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.

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 ...

    When The Elder Scrolls Online releases not only will Xbox gamers have to pay the $14.99 (USD) monthly fee for the game, but they'll also have to pay for their Xbox Live Gold subscription. PlayStation and PC gamers will only have to pay the $14.99 monthly fee for the game.

    A Q&A on the PlayStation Blog made it clear that a paid PlayStation Plus subscription is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online on the PlayStation 4.

    At 20 Million Units Skyrim Makes Top 25 Best Selling Games of All Time

    Last week, Bethesda revealed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim sold over 20 million copies since its release.

    This places it at #22 on the list of top selling games of all time, just behind Super Mario World (20.6 million) and ahead of Brain Age (19 million). Time's Tech section sheds a bit more light on how this stacks against the competition.
    None of the Halos are in that list, nor any of the Gears of Wars. Not a single Zelda game’s ever come close, and the top-selling

    DICE Announces February as Player Appreciation Month - Includes Free Unlocks, Battlepacks, and More

    DICE has decided to turn February into Player Appreciation Month for Battlefield 4. Think of it as their way of saying "sorry" for releasing one of the biggest blunders of the modern gaming era.

    So, what does this mean for you, the player? They first open by saying they're still working on the "netcode" for the game that they feel wwill "tighten the overall multiplayer experience" for the game. Details are light on this but hopefully more will be revealed in the next month....

    Over 60 Titan Ships and $155,000 Destroyed in EVE Online Over a Missed Bill Payment

    I'll never understand the appeal of EVE Online. These players spend months and tons of real-world money to build ships in the game, only to go to war and lose it all in an instant. We're talking about real, tangible cash here that these people are losing.

    Such is the case today as the CFC and Russian Coalition took on Pandemic Legion and N3 over a missed bill payment. Seriously.

    Update - Leaked Images Show Off Supposed Source Engine 2 Screenshot and Half-Life 3 Development

    Update: These slides are allegedly from a presentation Valve gave three years ago in 2011. It stands to reason that what we see in these screenshots then are already implemented, at least in part, in the current iterations of the Source Engine. The same Source version that we see at work in games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

    Original: It seems as though there's been yet another leak from Valve over the past day. CBOAT from NeoGAF, got his hands on a presentation that...

    Far Cry 4 is Probably in Development

    This may be the least surprising news we're posting today but it seems as though Far Cry 4 is in development at Ubisoft Shanghai. A recent CV listing on LinkedIn shows that the studio is working on the "next" Far Cry game, which is presumed to be Far Cry 4.

    Hell, maybe it's Blood Dragon 2, which would also be just as nice to see. According to VG247, this isn't the first mention of a new Far Cry game being in development.

    DICE Reveals Plans on Vehicle Balancing Tweaks Coming to Battlefield 4

    After trying for a few hours just to get their blog to load, I finally see now how DICE plans to introduce even more balance to the vehicles in Battlefield 4.
    Aircraft and Anti-Aircraft 1) Reduced the total amount of missiles carried by the Mobile Anti-Aircraft vehicles from 6 to 4. The total carried missiles were making it impossible for helicopters to use counter measures to avoid the MAA’s attacks. 2) Reduced the velocity of the MAA’s default 20MM CANNON from 1200m/s to 8
