Ironhammers: This week I’m joined once again by our good buddy, ‘Hardlydan’, to discuss the latest in PC gaming — which includes Razer’s strange shenanigans with the ‘PC Gaming Is Not Dead’ stuff, Ubisoft’s decision to backtrack on their DRM in From Dust and Dan’s getting a little bit concerned for the future of BioWare. We also discuss what we’ve been playing this week, with goodies such as Age of Empires Online and the Driver: San Francisco demo being spoke of before finishing up the show with our ‘question of the week’, as always.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
