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...

    King Files to Abandon Its Trademark on the Word 'Candy'

    Perhaps feeling the heat of the Internet, King is now filing for express abandonment of its trademark on the word "Candy."

    The Candy Crush Saga developer confirmed the move to Kotaku.
    King has withdrawn its trademark application for Candy in the U.S., which we applied for in February 2013 before we acquired the early rights to Candy Crusher. Each market that King operates in is different with regard to IP. We feel that having the rights to Candy Crusher is the best option for

Let Respawn Entertainment's own Vince Zampella tell you the exact same thing I already said....

The book apparently details the corporate battle that "helped turn video games into a massive industry." The book itself isn't even out yet. ...

    Oculus revealed that they will have to temporarily suspend production on the Oculus Rift developer kits due to certain components no longer being manufactured. Without parts, they can't make more Rifts. Seems simple enough.
