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.

    Cory Barlog Gives a Small Update on God of War Ragnarok

    The team is busy tightening up the graphics on level 3.

    It has been four years since God of War was released on the PlayStation 4. Since then, the game has been updated, given a nice PlayStation 5 update, and even found its way to the PC. It's a fantastic game, without a doubt, but one question still remains: Where is God of War Ragnarok?

    God of War director and producer on Ragnarok, Cory Barlog, offered a little thanks to the fans and provided just the smallest of updates...

    New VR Ghostbusters Game Announced

    Bustin in VR makes me feel extra good.

    During today's Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, a new VR game was announced. Shocking, I know. One such new announcement was for Ghostbusters VR, a new Quest 2 title where you will be running your own ghostbusting business set in San Francisco. This game will be a "new chapter" in the Ghostbusters universe, meaning that it won't be based off of previous games or movies.

    Though you are running a business, you can still partake...

    Snoop Dogg Playable Operator Added to Call of Duty Just in Time for 4/20

    I'm sure the timing is purely coincidental.

    Activision announced the release of the Tracer Pack: Snoop Dogg Operator Bundle earlier today. This pack is for both Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone.

    As you may have gathered already, this pack includes a playable Snoop Dogg Operator that you can use in both Vanguard and Warzone multiplayer sessions. The Doggfather was shown off in a new trailer (maybe embedded below? Who knows how the age restriction will handle...

    Players have found a number of changes that went undocumented.

    Today, update 4.0 was released for Battlefield 2042. We went over the numerous changes included in the extensive update 4.0 changelog just yesterday. However, even with that laundry list of fixes and adjustments, there were still some things that were changed that went undocumented by the developers at DICE.

    Thankfully, Reddit users are on the case and have compiled a list of over 30 changes that they have...

Some of those royalties supposedly dated back as much as 20 years, according to the lawsuit. Full details on this lawsuit from February 2022 can be found in our initial article.

    World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic Announced

    Dragonwhat? This is the real big Warcraft announcement for today, right here.

    Sure, Blizzard may have announced World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, but the bigger news is that they also announced World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic today! This makes a lot of sense since it seems as though World of Warcraft Classic is slowly following the old release schedule of the original game with content drops. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic came out back in May 2021....
