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...

    Review: Dying Light 2 Stay Human (PC)

    If you liked Dying Light, you're going to love Dying Light 2.

    It is late in the evening on the Tuesday before the review embargo lifts. The embargo is lifting in about half a day, and in typical fashion I'm waiting until the last second to put my thoughts to digital paper.

    Having spent the past week playing Dying Light 2 Stay Human, I can confidently say that I am ready to give my verdict. That verdict being: Dying Light 2 is damn fun. Fans of the original will undoubtedly...

    Battlefield 2042 Season One Delayed Until Summer

    The developers need extra time to try to fix the literal everything that is wrong with the game first.

    Where do I even start with this one. Alright, first off, it was announced today that Season One for Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until at least Summer 2022. That means there will not be any new maps, weapons, gadgets, Specialists, or whatever until at least late June. While there wasn't really any official date previously announced, the running theory is that Season One would...

    Ah Europe. The land of French wines and cheeses, German beer, farming simulators, Greek architecture, and a little thing called Brexit for the United Kingdom. Where would we be without Europe? I'll tell you where we'd be: The Atlantic Ocean would be a lot bigger, that's for sure.

    Besides food, a good drink, and a unified currency, what else is it that Europeans love so much? Oh, that's right: They love to gamble! Those Europeans, famous for their love of gambling in all forms....

    Hey mister, you wanna wrestle?

    Oh God, posting news on a Sunday evening? It's more likely than you think. This is all because a new gameplay trailer for WWE 2K22 came out this weekend and I opened up my work email for whatever stupid reason.

    They call this the "Booyaka Gameplay Trailer." It shows off a number of the wrestlers, along with "stunning visuals made possible by the redesigned gameplay engine, crisp new animations, new game modes including MyGM,...

    Out of Touch Ubisoft Executive Says Gamers 'Don't Get It' When it Comes to NFTs

    NFTs continue to be a scam.

    Remember how back in December 2021, Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, which was a series of new NFTs that aim to fleece enrich the lives of video game players? The response to Quartz was super expected by anybody with even half a brain: Nobody wanted it. Nobody saw the benefit of it. Everybody saw it as a way to just squeeze more cash out of people by artificially creating scarcity using a system known to be harmful to the environment and used only by the...
