TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...
 

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...

    United Front Games Supposedly Closed, Smash and Grab No Longer on Sale

    According to a post by NeoGAF moderator bishoptl, United Front Games, may be shut down. The studio allegedly let employees go earlier today.

    It also looks like their latest game, SMASH+GRAB, is no longer available for sale on Steam. The game was available as recently as yesterday and even has an ongoing free weekend. The game was only just released last month on Steam Early Access. This also seems to indicate that we may never see a proper sequel to Sleeping Dogs from the...

  • More Red Dead Sequel Teasing by Rockstar

    More Red Dead Sequel Teasing by Rockstar

    After yesterday's fairly obvious teasing of a new Red Dead sequel, Rockstar has once again uploaded a new image across their social media sites.

    I suspect we're in for a few more of these before all is said and done. Hell, we might even get an announcement trailer at the end of it all. People are expecting a Red Dead Redemption 2 but it would actually be the third game in the series. It's probably going to be Red Dead (Some other "R" word here), but we'll just have to wait...

  • Mafia III PC Review

    Mafia III PC Review

    Repetitive, bland, broken, and disappointing.
    It has become increasingly difficult to find many good things to say about Mafia III. In the time I have spent with the game, I have seen an abundance of glitches, poor A.I., uninspired open-world gameplay, and story missions so repetitive that even the first Assassin’s Creed is jealous. It’s a very interesting situation I found myself in while playing through the repetitive gameplay slog for hours on end, because I am someone who...

    Rockstar Games Teasing New Red Dead Game

    Rockstar Games just uploaded the above image to Twitter today.

    Afterwards, they made a similar post to their Newswire. Shortly after they changed their cover photo on Facebook.

    If this isn't a sign of an upcoming announcement for a new Red Dead game, then I don't know what is. When Rockstar revealed their last game, Grand Theft Auto V in 2011, they did a similar tactic. In the case of Grand Theft Auto V, they revealed the game via trailer a week after the initial...
