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...

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 ...

    There Will Be Another Beta for The Crew on November 25

    Ubisoft is going to offer up players yet another opportunity to test drive a beta for The Crew prior to the game's planned December release. This is an open beta and will run from November 25-27 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The open beta will include the East Coast and Midwest regions from the map of the United States. I believe that means you can actually do missions up through these two regions while still exploring the rest in free roam. It will grant access to Street cars...

    Over 7 Million People Have Played Titanfall

    EA and Respawn Entertainment, through a new "feature update" video, have revealed that Titanfall has been played by over 7 million unique players.

    That means at least 7 million copies of the game have been sold to end consumers, not just shipped. I'm sure we'll see a sequel to the game in the coming years. Hopefully the sequel has a longer life than the first game did. It would have been nice to keep playing that game for more than a couple of months after its release....
