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 ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

The studio says that "global economic context, the challenges of our industry, and the comprehensive restructuring announced by Embracer have...

    No Man's Sky Receives another Big, Surprise Update

    The update includes several quality-of-life improvements and more content.

    Just this past April, No Man's Sky was updated with a big content update dubbed Interceptor. The team at Hello Games then released a Mac version of No Man's Sky only about a week back. Now, they came back swinging with another big content update for the game that is available to all platforms.

    Today's update is dubbed Singularity and begins "chapter two of a four-part narrative which will play...

    Diablo 4 is Blizzard's Fastest Selling Game Ever

    Exact figures were not given.

    Diablo 4 has officially become the fastest selling game of all time, at least for Blizzard. The studio announced that the latest ARPG sold a lot of copies across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

    Exact numbers were not shared by Blizzard, only that it sold fast. Fast like Sonic, an IP that Blizzard doesn't own but is relevant to this news. The sales were probably helped tremendously by the fact that this release...

    Battlefield 2042 Season 6 Announced

    Surprise!

    It seems as though DICE and EA pulled a fast one on all of us. Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn was supposed to be the fifth and final season for the futuristic multiplayer FPS. I say supposed to be, because they just announced a sixth season earlier today.

    The announcement came via the official Battlefield social media channels like Instagram and Twitter.

    We know jack squat about what Season 6 will include. DICE said in their announcement that...

    Not only does this page include a schedule of upcoming events, but it will also allow you to watch the events live once they actually begin. This includes...

    Microsoft Says 'No' to Full CG Trailers for Xbox Showcase

    All trailers will be properly labeled so fans know what they're seeing.

    The head of Xbox marketing Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter that there will be no full CG trailers shown off during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. Greenberg states that none of the first-party games in the show are full CG trailers and that everything will be either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or a blend of in-game footage with some cinematics.

    He continues on to say that each trailer will...

    Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)

    Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.

    Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...

    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....

    Diablo 4 Early Access Launched and Went Relatively Smoothly

    Though there were some hiccups on consoles.
    The Early Access release of Blizzard's Diablo 4 kicked off last night and you know what? It went pretty damn smoothly all things considered. Anybody who remembers how bad the Diablo 3 launch went can tell you that it's a night and day difference with Diablo 4's launch. Of course, the real test might still be coming up when Diablo 4 "officially" launches to everyone on June 6, 2023.

    Battlefield 2042 Update 5.0.0 Changes Nerfs Sundance Again, Increases Bullet Spread

    Helicopters about to be a whole lot more annoying.

    If you thought taking down helicopters, especially the stealth choppers, were a pain in the ass before just you wait for Update 5.0.0 to drop for Battlefield 2042.

    Update 5.0.0 for Battlefield 2042 will arrive on Wednesday alongside the launch of Season 5 for the game. This (presumably) last season for Battlefield 2042 is set to add a new map, Reclaimed, along with new weapons, gadgets, a 100-tier Battle Pass, quality...

    Bloomberg Reports on What Led to Redfall's Downfall

    Development so troubled that developers hoped it would just get cancelled.

    It may come as no surprise to you to hear that the development of Redfall from Arkane Austin was plagued with issues at all levels. This includes a lack of oversight from Xbox management, staffing issues, and an ever changing design basis for the game itself. When Redfall launched last month, it was met with plenty of poor review scores from critics and players. It was filled with a myriad of technical bugs,...

    Starship Troopers: Extermination Roadmap Revealed

    Several phases are planned for Early Access.

    Starship Troopers: Extermination was released into Steam Early Access a couple of weeks back and I have to say, it's a ton of fun already. The team at Offworld Industries doesn't seem keen to stop the fun train any time soon as they just revealed their content roadmap for Early Access.

    This roadmap includes at least five distinct phases that will be rolled out in the weeks and months ahead in the Early Access period. We see...
