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...

    Halo Infinite will Ship Without Campaign Co-op

    Forge mode will also be missing at launch.

    343 Industries that they are delaying some fairly major parts of Halo Infinite for some unknown time after launch. The developers say that they want to focus on getting the single-player campaign finished along with the competitive multiplayer. Keep in mind here that Halo Infinite was originally supposed to be released during the 2020 holiday period but was delayed for about a year to a still vague holiday 2021 release window.

  • Call of Duty: Vanguard Official Reveal

    Call of Duty: Vanguard Official Reveal

    Reveal trailer omits "Activision."

    The full reveal for Call of Duty: Vanguard happened today. There is a three-minute long trailer for it you can find below if you're so inclined. One thing that really isn't mentioned in the trailer is who is publishing the game. It seems like Activision is really nowhere to be found in the trailer, even at the very end there's a weird omission of the Activision logo.

    Maybe they're just trying to distance the game from, you know,...

    Skyrim is Getting Yet Another Release

    Todd Howard, you've done it again!

    A game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was first released back in 2011 for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Perhaps you've heard of it? I doubt you have because it was such a small release from a relatively unknown developer named Bethesda. If you have heard of it, perhaps you also know that it was re-released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but not before getting a Legendary Edition release in 2013. Yeah, it's true! It then came...

    Wouldn't be the first time Epic just outright copied a popular idea.

    Yesterday, a new game mode was introduced to Fortnite that is probably super familiar to a lot of players out there. It's called Fornite Imposters and it seems to take a lot of, let's just say "inspiration," from Among Us. It features near identical gameplay mechanics. The game's setting is almost identical as well As we pointed out in that original article, the developers of Among Us say that were not contacted...
