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...

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 ...

    Buckshot Roulette Out Now on Steam

    The surprise hit is available now on Steam.

    It's hard to imagine that developer Mike Klubnika ever expected that his small "Russian Roulette with shotguns" game, Buckshot Roulette, would ever become as popular as it has. The game went viral after its initial release with tons of streamers and "influencers" playing the game at some point.

    Buckshot Roulette initially debuted on Itch.io, and is now available on Steam for the low price of $2.99, or $2.69...

    Free Stars: Children of Infinity Announced as Direct Sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters

    The sci-fi cult classic will soon continue.

    The action-adventure sci-fi game, Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters, first hit the scene back in 1992 for MS-DOS by none other than Toys for Bob. In February 2024, an open-source remake of The Ur-Quan Masters was released under the name of Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters. In fact, this game is freely available to everyone through Steam.

    While a Star Control 3 was eventually developed, it was done so without the involvement...

    FTC Shoots Down ESRB's Proposal to Verify Age Using Facial Recognition

    Privacy wins out... for now.

    In 2023, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) announced that they were working on a tool that would use facial recognition to verify a person's age. The ESRB had partnered with a digital identity firm, Yoti, along with SuperAwesome to create this age verification technology. The ESRB already caught a lot of rightfully deserved shit for that announcement when it was made last year.

    Thankfully, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)...

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Dev Reveals Secret of the Randomly Crashing Planes

    A former Rockstar dev explains why planes just sometimes crashed near the player.

    Those who have ever played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are probably well aware of just how frequently planes seemed to crash near CJ's location. The reason for these crashes were always up for debate with fans. Were they intentional? The result of some bug? Were they all part of an elaborate Easter Egg that involved finding Big Foot?

    After almost 20 years, the mystery seems to have finally...

    New maps, modes, weapons, and more.

    Season 3 just launched for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Today's new update includes new content for essentially all of the game's many game modes from maps, weapons, entirely new modes for multiplayer, new Operators, new events, new customization options, and much more.

    Apparently this Season for Modern Warfare 3 will include a new Blaze Up event, which I'm going to assume begins around April 20th for some reason. There is also...

    Treyarch is moving on from development of Call of Duty Zombies for Modern Warfare as the studio sets sights on future game development. Speaking with CharlieIntel, Treyarch says that they are moving "focus to something exciting on the horizon." That sure sounds like they are about to really buckle down on working on this year's Call of Duty, which is presumed to be Black Ops Gulf War.

    Hollow Knight: Silksong Store Page is Live on Xbox Store

    Of all the days...

    I know what you're thinking, but I can assure you that this is real. Hollow Knight: Silksong now has an official Xbox Store page. Prior to today, the game did not have any such official page for Xbox. Store listings for Hollow Knight: Silksong did already exist prior to today on the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Network, Steam, and on GOG.

    What does the appearance of this Xbox Store listing mean for the status of the game? Absolutely nothing or everything,...
