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...

Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    George Broussard Disagrees with Scott Miller's 'Truth' About Duke Nukem Forever

    Fight fight fight. Kiss kiss kiss.

    On May 9, we shared some news that a 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever was leaking media across the Internet. That build is supposedly going to be released in June. The story really doesn't end there though.

    When news started to circulate about this Duke Nukem Forever leak, Duke Nukem co-creator George Broussard said on Twitter that the leak sure looked like the real deal. He also said that he wasn't really keen on talking more about it...

    2001 Build of Duke Nukem Forever Might be Released in June

    A leaker wants to get this out to the public.

    For better or worse, Duke Nukem Forever sure is a video game. At one point, however, it was an almost completely different game. A version of Duke Nukem Forever that was shown at E3 2001 ended up being nothing like the final release that Gearbox put out in 2011. If you need some sort of a reminder of 2011's release, I did write a review for Duke Nukem Forever (the images are long gone). At the time, I found it to be rather mediocre as did...

    Hunt: Showdown Servers Maliciously Attacked

    The attacks happened during a special in-game event.

    In March, Crytek kicked off a special Traitor's Moon event in Hunt: Showdown, the studio's popular PvPvE game. This event would reward players with some legendary skins, provided you played enough to earn enough points to redeem for said skins. Problem was that the event was plagued by constant server woes.

    Crytek deployed several patches, hotfixes, and statements about the situation. They apologized to their fans for...

    Star Citizen is Adding Bedsheet Deformation

    This isn't going over well with fans.

    Cloud Imperium Games has been working on developing Star Citizen for well over a decade now. It still is not finished. It's more of a game than it once was, but it's nowhere near finished. According to their own funding tracker, the team has already amassed over $457 million (USD) in funding. Again, the game is still not finished yet.

    The latest developer update from Cloud Imperium Games maybe shines a little light as to why the game...

    Season 2 isn't living up to anybody's expectations.

    Halo Infinite Season 2 launched earlier this week and it hasn't gone over too well with fans. Players of all skill types have been hit by several new bugs.

    Players have complained about the semi-automatic weapons "jamming" on them when firing. Looking through the Halo Infinite subreddit shows several other issues such as not being rewarded for completing weekly challenges, attachments and charms being bugged...
