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.

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...

    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.

    I'm simply going to link to the first episode of Halo on YouTube, because embedding it is probably a crapshoot given YouTube's age restrictions and the...

  • Twitch Disables Paid Channel Boosts Due to Pornography

    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...

    According to a report from Windows Central, Microsoft may soon be adding an often-requested Family Plan to Xbox Game Pass.

    E3 2022 is Fully Cancelled

    Oh no, what will we ever do?

    The in-person event for E3 was already cancelled a while back for 2022. The potential was still lingering in the air that a digital event would be held again, as it was in 2021. Thankfully, someone opened up a window and that lingering rumor finally dissipated.

    E3 2022 is cancelled in every regard. There is no in-person event. There is no digital event. It's done. It's gone. It's outta here. Goodbye, E3.

    Xbox Backtracks on Sharing Media to Twitter Removal

    The complaints have been heard.

    Some weeks back, newer Insider builds for the Xbox consoles removed the ability to share screenshots and clips directly to Twitter. The only way you would be able to post to Twitter, would have been to first upload the screenshots to the Xbox app on your phone and then send out the Tweets from that.

    Why was this feature removed in the first place? It's not really clear. All that was clear was that users were not happy about this change....
