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 ...

    Crush Your Enemies Smashes Onto the Nintendo Switch this Summer

    This Summer, the Nintendo Switch will get a "plundering, swearing, beer-drinking barbarian" by way of the real-time strategy game, Crush Your Enemies.

    Today's announcement comes with a fresh trailer to show off what the deal is with the game.
    Retro strategy games were awesome, but let’s face it: grinding for an entire hour only to win one measly skirmish? Not so great. Crush Your Enemies does away with such nonsense but keeps all the good stuff you love in a strategy

    Top 3 Multiplayer Games Not to be Missed


    We all know the joys of spending an hour or two (or more!) with our favorite games, lost in the escapism it brings us. Fed up after a hard day of work? Forgetting about it while battling space aliens is a sure way to get you back to feeling your best. What if, however, your current games aren’t quite up to par? Perhaps you’ve played them one too many times, and you know the easiest ways to complete each level, meaning there’s no challenge left. One way to inject some fun back into ...

    New Trailer for Party Game 'Headsnatchers'

    Iceberg Interactive just released a new trailer for a game called Headsnatchers. It's a new party game that they're claiming is like "Gang Beasts meets Japanese game TV shows." The game will enter into Steam Early Access on July 10, 2018 from developer IguanaBee.
    Inspired by some of the wackiest Japanese game television shows, Headsnatchers enables players to snatch each other’s cartoony heads and use them to compete in a series of insane minigames, for example slam-dunking the

    Agony Devs Break Another Promise, Cancel Agony Unrated

    This one is a big ol' "yikes." The saga of Agony has been a real rough one. After successfully being crowdfunded, the game was delayed for months before eventually being released. However, it had to make some cuts to the content in order to appease its publisher and not be hit with an AO rating.

    The developer, Madmind Studio, said that they would release an uncensored patch with all of the cut content afterwards. Only, they didn't allegedly due to legal reasons. So the game...

    Telltale Reportedly Ditching Their Old In-House Game Engine in Favor of Unity

    At long last, Telltale Games is going to ditch their own in-house engine that has been used for a bit over 30 games at this point. They will begin to use the Unity engine for all games after The Walking Dead: The Final Season.

    This means that the Telltale adventure game based on Stranger Things should be the first game built using Unity. While many may argue that Unity on consoles isn't all that great, they should agree that it's better than continuing to use Telltale's old...

    Though the Steam Store seems to be up and down more than a uh... er... roller coaster (let's just go with that), I will tell you now that the Steam Summer Sale for 2018 is now underway. That's probably why the store keeps bringing up errors every so often. It's a Steam sale. If you've been around for the past couple of years, you know what the deal is here. If not, you should know that there are no daily deals. There are no flash sales. If you see something on sale from now until July ...

    Valve Talks About SteamVR Skeletal Input and New Knuckles EV2 Controllers

    Valve just showed off their new SteamVR Skeletal Input system that aims to more accurately replicate what a player's hand and body are doing in a virtual environment.
    The Skeletal Input system will allow controller makers to capture the pose of the user’s hand as accurately as their sensors are able, and provide it as a stream of animation data to the running app. App developers can then use this stream to animate the hands of the user’s avatar on its own or in combination with

    PUBG Compensates Users that Were Wrongfully Banned

    Yesterday, the PUBG Corp. announced that some innocent players got caught up in some false positives for their anti-cheat. As a way of apologizing, these users have been unbanned and given a little compensation in the form of 20,000 BP to spend in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
    As you know, one of our highest priorities is working towards eliminating hackers and cheaters from PUBG. We’ve made great strides in this area recently, but unfortunately sometimes we get it wrong, which
