Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

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...

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 ...

    This new major order is called "Legitimate Undertaking" and is a multi-phase order. Both of the planets...

    Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Finally Released on PC After 10 Years

    And yet, there is a catch.

    The Tomb Raider reboot came out in 2013. In 2014, a remastered version of Tomb Raider was released under the name of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.

    Crystal Dynamics developed and released 2013's Tomb Raider. It featured a younger Lara Croft dealing with some unfortunate events on a dangerous island. That game came out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. In 2014, a "remastered" release of the game came out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox...

    Battlefield 2042's Stadium Map is More Spawn Area than Play Area

    *sigh*

    DICE just provided a new developer insight blog on the upcoming Stadium map coming to Battlefield 2042 on April 30th. The Stadium in question comes from the part of Hourglass that was removed when that map got its rework back in Season 5. Fans really, really wanted the Stadium to return and DICE listened.

    Only, the return of Stadium as its own map maybe leaves a lot to be desired. Today's developer blog shows off some of the changes the teams at EA made to rework...

    Blizzard says that "after careful consideration" they have decided to not hold BlizzCon in 2024. The studio says that the "decision was not made lightly."

    While Blizzard says that they hope the big in-person event will return in future years, they will be doing something a little different for 2024. Over the next few months, Blizzard will share details about some new launches for expansions coming for existing titles. Namely,...

    Update 3 is already in the works.

    The second major update was just released for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection following its disastrous launch. Somehow, these slight remasters of the classic titles necessitated several rounds of bug fixes for a myriad of issues. Even with today's major update, Aspyr says that they are already working on a third update for the game.

    Several of the issues fixed in today's update apply to all platforms. There are a handful of...

    Garry's Mod Forced to Pull Nintendo Content from Steam Workshop

    It's shocking the content lasted as long as it did.

    The Garry's Mod team, Facepunch Studios, announced today that they are in the process of "removing all Nintendo related stuff" from the Steam Workshop. Nintendo, being supremely protective of their intellectual properties, have issued takedown requests for Nintendo related content that users have uploaded.

    The notice about the removal of the content calls the takedown requests by Nintendo "fair."...

    TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

    Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

    On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

    This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

    How dare they take away the pixelated boobs!

Fans speculate that the change came in a recent update for the remastered trilogy of titles.

    Nintendo Wanted Samus Aran Fortnite Skin to be Switch Exclusive

    Sony and Microsoft do what Nintendon't.

    The permanent closure came without warning.

    Sony has permanently shut down the online servers for the PlayStation 4 version of LittleBigPlanet 3. The announcement of the permanent shut down came not with a big farewell announcement, but with a quiet update to one of the PlayStation support pages. The permanent shut down comes after the servers were taken down "temporarily" in January 2024.
