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...

President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, announced the layoffs to the public today. The public statement came after an email was sent to all employees informing them of the layoffs. From Ryan's...
 

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 ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

    New Saints Row is Apparently a Broken Mess

    The reviews are in and critics agree: Yikes!

    If you were debating on picking up the new Saints Row game when it comes out on August 23, 2022 you should probably not get it. Just don't buy it. In fact, I'd probably wait maybe a year or so before picking it up. Not only will the game more than likely be out on Steam at that point for you PC users, but it will probably also be a lot less buggy. It will probably also be available for a big discount.

    The newest entry in a franchise...

    Season 2 is called "The Depths of Tharis Island" and...

    PGA Tour 2K23 Featuring Tiger Woods Available on October 14

    There's an early release date set for October 11 for those who pony up the extra dosh.

    Watch Almost 20 Seconds of The Last of Us HBO Series

    We finally get a look at The Last of Us in a format that isn't a still image.

    For those who have been craving literally any new media from the upcoming HBO series for The Last of Us, today is your lucky day. HBO showed us nearly 20 whole seconds of footage from the upcoming show. Admittedly it's not much at all, it's still quite a bit more than the single still image we were given back in September 2021.

    If still images are more your speed though, HBO has you covered there...

    The free-to-play brawler surpassed all challengers.

    MultiVersus is the newly released platform fighter/brawler from WB Games and Player First Games. Despite the game being completely free-to-play for everyone, it ended up being the best-selling game of July 2022.

    Diablo 4 Ditches Loot Boxes for Battle Passes

    Your money has no power here.

    Blizzard says that instead of any sort of loot box mechanics in Diablo 4, they will instead embrace the Season Pass system. This makes a lot of sense seeing as how Blizzard also announced the removal of loot boxes from Overwatch and Overwatch 2 earlier this month.

    Blizzard made this announcement as part of its latest development update. They also confirmed that Diablo 4 will be a full-priced title, so while you are free to spend money on cosmetics...

    Death Stranding Coming to Game Pass Next Week

    This will be for PC Game Pass users only.

    Microsoft announced that Death Stranding will be hitting PC Game Pass on August 23, 2022. The announcement was made via a cheeky little image posted to the official Game Pass Twitter account.

    The tweet, seen below, shows what looks to be Sam "Porter" Bridges carrying a metal case across the landscape. On the case is a green sticker providing the name of the game, Death Stranding, the words "PC GAME PASS" and...

    Battlefield 2042 Player Discovers Mysterious Crate and Cryptic Message

    A teaser for Season 2 or something more?

    Easter eggs and wild ARGs are really nothing new to the Battlefield franchise, but so far, we haven't really had any in Battlefield 2042. A few hours ago, Reddit user TheSacredShrimp shared a screenshot of a unique Playercard background that contains a bit of a cryptic message.

    TheSacredShrimp shared this image through the LowSodium2042 subreddit.

    The background is entitled "They are Everywhere" and depicts what looks...

    Old id and Bethesda Games Added to PC Game Pass

    Five new Game Pass titles, or four if you ignore Battlespire.

    QuakeCon 2022 began earlier today with a little welcome message from Marty Stratton. I'm sure it was great. I don't know, I didn't watch it. What I do know is that Bethesda and id Software added some classic PC titles to Game Pass today. These are in addition to three free games available now through the Microsoft Store, plus three "new" games available for sale through the Microsoft Store.

    Dead Island 2 seems to be back from the dead... again.

    Dead Island 2 was announced way back at E3 2014. The announcement trailer was pretty great. It was supposed to be out Spring 2015. Then it was delayed until 2016. Then the Dead Island 2 developer, Yager, was dropped by Deep Silver. Then in 2016 it was reported that Sumo Digital took over the development of Dead Island 2. Then in 2019, Sumo Digital partnered with 2K for some mystery projects, with at least one presumed to be Dead...
