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...

    Get a Look at the Curious Cast of the Borderlands Movie

    Every role just seems so miscast.

    Casting announcements for the Borderlands movie trickled out throughout early to mid-2021. Outside of a few silhouettes, we really didn't get a good look at what the cast actually looked like in character. That was true, at least until today.

    The media blitz for the Borderlands film looks like it's about to kick off. A few still images from the film came out today along with a movie poster and brief teaser trailer. A full trailer is...

    NieR's 2B Joins Cast of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising

    This is now 2B's second fighting game appearance.

    Helldivers 2 Server Issues Persist, Locking Many Out of Bonus XP Weekend

    Login issues and crashes are preventing players from making progress, bonus or otherwise.

    Over the course of the weekend, Arrowhead Game Studios decided to offer up a 50% bonus XP weekend for Helldivers 2. This bonus XP was meant to serve as an apology for the ever ongoing server issues plaguing the surprise hit of a game. Unfortunately, issues with server capacity not being able to meet player demand were never fixed and, for a lot of people, it has been impossible for many to even...

    Don't Be Fooled, The Day Before is Not back on Steam

    The new listing looks to be an even bigger scam than the legit game.

    You may have been informed via various social channels that The Day Before snuck its way back on to Steam today. From all outward appearances, the page looks to be a copy of the legitimate listing for The Day Before, at least before it was pulled from all storefronts and a bunch of drama ensued.

    A "new" Steam listing for The Day Before popped up a few hours ago on the Valve run storefront....

    The 'Valve Prism' VR Headset is Fake

    Stop believing everything you see on the Internet.

    The Internet did that thing again where they latched onto a clear hoax as if it were real. Someone put up a website for a "Valve Prism" virtual reality headset earlier today and tried to pass it off as a legitimate device from Valve. Except it's fake. It's not real. You all got bamboozled.

    At a glance, the website seems convincing enough. It depicts various renders, fluff words, and impressive technical specs...

    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.
