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...

    Call of Duty's New Anti-cheat has Apparently Leaked Online Just One Day After Being Announced

    It's already being reverse engineered by cheat makers.

    Over the span of just three days, we had Activision issuing a threat against cheaters, the reveal of Ricochet, the new kernel-level anti-cheat coming to Call of Duty, and now today that anti-cheat has apparently already been leaked. Not only that, but Ricochet is apparently already being reverse engineered by "pay to cheat" (P2C) developers.

    Ricochet as it is known was announced just yesterday for Call of...

    Sony Opens Registrations for a Chance to Purchase a PS5 for the Holidays

    Yep, they're still nearly impossible to find.

    Much like other hardware items, PlayStation 5 consoles are still damn near impossible to find and purchase. To maybe help alleviate some of the stress of hunting for Sony's latest console, the company has opened up a direct registration system that will give those in the United States a chance to purchase a PS5 this holiday season.

    Naturally, invitations will be limited. Additionally, Sony notes that invitations to purchase...

    EA Removing Coach Jon Gruden from Madden NFL 22

    He will be replaced by a generic placeholder.

    EA announced that they will be removing the former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden from Madden NFL 22. This is being done following Gruden's resignation after it was recently revealed by the New York Times that he made several racist, homophobic, and misogynistic remarks across multiple emails over the past 12 years.

    News about Gruden's removal from Madden was made through the game's official Twitter account yesterday....

    PGA Tour 2K21 'Baller Edition' Announced

    Get it? Because of golf balls.

    2K just announced the Baller Edition of PGA Tour 2K21 today that includes various bonus content and is "dripping with swag." Because when I think of golf and golfers, I immediately think of "swag." I say this as someone who used to golf regularly.

    PGA Tour 2K21 Baller Edition includes the base game, all of the previously released DLC courses, all previously released game modes, an assortment of the "hottest gear"...

    Battlefield 2042's Hazard Zone Sounds a Lot Like Ghost Recon Frontline

    Stop me if you've heard this one before.

    DICE and EA showed off the Hazard Zone gameplay mode today for Battlefield 2042. This mode, which will be included with the purchase of the base game, sounds familiar. Like, it sounds really familiar.

    The mode will have you inserting into a point on one of the base Battlefield 2042 maps as a squad of four. Once on the ground, you must locate and retrieve Data Drives that are scattered around the map. All the while you will be fighting...

    FIFA Wants to Charge EA $1 Billion Every Four Years for License

    This might give us a reason why EA is considering changing the name.

    Recently, EA revealed that they have been considering ditching the "FIFA" name from its annual soccer video game franchise. There were some definite questions raised as to why EA would even consider doing such a thing since FIFA is a hugely recognizable name.

    Today, some light has been shed that could provide a good reason why EA was considering this move. According to a new report from the...

    Sony is giving away three PlayStation VR titles to all PlayStation Plus subscribers in November 2021. This is being done as part of the headset's fifth birthday celebration. Included in today's announcement is word about what the most-played PlayStation VR titles of all time have been.

    Call of Duty's New Anti-Cheat, Ricochet, to Use Kernel-Level Driver

    This is about as invasive an anti-cheat as you can get.

    On October 12, the Call of Duty devs issued a vague, ominous, and really cringey warning to cheaters. As it stands, the new anti-cheat for Call of Duty: Warzone wasn't slated to be released until Call of Duty: Vanguard released later this year. So, what then were they teasing to be revealed today?

    Well, it was the reveal announcement for their new anti-cheat. They call it Ricochet, which is not to be confused with...

    Google Countersuing Epic Games

    Fight fight fight.

    Google is now fighting back against Epic Games as part of the ongoing antitrust litigation between the two companies. A new countersuit was filed by Google against Epic Games and focuses on something called Project Liberty. Project Liberty is the name given to the 2020 plan from Epic that had them adding an alternate payment method to the Android and iOS versions of Fortnite.

    This meant that users could bypass paying Apple or Google for purchases made...

    All Chat Disabled in League of Legends

    You're just too toxic to handle talking with others.

    Riot Games has made the decision to disable /all chat in all matchmade games of League of Legends. This is being done as part of the studio's effort to reduce toxic behavior in their MOBA-style game. Though all chat has been disabled, players will still be able to talk to their own team. There are also emotes that players can use to express themselves should the need arise.

    The only time players will be able to communicate...
