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.

    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...

    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 ...
