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.

Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Far Cry Classic Launch Trailer is a Blast from the Past

    Remember when Far Cry was the graphical powerhouse game that was benchmarked up and down the river for quite some time? Remember that? I do. It's weird how far games have come graphically since then.

    With the release of Far Cry Classic on the PS3 and 360, you can now re-live those days of shooting some decent human AI in a tropical environment.

    Return to where it all began with Far Cry Classic and relive the game that launched a legacy. With graphical enhancements,

    Goat Simulator is Real and is Really Coming to Steam

    The world demanded it (for some reason) and Coffee Stain Studios is going to deliver. Goat Simulator is a real game and it's really coming to Steam and you will really have to pay money to experience it. Really.

    The game was never meant to be released to the public. It was merely the creation from a recent game jam but holy crap the world went nuts after seeing footage for the game. I mean, I guess they did. That's what people are telling me even though I never heard about...
