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...

President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, announced the layoffs to the public today. The public statement came after an email was sent to all employees informing them of the layoffs. From Ryan's...
 

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    Valve Announces 'The Lab' for VR Experiments at GDC

    If you will be attending GDC next week in San Francisco, you may want to set aside some time to check out what Valve will be doing. The studio announced that they will debut something called "The Lab," which is a compilation of a number of VR experiments that visitors can try out. The Lab is "set in a pocket universe of Aperture Science" and "offers multiple ways to enjoy room-scale VR." It's probably almost a 100% guarantee that the VR hardware on display for these demos will be the HTC V...

  • Microsoft Shuts Down Lionhead Studios and Press Play, Fable Legends Cancelled

    Microsoft announced a couple of very sudden doses of bad news today. First is the announcement that Fable Legends has been cancelled. That's the "less bad" of the bad news for today. However, obviously related to that is the second piece of big news: Lionhead Studios and Press Play Studios are being shut down. This news comes quite suddenly, especially given that Fable Legends was updated just four days ago with an email sent out to testers just three days ago explaining the new changes. ...

  • Overwatch Leak Shows Release Date of May 24

    Overwatch Leak Shows Release Date of May 24

    IGN's ad campaign may have accidentally jumped the gun a bit. It seems as though a bunch of ads on their site have let slip that the release date for Overwatch is set for May 24, with early access beginning on May 3.

    The below image, that I first saw via NeoGAF, clearly shows this little "whoopsie" from IGN. You want to know something that's just a wee bit annoying (at least so far as everyone's wallets are concerned)? May releases also include Battleborn, Uncharted 4, Doom, Homefront:...

    Final Two Battleborn Heroes Revealed

    Gearbox announced the final two playable heroes for Battleborn: Kleese and El Dragon.
    Kleese and El Dragón have two things in common: they both depend on the Last Light Consortium’s (LLC) technology to help them kick ass, and they’re both the most absolutely absurd heroes to join the Battleborn’s fight to save the last star in the universe. But where the cantankerous robotics genius Kleese hates getting his hands dirty, El Dragón would love nothing more than to grapple his

  • Cinematic and Gameplay TV Spots for The Division

    Cinematic and Gameplay TV Spots for The Division

    Two new TV spots came out today for Tom Clancy's The Division. One is a cinematic trailer, so it naturally doesn't really have much in the way of gameplay. The other is more gameplay focus, so it naturally doesn't have much in the way of cinematics. That's just how these things work. The Division is out on March 8 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The Xbox One has an 30 day exclusive period for the DLC. I'm not sure if this applies to the free DLC, the paid DLC, or both. ...
