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 ...

  • March 2017 "Free" Games with Gold - Evolve, Layers of Fear, and More

    March 2017 "Free" Games with Gold - Evolve, Layers of Fear, and More

    March looks to be a rather interesting month for the free Games with Gold on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. One of the games included is Evolve, a game that technically no longer has its original developer working on it. The console versions of the game don't (the last I knew at least) have the latest F2P mechanics and content added to it as the PC version currently has. So that might be a thing.

    If nothing else, Xbox owners will get to play the enjoyable Layers of Fear and Borderlands...

    Dead Rising 4 Coming to Steam on March 14

    As most everyone suspected, Dead Rising 4 was merely a timed exclusive for the Windows 10 Store. That's right, on March 14 Dead Rising 4 will come out on Steam. How utterly, utterly shocking.
    Dead Rising 4 welcomes players to the seasonal festivities of Willamette, Colorado amidst a mysterious outbreak that is spreading across the Willamette Memorial Megaplex Mall and surrounding town. Photojournalist Frank West returns 16 years after the events of Dead Rising, this time around with

    Nvidia Counts Down to 1080Ti Reveal

    Nvidia had their own (pseudo) announcement today. The company has put up a timer on their GeForce website. The countdown is for roughly six days from now (six days, 3.5 hours from the time of this posting to be exact) and it strongly hints at them finally revealing the GTX 1080Ti.

    They also included a small tweet earlier today saying "It's almost time" with a video that again highlights the "Ti" part.
    As the countdown takes us to February 28, it migh...

    To celebrate World of Tanks Blitz hitting 80 million downloads across iOS, Android, OS X, and the Windows Store Wargaming is adding in the French. Soon, you will be able to drive a bunch of baguettes around the battlefield! And by baguettes, I do actually mean armored vehicles. There may or may not be crusty bread stashed inside said vehicles though.

    Speedrunner Distortion2 Completes Nioh in Just Over an Hour and a Half

    Speedruns for Nioh have been underway roughly a day or two after the game was released. The game has proven especially popular with runners that favor games like the Dark Souls franchise and Bloodborne. Speedrunner Distortion2 is no stranger to either of those games, often trading world records with his fellow runners over at Speedsouls. Distortion2 is the "current" world record holder (as of February 21, 2017) in Nioh with a time for doing all main missions of 1:36:51. Due to how new ...

    I don't pretend to know the first thing about the Persona series. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about this new Persona 5 trailer and The Velvet Room. I'm just going to let the press release and trailer speak for themselves.
    Sometimes when the protagonist of Persona 5 goes to sleep, he doesn't dream like a normal Japanese high-schooler. Oh no. He gets transported to a place that exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. A place where fate has made it look like
