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...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

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

The show is said to include a budget that "well exceeds the eight-figure per episode mark." This information was shared by Petti in an interview conducted by CTV News.

    In speaking with CTV, Petti stops just short of giving a precise amount for...

    DirectStorage No Longer Windows 11 Exclusive

    Reveal came as the developer preview starts to roll out.

    One of the big "selling points" for Windows 11 was how the new operating system would be the "best ever for gaming." One of the big pieces of technology behind this idea was DirectStorage. In short, DirectStorage is a way to feed assets from a drive directly to the GPU without the CPU getting in the way and slowing the process down.

    This would lead to faster load times, faster asset streaming,...

    Yep, Skate is Still in Development

    Get a non-look at the game with this new BTS video.

    The next Skate game is still very much in development. That's about all EA had to share on this one today. They sent out a tweet that said that they're working on it. They also released a video that essentially said the same thing.

    Game footage? Nope.

    Concept art? Forget about it.

    BTS? Yes, assuming you're talking about "behind the scenes" and not about the boy band from South Korea....

This game is reportedly codenamed "Battlecat" and will combine the worlds of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division. These franchises will combine together to form a new multiplayer game that is more akin to a hero shooter than a more grounded, tactical title.

    Steam Deck Reservations Marred by Server Issues

    There seems to be a huge demand for Valve's handheld gaming PC.

    Reservations for the newly announced Steam Deck from Valve were in very high demand today. Mere seconds after reservations opened on Steam, the Store became unresponsive for a huge number of potential consumers. The screen most users came across was a "something went wrong" error page.

    Still others encountered pages that said there was an error initializing or updating their transaction. Others were...

    Former Faze Member Threatens Lawsuit Against YouTubers that Exposed His Cryptocurrency Scheme

    If ever there was a prime example of the Streisand effect, this is it.

    Just a couple of weeks ago, former Faze member Frazier "Kay" Khattri was removed from the gaming clan after it was discovered that he and three others were pushing a crypto "pump and dump" cryptocurrency scheme. The scheme was uncovered by various YouTubers that broke the story. Those YouTubers are now getting hit by a cease and desist order to try and stop the news from spreading.

    Capcom Promises Fix for Resident Evil Village Performance Issues

    Capcom is pushed into action after hackers release a better performing version.

    This week, a cracked version of Resident Evil Village was released by Empress. With it came word that this cracked release pretty much eliminated the very severe and very apparent framerate dips and hitching found in the official release of the game. The culprit seemed to be a double whammy of DRM that Capcom implemented into the game: Denuvo and Capcom's own DRM system.

    The hitching and framerate...

    Despite Report, Marvel's Avengers' Wakanda Campaign is Not 25 Hours Long

    Lost in translation.

    An earlier report about the upcoming Wakanda campaign for Marvel's Avengers said that the new content would take players about 25 hours to complete. This report, presented by Entertainment Weekly, claimed that the 25 hours would be in addition to the content available in the base game.

    Unfortunately, that seems to be a misinterpretation by the person who wrote the article. Square Enix clarified what was actually meant by this "25 hour" remark....
