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...

  • Rumor (Probably Fake): What to Expect at E3 2014 - Beyond Good and Evil 2, God of War 4, Legend of Zelda: Shard of Nightmare

    This is the latest in the never ending run of rumors and speculation on what fans can expect to see from the Big Three at E3 2014. Hell, we've already seen the rumor about Sony's E3 2014 presentation, but why not a rumor with all three this time?

    This has all the hallmarks of a fake, including terrible JPG compression and a myriad of artifacts around every single word on the page. However, it certainly serves as a bit of hope or at least what fans hope to see at the event. ...

  • Bound by Flame Review (PS4)

    Bound by Flame Review (PS4)

    Bound by Flame initially seems like the type of game you would get if you threw some of the engaging and interesting game elements from The Witcher franchise in with the brutal difficulty of the Dark Souls series. In theory, this sounds like a gamer's dream come true. In execution, at least in the case of Bound by Flame, the end result leaves a lot to be desired. At the very start of the game, the player is asked to name their character. It doesn't really matter because the most it...
