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.

    New Campaign Story Trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

    With nations brought to their knees by a global terrorist attack, the world turns to Atlas, the largest private military company on the planet. Power, though, changes everything.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is actually looking pretty good there. I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I'm inevitably always burned hard on these games when they're actually released....

    SecuROM DRM Found in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

    Despite EA's good will in offering a free copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection to everyone, it seems as though the nasty DRM known as SecuROM is included in the install.

    Reclaim Your Game has discovered the presence of the dreaded copy protection system, SecuROM, after digging through the files for the game. They say that they have found no issues as a result of it being included and also note that it is entirely possible it is simply left over from the original release...

  • Rust is Still in Development Despite One Guy at Facepunch Working on a Prototype Game

    Gaming communities can be full of idiots. I'm not going to sugar coat that fact. The latest to suffer from such a community is Facepunch Studios. Recently, one of the employees, Adam Woolridge, revealed a prototype game, Riftlight, that he alone is working on. Suddenly, the Rust community loses their collective minds and begin to pick up pitchforks against Facepunch for not delivering a finished product in Rust. They are upset that Rust development is somehow taking a back seat n...

    Digital Foundry Examines The Last of Us Remastered and Framerate

    The latest "Digital Foundry vs." feature takes a hard look at The Last of Us Remastered. One of the big promises for the release is that the game will have an unlocked framerate that will hit the sweet 60fps. Just how often does it hit that magical number, though?
    To answer the question everyone's been asking, frame-rate isn't locked to 60fps, but The Last of Us Remastered does spend the vast majority of its time at the optimal refresh. Problems can kick in during busy combat scenes, and
