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...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones?

  • Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

    A largely unremarkable open-world title saved by a few unique gameplay mechanics.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps the most enjoyable open world title I have played in recent memory, but only if you count the game's second half. The problem is that it takes a while to get to the point where it was a blast to play. The first half of the game is largely unremarkable while the second half makes it feel almost like an entirely new experience. This is main due to late...

    The final in the #HowWillYouSurvive series for Alien: Isolation was released today by Sega called Last Chance.

    Sevastopol Station is a deadly place and the danger does not always come from the three meter tall hunter/killer on the loose. The station’s artificial lifeforms, ‘Working Joe’ synthetics, may be rudimentary but remain lethal to those caught unaware; the station’s surviving human population may not always present a friendly face, scavenging what little resources

    Be One with the Zombie in Latest Dying Light Trailer

    It looks as though Dying Light will feature some asymmetrical multiplayer for players to partake in, where someone will get to be a powerful undead with upgradable abilities.


    There's a terrible catch to all of this, though. The "Be the Zombie" multiplayer mode is only part of the pre-purchase offer for the game. It seems as though if you don't pre-purchase the game, you won't be able to play this mode, at least not at launch.

    That's terrible....
