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 ...

    Raids in Destiny Will Not Support Random Player Matchmaking

    If you want to do a raid in the full version of Destiny, you better have five friends ready to go. Bungie said that there will be no matchmaking with random players when it comes to in-game raids.

    Bungie's Luke Smith explains to IGN just how extremely crafted these multi-hour raids are and why matchmaking would not benefit any person.
    Raids are “extremely crafted,” six-player, friends-only gauntlet runs that might best be described as gut-checks. Yes, they will

    Crytek Lays Off Employees from Austin Offices

    Following the sale of Crytek UK and the Homefront IP to Deep Silver, Crytek revealed some major restructuring throughout a few of their other studios. Hardest hit are the remains of Crytek UK and Crytek Austin.

    Crytek UK might not be that doomed as Deep Silver is looking to acquire staff for their new studio, Deep Silver Dambuster Studios. The good news here is that most of those that were at Crytek UK are making the move to the Deep Silver studio to continue work on Homefront:...

    Sony Doesn't Feel EA Access Provides a "Good Value to the PlayStation Gamer"

    "Why is EA Access only on the Xbox platform," seems to be the question of the week for many gamers. If nothing else, surely it would also be on the PlayStation platform as well, right?

    Unfortunately, Sony feels as though EA's subscription based service doesn't add a "good value" for PlayStation gamers out there. A Sony representative provided the following statement to Game Informer.
    "We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring

    Deep Silver Buys Homefront IP from Crytek

    In a move that should help Crytek out financially for the short term, they have sold the Homefront IP to Koch Media, the parent company of Deep Silver. This sale will see Crytek UK turn into Deep Silver Dambuster Studios. It should also hopefully mean that those still left at the former Crytek UK will finally start to get paid again.

    Koch has stated that development on Homefront: The Revolution will continue at Deep Silver Dambuster Studios. Hasit Zala had left Crytek UK...

    Activision and Bungie should be thrilled at these numbers. They revealed that over 4.6 million people played the beta for Destiny. They are claiming that it's the biggest beta of this console generation by a wide margin and the "largest console beta ever for a new video game IP to date."
    The beta began first on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 on July 17 and came to a close Sunday evening, with 4,638,937 unique players participating. "This is the biggest beta of this consol

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Multiplayer Reveal on August 11

    On August 11 at 10AM (PT), the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be revealed to the world.


    You will be able to watch at the Call of Duty website. The event will (I assume from this wording) be presented live from gamescom 2014. It will also (I am again assuming based on the above image) be presented through Xbox Live since Activision and Microsoft are fairly cozy when it comes to this series.

    Unreal Tournament Team Deathmatch Footage

    You can check out some very early gameplay footage from the new Unreal Tournament. The two videos below show off some gameplay in unfinished and untextured maps. The first one is a more of a "behind the scenes" sort of view with the action starting around the 1 minute mark. The second video looks like direct gameplay capture from Beyond Unreal but at a resolution most of you haven't seen for years.

    With nations brought to their knees by a global terrorist attack, the world turns to Atlas, the largest private military company on the planet. Power, though, changes everything.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is actually looking pretty good there. I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I'm inevitably always burned hard on these games when they're actually released....

    SecuROM DRM Found in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

    Despite EA's good will in offering a free copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection to everyone, it seems as though the nasty DRM known as SecuROM is included in the install.

    Reclaim Your Game has discovered the presence of the dreaded copy protection system, SecuROM, after digging through the files for the game. They say that they have found no issues as a result of it being included and also note that it is entirely possible it is simply left over from the original release...
