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.

    The "Nightmare" trailer above comes with the following lines:

    EA announced that the final DLC release for Battlefield 4, Final Stand, has been delayed. The DLC will now be released during EA's third fiscal quarter, which places the release between October and December of this year. The news comes from EA's Q1 2015 earnings call.
