TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

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 ...

    The Next Battlefield 5 Chapter to be Revealed Tomorrow

    We're still in the Pacific.

    EA and DICE announced today that they will reveal the sixth chapter in their ever ongoing Tides of War content for Battlefield V. This new chapter is appropriately called Into the Jungle and it takes us, you guessed it, into some dense jungle environments. Well, there's at least one dense jungle environment.

    There's no saying how many new maps this next chapter will actually bring, though certain wording in official statements seem to indicate...

    Tekken 7 and Soulcalibur VI Content Announced at EVO Japan

    A new feature here, a new character there.

    EVO Japan was large and in charge this past weekend. As is seemingly customary with these events, some new content was announced for existing games like Tekken 7 and even Soulcalibur VI.

    For Tekken 7, fans learned about some of what is coming in the 3.2 Game Update. Thanks to a new developer diary, we also see how the new new characters, Leroy Smith and Fahkumram, are coming along.

    In addition, we also learned a little...

    Season 2 DLC Roster Revealed for Samurai Shodown

    This new season adds in four new fighters.

    Throughout February, four new fighters will be added to Samurai Shodown courtesy of the second season of DLC content. Yes, you will need to pay for these extra characters as that's usually how these things go.

    I wasn't told the price of this second season of DLC, but I'm assuming the new Season Pass will retail for $19.99 (USD) just as the first Season Pass retailed for. If you decide to purchase these new characters separately,...

    Torchlight Frontiers Now Torchlight III, No Longer F2P

    The change away from the F2P model is only one of the many changes planned.

    Perfect World Entertainment and developer Echtra Games announced today that they are no longer releasing Torchlight Frontiers. They will instead convert this planned F2P release of the game into a proper sequel, Torchlight III. The current plan for this new installment in the action-RPG genre is to get it out on Steam at some point this Summer.

    With this move away from the free-to-play model, Torchlight...

    Britain Finds An Unusual Way To Celebrate Its Gaming Heritage


    When it comes to the creation of hugely successful video games, the United Kingdom arguably punches above its weight. It's a small country when compared to the size and population of the United States of America, but the video game designers there have given us some of the greatest computer games ever conceived, from the Championship Manager series through to Grand Theft Auto. It’s a history worth celebrating, and the country has decided to celebrate it in the most delightfully British...

    Speedrunners Continue to Break Ocarina of Time - Now Able to Spawn in an Arwing from Star Fox 64

    This is done without outside cheat devices.

    Over the past several weeks, the speed running community has absolutely broken open The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The record for Ocarina of Time any% went from just shy of 17 minutes as of six months ago, to just 12 minutes and 3 seconds as of 4 days ago. To put it into perspective, it took the community over 4 years to get the old record to be under 17 minutes. It's taken them six months to get it to just 12 minutes. For a game ...

    A Rumor Suggests a Knights of the Old Republic Remake is in Development

    It's a slow news day, so here's a rumor born from a single site.

    A new rumor was fired up yesterday from cinelinx.com that says a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is currently in the works. There might be a bit of validity behind this rumor, we aren't exactly sure ourselves. The track record of cinelinx is unknown to us, but it's a slow news day so let's roll with it.

    The site claims that two independent sources have told them that Knights of the Old R...

    Court Rules that Player's Free Speech Rights Weren't Violated After Being Banned From a Video Game

    Imagine that, a gamer was dumb enough to argue about free speech rights.

    A federal court dismisses a case where an (alleged) moron complained about his free speech rights being violated in a video game. A Pennsylvania man actually tried to claim that his civil rights were violated after he was muted by the developers in an online video game.

    To interject briefly: Yes, there are indeed people that don't have a fucking clue what "freedom of speech" actually means....

    It's a new New Year, so it's time for more savings.

    In honor of the Chinese New Year on January 25, a lot of games are on sale. It may not make sense to everyone, but it makes sense here. Valve is once again holding their big Steam Lunar New Year Sale. It just started today and will run through to January 27 at 10AM (PT).
