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.

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...

    Dark Souls 2 PC Review

    Prepare to die all over again thanks to the PC release of Dark Souls 2 by From Software. Now, in thinking back to Total Gaming Network's review of the first Dark Souls for the PC, it was largely positive. We had a few issues here and there but most of the major complaints were alleviated thanks to a little community made tool called DSfix. If the original Dark Souls did not have DSfix, the first outing for the franchise on the PC would have been a complete disaster. Thankfully, From Softwa...

    Nintendo to Develop New Hardware for Emerging Markets

    Nintendo has gone on record as saying that they will develop completely new hardware revisions for emerging markets. This is in lieu of simply selling cheaper versions of its existing hardware such as the Wii U and 3DS. This news comes from Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata (via Bloomberg).
    “We want to make new things, with new thinking rather than a cheaper version of what we currently have,” Iwata said in Tokyo today. “The product and price balance must be made from scratch.”

The company also reported a net loss of ¥23.22 billion ($230 million), better than the ¥25 billion ($250 million) loss forecast, but

  • Activision Spending $500 Million on Developing and Promoting Bungie's Destiny

    According to a report from Reuters, Activision plans on spending a mere $500 million on developing and promoting Bungie's Destiny. That figure alone has the potential to break some industry records if everything pans out and goes anywhere near the $500 million figure that's being tossed around.

    Naturally, this figure was revealed by everybody's favorite CEO, Bobby Kotick, during the Milken conference in Los Angeles this past week.

    Valve Offering Refunds on Earth: Year 2066

    Earth: Year 2066 was not a good game. Sure, it was still an Early Access release but it was disturbingly bad even for that stage of release. It didn't help that the developer constantly deleted threads and posts from the Steam Community section for the game.

    Chris, an employee at Valve, stepped in today to announce that they are issuing refunds to those who purchased the game and have pulled the game from Early Access.
    On Steam, developers make their own decisions about promotion,
