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.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones?

    Peter Molyneux's Unfinished Godus Games Pulled from Sale After a Decade of Empty Promises

    Molyneux has done it again.

    Remember Godus? Of course you don't, nobody remembers Godus. The game's developer, 22cans, barely remembered that game. Anyway, Godus is now dead. Also, Godus Wars is dead. They have both been removed from sale on Steam in a move that 22cans blames on an "upcoming technical change to Amazon Web Services."

    Nobody really seems to know just what is meant by that excuse.

    Godus was made available through Steam Early Access...

    Epic's Tim Sweeney Open to Bringing Fortnite to Steam, But Only if Valve Ditches 30% Cut

    Like a broken record.

    Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney recently mentioned on Twitter that he's open to bringing Fortnite to Steam, the Microsoft Store, and other platforms. Of course, there's a catch to that. Sweeney says that he would only be open to bringing Fortnite to these other platforms if the platform holders got rid "of these ridiculous 30% fees."

    To preface this a bit, Valve does take a 30% cut of sales made through Steam but only up to a point. Once certain...

    Steam Deck Sniffers Told to Stop by Valve

    Probably done by the same people that tried to eat Tide Pods.

    If you're someone that's sniffing the vents of your Steam Deck then I need say a couple of things: First off, what the hell is wrong with you? Secondly, Valve says you should probably not do that.

    Apparently there's some joke or meme about sniffing the exhaust vents of your Steam Deck. Huh?... What? I don't know what this is all about. Maybe it's some dumb zoomer thing like eating Tide Pods, licking Switch...

    The next-gen update for Fallout 4 has been pushed to an unspecified date in 2024. Bethesda made this official announcement just earlier today through Twitter. Of course, with there just being about 18 days left in 2023, the official announcement should not come as any surprised to anybody.
