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 Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Delayed for PlayStation

    Still on track for PC.

    NetherRealm Aware of Mortal Kombat 1 Error Logs Eating up Drive Space

    Each crash is another 1GB taken up.

    Mortal Kombat 1 players on PC are probably losing storage space 1GB at a time and they don't even know it. If you ever had Mortal Kombat 1 crash on the PC, a crash report was automatically created. So, if you had the game crash five times, you would have five crash reports sitting on your system.

    While this usually isn't a problem for most games, Mortal Kombat 1's crash reports take up a whopping 1GB of storage space each.

    Starfield is September 2023's Best Selling Game

    Mortal Kombat takes the second spot.

    New figures from Circana (formerly NPD) put Starfield as the top selling title for September 2023. Todd Howard's latest masterpiece, Starfield, beat out Mortal Kombat 1 and EA Sports FC 24 for the best selling title over the entire month. These sales figures are only for the United States. Globally, the picture might be quite different, but we just don't have the data to know for sure.

    Physical Spider-Man 2 Copies Included in Box, Playable Without Patches

    A rarity these days to be sure.

    Those purchasing a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from your local brick and mortar store will be happy to hear that there is an actual disc included inside the box. Not only that, but that disc includes the full game and you could, in theory, play the entire game from start to finish without having to download any updates.

    However, developer Insomniac Games says that they "highly encourage" players that purchase the physical version...

    Lies of P Hits Huge Sales Milestone

    And that's the truth.

    The Souls-like set in the world of Pinocchio, Lies of P, just hit a rather remarkable sales milestone. Developer and publisher Neowiz says that Lies of P has officially sold 1 million units globally less than a month after the game's release.

    Wizard with a Gun Releases a Day Ahead of Schedule

    All to avoid the Steam release of Diablo 4.

    Devolver Digital made the decision to release Wizard with a Gun a full day ahead of schedule on PC. This was all done to avoid releasing on the same day as another game about "mowing down hordes of monsters with magic in a dark fantasy world." That other game? Diablo 4.

    I'm not entirely sure that Wizard with a Gun necessarily has much to worry about here, but I suppose it still is entirely possible that the Steam...

    Xbox Patch Coming Soon for Lords of the Fallen

    The Xbox version is lacking compared to PS5 and PC.

    The Xbox release of Lords of the Fallen is supposedly just not up to snuff when compared to the PlayStation 5 and PC versions of the game. Developer CI Games says that they are already working on a patch for the Xbox Series X|S release to bring that version of the game up to the same quality of the other platforms.

    The game has been in the hands of reviewers and content creators for at least a week now. From what is...
