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".

The studio says that "global economic context, the challenges of our industry, and the comprehensive restructuring announced by Embracer have...

    Valve Reintroduces Steam Soundtracks with a New Sale and Features

    NOW that's what I call music!

    Valve is bringing back Steam Soundtracks in a big way today. More accurately: Valve already brought back Steam Soundtracks a little while ago is being improved big time today. The Soundtrack section that some of you knew and perhaps even love already made its return as a dedicated category in the Steam Library. To further push this Soundtrack section, Valve is bolstering it today with some improved functionality.

    On top of that, there is a...

    Get ready to go back to where it all began.

    On Tuesday, February 11, Ubisoft will make a new announcement about some upcoming content for The Division 2. Today, that information has apparently leaked a bit ahead of schedule which means you get the benefit of knowing about it ahead of time.

    A new Reddit post in the Division subreddit, shared the information that was gathered from a few different sources. It was compiled together by Reddit user, Hurinzor. One of the first...

    Counter-Strike Broke Peak Player Records Twice this Weekend

    CS:GO surges as DOTA 2 flounders.

    This past weekend was a real banner couple of days for Counter-Strike players and fans. Not only did Counter-Strike: Global Offensive surpass its all-time concurrent player count, but it did so twice!

    On Saturday, CS:GO had surpassed 888,000 people playing the game at once. This all-time high bested a near 7-year long record. The old all-time high came on August 21, 2012 when CS:GO had topped out at over 854,000 players.

    New Gameplay Video Released for TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2

    It's a motorcycle racing game.

    You may not know it from that title, but TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2 is a motorcycle racing game. I am sure you could probably think of a few different, more explicit, genres that the title would work well with. I'm here to tell you that you should get your mind out of the gutter because this one is a motorcycle game.

    A new gameplay video is out today for TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2. The game promises to be "more immersive...

    DreadOut 2 Slated for February 20 Release

    More scares based off of Indonesian horror tales arrives soon

    The original DreadOut was a real "love it" or "hate it" sort of horror title. The game, released only on PC for Windows, Mac, and Linux, came across as a modern spin on the Fatal Frame formula. In the original, players were tasked with solving a variety of puzzles while protecting themselves from ghostly entities by photographing them with either a smartphone or a digital camera that they find through...

    Anthem is Finally Getting a Massive Overhaul

    BioWare officially announces their plans to make major changes.

    Anthem as it currently exists is hanging on by the most tenuous of threads. Despite apparently being one of 2019's top selling titles, at least according to data shared by The NPD Group, the player base is next to non-existent. It would take a significant amount of work to get players interested in the game once again, which is apparently what BioWare has been working on behind the scenes for a little while now.

    Hot New Key Art for Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It's pretty.

    Square Enix publicly released a new piece of artwork today for none other than Final Fantasy VII Remake. The only place it was made available was on Twitter, so we'll all have to deal with that Twitter compression goodness for this.

    You can find the full image above while also checking out the embedded tweet below. It's a key art sandwich.

    Metro Exodus Returns to Steam on February 15

    Has it really been a year already?

    On January 28, 2019, publisher Deep Silver announced that Metro Exodus would be a timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store (affiliate link). In the here and now, this is a fairly common pile of crap that we're used to seeing and experiencing. At that time, however, it was the early days of these sorts of announcements. Outrage was palpable. Tempers were on edge. And so on and so forth with the cliches.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Won't See Other Platforms Until Mid-April 2021

    With the PS4 delay came an unfortunate side-effect.

    In December 2019, Square Enix provided some fresh, new media for Final Fantasy VII Remake. At the time, the developer showed off a new trailer for the game, provided details on various pre-order bonuses, and even snuck in a new look at the game's box art.

    On that box art was a little blurb about how the game was a "PlayStation Exclusive," at least until March 3, 2021. Almost exactly one month later, Square Enix...

    More New Releases Found More Success on Steam in 2019 Compared to 2018

    2019 was another big year for the PC platform.

    Steam has been around for quite some time now. In fact, 2020 marks Steam's 17th anniversary come September. 17 years is a long time for anything. If you didn't know any better, you might be sitting there right now thinking that after all this time Steam could not be improved or iterated on in any capacity. At best, all that happened was that a bunch of new games were added and they called it a year. Right?
