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...

  • Battleborn Goes "Free" to Play with a "Free Trial" Starting Today

    Battleborn Goes "Free" to Play with a "Free Trial" Starting Today

    2K and Gearbox announced today that Battleborn now has a free "trial." It is being unceremoniously called Battleborn: Free Trial and it grants unlimited access to the competitive multiplayer and maps all without time limits, level caps, or any planned end date. Yes, they have very carefully not called it "free to play" in their announcement. So I guess Pitchford can still be "technically" correct about the game not going "F2P." So this "free trial" differs from being a full "free to pl...

    Horizon Shipped Over 3.4 Million Copies

    It has been reported today that Horizon Zero Dawn has "sold" more than 3.4 million copies as of April 30. That is a period of roughly two months since the game's release. Now, I say "sale" because it has not been specified if those units were sold through to consumers or simply sold to retail outlets, though Sony has only revealed sold-through figures on recent reports. It was however specified that at least 915,000 of that 3.4 million figure were digital sales directly to consumers. ...
