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...

Multiple studios across all SIE regions impacted.

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 ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

  • Op-Ed: The PC Release of Mortal Kombat X Seems Silly and Dumb

    Op-Ed: The PC Release of Mortal Kombat X Seems Silly and Dumb

    To put it mildly, the PC release of Mortal Kombat X seems to be a bit of a clusterfuck. I "preloaded" the game last night and was surprised to see that it was only a bit over 3GB in size. "Huh, that's weird," I thought. I shrugged it off and instead proceeded to play the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V instead. Now, despite there being a few minor issues (unless you had certain 9xx series Nvidia cards), the PC launch of GTAV went really, really smoothly. This is especially in comparison ...

  • Mortal Kombat X Includes Microtransactions to Allow for Easier Fatalities

    Mortal Kombat X Includes Microtransactions to Allow for Easier Fatalities

    In a move that is right up there with selling horse armor, Netherrealm and WBIE have decided to include some less than savory optional microtransactions in Mortal Kombat X. Those who have purchased the game on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 may have already discovered that you can pay to have the ability to more easily pull off Fatalities. That's right, pay even more money (on top of the price of the game and optional Season Pass) just to earn the the ability off Fatalities more easily...

  • Destiny: House of Wolves Will Not Feature a New Raid

    Destiny: House of Wolves Will Not Feature a New Raid

    Despite the raids being one of the major pulls for players to constantly return to Destiny, Bungie has revealed today that the House of Wolves expansion will not feature a new raid. Instead, the company will offer a 3-player battle arena mode called "Prison of Elders." That's right, Bungie is not going to offer one of their strongest game features (raids) and is replacing it instead with something that either sounds like another PvP mode or, dare I say it, a horde based mode. Yup. Good call ...

    You know you've made it as a franchise when you appear in an endless runner game for mobile devices. Such is the case with Lara Croft and her upcoming mobile title, Lara Croft: Relic Run.

    Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have been working with the talented team at Simutronics,‏ who are developing the all-new Lara Croft: Relic Run. Many of you have correctly mused that Relic Run is an adventure runner, and at its core it is, but we feel that it’s much more than that.

  • Activision Teasing a new Game, It's Probably Guitar Hero

    Activision Teasing a new Game, It's Probably Guitar Hero

    Activision released a new teaser trailer today. It features a band, guitars, musical instruments, and all things associated with a rock concert. So unless they're bringing back a weirdly re-imagined Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon, this is probably a teaser for a new Guitar Hero game.


    I mean, a new Rock Band was already announced, so why shouldn't they also jump back onto the bandwagon? Though some sources say they've actually been working on this since 2013....

  • Rockstar Editor is a Robust Video Editor Included with Grand Theft Auto V on PC

    Remember how Grand Theft Auto IV on PC included the ability to splice together the previous few minutes of gameplay into a video that you could share with the world? It was a nifty feature, even if it was a bit limited in scope. Rockstar has decided to take that idea a step further in Grand Theft Auto V with the Rockstar Editor and a new Director Mode.

    Presenting the Rockstar Editor – a special feature in Grand Theft Auto V for PC that allows players to record, edit, and
