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.

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...

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 ...

    Skills You Can Learn From Online Gaming


    Online gaming has been around for a long time. Xbox gave gamers the ability to play against others online in the early 2000s, closely followed by PlayStation. Having the ability to play the same game with other players from anywhere across the globe revolutionized gaming.

    Since online gaming started, there have been consistent improvements in technology, and the games have become so much more sophisticated. The gaming community has also advanced, and there are tremendous opportunities...

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Will No Longer Receive New Content

    I'm sure dozens of people are upset by this.

    Ubisoft announced that they will no longer release any new content for Ghost Recon Breakpoint. This reveal comes several months after the release of the last piece of content for the game, Operation Motherland, which came out on November 2, 2021.

    Really, today's announcement was probably just a confirmation of what the remaining fans of the game already kind of figured out by now. Ghost Recon Breakpoint did receive about two...

    CD Projekt Red Explains Their Decision to Use Unreal Ending 5 for The Witcher 4

    A big reason was stability.

    During today's "State of Unreal" stream, CD Projekt Red had a moment to explain just why they have decided to use Unreal Engine 5 for their upcoming Witcher sequel. The decision was made a while back to develop this sequel, be it called The Witcher 4 or something else, using Unreal Engine 5 instead of their in-house REDengine 4. I bet you didn't see this move coming, but if you are a betting man (or woman) be sure to check out casino online....

    Elden Ring's Radahn Boss Gets Un-Nerfed in Latest Patch

    A new update includes just one change but it's a big one for those who hate nerfs.

    A small update was released earlier today for Elden Ring. This April 4 patch is available for all platforms that the game is currently available on. Though small in size, this patch has some big repercussions for players who have not yet defeated one of the game's main boss encounters.

    Back when Elden Ring's patch 1.03 came out, it included a number of little adjustments to the game. Some...

    No Paramount+ subscription required but act fast.

    Paramount+ just released the first episode of the Halo TV series for free on YouTube. This freebie will be yours to watch for a limited time before being removed on April 7. Oh, you also have to be in a region where Paramount+ is available in order to watch it on YouTube.

    Twitch Disables Paid Channel Boosts Due to Pornography

    Twitch being horny on main.

    Late last year, Twitch began to test a system that would allow viewers to pay real money to boost a streamer's channel to Twitch's main page. This would perhaps give the streamer some added exposure and help their channel grow. It was also obviously an easy way for Twitch (ie: Amazon) to pull in even more money.

    Today, that grand experiment came to a predictable end. Viewers were using this boost feature to push channels to the main page of...
