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.

  • Bungie Says Parity with Previous Console Generation is the Reason Destiny Is Not 60fps

    Yet again, we're faced with another case of development of a game for the previous console generation holding back performance on the current generation of consoles. Development for four platforms is apparently the reason why Destiny does not run at 60fps on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
    "It's a lot of different things," explains Jason Sussman who is the senior environment artist at Bungie. "I could get really technical, but I’d bore you to death. A lot has to do with performance. We’re

    Xbox One to Receive Separate Battlefield: Hardline Beta

    Right now, the beta for Battlefield: Hardline is limited to PC and PlayStation 4 owners.

Cry no more, Xbox One owners, because you will apparently get a beta that is quite different from what everyone else is presently enjoying the hell out of.

    The NPD figures for May are in and it looks like Sony once again dominates in hardware. Sony once again said that they are the "best selling hardware" for the month of May.

    Valve dished out a 52-week long ban on Thomas Duda, a developer with SCS Software, the studio behind the Euro Truck Simulator series. His ban came after Duda showed off a security exploit in Valve's own Steam Community that would allow for scripts to be run without issue. He showcased the vulnerability by making the screen shake and play the Harlem Shake. Valve banned him shortly after for "violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement." The issue here is that according to Duda, he...

Earlier today, it was discovered that Ubisoft actually left in old files that brings the game to look almost identical to what was shown off f...
