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.

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,...

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.

  • Watch the Republican and Democratic National Conventions on Twitch Because You Hate Yourself

    Twitch is going to stream both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions to audiences this year. Not only that, but you can stream the Conventions to your own stream while providing your own commentary to your community. If you know anything about the absolute horrendous cesspool of hell that the Twitch chat can end up being for large events, you'll understand why this is already a bad idea to begin with.

    Twitch to Crack Down on CS:GO Skin Gambling Streams

    Twitch prides itself on abiding by third-party terms of service and user agreements.

    Large Group of Australian Pokemon Go Players Had Eggs Thrown at Them

    The once fairly peaceful Australian suburb of Rhodes found itself the focus of a large group of regular Pokemon Go players searching for rare and elusive Pokemon to add to their collection. It seems as though the area was a prime spot to find some of the more rare creatures and thus attracted the attention of hundreds, even thousands of would-be Trainers to areas near to high-density residential housing on a nightly basis. It seems as though the noise generated by the nightly crowds was ...
