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,...

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Digital Homicide Also Suing 100 Steam Users for $18 Million

    Digital Homicide Also Suing 100 Steam Users for $18 Million

    Not content with being a bothersome fly on Jim Sterling's wall, Indie "developer" James Romine of Digital Homicide, is now going after 100 anonymous Steam users. To make what is arguably a long (and stupid) story short, Romaine has been in a legal battle with Jim Sterling for well over a year now. Essentially, Digital Homicide accused Sterling of "assault, libel, and slander" after he put out a video blasting them for their low-effort and low-quality games. You know, as Jim Sterling tends to...

    A new trailer for the PlayStation VR game, Summer Lesson, was released this week as part of the Tokyo Game Show 2016 showing. What is Summer Lesson? I'm not really sure. Probably something that will have people saying the word "waifu" at multiple points.
