GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

AI is starting to cause real, tangible issues in the gaming industry now. On top of just making everything much more expensive, from RAM to SSDs to entire consoles and machines, it is now actively sabotaging online multiplayer titles by taking over crucial server infrastructure to use it, you've guessed it, for training and providing models to salivating corporations. This is exactly what happened to StarCraft's spiritual successor Stormgate , a free-to-play RTS made by the former's, well, former developers. As Delisted Games writes , Hathora, Frost Giant Studios' server provider, has been purchased by what developers only describe as an "AI company" that will be putting its servers out of reach for gaming. The devs wrote on their Discord that Hathora's new owners are "winding down their service at the end of April," which will render Stormgate temporarily offline. Frost Giant Studios has a contingency plan of sorts, as it will make the gam...

It appears that the Stop Killing Games initiative is finally causing real consequences for major video game publishers, as Ubisoft, the company that first caused this whole ordeal, is now facing a lawsuit from a consumer advocacy group over its shutdown of The Crew . As per Ross Scott, also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube, French consumer advocacy group UFC-Que Choisir is seeking legal action against Ubisoft, also based in France, due to its removal of access to The Crew on March 31, 2024. "UFC-Que Choisir believes that by brutally depriving players of all access to  The Crew , Ubisoft has violated essential consumer rights," the group said on its website (in a quote machine-translated from the original French). "It is unacceptable that Ubisoft considers, in its general conditions, that players only acquire a simple 'user license' for the game, which would then be revocable at any time by the publisher. The legality of all clauses limiting players' ...

Games of chance are, by their very nature, addictive. Just like you keep scrolling on your phone day in and day out, expecting something exciting to come up after a dozen AI-generated slop clips, gambling drives you to repeatedly engage with it in anticipation of that one big win. When combined with roguelike mechanics, which are also based on chance, randomization, and expectations, the result is rather interesting, as we've seen time and again with games like Balatro and Clover Pit . You never know what your next slot pull will bring or which jokers the store will contain. Every match is different, every pull another stroke of luck, and that's enough for your brain to start firing neurons left and right to encourage you to give it another go. So many things happen on the screen that it's impossible to look away.

Ever since June 2025, and especially after last September, RAM prices have soared and reached levels no one could have anticipated. Following the GPU crisis of 2020, as well as subsequent supply line issues caused by COVID, we thought we were in the clear, but then a new technology decided it wanted all the resources for itself. But now, the tide might be turning as AI-obsessed memory producers have been experiencing stock dumps that have already started to affect RAM prices positively. Following OpenAI's woes with securing funding for some of its projects after Disney backed out of funding Sora, which was then shuttered ( thanks Yahoo Finance ), concern grew over whether the company would even need, or have the means to, secure as much memory stock as it previously ate up. Sam Altman's venture has been the driving force behind AI development and was the biggest customer for undiced wafers, but is now losing ground to competitors like Anthropic, potentially impacting its ne...
