Ubisoft to Discontinue Online Services for Multiple Older Games

Ubisoft has announced that it will be shutting down online services for 10 of its "older games" on January 25, 2024. This includes four Assassin's Creed titles, as well as games from the Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and Trials series. Players will no longer be able to access multiplayer, link Ubisoft accounts, or use online features. The decision is due to the obsolete technology that drove these services.

"The New York Times Pulls the Plug on Math Puzzle Game"

The New York Times is shutting down its math-based puzzle game, Digits, which was launched in beta in April. Despite positive engagement and audience feedback, the game did not gain enough traction to become a permanent addition to the NYT Games lineup. The company is now focusing on growing the audience and engagement of its other games and plans to test more games in beta soon. The closure of Digits is part of the NYT's normal evaluation process, as they continue to experiment and refine their game offerings.

Spotify to Shut Down Music Guessing Game 'Heardle'

Spotify is shutting down Heardle, the song-guessing game it acquired last summer, on May 5th. The game was seen as a music discovery tool, but its popularity had already tapered off before the acquisition. Some players were frustrated with the game's repetitive song choices, and Spotify reportedly didn't have a dedicated team working on Heardle. The closure won't result in any layoffs, and players are advised to take a screenshot of their stats before May 4th.
