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. 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 ...

  • Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

    Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

    Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.

    When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game...

  • Armored Core 6 Features a First for a FromSoftware PC Release

    Armored Core 6 Features a First for a FromSoftware PC Release

    All the frames.

    To put it bluntly, FromSoftware's releases on PC have been severely lacking when stacked up against the competition. First, there was Dark Souls which essentially needed the user-created DSfix that addressed the lacking internal resolution and other graphical issues. More recently there was Elden Ring where, although it's a fantastic game, it was capped to 60FPS and still to this day features severe hitching.

    Perhaps that's about to change with FromSoftware's...

  • Twitter is Finally Dead

    Twitter is Finally Dead

    It's apparently been replaced by a unicode character.

    The good news here is that Twitter is finally dead! The bad news is that it's only because Elon Musk is rebranding Twitter to X. Or to be more specific, it's 𝕏. That is to say, it's simply the unicode character U+1D54F. Yes, Musk and cohorts continue to take what already existed instead of creating something new themselves.

    The change comes because Musk is apparently the biggest fan of the letter "X",...

  • Diablo 4's Battle Pass Doesn't Offer Enough Currency to Buy Cheapest Store Item

    You would need to save for at least two seasons to afford even one in-game purchase.

    The first season of Diablo 4 has certainly encountered more than a few issues already. Released about a week ago, Season of the Malignant, first had a very controversial and nerf-filled update, which angered a lot of players. Now, fans are discovering that the premium Battle Pass track doesn't even give you enough premium currency, Platinum, to be able to afford even the cheapest item from the in-game...

    Blizzard Admits Mistakes Were Made in Season 1 Patch for Diablo 4

    The studio promises to never do a patch like it ever again.

    The latest major patch for Diablo 4 nerfed the every living hell out of several key abilities across every class in the game. The update, version 1.1.0a that came out on July 18th ahead of the start of Season 1: Season of the Malignant, has been heavily criticized by players for days now. The update nerfed several abilities across every class that, for many players, made the game just unfun to play.
