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 ...

    The Evil Within 2 Even Has an Evil Priest

    "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." ...

    New Assassin's Creed Origins Mode Offers a Historical Tour of Ancient Egypt

    The "Discovery Tour" is a special mode in the upcoming Assassin's Creed Origins that will offer up a history lesson on ancient Egypt. This mode removes the combat and offers up a "living museum" type experience. It even includes guided tours.
    “This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, that we’ve been asked to do by teachers, by institutions,” says Jean Guesdon, creative director for Assassin’s Creed Origins. “Discovery Tour is another way to enjoy the beauty

    Volition Lays Off Over 30 Employees

    Over the years, Volition created some pretty great games that includes the recently released Agents of Mayhem game plus the Saints Row, Descent Freespace, and Summoner franchises. Today, the studio laid off over 30 of its roughly 200 employees. These layoffs include General Manager Dan Cermak and video editor Josh "Chip Cheezum" Stinson. Stinson was perhaps best known for being the main face on most of Volition's livestreams. This all came about a month after the release of Agents o...

    LawBreakers Probably Chose a Bad Time to Have a Free Weekend

    Today, LawBreakers kicked off a 25% sale through Steam that runs through to next week. Boss Key Studios also announced a free weekend for the game, that runs from September 28 until October 2. There's just a little problem with the timing on that.

    See, the free release of Fortnite Battle Royale just happened. Also? The open beta for Call of Duty: WWII is slated for September 29. Given the huge cross-over between fans of these types of games, it probably wasn't such a great...

  • Confusion Forces Monolith to Change Plans on Middle-earth: Shadow of War Charity DLC

    Last month, WB Games and Monolith announced that they would be donating to the family of Mike Forgey, the former Executive Producer at Monlith. Forgey sadly passed away after a battle with brain cancer. Monolith said that all proceeds from the $3.50 Forthog DLC would be donated to the Forgey family. Well, the wording got a little muddled. The donations were only "confirmed" for most of the United States. Due to laws in other regions, including those "excluded" states, they couldn't ju...

    A Fool and His Money... RAID: World War II is Out Today

    If you like to bet on bad games, you may be interested to hear that RAID: World War II is out today on Steam for the Windows PC platform! Yeah, don't get too excited. Unless they made some significant changes in the past month, the game is a flaming pile of garbage. And judging by many of the user reviews on Steam, most of the issues I had a month ago in the beta were not addressed. I'd suggest you stay clear of this one. However, if you really hate having $39.99 in your pocket, don't let m...

  • There are Nazis in New Orleans According to Latest Wolfenstein II Gameplay Video

    The latest trailer for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus informs us that there are Nazis in New Orleans. This is actually less of a trailer and more of a developer walkthrough video. It features over 20 minutes of gameplay, so it's pretty obvious that there will be spoilers included.
    The once vibrant city of New Orleans is now a rundown wasteland that’s been walled off by the Nazis. In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, you’ll set out to rescue Resistance Leader Horton Boone in

  • Valve Removes 173 Spam Titles from Steam Yet Keeps Achievement Farming Games

    Valve Removes 173 Spam Titles from Steam Yet Keeps Achievement Farming Games

    Earlier, Valve pulled 173 "spam" titles from the Steam store. These titles belonged to Silent Echo Studios. The studio avoided paying the $100 fee for Steam Direct on multiple occasions by submitting multiple games at once. This led to multiple games being added to the Steam store to the tune of roughly a couple dozen games per month. These were all submitted with Steam trading cards and thus attracted collectors that just had to catch 'em all. The studio made a pretty penny on the sale...
