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...

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 ...

    We're still a week out from April Fool's day, right? Yeah? So this is real? Damn.

    Thief Already 50% Off in Xbox Live Store Deal

    On March 28, the latest Thief title will go on sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox One for 50% off. This is in addition to 50% off Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, 33% off Call of Duty: Ghosts and 20% off Call of Duty: Ghosts Digital Hardened Edition. The big sale on Tomb Raider isn't too surprising since it's already a re-release title. The surprising news is most certainly concerning Thief and its 50% discount. This could be a worrying sign that the newest release in the fran...

    This year, Insomniac Games celebrates 20 years of being in the industry. As a result, they made a music video! Wait... what?!


    I would expect nothing less from the studio that brought us the Spyro franchise, Ratchet & Clank, and the upcoming Sunset Overdrive for the Xbox One.

    If, for any reason, you want just the audio track for the song, you can grab it from Soundcloud....

    Developer Says Steam Greenlight Going Away within a Year as Steam Becomes More Open

    According to Tweets (via CVG) made by Jonathan Biddle of Curve Studios, Valve may be getting rid of their Steam Greenlight service within the next 12 months.
    We met with Valve at GDC, and they say Greenlight will be gone within 12 months. They'll still offer curated space, but otherwise be open.
    This tends to go hand in hand with what Gabe Newell said a couple of months ago about wanting to make Greenlight go away as Steam evolves. This also ties in with how Valve is giving m...

    Battlefield 4 Naval Strike Delayed on PC to an Unknown Date

    It seems as though a last minute issue known as "the entirety of Battlefield 4" (ha, jokes) showed up for Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on the PC. As a result, DICE is delaying the release of the new expansion just for PC owners. Console owners running with Premium will get their hands on Naval Strike on schedule (today).
    However, we are delaying the launch of Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC. We’ve detected an issue and it needs to be solved. Quality is our number one priority and

    Ubisoft Shows First Video Glimpse at Assassin's Creed Unity

    The recent leak on Assassin's Creed Unity may have forced Ubisoft's hand in showing a trailer for the game long before they actually wanted to. Even still, this is a nice gesture on their part to give the fans what they wanted.

    We have been working on the new Assassin's Creed for more than three years and although we weren't quite ready to show you our full vision for a next-gen only AC, it seems Abstergo are trying to force our hand! So here's a true first look at in-game

They learned that not only will you get to ride elephants, but it will be shown off in some capacity during Ubisoft's E3 press conference in June. It's apparently slated for release on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC platforms. It's said that the gam...

    PSA: Wal-Mart Selling Titanfall Xbox One Bundle for $450

    This may be going on for a limited time (or it may be a new permanent price, who knows) but Wal-Mart is offering the Titanfall Xbox One bundle for just $450. That's a savings of $50 from the $500 suggested price and the price of the bundle just about everywhere else.

    This bundle includes the Xbox One, controller, Kinect, a digital copy of Titanfall, and a month of Xbox Live Gold.

    Interestingly, Wal-Mart is also selling the non-Titanfall bundle for $450 (USD). Keep...

    DirectX 12 Information Revealed, Targeting Holiday 2015 Release

    As promised, Microsoft has taken the lid off of their DirectX 12 reveal earlier today at GDC 2014. Get ready for some nice performance gains on machines with lower end CPUs, but not until December of 2015 at the earliest. The good news is that most current, modern GPUs will be able to make use of DirectX 12. Support for DirectX 12, at least for Nvidia, will be on all "the DX11-class GPUs it (Nvidia) has shipped." This includes cards from the Fermi line, Kepler, Maxwell, and beyond. ...
