PSA: if you own the crew, consider taking action.
Especially if you live outside of the US!
Maybe raise a stink with your attorney general and/or representative, too. The whole idea that a company can sell licenses for something and then arbitrarily decide they don’t want to do it anymore and revoke all the licenses doesn’t sound legal. And if it is, it doesn’t sound like it should be.
Is their removal of these licenses a measure to somehow prevent people from taking action?
Kinda wish I had the crew so that I could clown on these Mfers
I own the crew, but honestly think it’s a shit game that’s not worth my attention.
It’s not about this particular game.
It’s about setting a precedent for games you do care about.
The games I care about will be preserved no matter how the publishers of them flail about
Not in this case, seeing that progress is stored online.
Who says that the game you care about tomorrow won’t do this next? Why be against an action/not care about something that can only benefit players now and in the long term?
The games I care about all already have backup options. They’re all the kinds of games that attract people like me who will just fix them right away.
The Crew was great in its time. It was basically the bridge between Test Drive Unlimited (superior open world gameplay) and early Forza Horizon (superior driving physics). Later Forza Horizon games simply took all the good gameplay features from both TLU and The Crew and is unmatched in quality now.
The Crew 2 was worse than both its predecessor and the competing Forza Horizon at that time, so if you were talking about that I’d half agree. But it’s still a problematic industry trend worth stopping.
If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing.
The problem is this game can’t even be pirated due to how it’s architected.
Digital “ownership”.
“Ubisoft is determined to take things one step further to stamp out any attempts to continue playing it past its expiry date.”
Lmao, fuck licenses; pirate it, and we’ll make our own servers.
They can’t do shit then
Afaik nobody has cracked it as it’s always-online, though I’d be happily incorrect about this if one can slide me some sauce. I’m one of the affected players in the shutdown (still play occasionally) so the ability to continue playing this game would be very nice.
For anyone who doesn’t think this is a problem, watch this video and join this campaign.
The Crew represent a real chance to change things globally (seriously, watch the video).
release server software and let us self host!!!
they dont even need to foot the cost for anything.
That eats into their profits for their other/new games
Boycott this shit company
Been doing that for years. Will happily continue.
But I’m just one person. Ubisoft won’t feel it unless hundreds of thousands more do the same.
Same
When Nintendo eshop closed, I lost all my purchases. I tried contacting Nintendo to see if they could transfer my purchases to my switch account, but contacting Nintendo is like trying to contact god, you’re gonna get nowhere

Thanks UbiSoft for rubbing it in my face with this message, “You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?”
Urhg that makes me mad to read.
You no longer have access to my money. Why not kiss my ass Ubisoft, to pursue your adventure?
“Your single-payment rental period is suddenly over. Check out our shop where you can single-payment rent another game.”
Fixed it for Ubisoft
As if copies of a game on your computer is somehow more digital than the copy being on a disk or a chip that’s ROM.
