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 Nightmare Before Christmas Comes to Fortnite

    Plus Michael Myers and Alan Wake.

    The latest update for Fortnite adds in a bunch of spooky outfits and bundles. New to this year's Fotnitemares event are skins and bundles featuring the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington. He is joined by Alan Wake and Michael Myers.

    Jack Skellington is from The Nightmare Before Christmas, a classic holiday film from the mind of Tim Burton. Alan Wake is obviously from the hit game, Control, as part of that game's DLC. He's also obviously...

    Counter-Strike 2 Not Coming to Mac

    There just isn't enough players to justify it.

    On October 9th, Valve flat out said that they have no plans for a macOS release of Counter-Strike 2. Part of the reason is because there just weren't enough people playing the game on macOS to warrant continuing support for the platform with their new release.

    The unfortunate news was stated plainly in a new Steam Support page for Counter-Strike 2. In addition to dropping support for macOS, Valve is also ditching support for...

    Fix for Battlefield 2042 Steam 'Validation' Issue

    This workaround could help Steam users get into the game.

    Following today's Season 6: Dark Creations update for Battlefield 2042, most Steam players have run into a bit of a snag. When attempting to launch Battlefield 2042, Steam will attempt a "Validation" step for the game instead of launching the game. Once completed, the game will still fail to launch and kick off another "Validation" step.


    It seems that a workaround to this issue lies not...

    Slimmer PlayStation 5 Redesign Announced

    A new design accompanied by a price increase for the Digital Edition.

    A new and slimmer PlayStation 5 design is coming just in time for the holiday season. Today, Sony revealed slimmer designs for both the "regular" PlayStation 5 and the Digital Edition PlayStation 5. It's important to note that this redesign is largely just aesthetic. Sony didn't swap out the internals with more powerful upgrades or anything. The one exception to this is the internal SSD, which goes from...

    Counter-Strike 2 was officially released on September 27th, effectively replacing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Like, it literally replaced CS:GO. Not only did Counter-Strike: Global Offensive just straight up get updated to Counter-Strike 2, but Valve also kept using...

    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.
