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 ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

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".

    Minecraft with RTX Beta Now Available

    You now need a beefy rig to run Minecraft.

    The beta for Minecraft with RTX is now available on Windows 10. You can download it, play it, and if your PC supports it, you can even enable real-time ray tracing via RTX. There is also support for physically-based materials and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0. Of course, you'll need to have a supported GeForce RTX GPU to actually make "proper" use of the tech.

    A quick RTX on vs RTX off comparison can be seen below.

    The Curious Case of Cooking Mama: Cookstar

    The truth is out there.

    On March 31, 2020 a new Cooking Mama game was released and then it suddenly wasn't. Cooking Mama: Cookstar was a new release for the Nintendo Switch that was pulled from the Nintendo eShop after maybe a day of being on sale, if that. It was even pulled from many retail stores, though you can still find it at some retailers such as Amazon or GameStop. The prices may be starting to climb on those listings though, so you may want to get it while the getting is...

    Today, Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2) leaves early access on the Xbox One platform in North America. In May, this free-to-play MMO will make its North American PC debut. There is just one small catch about the PC release: It will be downloadable exclusively through the Microsoft Store.

    The good news is that there will be full crossplay between the Xbox One version and the PC version. I'm not sure anybody was really expecting...

    Fallout 76 Hits Steam as Wastelanders Update Releases for Everyone

    A two for one special on Fallout 76 news.

    April 14 not only marks the release date for Fallout 76 on Steam, but it also marks the day in which the Wastelanders update released across all platforms. Those who have been holding off on picking up Fallout 76 because it was exclusive to the Bethesda launcher, because it was a terribly buggy mess for many months, or because of the lack of humans should wait no longer.

    Many of those previous concerns seem to be addressed now?...

    Newly Announced XCOM: Chimera Squad Set to Release on April 24

    It's more than XCOM 2 but not quite XCOM 3.

    Talk about a surprise announcement! 2K and Firaxis announced an entirely new, standalone XCOM game today. It's called XCOM: Chimera Squad and it is set five years after the events of XCOM 2. Perhaps the best and most surprising part about today's announcement is the fact that XCOM: Chimera Squad is slated to be released on April 24, 2020 with a limited-time introductory price of just $9.99 (USD).

    You were good, son. Real good. Maybe even the best.

    Journey Journeys to Steam on June 11

    Journey's one year exclusive on EGS finally coming to an end.

    On June 6, 2019, Journey was released for the PC but only on the Epic Games Store (affiliate link). It must have been a one-year timed exclusive, because Annapurna Interactive announced on April 13 that Journey will be coming to Steam.

    This announcement was a brief one and made through Twitter. The publisher says that Journey, developed by thatgamecompany, will hit Steam on June 11, 2020. A store page for J...

    Charlotte Smoothie Joining One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4

    Smoothie to be added this Summer.

    Charlotte Smoothie is the 14th daughter and 35th child of the Charlotte family. She will be joining the roster for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 this Summer. Bandai Namco tells us that Smoothie is a "statuesque woman who is part of the Longleg Tribe and serves as one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates."

    These are all certainly words that are being used to describe a character that I have zero idea about.
