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...

    A New Skate Game was Announced

    #Skate4? Maybe?

    To close out their presentation last night, EA announced a new Skate game! And that's literally all we know about it. Nobody during the presentation said that it was a Skate 4. Nobody said which platforms they were looking at developing the game for. All we know is that there's a new Skate game coming somewhere and at some time.

    All of EA's talk and literature on the game is simply calling it "Skate." Perhaps it's just a reboot of the franchise...

    Apex Legends Season 5 Details and Steam Release Date

    What's this about a Switch release?

    Season 5 for Apex Legends has been a big one for the teams at Respawn Entertainment and EA. According to the studios, this has been the season that has seen the "highest level of per-play engagement" to date. I do not know what that means per se, but it sounds highly impressive. Season 5 is also seeing the largest number of new players since the game's first season.

    Come this Fall, the game will make its way on to Steam. Not...

    Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Utilizing "4D Character Scans"

    And other marketing speak.

    Insomniac Games took to the PlayStation Blog today to talk about some of the cool tech that will be utilized in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This PlayStation 5 launch title is said to be "akin to a game like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy" in terms of overall scope. So it's not quite a full sequel, one of which is still presumably coming at some point, but it's also a fair bit more robust than an add-on.

    Will it be priced accordingly?...

    A new trailer showcasing some epic story modes.

    A new trailer is out today for Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions from Bandai Namco. In "Episode: Tsubasa," players will get to experience the legendary story of Tsubasa Ozoro as he seeks to claim glory for Japan on the soccer field.

    I have no idea what the hell I just typed. Sounds whacky, but I'm intrigued.

    The Nether Update for Minecraft is Out June 23

    Big additions are coming to Minecraft.

    For the most part, there isn't a whole lot that goes on in the Nether in Minecraft. The last I knew, it had some lava, some unique blocks, maybe a fortress here and there, but that was kind of it. On June 23, there might actually be a good reason to frequently visit the not-quite-hell dimension besides as an expressway to travel great distances.

    June 23rd marks the release date for the big Nether Update for Minecraft. This update...
