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.

  • Phil Spencer Again Says that Rare is an Important Part of the Future of Xbox

    "Right now with Rare we're at a point where I don't want the Rare brand to mean Kinect Sports. The Rare brand can be more valuable to them, to us and to gamers than that. "I think it's about them thinking about the next game that's going to be the next 'Rare game' and really

    Microsoft Finally Admits that Rise of the Tomb Raider is a Timed Exclusive

    Microsoft really needs to lay off of using the word "exclusive" when they continue to pull stunts like this.

    Earlier today Phil Spencer finally admitted that the "exclusive" release of the new Rise of the Tomb Raider is only a timed exclusive for the Xbox platform. Unfortunately,...

    According to a little leak by the Konami Europe site, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be coming to the PC and Steam.

    Interestingly, the main page clearly shows the headline of TPP and GZ coming to Steam but clicking on them results in a page not found message.

    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.
