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 ...

  • Time Loops and Space Whales Added to No Man's Sky

    Time Loops and Space Whales Added to No Man's Sky

    Latest expedition offers a chance to get your very own space whale.

    No Man's Sky "Leviathan" is the latest expedition to arrive for space adventurers. Leviathan adds in some interesting new game mechanics for players to work their way through, including a little time looping and space whales.

    I suppose technically, they aren't whales, but they are in space. They are alien leviathan creatures, but they have already been come to be seen as space whales by the community....

    Customizable Pronouns Added to The Sims 4

    Launched in English first.

    One of the more progressive game franchises out there just got a bit more progressive. An update has rolled out to The Sims 4 that now allows you to customize the pronouns applied to characters within the game. This is a change from the previous system that defaulted set pronouns to characters based on chosen body types.

    With today's update, players can now enter into the Create a Sim menu to choose from a couple of premade options such as They/Them....

  • Daybreak Cancels Marvel MMO

    Daybreak Cancels Marvel MMO

    Funds will now move to several smaller projects instead of one big game.

    Last year, a Marvel MMO was announced to be in development at Daybreak Game Company. This is the same studio that made DC Universe Online which still continues to operate to my surprise.

    Daybreak's parent company, Enad Global 7, says that instead of dumping a ton of money into making one big game, they will instead spread that money out across several smaller projects. Some of these "smaller...

  • Real Witcher School Has License Pulled by CD Projekt Red

    Real Witcher School Has License Pulled by CD Projekt Red

    The alt-right might have something to do with it, because of course.

    There once existed a real Witcher school in Poland. I say "once" because the school had its license pulled by CD Projekt Red back in February. The reason for the license getting pulled may be due to one of the school's staff belonging to a prominent alt-right group.

    The Witcher school in question was named 5 Żywiołów, or 5 Elements. It began in 2015 and held roughly 40 events over...

  • Is Overwatch 2 Doomed to Fail?

    Is Overwatch 2 Doomed to Fail?

    Reinventing a service or game is never easy, whilst there are a few that have done it in the past, it’s often not something that turns out all that well. There’s a reason why many services have a certain formula and approach that they stick to and is proven to work. Many of the biggest genres like betting for example will seem familiar in how they operate and even in the bonuses as players can check BetMGM Registration code in Ontario for bonuses for example – operators won’t...

  • To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042

    To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042

    This is the least shocking news ever.

    DICE announced that they are no longer going to support or release new content for the Hazard Zone mode in Battlefield 2042.

    Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could they end support for something that they never supported in the first place?" And you would be correct in asking that rhetorical question. What this essentially means is that DICE isn't going to convert any new maps into Hazard Zone variants. The mode will...

    These features were revealed both in a new PlayStation Blog post as well as a new trailer (seen below). Avalanche says that players will see "more flexibility in combat" thanks to the adaptive triggers in the...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Releasing October 28

    The sequel remake to the remake and reboot of a game that was remastered.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28. This is the follow-up to the Call of Duty: Moden Warfare game that came out in 2019, which was a remake of a 2007 game which led to a direct sequel, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in 2009. Got it? Good.

    Today's release date reveal included a weird video clip and what is possibly the cover art for the game. With a literal boatload of money...

    Kiryu Joins Rainbow Six Siege

    Well, sort of.

    Year 7 Season 2 for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege will begin on June 7. When it arrives, it will feature a crossover with the Yakuza franchise that probably nobody saw coming.

    There will be exclusive bundles released for the Rainbow Six Operators Echo and Hibana that transform them into Kazuma Kiryu and Kaoru Sayama respectively. The end of the new trailer showcasing these skins offered up a tease of a possible third skin that sure as hell seems like Goro...

  • Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule

    Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule

    PlayStation Japan did an oopsie.

    Bungie has been very cagey about releasing any information regarding Season 17 for Destiny 2. This silence is very unlike the studio, as they commonly have massive information drops days if not weeks ahead of a new Season. In fact, the plan was to not even release the Season 17 trailer until mere hours before the Season begins on Tuesday, May 24.

    Leave it up to forces outside of their control to ruin some big surprises for players. PlayStation...

  • Development Reportedly Resumes on Stalker 2

    Development Reportedly Resumes on Stalker 2

    Development was paused earlier this year due to the war in Ukraine.

    In early March it was reported that development on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl was put on hold due to Russia's violent invasion of Ukraine. The Kyiv, Ukraine based development team of GSC Game World opted to put their safety and the safety of their families ahead of the creation of a video game.

    This week, news that development has resumed on Stalker 2 came from Polish outlet GRY-Online and relayed...

    Jesus Christ Responds to Crucifixion with Vengeance in I, The Inquisitor

    Jesus is back and he's pissed.

    Development studio The Dust just announced I, The Inquisitor. This new game currently in development is an action-adventure story-driven game based on a book series by author Jacek Piekara. In this book series, Jesus of Nazareth didn't take too kindly to being crucified, responding not with forgiveness but with rage.

    In the centuries that follow, His followers vow to carry out Biblical justice against those that have committed crimes and...
