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...

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 ...

  • Multiversus is WB's Stab at a Smash Bros. Like Game

    Multiversus is WB's Stab at a Smash Bros. Like Game

    The Shaggy power memes will probably make a comeback because of this.

    Warner Bros. has officially announced a new fighting game that blends together characters from several of its popular franchises. It's called Multiversus and it will be a free-to-play fighter that seems like one part Smash Bros. and one part Bugs Bunny.

    The reveal came courtesy of a new and in-depth trailer that came out earlier today. The developer behind the game, Player First Games, says that Multiversus...

    Sega Announces Sonic and Yakuza Colognes

    Now you too can smell like a chili eating hedgehog or sweaty muscle man.

    You ever just sit back and ponder what Sonic the Hedgehog would smell like? He's known for eating chili dogs, so would he smell like that or something else? He also likes running through lush green landscapes, so would he perhaps smell instead like freshly washed laundry drying in a summer breeze? It really makes you think, doesn't it?

    Thankfully, Sega is here to save us all from life's greatest mystery....

  • The Day 1 Battlefield 2042 Patch is Anemic

    The Day 1 Battlefield 2042 Patch is Anemic

    It's a whole lot of nothing.

    Battlefield 2042 has been available for those that ponied up the big bucks for the Gold or Ultimate editions, priced at $89.99 (USD) and $109.99 respectively. The standard edition of the game is slated to be released in about a day from now on November 19. To say that the game needs a ton of work would be a gross understatement.

    The only hope was the promised "Day 1" patch for the game that was said to arrive just prior to the standard...

    Halo Infinite Multiplayer is Great, but the Battle Pass is Horrendous

    Thankfully 343 Industries says that they are "looking at" progression.

    After this week's surprise release of the Halo Infinite multiplayer, the general feeling among the community has been rather positive. That is, it's been largely positive except for one thing. Most fans seem to agree that the progression system for the game's Battle Pass is God-freaking-awful. Thankfully, 343 Industries say that they are "looking at" the Battle Pass progression and are "gathering...

  • Saints Row Distances Self from Elden Ring with Lengthy Delay

    Saints Row Distances Self from Elden Ring with Lengthy Delay

    February 2022 just got a little less packed.

    The Saints Row reboot was originally scheduled to be released on February 25, 2022. If that date sounds familiar to you, it's probably because that's the exact same date that Elden Ring moved to after receiving its own delay.

    Saints Row will now release on August 23, 2022. Even if you ignore that Elden Ring would be released on February 25, the month of February 2022 was already looking to be pretty stacked. In that month alone...

  • Maneater Gets Ray Tracing Update on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

    Maneater Gets Ray Tracing Update on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

    This news goes alongside word of the game being played by over 5 million people.

    Tripwire Interactive has a two-fold announcement for Maneater fans today. First is word that the action-RPG where you play as a shark has hit the 5 million player mark. It's probably important to keep in mind that it's not that they sold 5 million copies of the game, just that 5 million people have played the game. Maneater was, after all, one of the free PlayStation Plus titles for January 2021.
