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.

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.

    Three Minute Trailer for Tom Clancy's The Division is Looking Really Good

  • Origin Access Announced by EA for the PC

    Origin Access Announced by EA for the PC

    EA Access is quite popular on the Xbox One, so it just makes sense that a similar program found its way to other platforms. The next stop is the PC and instead of calling it "EA Access" they are instead calling it "Origin Access" to go hand in hand with their PC distribution platform. For $4.99 (USD) a month, Origin Access will give you access to older EA titles to play until your heart is content (or your subscription expires), early access to upcoming EA titles, and 10% off of purc...

    Father Blames EA and Microsoft for 17-Year Old Son Amassing $8K Xbox Bill

    Lance Perkins is disgusted at the near $8,000 (CAD) bill he received for purchases made by his 17-year old son in a recent FIFA release on the Xbox platform. Perkins received a credit card bill for $7,625.88 after his son purchased multiple in-game purchases for the game.

    His son, being of an age where he should know better, fed his father a line about how he had no idea that it wasn't just a one-time fee.

  • Valve Accidentally Posts Steam Winter Sale Recap to the Public

    Valve Accidentally Posts Steam Winter Sale Recap to the Public

    Earlier today, a member of SteamDB noticed that Valve mistakenly posted what should have been a private recap of the Steam Winter Sale to the general public. Below is a pasting of that recap. It even includes a "tl;dr" at the very top for those with the shortest of attention spans.
    In short: More customers bought more games across more of the Steam catalog.

    As you already know, the format of discounts in this year’s Winter sale was a little different from past years.

  • Watch_Dogs Mod for Grand Theft Auto V is Everything You Hoped it Would Be

    Watch_Dogs Mod for Grand Theft Auto V is Everything You Hoped it Would Be

    A mod maker for Grand Theft Auto V, JulioNIB, created a really interesting mod for the game that imports some of Watch_Dogs' best features while keeping out the rest of the game that was kind of crap. It's a script that adds in some Watch_Dogs style "hacks" into the game. That is to say, you can "hack" street lights to turn green, raise bollards, have ATM machines shoot out money, and more. They even included the means to hack security cameras and blackout portions of the city. A video of th...
