Another way of Buying something and not owning it.
Omfg can companies stop shutting down servers
Another reason why always online or live service games suck
Sometimes I shit so hard I cry
[*WE MUST DO AS OUR BROTHERS WITH HALO HAVE DONE.
# KEEP THE SERVERS ALIVE!]
If buying isn’t owning…
In any way, we need back dedicated private servers that can be set up for games. This way, everyone can host a server and games can be played even decades later. Like with the old titles like Unreal Tournament ’99 or Quake 3 Arena, you can join servers directly by entering the IP address. So you can just set up one or google for some IP’s when the main server list is offline.
Is there not even a singleplayer patch where the singleplayer content is accessible offline?
Polyphony Digital at least has the common sense to give GT Sport an offline patch such that all the singleplayer content is still available after the servers are closed. Guess Ubi is too lazy or doesn’t care enough to even do something as simple as that.
Pirate all ubishit
my first and last pre-order bought game. my excuse, then were nfsw servers down
So I get my money back then, right? I mean. I bought the game. I paid for it. If Ubisoft are taking it away, I get a refund, right?
I got my fun out of The Crew, it was a breath of fresh air when it came out and Ubisoft convinced me not to buy any of their games again after The Crew 2 released.
Glad I never payed 1 cent for this game
God forbid we patch the game so that it could work offline
This reminds me of Deathgarden. I REALLY liked that game.
Yeah I remember I was worried they’ll shut it down so I didn’t even consider buying it. Unfortunately it do be like that
BUt bUt wHO cAREs If it’S OnLiNe oNlY iT’s 2024
I Was really hyped for this game when it came out.
​
I couldn’t afford it.
​
by time I could, everyone of my friends who played had stopped.
Looks like I’m trading in my copy 😆

If you did buy The Crew, consider giving this video a watch. We can use this loss as a means to rein in the games-as-a-service model.
I’ve seen people still selling the physical xbox game on ebay.
Ubisoft is just the new EA. You oughta know going in that they will try and fuck you in some fashion
Ubisoft support went out the window with the job layoffs. You can just go into their discord and see how many people need help and how nobody responds to them. You can look at their Reddit and see what else of a cluster mess their service and support is.
All of their games crash on everyone’s computer, even the new games, because they can’t code them correctly to not crash at debugging breakpoints.
Their level of negligence is so high right now, I don’t know how they are still doing business. Stop giving them your money.
The crew was such a cool game. My next car im going to get will most likely be a new mx5 and hopefully a bmw z4 and thats the two main cars i drove around in free roam in that game. Of course i used much faster cars for racing. The crew 2 was more of the same and i was totally happy with it. Motorfest was good but because i beat the first two games, i already had like 40 good cars unlocked so it wasnt a challenge until the final race in the game that is like 20 miles long or whatever. Suddenly the ai had rocket cars tjat the lambo vant even catch up to. Never beat it and i wont be getting a new crew game till its very cheap. Ill stick with need for speed and gran turismo. Still unhappy that i vant reset gran turismo progress. Id love to play through it again from the beginning.
I fully believe not making a solo mode that is offline should be illegal like full on the us government says no you cant do that illegal
I like many of Ubisoft’s games and franchises; but, I don’t like them much as a company.
Ubisoft published a real nice “Assassin’s Creed” game for Android back in the day. It was called “AC: Identity”. It had two single player stories, one a DLC which I paid for on top of the base game, and a series of random mini missions that would cycle through. I don’t remember if it had any multiplayer at all. I don’t think it did. Anyways, it had a mandatory online license check that would trigger each time you started the game. The game itself was locally installed and could be played offline afterwards. A couple of years ago Ubisoft pulled the server that the game pinged for said license check without patching the game to work without phoning home, so now all you can play is the tutorial. Every so often I’ll browse for a patched APK, but a legit one doesn’t seem to exist.
Now they’re doing the same thing to ‘The Crew’. It’s a shame.
I will not forgive, I will not forget.
Many of these AAA companies are never getting my business again.
They’re all losing their moral compass and I’m not going to be there if they find it again.
Buh-bye fuckers.
