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...

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

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 ...

    New Graphics Cards Announced by AMD, Nvidia, and Intel at CES 2022

    More hardware that will be in short supply that you will never get to buy.

    CES 2022 is underway, though there really isn't much of an "in-person" presence this year. Even still, some new tech was announced on the first day that was worth sharing. AMD and Nvidia both announced new releases of their current lineup of Radeon and GeForce cards respectively. Intel announced its first generation of Arc series GPUs.

    Death Stranding Director's Cut Confirmed for PC

    This release will be one of the first to utilize Intel's XeSS technology.

    As many had hoped back when it was first announced for the PlayStation 5, Death Stranding Director's Cut is indeed coming out soon for the PC. The PS5 release happened on September 24, 2021 and the PC release is said to be coming out Spring 2022. I'm going to guess it will be a late March 2022 release as that will place it almost exactly six months out from the original PlayStation 5 release.

    Ken Levine's newest project is said to be stuck in "development hell."

    Developer Ken Levine has a rather impressive list of titles under his belt. He has worked on games such as Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock 2, and the first three mainline BioShock titles. About eight years ago, Levine announced his new project with his new studio, Ghost Story Games. Since then, not much about the game has been revealed.

    Sony Reveals a Solid PlayStation Plus Lineup for January 2022

    Another solid lineup for PlayStation Plus subscribers awaits you in the new year.

    Sony just revealed the PlayStation Plus lineup of "free" games that are coming for subscribers in the new year. As has been typical for the past several months, the lineup is a rather solid one, especially in comparison to recent Games with Gold Xbox titles from Microsoft. Of course, this is all very subjective, but I just can't shake the feeling that the PlayStation Plus games have just been...

    Valve Reveals Steam's Best Games for 2021

    Contrary to popular belief, not everything was delayed in 2021.

    Once again, Valve employees have poured through the data over the course of hundreds of hours to produce a list of the biggest and best-selling games available through Steam in 2021. It's either that, or they just had a program compile all of the data for them, but the alternative sounds more thrilling.

    Valve has broken down Steam's "Best of 2021" into several categories. They have listings for the...

    Starting off the new year with a, uh, well... they're free at least.

    Microsoft has announced their Games with Gold "free" games for January 2022 already. I assume this early announcement is due to those silly things like Christmas and New Years coming up at a rapid rate.

    These games will start to be available starting on January 1, 2022. The games include NeuroVoider, Aground, Radiant Silvergun, and Space Invaders Infinity Gene. As always, these games are "free"...

    Sully's Mustache Appears in Newest Uncharted Movie Trailer

    All is right with the world.

    A new trailer for the Uncharted film came out this week. It features a lot more of Tom Holland's Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg's Victor "Sully" Sullivan in action.

    Perhaps the biggest thing of note in the new trailer is the appearance of Sully's iconic mustache. The lack of a mustache in the film's first trailer was something that I certainly took issue with (along with most other fans of the franchise). I still feel like the mustache...
