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.

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...

    Multiplayer Horror Game Daemonical Announced for Steam Early Access

    Daemonical will soon (in May) be released on Steam Early Access. What is Daemonical? I'm glad you asked. Daemonical is a multiplayer game where you try to survive on a remote island-- Hey wait! It's not a survival game! It's an asymmetrical mutliplayer PvP horror game!

    Here is part of the very lengthy "about" section of the game from Steam. Maybe this will give you a better idea of what the game is actually about.

    Those battle royale style games are so hot right now, provided they aren't getting sued by PUBG Corp. Maybe that's why BossKey just announced a new battle royale style game today just days after they announced that they are stopping development on LawBreakers.

    Seriously, the digital ink on that announcement isn't even dry yet and they already announced a new game. Their new title is called Radical Heights and it will be a free-to-play game that will enter into Early Access...

    Michael Ironside Returns as Sam Fisher in Ghost Recon Wildlands

    I somehow had no idea about this news until about a minute ago, but Ubisoft revealed today that Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher is back. Back in the sense that he'll be a special partner brought in for a special Ghost Recon Wildlands event. The very short announcement says that the "full briefing" will be on April 9. Perhaps the best part about all of this? Michael Ironside is back as the voice of Sam Fisher. I can only assume (perhaps hope and pray even) that this means there's a new Splin...
