TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

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...

  • Crysis 4 is in Development

    Crysis 4 is in Development

    It's very, very early in development.

    Crytek announced that they are indeed working on a Crysis 4. The announcement came from CEO Avni Yerli in a press release on the Crytek website.

    Crytek says that the game is still in the early stages of development, so it will likely be quite a long time before we see much of anything on this one. They also mention that they will be "listening to our community." Whatever that means as it applies to this game.

    Blizzard is Working on a Survival Game

    The studio is hiring for a number of roles for this new title.

    Blizzard looks like they are working on a new but unannounced survival game. In a now deleted news post, Blizzard said that they are working on a new, AAA survival game for both PC and unspecified consoles. Though, something tells me it's probably going to be console-exclusive to Xbox. The game will be made in a brand new universe.

    The deleted post said that the game will be "a place full of heroes we...

    You don't want to miss this one.

    Square Enix just released the final trailer for Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin today, even though the game won't be out until March 18, 2022. It's a baffling choice to release the "final" trailer almost two months ahead of release, but with a game like this it seems to be about par for the course.

    Elden Ring is Still Difficult but Less Stressful for Players

    Enemies won't be any less difficult, but Elden Ring will be a bit less stressful for players than Dark Souls.

    FromSoftware's Yasuhiro Kitao took some time to speak at the Taipei Game Show about Elden Ring. We already learned from him that Elden Ring has gone gold, but there was a wealth of additional information shared.

    One of those nuggets of information is the fact that Elden Ring has been designed still be as challenging as previous FromSoftware games but will still...

    Hidden Deep is Now Available

    Just how many different phobias do you have?

    The one-man development studio that makes up Cogwheel Software just released a new sci-fi thriller, Hidden Deep. Today's release is a Steam Early Access release, but it seems to be quite polished from what I've seen so far. Still, the game will continue to receive new content updates and patches as the Early Access rolls on.

    The core idea of the game is that you are controlling a recon team sent into a claustrophobic underground...
