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.

Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    Kitana is the Latest Mortal Kombat 11 Character Reveal


    Another playable character was revealed today for the Mortal Kombat 11 roster. It is Kitana. The headline told you as much. What it didn't tell you is the fact that this reveal came from a new TV spot for the game.

    Actual gameplay for Kitana, and presumably a look at her Fatality, will be shown during the new Kombat Kast livestream this week. ...

    Z1 Battle Royale Dropped by New Developer After One Month


    Daybreak Games just can't seem to catch a break. Their mess, otherwise known as H1Z1 has been met with another weird twist in its story. It was announced that NantG Mobile, the studio that took over development of the game, has dropped the game and given it back to its original developer Daybreak Games.

    H1Z1 is now known as Z1 Battle Royale, but you may also know it as H1Z1: King of the Kill, H1Z1: Just Survive, King of the Kill, or the second iteration of its original H1Z1...

    Second Truck Driver Dev Update Video Released


    Around these parts, we're always keen to get some insight into game development and I'm sure you are too! That's why the "developer diary" style video was created. I'm sure we all love driving trucks as well. It's what mother nature intended for us to do. Drive trucks and watch developer update videos.

    Today, those two magnificent worlds collide with the release of the second developer update video for Truck Driver. Today's video has Remco de Rooij of Triangle Studios...

    European Commission Demands Valve to Stop Geo-blocking Games in EU, Valve Issues Response


    Early this morning, the European Commission (EC) issued an official "statements of objections" today towards Valve, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media, and ZeniMax. The EC claims that all of these companies are involved in anti-trust violations by placing geographic restrictions (geo-blocking/geo-locking) on the games that they sell.

    The EC says that these companies have geo-blocked Steam activation keys for games sold throughout Eastern Europe. Some of these...

    Today, WBIE and NetherRealm released another new gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat 11. Much like their previous releases, this one is indeed for a new character reveal. Today we get a look at an all-new character, The Kollector.

    Check out The Kollector's back story below and his reveal trailer. Yes, there is a glimpse of a Fatality included. Maybe Google won't get mad at me for including this gameplay trailer here. For some reason they didn't much like the last character reveal...

    First of Three New Videos Released for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey


    Panache Digital Games and Private Division have released the first video in a new three-video series for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. We actually briefly talked about this game back when it was revealed to have a 2019 release date, which has some more general information about the game itself. As before, the game is looking to arrive this year on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

    The short of it is that the game tasks you with trying to survive, thus ensuring the future of your species through evolution and good decision making. It is an open-world survival game at heart, but instead of just your own survival at stake, it's the fate of all humanity. Hey, no pressure or anything, right? ...

    Borderlands 3 will officially be released on September 13, 2019 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Epic Games Store for PC. In case you missed the obvious "hints" dropped earlier this week, or were in denial as I repeatedly saw from people on other sites, the PC release is indeed a six month timed exclusive on the Epic Game Store before it will hit other PC storefronts like Steam.

    However, the point of this isn't to talk about how completely bullshit exclusives...
