Ubisoft revoking licenses for The Crew, preventing owners who paid for the game from installing it.

    This is almost certainly a direct attack against the stopkillingames movement, they are probably trying to make it harder for people to come up with an offline patch. I checked my Ubisoft account and sure enough “You no longer have access to this title”

    Reminder this the company that said: “players should get comfortable with not owning our games.”

    This is what they meant. That eventually, every game you buy, will be shut down and forcefully ripped from your hands. Think about that when you buy the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws singleplayer game that requires a constant internet connection.

    This shit can’t be legal, can it? Ubisoft better see some lawsuits coming their way, or this sets such a dangerous precedent for the future.

    Awww maan! I just upgared my pentium toaster few weeks ago to play all the AAA titles that I wanted to ever and Cew was one that I was looking forward for the most. :pepesad:

  4. I love the “Why not check the store to pursue your adventures?”, basically saying “We took this away from you, so can you buy more of our always online shit instead to play?”

    I think that will only boost piracy, think about it, you a buying a game, and they do not only deactivate the servers, no, they even deactivate to possible download it to play it offline, this reminds me of EA with Anthem, the game was a disaster in performance and it was not a good game, but I paid for it and I would like to try it again (with a new powerful pc), but the servers are offline and there is the need to have a connection. Constant internet connection should not be a thing, I think even every pvp game should has a PvE mode in it so that should the servers go offline you still can play „singleplayer“

    I have made a copy of the game beforehand, hoping someone figures out how to start it without UPlay at some point

    Don’t get angry, just remember the name “Ubisoft” when you buy your next game.

    Rememeber EA.

    Remember Bioware.

    Remember Blizzard.

    Remember them all.

    What happens to disc version? I have the original disc for ps4, will need to check out.

  10. 🙁 I think I have an unopened box

    welp, good to know that a game can turn utterly worthless vaporware (not simply just abandonware)

    That note is so annoying, it basically just reads

    “We took this game away from you, why not buy more games and we totally won’t do it again”

    Anyone who wants to be “this is a multiplayer game” it was sold with single player listed when it was being sold and had a campaign with single player.

    I encourage people to look up Ross’s Game Dungeon on youtube and help stop this nonsense.

  12. my secret way of life, never buy Ubisoft game

    Never changing my The Crew wallpaper on my Xbox 360. Shame games gone now (hopefully not forever)

    Now anyone like to support Piracy??

  15. LilMiruku

    don’t buy games from big companies when you can pirate

  16. I mean you don‘t buy the game so it‘s legal.
    Does it still suck a lot? Fuck yes
