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...

    Horizon Forbidden West Graphical Compromises for PS4 Version Detailed

    A cross-gen game has to make compromises somewhere.

    Horizon Forbidden West's game director Mathijs de Jonge recently spoke with Game Informer about all things Horizon. Part of the conversation focused on what cuts had to be made to the PlayStation 4 release of Horizon Forbidden West. As this is a cross-gen release from Sony, you knew that sacrifices had to be made somewhere for the previous gen.

    He does say that "a lot of the development has taken place on the PlayStation...

    Maingear Launches RTX 3080 Ti Desktops

    Because it's not like you'll be able to buy a card on its own anyway.

    Maingear passed along word today that they have just launched a line of desktop PCs that include Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards. According to Maingear, the VYBE pre-configured desktops begin at $1,699 (USD) and top out at $3,499 for those with money to spare.

    Microsoft to Show 'Next Generation of Windows' on June 24

    It's probably just a major update for Windows 10, not a new version.

    On June 24th, Microsoft will host a special event during which they will show off the "next generation of Windows."

    Now, before you go freaking out and thinking that they're coming out with Windows 11 or something like that, just relax. Microsoft said a while back that Windows 10 was the last version of Windows that they will release. Yes, this could have changed in the six years since they...

    Battlefield Reveal on June 9

    I bet there will be explosions.

    The official Battlefield Twitter announced earlier today that the big Battlefield reveal will take place on June 9 at 7AM (PT). Though according to Battlefield.com, that 7AM time is just when the countdown to the reveal will begin. When is the actual reveal time? Man, I don't know. Why they didn't just give us the time that the actual reveal will take place is beyond me.

    Will it be the same as the leaked trailer? Doubtful. Will it be a new...

    Nvidia Announces New RTX 3080 Ti, New DLSS Supported Games

    Don't worry, they're probably sold out already anyway.

    Nvidia's Computex presentation brought some tasty new, but expected, announcements last night. First up, the technology giant announced two new entries in their GTX 30xx GPU series. These are the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3070 Ti.

    AMD's DLSS Competitor - FidelityFX Super Resolution - Launches June 22

    The technology is not locked to AMD cards either.

    Last night, AMD announced its plans to release FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) starting on June 22. This new technology will act as a competitor to Nvidia's DLSS technology. In short, this technology upscales gameplay from lower resolutions to provide performance benefits at higher resolutions. In some cases, it may even enhance the image quality.

    AMD is going a slightly different route than Nvidia on this one. Nvidia...

    Curtis took to Twitter today to share a behind-the-scenes look at Lilith, being played by Cate Blanchett. She's cloaked in shadow, but there's no mistaking that silhouette. It certainly looks like Lilith...
