Ubisoft's The Crew Is No Longer Playable - Luke Reacts

If buying a game doesn't equal ownership... Pirating games doesn't equal stealing.

That just teaches me to pirate all Ubisoft games. If I can’t own your game, you can’t own my money.

Companies who wants to cancel ownership needs to stop getting support from the customers.

This is like buying a book and someone from the publishing company knocks at your door ten years later to tell you you can't keep it anymore and it has to be burned. Literally insane...meanwhile Polyphony updated GT Sport so that it can be played offline even if the servers are gone.

This is exactly why I never bought an “always online” game and only bought digital games if they are retro or at a very deep sale price. SUPPORT PHYSICAL MEDIA!

As someone who bought the Ultimate Edition of this game, it is absolutely disgusting that a game that I bought with money doesn't work because it can't connect to a server despite all of the content of the game being stored on a disc.

Imagine if Gta V, Skyrim, or Elden Ring just was suddenly removed from all video game stores, and all online/dlc functionality was revoked. That can basically still happen today. It's super scummy, and Ubisoft should be punished for this.

The people defending Ubisoft and insulting people that care about this are something else.

Same company who told everyone to get comfortable not owning games anymore.

Ross Scott (Accursed Farms) released a campaing on multiple countries to try stop this shit from happening using the Crew as Exhibit A. You should go and watch his video on this and support as much as you can. This shit has to stop, even if you don't care about the crew, better to do something now than when your favorite game is at the chopping block.

This is illegal in Australia. It goes against our consumer laws, so you could take them to court over this and set legal presidents.

None of these license agreements would withstand a legal challenge! You pay for and, “buy,” your game, and THEN you are forced to, “agree,” to the company’s license agreement, AFTER you paid already, but BEFORE they let you download or play the game! “The Right To Own,” should be the name of the campaign. And EVERY game should WORK independently, regardless of the company! The companies should, at the very least, be forced to STOP even calling them, “purchases.” If they are, “Renting,” games to us, they should have to call it that, and ALL of the TOS should be available BEFORE money changes hands. THEN let the market decide!

Imagine a car you bought, would refuse to power on because it was launched 10 years ago.

this really has nothing to do w/ Digital vs Physical. for instance when Destiny shuts down its servers eventually you wont be able to play if you own physical or not.

The difference between The Crew 1 to the rest of them is the illegal street racing aspect. I enjoy being chased around by cops in a Lamborghini and the only new racing games that allow that is NFS Unbound

This is exactly why I never play or spend money on live service games, and when it comes to any other digital game I buy them off CD Key sites for practically nothing. If these companies expect me to pay anywhere near full price let alone full price then give a guarantee I will own it forever, if not then you don't even get pennies from me.

What we need all gamers to do is to shake the gaming companies a bit. They treat us like druggies, they think thst no matter what they do, gamers will still go back to them for more. Stop pre ordering games unless they short out the pricing and the game's ownership issue. These things should be regulated full stop.

delisting and revoking a license is way different than putting out an offline patch

I'm honestly done with Ubisoft

"you get nothing, you lose, good day sir"
