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.

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...

    Command & Conquer Remastered is 'One of the Greatest Remasters Ever Made'

    Sorry Warcraft III Reforged.

    According to the technical gurus over at Digital Foundry, Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is "one of the greatest remasters ever made" and an "exceptional piece of work."

    The classic real-time strategy title underwent a massive remastering undertaking for its 25th anniversary release. As we noted before, the Petroglyph developed title includes Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, and three expansion packs: Covert Ops, Counterstrike,...

    EA Play Event Rescheduled for June 18

    Just a note about the new date.

    EA had an event planned for this week I believe it was, but circumstances dictate that they move it back by a week. Those circumstances being the decision to allow the world to focus more on protesting police brutality than on something as inconsequential as video games. A wise decision.

    EA will instead hold their EA Play event on June 18 at 4PM (PT).

    Look for the latest on PS5 games later this week.

    The PlayStation 5 game reveal event from Sony was originally going to take place on June 4. That event was delayed due to the worldwide protests against police brutality. It just wasn't an appropriate time to hold such an event with more important matters going on.

    Though the event was postponed, it wasn't pushed back by very long. Sony announced today that they will now host their "Future of Gaming" PlayStation...

    Soccer just isn't soccer without the fans.

    Sky Sports, a UK broadcasting network, is teaming up with EA Sports in an effort to bring fans some virtual crowd noise to upcoming soccer matches.

    Come June 17, the Premier League will restart but it will do so in empty stadiums. That means for both the players and fans at home, the stadium crowd noises will be absent. You ever watch a professional sporting event without a crowd? Can you even imagine what that would be like?...

    Destiny 2's Season Ending Live Event was Incredibly Disappointing

    You had to be there.

    As of 2:31PM (ET) on Saturday, June 6, the current season of Destiny 2 effectively came to an end. Season of the Worthy wrapped up much the same way as the rest of the Season left its fans: Not with thunderous applause, but with shrugs and sighs. The plan was to end the season today at 1PM (ET) with a live event. Live events in games seem to be all the rage these days, especially for those who pay any attention at all to powerhouses like Fortnite.

    This move follows a delay until August.

    Earlier this year, the speedrunning event that raises big amounts of cash for charity, Summer Games Done Quick, made the decision to delay the event until August 2020. This decision was made due to the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that many people seem to think is already over with. Today, the event organizers made another decision that impacts the event and its usual format.

    Instead of having a large-scale group event, Summer...

    Big things come in small packages.

    Another new trailer is out today for Desperados III. This one shows off some real-life miniature action. All of the miniature action takes place in miniature locales.
