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.

    Video Games We Want to See Turned into Slot Games


    Slots game developers like to draw from different aspects of life when creating new games. One of the more recent genres to be included in the production of online slots is video games. We have already witnessed the introduction of some excellent video game based slot games, including Resident Evil, Hitman, Space Invaders, Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs, Street Fighter, and Call of Duty. However, there are plenty of hugely popular video games that are yet to be granted the slot game treatment...

    The Division 2 and Anno 1800 Did Not Sell Well on the Epic Games Store

    Ubisoft games don't seem to be performing well on the EGS.

    If you are a PC gamer, the only places you can purchase Ubisoft games directly include the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect (formerly Uplay). New Ubisoft releases have not been made available through Steam for quite some time now. One of the last games available for purchase on Steam was Anno 1800.

    Anno 1800 was available for pre-purchase for a small period of time through Steam ahead of its release. Conservative...

    Modders Find Way to Bypass Resident Evil Village Demo Time Limit on PC

    It's actually quite easy.

    Capcom has been busy promoting Resident Evil Village through a series of time limited demos on all platforms. They started first with the PlayStation platform with two separate 30-minute long demos. Now, the demos are available as a package deal across all platforms, but the time limit is still in place. This means that you have just 60-minutes to complete the two segments of the demo. Once you hit that 60 minute mark, that's it. You can no longer play the...

    For the players? Yeah, right.

New confidential documents reveal that Sony was holding out on cross-play in order to counter any potential revenue losses.
