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...

Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    New Oculus Quest 2 Model Announced

    Sales of the current model are paused while Facebook readies the new model.

    There have been some rumors swirling around for a bit that Facebook was going to announce some new VR hardware soon. And while that rumor is true, this probably isn't the hardware announcement some fans may have wanted.

    Today, Facebook announced that they will be releasing a slightly upgraded Oculus Quest 2 model to consumers. Starting on August 24, all base Quest 2 VR headsets will ship with a...

    This reveal came during Microsoft's earnings call earlier today. Microsoft announced that they have sold more Series X|S consoles than any previous Xbox generation has in the same amount of time. Due to limited supply of chips, availability is still super limited across the board...

  • BioWare Shares Interesting Details About Player Choices via Mass Effect Legendary Edition Infographic

    Apparently, 6% of players did not have Wrex survive on Virmire. These people are monsters.

    BioWare and EA have shared a new infographic for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Players seemed to again trend towards the male version of Shepard, with only 32% of people picking the far superior FemShep. Once again, just as the case was with the game's original release, players also overwhelmingly chose to play as the super boring Soldier class above all others.

    Discord Now Has Threaded Conversations

    This is apparently a big deal because they sent out a press release.

    We typically never get any new emails about what Discord is doing. That all changed today when they sent me a press release talking about their new Threads system for conversations. So I'm going to assume here that these Threads are a pretty big deal if they're actually sending out press releases concerning their updates now.

    What are Threads? Threads are a way to split off a topic of conversation into...

    How to Find the Best Portable Gaming Screen?

    Gaming had come a long way since it was exclusively about gaming consoles, big screens, and optimized systems. Now you can play video games with the comfort of your portable gaming monitor, and you won't be able to tell the difference between that and an expensive gaming monitor. Developers are working overtime to find new ways to optimize these features, and that's why we now have an array of portable gaming screens that do way more than anticipated. Mobile gaming screens come in different shapes,...

    Valve Clears Up '30 FPS Target' for Steam Deck

    30 FPS is the bare minimum accepted by Valve.

    In speaking with IGN, a Steam Deck designer Pierre-Loup Griffais, said that Valve has a target of "30Hz" for their output framerate with Steam Deck. He says that everything they (Valve) have tested have run "without issues" and have hit that 800p and 30Hz target really well.

    Obviously, some people took this to mean that the Steam Deck would only run games at a 30FPS cap. Some have even begun to doubt the...
