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...

    Tony Hawk is Working with Activision on a New Console Game

    Tony Hawk, yes that one, says that he is working with Activision on a new console game that will be out in 2015.

    Is this the rebirth of Tony Hawk Pro Skater for a new generation of consoles? Maybe. Then again it could also just as easily be some stupid as hell sequel for the Tony Hawk: Ride series. Just give me a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Tony Hawk game with controller support, no gimmicky stuff, and a soundtrack that is literally straight out of the 90's and you will...

    See Battlefield 4 Running on iOS

    A pet project of the Frostbite team has resulted in Battlefield 4 running on iOS.

    It has been quite a challenge. To handle dynamic features such as destruction or moving light sources, most things in the Frostbite engine happen in realtime. This puts extra demand on performance to be able to deliver large, highly detailed worlds with superb visual quality. We were making great progress feature-wise, but hardware and software limitations forced us to either scale down the number
