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...

Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    It looks like you will have to yet again "wait a bit longer" for the release of Final Fantasy XV.

    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...

    THQ Rises From the Dead; 23 Projects in Development

    THQ is back! Kind of! Sort of?

    It seems as though Nordic Games has been renamed to THQ Nordic. So in a way, it's like THQ is back! Only not. But they are? Yes.
    Whilst we take great pride in our Swedish roots and accomplished a great deal under the Nordic Games masthead, we decided it was time to incorporate the THQ name. Those key brands will continue to shape our business in a meaningful way going forward, and THQ Nordic represents a core approach of doing much more

    PSA: No Man's Sky on PC is a Technical Dumpster Fire

    It seems as though the PC release of No Man's Sky is a bit of a clusterfuck right now. People all over are reporting technical issues that range from being unable to play the game to getting far below expected performance even on the latest and greatest video cards.

    A "PC Performance Thread" on NeoGAF has generated literally hundreds of replies in the past few hours from people encountering stuttering, a 30fps cap, ALT+TAB not working, a complete lack of anisotropic filtering,...

    For the first time since October 2015, the Xbox One was the best selling console in the United States.

They said that they are "honored that Xbox One was the best-selling console in the U.S." They go on to say that the hours that consumers spent using all Xbox products was up "18 percent" over the same per...

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Dota 2 Announcer Pack Reveal

    There is a Deus Ex: Mankind Divided announcer pack that could potentially be added to Dota 2. I say "could" because the community still needs to vote it in on the Steam Community, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it will be added.

    Yes, the announce pack if of none other than Adam Jensen, voiced by Elias Toufexis and was officially created by Eidos Montreal.
