TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

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...

  • Marvel's Avengers Permanently Lowers Price of Cosmetics

    Marvel's Avengers Permanently Lowers Price of Cosmetics

    It's a start...

    A recent in-game event saw the price of cosmetics within Marvel's Avengers go for considerably cheaper than normal. Following the event, it looked likes Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have decided to make these price reductions permanent.

    Marvel's Avengers has not had the smoothest of launches. That may be putting it mildly. Player counts on Steam are in the gutter, to the tune of roughly a few hundred every day instead of multiple thousands. This has...

    Godfall PC Requirements Revealed

    If you meet these requirements, you too can fell some gods.

    Counterplay Games and Gearbox announced the minimum and recommended system requirements for their upcoming action, looter-slasher romp, Godfall. The requirements are perhaps on the higher side, with the minimum requiring 12GB of RAM and an i5-6600 CPU.

    Alas, what were once great machines in the current-generation of consoles will no longer hold the mustard with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X paving the way...

    The official Call of Duty blog put up the PC specifications you will need to meet or max out the visual eye candy in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Like with many other PC specs that have come out for new titles, there are more tiers at play here than just the minimum and recommended specs.

  • Diretide Makes Surprise Return to Dota 2 After Seven Years

    Diretide Makes Surprise Return to Dota 2 After Seven Years

    You could say that it's back from the dead.

    Back in the far off time of 2013, Dota 2 had a special Halloween event called Diretide. It was fairly popular back in 2012 and the community had clamored, to put it nicely, for it to return in 2013. Since then begging for its return has become a bit of a meme with the community. Alas, some memes do become reality and here in 2020, where literally anything is possible and probable, Diretide has made its return once more.

    Less than a month away.

    Love them or hate them, Blizzard has been hard at work developing the latest expansion for World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands was delayed back in early October of this year. At the time we had no idea when the new release date would be, but we now know.

    November 23, 2020 at 3PM (PT) is when Shadowlands will be released. For those of you in Europe, that release time is November 24 at 12AM (CET). ...

  • Far Cry 6 Delayed Until After March 2021

    Far Cry 6 Delayed Until After March 2021

    Pushed into next fiscal year.

    Far Cry 6 has been delayed until the next fiscal year for Ubisoft. In its quarterly earnings report, development on the game was revealed to be impacted by the dreaded COVID-19. Both Far Cry 6 and the ironically named Rainbow Six Quarantine were moved to Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which begins after March 2021 for Ubisoft.

    As you can safely assume, this places the release of Far Cry 6 anywhere between April 2021 and March 2022.

    Xbox Games with Gold for November 2020

    Well, it's maybe not the biggest month they've had.

    The "free" games coming in November 2020's Games with Gold have been announced by Microsoft. Given that the new consoles are launching in just a couple of weeks, you would expect maybe something more grand for November's offerings. However... that's not really the case here, at least in my humble opinion. That's not to say that the games are bad, but the real stand out here seems to be LEGO Indiana Jones, an Xbox 360 game,...
