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 ...

    The Elder Scrolls 6 is (Probably) Xbox Exclusive

    This shouldn't surprise you, but it probably upsets you nonetheless.

    Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, recently provided an interview to British GQ where he very strongly suggested that The Elder Scrolls VI will be an Xbox console exclusive. This not-so-surprising revelation comes after it was revealed a little while back that Starfield would also be an Xbox console exclusive. And all of this comes after the fact that Microsoft owns Bethesda, so none of this should come as any surprised...

    There is a $10,000 Gucci Xbox Series X for People with More Money than Brains

    Seriously, who are these things even made for?

    Xbox and Gucci have teamed up to create a special and super limited Xbox Series X console. There will only be 100 of these bundles created and each one will cost you $10,000 (USD).

    The Guccui-branded Xbox Series X has the Gucci "GG" pattern laser cut into the console. Gucci is calling this design an "evolution" of the original Gucci design from the 1930s. The "GG" stands for either Guccio Gucci's...

    Sony Cuts Production Plans for PlayStation 5 by 1 Million Units

    That dreaded chip shortage strikes once again.

    Sony has apparently cut production plans for the PlayStation 5 consoles by about one million units. This is due to, you guessed it, component shortages. Who didn't see that one coming? We already had news just yesterday about Valve's Steam Deck being delayed by two months because of COVID-19 related component shortages, and here we are again.

    As fewer consoles are expected to be made, it stands to reason that it will be even...

    Can complicated gaming jargon put people off?


    The online casino and gaming world can be something of a minefield. If you are used to playing games in a traditional setting such as a casino then visiting some more 'modern' websites then it may become confusing. You might have been a big gamer in previous eras and want to get back involved but are put off by the language used by developers like Microsoft and Sony.
