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...

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".

    Valve Writer Erik Wolpaw Wants to do Portal 3

    Time is not on his side.

    Co-writer on Portal and Portal 2, Erik Wolpaw, says that he would love to work on Portal 3, but there are some hurdles at Valve to overcome.

    Wolpaw recently appeared in the Kiwi Talkz podcast (embedded below). Near the end of the interview, Wolpaw says, "we've gotta start Portal 3. That's my message to... to whoever." He continues on to say that he isn't getting any younger and that if Valve wants to do Portal 3 with any of the original...

    Blizzard President Denies NFT Speculation After Survey Mentioned Them

    NFTs are currently not on the menu.

    On Friday, April 15, an email was sent out to a (seemingly) random assortment of users, players, and owners of Activision Blizzard products. In the email was a request to fill out a survey for Blizzard that would help them "understand our players better." It would also help them "improve (their) products and services."

    I actually received the survey request on Friday and went through the whole process of filling it...

    Bobby Kotick's Post-Acquisition Fate Still Undecided

    Talks have supposedly not yet happened yet.

    Activision Blizzard says that they have not yet talked to Microsoft about what Bobby Kotick's employment status will be after Microsoft's acquisition of the company. As of right now, Kotick is still the CEO of Activision Blizzard despite the numerous legal battles and accusations of sexual harassment and discrimination that have hit the company.

    As first spotted by Stephen Totilo, Activision added a line to its United States...

    Kojima Productions to Remain Independent

    This announcement comes after a rollercoaster of a week for conspiracy theorists.

    Yesterday, Sony Interactive Entertainment updated their PlayStation Studios website banner to include a showcase of games that are offered up exclusively from PlayStation. Typically, the banner only displayed characters from Sony's first-party studios, but the most recent change included one particularly interesting character.

    On the new banner, on the far left side, is none other than Sam...

    Travis' latest adventure will no longer be Switch exclusive.

    No More Heroes 3 will be coming to PlayStation4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in Fall 2022. This was announced a short time ago today by XSEED Games.

    No More Heroes 3 was originally released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive back in August 2021. As you can probably expect, this upcoming release will include a number of new visual and performance upgrades. The original Switch release wasn't exactly...

    1Win India in Today’s Life

    Brief 1Win review

    In 2016, a new bookmaker opened its doors. Initially, the name FirstBet was chosen, but in 2018, it was changed to 1Win. The Curacao Gaming Commission gave the bookmaker its license (No. 8048/JAZ2018-040). As a result, we can confidently assert that sportsbooks are legal and competent in operating in India's betting industry.

    A deposit of 300 Indian rupees can be made using any of the following methods: UPI, PayTM, Skrill, or GPay. If new users deposit...

    DICE Says Battlefield 2042 Hovercraft Climbing is Removed in Update 4.0

    Truly, the end of an era.

    Prior to the release of Battlefield 2042, players discovered that the hovercraft was able to scale completely vertical surfaces. This led to situations that was sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating, but always gravity defying.

    This, let's call it "exploit," went unchecked for months now. However, it seems as though the era of the gravity defying hovercraft is about to come to an end. A member of the DICE development team working...

    Saints Row Customization Showcase Scheduled for April

    Will focus on customization. Obviously.

    Volition has been rather quiet when it comes to all things Saints Row over these past several months. The last we heard about Saints Row was when it was back in November 2021 when it was delayed by several months from February 25 to August 23, 2022. Before that, we were at least given a lengthy gameplay reveal video.

    That silence was broken today as Volition and Deep Silver announced a big customization showcase for Saints Row. This...

    Hello Games Says New Project is Super Ambitious

    The No Man's Sky developer isn't quite ready to talk about it just yet though.

    Hello Games is working on a new project that is apparently so ambitious it would "seem impossible" even with a team of 1,000 members. This is according to Hello Games' co-founder Sean Murray in a brief interview with IGN.

    Murray says that what they have been working on since at least September 2021 is not a sequel to No Man's Sky. It is, however, just as ambitious a project.
