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 ...

    Let Supermassive talk to you about their game.

    A new developer diary video was released today by Supermassive Games. The studio, if you recall, is hard at work on the next entry for The Dark Pictures Anthology. Their first entry was Man of Medan, which was released in late August of 2019. It allowed both you and a friend to play through the story together if you so desired.

    The next entry, and the one in which we're focusing on today, is called Little Hope.

    New Game Plus Added to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

    A free content update is now available.

    EA and Respawn released a free new content update on May 4 for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. One of the most requested features for the game was added in today's update. This is, of course, the ability to play with a New Game+ option that carries over some unlocks to a second playthrough of the game. You can tell by those ominous italics that there's a catch here with this implementation of New Game+. More on that in just a second.

    It's all digital.

    EA just announced that they will once again hold their EA Play Live event for 2020. This event will be similar to last year's event, except that instead of having a presentation in front of a live audience, it will be a digital only affair.

    EA Play Live 2020 begins on June 11 at 4PM (PST). As was the case with last year's event, you can expect to see various world premiere trailers, new news, and "more!" Oh I do love me a nebulous "more"...

    id Software and Composer Mick Gordon Officially Part Ways

    This is a huge loss for everyone.

    There have been some rumblings over the past week or so that Mick Gordon was not at all happy with how some aspects of the DOOM Eternal soundtrack were being handled. These issues were first brought up around April 19, 2020 after it was discovered that many of the audio tracks from the official DOOM Eternal soundtrack were severely lacking in dynamic range. Mick responded to the Twitter thread saying that he did not mix the tracks in question and that...

    Top Three Midlaners To Play in Dota 2 7.26c Patch


    Today we take a look at some of the strongest mid-laners in Dota 2 that will help you gain MMR or simply win games in normal Dota 2 matches.

    The meta of Dota 2 changes frequently, and it’s nothing like it was a few years ago. Still, the mid position is the second most important position in the game, and that’s why it’s called the position 2.

    Almost no pub game starts without a fight for who will take the mid lane, because people know how much...

    They really mean it this time!

    Original (April 27, 2020): Sony has just provided the updated release dates for both The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima. Both of these titles had suffered some unfortunate delays due to the little global pandemic thing. It was just a couple of short weeks ago in early April when we first learned that The Last of Us Part II was "delayed indefinitely."

    Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Announced by Geoff Keighley

    You all ready for four months of Geoff Keighley?

    The Summer of Keighley is nearly upon us. I assume that is the alternate name that was being shopped around before they actually decided on the "Summer Game Fest." This whole thing is being labeled an "all-digital consumer celebration." The Summer Game Fest will bring fans "a season of breaking news, in-game events, and free playable content" from a variety of developers, publishers, and platform owners....
