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...

    Second Redfall Update is Now Available

    The game's second major update is finally out.

    Redfall released back in May 2023 to some less than favorable reviews, including our own review that found very little to love about Arkane's open-world vampire slayer. Up until October 6, Arkane released just one hotfix update and one major game update. While most have already written the game off, hitting a player count of just three people a day prior, Arkane surprised everyone by releasing the game's second update.

Sony themselves have admitted to there being another security breach that occurred back in May that involved the personal details of almost 6,800 former and current Sony employees.

    The initial reporting on this breach comes from Bleeping Computer. They say that Sony sent out a data breach...

    Nintendo Says They are Still Working on Switch Games for 2025

    That's... a really long console life.

    The Nintendo Switch came out in 2017. It's been in dire need for a hefty hardware update, or refresh, or even a full-fledged "Switch 2" release for a while now. Still, that doesn't seem to be stopping Nintendo. The company told the Japanese publication Nikkei (via VGC) that they are still aiming to bring out new Switch titles until the end of March 2025.

    Red Dead Redemption Remaster Update 1.03 Adds 60FPS Option

    But only for the PlayStation 5.

    The remaster of Red Dead Redemption was released for PlayStation 4 back in August. While the release seemed largely fine (leagues better than the GTA Trilogy release at least), one of the biggest complaints from fans is the fact that there was no 60FPS option available anywhere.

    Though technically a PlayStation 4 title, the remastered Red Dead Redemption release can be played on PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility. Even on the...

    Of course, people are upset.

    Square Enix officially revealed how to correctly pronounce the name of a Final Fantasy 7 character. For years, the debate on how to pronounced Cait Sith waged far and wide. I always read it as "Kate Sith" and it seems as though I wasn't all that far off the mark.

    Today, a tweet made to the official Final Fantasy 7 Twitter account put the entire debate to rest. A debate that goes all the way back to the launch of the original Final...

    This good news comes ahead of a major game update.
