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...

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

  • NPD Sales Figures for February Show Strong Figures for PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U

    The NPD sales figures for both software and hardware for the month of February 2014 were released earlier this evening. Keep in mind that the NPD does not know much of anything when it comes to digital sales of software and other figures are outright speculation.

    With that in mind, let's take a look at the software sales leaders for February.
    1. Call of Duty: Ghosts (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PC) 2. The Lego Movie Videogame (360, PS3, 3DS, Wii U, Xbox One,

    Creating the Alien in Alien: Isolation

    I can imagine that the visual look for the Alien in Alien: Isolation didn't take much thought. They did have a bunch of material to work with already for that. However, you probably don't know yet what an Alien thinks why they do what they do. That's where this latest trailer for Alien: Isolation comes into play.

    Here is "Creating the Alien."


    Alien: Isolation is slated for release in late 2014 for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC....

    Valve Added a Report Function for Games on Steam

    Ever wanted to report a game on Steam for some odd reason or another? Well, now you can!

    A "report this product" feature was added today to every game on Steam. Simply click on a little flag icon (to the right of where it says "Share" and "Embed") to get the following report window.

    There is really no telling what function this will really have as I doubt many titles will be (nor should be) pulled simply for offending a few people, but I suppose we'll have to wai...

    PSA: Steam has a BAFTA Sale Going on Until Tomorrow

    The British Academy Games Awards (BAFTA) are being celebrated through a small sale on Steam. The sale claims it's on for 24 hours but I have no idea when it began. It should be safe to assume that you should buy what you want right when you see it instead of waiting.

    It includes such titles as Surgeon Simulator 2013, The Stanley Parable, Tomb Raider, Gunpoint, Brothers, and many more great titles. Again, the clock is ticking on these, so hurry up and check out the ...

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
