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.

  • Planetary Annihilation Early Access Being Sold at Retail - Developer Responds

    Planetary Annihilation is being sold at retail. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, however, Planetary Annihilation is an Early Access title. Yes, an Early Access game, a game that isn't actually finished yet, is being sold at retail.


    Uber Entertainment made some remarks to Game Informer about this terrible idea that will hopefully not turn into a trend. Here is what Jan Mavor from Uber said about the retail release.

    YouTube will soon have the ability to display a higher framerate than most Xbox One games (ho ho, I WENT THERE!). They revealed earlier this evening that they will "soon" have 48 FPS and 60 FPS options for uploaders. They even went so far as to include a few sample videos that are apparently already running at 60 FPS. Unfortunately for everyone, it seems as though YouTube still insists at compressing the visual quality down just as much as before. So while the jump in framerate is certainly welc...
