Away

    It hasn't been a great day today in the gaming industry. In fact, you may even say that this might be one of the worst days for the industry in recent memory.

It was also announced today that Sega will cut around 300 jobs as part of a "restructuring" process. The company is making the mo...

    Bloodborne PS4 Bundle Confirmed for Europe; New 'Chalice Dungeon' Video

    Sony has confirmed that Europe will get a special PlayStation 4 bundle with Bloodborne. This includes a black PS4, a black controller, and a copy of the game. So really, it's kind of a no extra frills bundle but it's still an option for consumers.

    Next, From Software decided to show off another look at the Chalice Dungeon. This "dungeon" is massive and seemingly randomly generated.

They also won't know that all multiplayer progression will be accessible by those playing the game. This includes new weapons, gear, and gadgets. Nobody will know that the open beta will actually feature three different maps and modes, which is at least...

  • First Trailer for Dragon's Dogma Online Revealed

    First Trailer for Dragon's Dogma Online Revealed

    Earlier, we saw the first details for Dragon's Dogma Online. Now, we have our first ever trailer for the game.


    Now, despite all of this good news, it's time to bring the buzz down a few levels. This game is apparently never going to be released in the West. That means that North America will probably never get to play it though I do not believe that has been officially announced just yet. Thus, there may still be some hope. Keep those fingers crossed!...

    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?
