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...

    YouTube to Get 60 FPS Option

    YouTube will soon have the ability to display a higher framerate than most Xbox One games (ho ho, I WENT THERE!). They revealed earlier this evening that they will "soon" have 48 FPS and 60 FPS options for uploaders. They even went so far as to include a few sample videos that are apparently already running at 60 FPS. Unfortunately for everyone, it seems as though YouTube still insists at compressing the visual quality down just as much as before. So while the jump in framerate is certainly welc...

    Maxis and EA have confirmed already that they are ripping out some features that have been a part of The Sims for quite some time from The Sims 4. These features include the "Toddler" life stage and swimming pools. No joke, these have been a part of the series since the first game.
    "It's not possible for us to include every single feature and piece of content we added to The Sims 3 over the last five years," said Ryan Vaughan, a Maxis Producer.
    Also of note is that teenagers will be the...

    Valve Trying to Stop Steam Summer Adventure Collusion

    These past few days, you may have seen some of the teams running away with an easy victory. Many speculated there was some event rigging going on either by the community, by Valve, or by both. It turns out that the rigging was all done on the community side and Valve is now working hard to combat the obvious rigging. Instead of jolly cooperation, Valve wants you to go for the throat.
    Valve, apparently unhappy with the lack of competition between teams, changed the contest to award

    DICE is clueless as to why fans liked to play Battlefield: Bad Company. In speaking with Eurogamer, Karl-Magnus Troedsson explained that they keep hearing the fans calling for a new Bad Company game but they're apparently clueless as to why.
