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...

    Rob Riggle to Play Frank West in Dead Rising Film

    First of all, I wasn't aware that a Dead Rising film was even a thing. If I did know about it, I've obviously forgotten about it by now. Secondly, comedian and actor Rob Riggle is being brought on to play Frank West in the film.

    You may recognize Riggle from his appearances as a Daily Show correspondent and for his roles in The Other Guys and 21 Jump Street, to name a few. So, what about this film then?

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Review

    Second verse, same as the first.

    Even after 30 hours spent with the game, a full completion of the normal game and a small bit of True Vault Hunter Mode played, I still cannot help but feel like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a glorified expansion for Borderlands 2. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved Borderlands 2. I spent over 148 hours in Borderlands 2 and still never explored all of that game's content. Therein lies the rub. Here we have a game that is mechanic...

    Let the following story be a lesson in how not to respond when or if your game ends up on Steam. Mike Maulbeck, the developer behind the game Paranautical Activity threatened to kill Valve's Gabe Newell.

    Because the Steam storefront accidentally listed the game as being on "Early Access" even though it left Early Access and was officially released today. That is literally the only reason that threat was made.
