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.

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...

    Why Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Test Won't Include PC

    There is an upcoming multiplayer technical test for Titanfall 2. Fans should be happy because it will give many people a chance to "demo" the game ahead of release as well as provide important information to the developers for final fixes and tweaks.

    The problem is that this test will only be on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and not on the PC. Why? Vince Zampella breaks it down.
    Two big issues from a development standpoint: hardware variety & “min spec” optimization.

    No Man's Sky is a Massive Disappointment

    About as deep and as entertaining as a puddle.

    I did something a bit different with my "Week in Review" this week for No Man's Sky. Instead of just writing up a few sentences about why I think the game is a massive disappointment, I decided to share my unedited rant/thoughts about the game. I recorded this last night as part of my Twitch stream of World of Warcraft. Why was I playing WoW and not No Man's Sky while talking about No Man's Sky? Well, it's simply because No Man's...

    Blizzard Rolling Out 60 Tickrate Update for Overwatch

    Even before its launch, people were raising hell about the poor tickrate situation in Overwatch. It was discovered that the client tickrate was roughly 20 while the servers sat at roughly 60 updates per second. This led to many situations such as being pulled through walls by Roadhog. Or maybe you saw a Killcam where you knew your character was in a slightly different location than what they enemy's feed conveyed. Yes, some of these issues are merely related to lag, but a lot did hav...
