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...

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

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

    Fallout Mod 'The Frontier' Returns After Some Content Removed

    The mod returns but with some modifications.

    Just a couple of short weeks back, a new mod for Fallout: New Vegas was released. It was the highly anticipated mod The Frontier, and it was a mod that took several years of development time. It brought the Nexus Mods' servers to their knees with how many downloads it managed to accumulate. And then, just like that, it was pulled from the service after roughly one week.

    It was discovered that one of the developers was allegedly...

    Hitman 3 Will Get DLC

    IO Interactive confirms the obvious.

    Even though IO Interactive just shipped Hitman 3 and they are busy working on a new James Bond game, that doesn't mean they're quite finished with Hitman 3 just yet. Forest Swartout, the executive producer for Hitman 3 told The Gamer that Hitman 3 DLC is coming, but they're not quite sure what form it will take.

    He says that they are "definitely going to be doing some DLC, but (they) haven't defined what that is" yet. They...

    Rocket League Getting an NFL Mode

    Are you ready for some football?!

    A new but temporary game mode is coming very soon to Rocket League. The new mode, called The Gridiron, is the result of a partnership with the NFL for Super Bowl LV. It will see the American style football replace the football that the rest of the world enjoys.

    The Gridiron will also offer up a new "Gridiron Guru" player title, NFL wheels for your vehicle, 20,000 XP, and the addition of the NFL Fan Pack to the item shop. I presume...

    Hope you weren't planning on a new console or upgrades any time soon.

    AMD says that they anticipate shortages of PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 chips to last through at least the first half of 2021. This news comes via AMD's recent Q4 2020 earnings call with AMD CEO and president Lisa Su.

    CD Projekt Red Shuts Down Cyberpunk Mod that Allowed Players to Have Sex with Keanu Reeves

    Gonna have to get your kicks elsewhere.

    A mod that was up on Nexus Mods allowed Cyberpunk 2077 players to have awkward sex with Keanu Reeves was shut down by CD Projekt Red. Essentially, this mod was a character swap that placed Johnny Silverhand as one of the game's sex workers. It apparently wasn't all that great of a swap because Johnny never takes off his clothes and the lines are those of the game's Joytoy that he replaces, but alas... people were still probably really into it....
