TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

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.

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Announced

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Announced

    It looks like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was announced today. All that was revealed today was the fact that it will eventually be a game but it won't be released until 2021. There's also a website for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 but it doesn't have much of anything on it. There is literally no other information released yet for the game. I feel as though it was announced this early because they want to spend the next three years torturing people like me with having to type the game's title out in each and...

    Smartphones vs Games Consoles: The Fight Begins

    There’s this consistent sense that games played on a smartphone or tablet are not as legitimate as those played on consoles or PCs. That notion is fast becoming a thing of the past, however, as mobile gaming continues to grow in both popularity and profit-making. There are a number of reasons for this transition, not least of which is the popularity of smartphones and their increasing ability to provide games that are not only competent in terms of graphics, but also excel at some of the more...

  • Rumor: New Leak Reveals Microsoft's New Xbox Controller for Accessibility

    Rumor: New Leak Reveals Microsoft's New Xbox Controller for Accessibility

    According to a leaked image obtained by Windows Central, Microsoft is about ready to reveal their new Xbox controller for accessibility. The controller is white with a glossy d-pad, the usual Xbox navigation buttons, and two oversized A and B pads. The controller, set to be revealed between now and E3 2018, seems to be designed to help those who favor haptic feedback rather than using their sight. It is my belief that these pads will function much like the Steam Controller and will al...
