"You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?"

#Ubisoft revoked The Crew from people's libraries two weeks after the shutdown. Instead of trying to make people feel less angry, the French publisher decided to dig its own grave.

They moved it from the library and even if you find it in the discontinued games tab, it will now suggest you too... BUY SOMETHING ELSE 🤡

I'm sure it will hit them hard and any court in the EU will stand on the consumers side in the upcoming case.

Why bother to revoke it like that? Because fans were able to build their own server based on what they learned from the original server when the game was still available. And they were able to launch the game without Ubisoft.

You may ask: who the heck are The Forge? Well, they are a small company that can improve game engines for hire. And they have own rendering framework on GitHub!

Legendary #Unity blogger is back after a three year break... to make videos about #GodotEngine!

Mods can extend the game for ages, there are several big ones coming to Fallout 4 this year, Last Stand (Chapter 3) and London are probably the most impressive:

Microsoft really started to delete screenshots and videos from #XBox after 90 days. This sounds like a joke! Is there a contest for the most impressive alienation of own users?

The original Industria is #Free on Epic Games Store! It's a game fully developed with Blueprints instead of C++ code which allowed a tiny team to build the whole thing.

And finally #Unity 6 reached PREVIEW stage (which means, you can try it out and expect it will not crash every minute or so).

Meanwhile, on social media posts people are asking if fixed Occlusion Culling, better water systems, and some other smaller features are such a big change, compared to development speed of #UnrealEngine and #Godot4.

Take-Two is shutting down Roll7 (OlliOlli World, Rollerdrome) and Intercept Games (Kerbal Space Program 2).

Two indie Dutch studios are also announced that they are shutting down — KeokeN Interactive (Deliver us the Moon) & Paladin Studios (Cut The Rope Remastered, Strombound, etc).

It seems that KeokeN is trying to stay alive by keeping a small team and look for funding. Their GDC investment tour failed this year but there are a couple of people left who will try to do something for some more months.
