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...

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.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

    Make sure your floor is clean because your jaw is about to hit it.

    Three games. Three eras. That's the idea behind the newly announced Mafia: Trilogy. Though only presented with a short teaser and some screenshots, we do know a few key ideas behind the Mafia: Trilogy.

    First off, it looks as though the first Mafia title will be called Mafia: Definitive Edition and will be a full remake. We're talking about some gorgeous looking visuals and modern conveniences on a game...

    The Culling is Back for a Third Attempt at Bad Ideas

    Don't call it a comeback. No, really, don't.

    The Culling has seen its fair share of ups and even more downs. It has been created and killed off twice already in various forms. Now it's back for a third go, starting with a release on the Xbox One. A PC release of this iteration of the game is also planned, but I cannot imagine too many people will care.

    The first Culling was a battle royal game that set itself apart from the other battle royal games thanks to its focus...

    Remastered Release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 Announced

    Tony Hawk is getting remastered... again.

    It has happened once before already and it will more than likely happen again in the future. However, in the here and now, it's happening for the second time. If you correctly guessed that the first two Tony Hawk games were getting remastered yet again, you are either a genius or you read the headline.

    Back in 2012, we reviewed the first attempt at a remaster for the first few Tony Hawk titles. It was called Tony Hawk's Pro Skater...

    Is a remaster incoming?

    The Brazil Rating Board just updated with a new rating for Mafia 2 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia. They join other game ratings boards like those in Taiwan and Korea that have updated with new listings for Mafia 2 on the aforementioned platforms.

    The rating seems to point towards something called a Mafia 2: Definitive Edition. This may be the oft-rumored remaster for Mafia 2 that has been floating around now for a fair number of...

    Steam Summer Sale 2020 Dates Leaked

    Get those wallets ready.

    A time honored consumer tradition is waiting until the right moment to spend a lot of money on items they wanted but did not want to pay full price for. An equally time honored tradition, at least among PC gamers is having the dates of the Steam Summer Sale leaked well ahead of time.

    In fact, those dates are usually leaked right around this time of the year. In fact, 2019's dates were leaked almost exactly a year ago, with a difference of just...

    Just a Reminder that Elder Scrolls VI Details are Still Many Years Away

    In case that wasn't obvious.

    Bethesda's Pete Hines confirmed again this weekend that any details for The Elder Scrolls VI are still many years away. This was completely expected after Bethesda's first reveal from E3 2018 that said it was coming after Starfield. As Starfield is also still quite a ways away, this should come as no surprise to anybody.

    Starfield itself was only briefly discussed back at E3 2018. We did not know much about the game then. In fact, we know about...

According to some information found while diving deep into the data mines, Steam has some sort of a currently new and unused point system. There is also a new reaction system that has shown up that will allow you to add a variety of reactions to user reviews.

    Bi-Monthly New Content Drops Planned for Civilization VI

    A DLC pass is coming to Civ VI.

    Civilization VI is about ready to venture into an all-new Frontier. 2K has just announced the New Frontier Pass for Sid Meier's Civilization VI. As you may have already figured out by the use of the word "pass" and the fact that the title specifies "bi-monthly content drops," this is indeed an announcement of a Season Pass for the game.

    The New Frontier Pass promises to deliver eight new civilizations, nine new leaders,...

    Scarlet Nexus is a New Action-RPG Coming to Next-gen Consoles and PC

    It's also coming to current-gen consoles but that isn't nearly as attention grabbing.

    On May 7, Bandai Namco showed off a little reveal trailer for an upcoming action-RPG headed to the Xbox Series X. The game is called Scarlet Nexus and it's set to be a multi-gen title from the makers of the Tales Of... series of games. As the headline clearly indicates, the game is headed to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. However, it's also headed to the PlayStation 4 and the...

Later in 2020, Bloober Team will release The Medium for the Xbox Series X and PC. As with most of these Xbox Series X releases, a firm release date just isn't known yet.

    Yakuza: Like a Dragon is an Xbox Series X Launch Title

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

    Earlier today during the special Inside Xbox event from Microsoft, Sega revealed that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be a launch title for the next-gen Xbox Series X. Sega then outdid themselves by also announcing that this is the same date that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be released on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC via both Steam and the Windows Store.
