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.

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,...

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...

  • Only One: The Game - Kanye West is Supposedly Making a Game with Paul McCartney


    Kanye West is making a game that will have music by Paul McCartney. It's called Only One: The Game and features Donda West (Kanye's late mom) riding Pegasus to the heavens.

    The above trailer seems to be the only footage online for this game right now. I apologize for how bad the quality and the annoying outro. Your guess is as good as mine right now about just what in the world is going on.

  • Quantum Break Confirmed for PC; Buy Xbox One Copy, Get PC Version for Free

    Quantum Break Confirmed for PC; Buy Xbox One Copy, Get PC Version for Free

    Microsoft and Remedy confirmed today that Quantum Break is indeed coming to the PC. What's more is that it's coming to the PC on the same day that it's coming to the Xbox One: April 5.

    On top of that news is the fact that those who pre-order the Xbox One version of the game will also get the PC version at no additional cost. Of course, there is a catch. That catch is that the game is Windows 10 exclusive. This probably also means that it will probably also be limited to using...
