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 ...

    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).

    As this is a game set five years...

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

    ​​​In the late afternoon hours of April 13th, voice actor John Patrick Lowrie passed along word that his friend and colleague, Rick May, has passed away. The two voiced characters from Valve's Team Fortress 2. Lowrie voiced the Sniper while May was the voice of the Soldier.

    While Covid-19 may have been what ultimately took May's life, the actor did suffer from some unfortunate health issues in the...

    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...

    New units shipped figures for the most recent remakes revealed.

    Capcom announced some of the shipment and sales figures for both the recent Resident Evil 3 remake and the older but still relevant Resident Evil 2 remake. The figures presented showcase the number of copies shipped for Resident Evil 3's first five days since it was released.

    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.

    Resident Evil 4 is Apparently Getting Remade

    The amount of cut content remains to be seen.

    Thus far, Capcom and their supporting development studios have remade Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. One of these is a fantastic re-imagining of a classic title while the other is Resident Evil 3. This weekend, videogameschronicle.com put out a report saying that a remake of Resident Evil 4 is in development.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is Out Now on PlayStation 4

    A remake three console generations in the making.

    According to Wikipedia, Square had originally promised to release a remake for Final Fantasy VII back on the PlayStation 2. This was in the early 2000s. They also apparently promised to get out remakes for Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX. Obviously, none of these remakes ever really came to pass, at least not on the PlayStation 2. The team at Square was just too busy working on the actual PlayStation 2 Final Fantasy titles that...

    Schrodinger's Blizzcon 2020

    BlizzCon 2020 both exists and does not exist.

    Blizzard has apparently been getting slammed by fans wondering if BlizzCon 2020 will still even happen this year. As there have already been countless other events that have been postponed or outright cancelled due to Covid-19, this isn't exactly a weird thing to be wondering even if the event is commonly held in November. It's been a wild year so far with absolutely anything and everything being a possibility at this point.
