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 ...

    Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is Live

    Doom Slayer, Geralt, motor bikes, augments, and so much more.

    Yesterday, the third chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale came to an end. Today, Chapter 4 launched with yet another major update to the map, a new Battle Pass, new gear, new unlocks, new cosmetics, and everything else.

    On the surface, one of the most apparent changes in this new chapter is the move to Unreal Engine 5.1. Epic Games also included some new ways to get around the map that include a dirt bike, rolling...

    Fortnite Updated to Unreal Engine 5.1

    A big engine update just arrived.

    Today marked the release of Chapter 4 for the battle royale portion of Fortnite. Today also includes a big update to the game's engine which brings Fortnite up to Unreal Engine version 5.1. I felt as though this was a significant enough update to warrant a separate news post away from the other Chapter 4 news (still to come).

    With this rather significant engine bump comes a lot of new visual features and changes. Epic Games outlined these...

    Season 5 for Battlefield 2042 Confirmed

    Plus, details about upcoming new and revised maps, the final new Specialist, and more.

    Though Season 3 for Battlefield 2042 began just about a week and a half back, that hasn't stopped DICE from talking about what's coming next for the game. Season 4 details were shared with fans, plus the studio confirmed that Season 5 will be coming in 2023. Perhaps the most enticing thing mentioned here is that the map set to arrive in Season 5 will be based on a map we last saw in Battlefield 4. T...

    Starting with the pay, the report says that the average annual pay at FromSoftware is about ¥3.41 million or around $24,500 (USD). This amount is described by one anonymous FromSoftware as...

    Twitch Adds New Tool to Combat Hate Raids and Harassment

    A new "shield mode" is Twitch's latest effort to help stop harassment.

    Twitch, the live streaming platform owned by Amazon, is again trying to curtail harassment campaigns that have been aptly named "hate raids." This is where some loser gets a large number of people to mass "attack" a target, usually a streamer that is actively streaming, with chat spam that typically consists of personal attacks, slurs, and even personal information.

    Plot of Fallout TV Show to Run Adjacent to Events in the Games

    The show will be an original story and won't try to rehash the same events from Fallout 3 or Fallout 4.

    We're starting to get a few new details, slowly but surely, about the upcoming Fallout TV show that Amazon is working on. The latest comes from none other than Todd Howard himself, where he notes that the Fallout TV series will be a new story that takes place at the same time as the events in say Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

    Charlie Day as Luigi Shines in Latest Trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    If there was ever such a stark contrast in casting choices, this would be it.

    On one hand, you still have the terrible choice of Chris Pratt as the voice of Mario. On the other hand you have what is possibly the most perfect pick of Charlie Day as the voice of Luigi. You get a decent amount of both, including the first time hearing Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, more of Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key's Toad, and more all courtesy of the newest trailer for The Super Mario...
