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...

  • 1Win India in Today’s Life

    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

    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

    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.
