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...

    Steam No Longer Supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

    If you haven't moved on, it's long past time you did.

    Microsoft stopped officially supporting Windows 7 for regular users in 2020 and Windows 8.1 support ended in 2023. At best, you've had a year to update to a newer version of Windows. At worst, you've had four years. You should have moved to Windows 10 or Windows 11 by now if you are online at all with those operating systems. Years of no security updates is bad enough, but this week it just got worse.

    Epic's Tim Sweeney Open to Bringing Fortnite to Steam, But Only if Valve Ditches 30% Cut

    Like a broken record.

    Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney recently mentioned on Twitter that he's open to bringing Fortnite to Steam, the Microsoft Store, and other platforms. Of course, there's a catch to that. Sweeney says that he would only be open to bringing Fortnite to these other platforms if the platform holders got rid "of these ridiculous 30% fees."

    To preface this a bit, Valve does take a 30% cut of sales made through Steam but only up to a point. Once certain...

    Steam Deck Sniffers Told to Stop by Valve

    Probably done by the same people that tried to eat Tide Pods.

    If you're someone that's sniffing the vents of your Steam Deck then I need say a couple of things: First off, what the hell is wrong with you? Secondly, Valve says you should probably not do that.

    Apparently there's some joke or meme about sniffing the exhaust vents of your Steam Deck. Huh?... What? I don't know what this is all about. Maybe it's some dumb zoomer thing like eating Tide Pods, licking Switch...
