Yes, this is why you never pay for always online.

"There will be no offline mode?" oh crap and I was thinking of getting back into this game,

I bought it 7 years ago using my father's credit's card, but it doesn't matter. However the DLCs were bought by me.

Game always had offline mode, it's hidden from us, all ubisoft have to do is literally flip a switch and we can keep playing the game forever. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3113885891

I like how Ubisoft pretty much said get TC2 and MF but....those games are festival racers while TC1 is a dark illegal street racing game like come on guys...

What you expect. Its Ubisoft. They will the plug on everything.
I think Within a few years The Division is the next game in line to be shut-down.

Two things, to note here.
By actual law, this is illegal but never actually been challenged in court appropriately so companies will continue to do this. Shutting down service to the servers isn't illegal, but basically not giving the tooling for the community to be able to launch their own servers OR giving us single player access offline access is the illegal part. This is basically a company breaking into your house and breaking something they sold to you.
Also, this is why we need to never buy any online access games from any company.

tldr; illegal and customer hostile.

Everyone should boycott the new Crew game. Let it sit on the shelves while we re-create multiplayer for this

It's complete trash so that does make it easier as well.

Thats right.

When everyone buying always online games like The Crew, The Crew 2 and The Crew (the newest game, forget name) and Helldivers 2, it will be anyway taken away at later time!

Even "Mobile Exclusive" Premium Games like Ex Astris will taken away at later time!

Thats why DRMs are always a joke!

When Steam shutting down at certain time, you cannot use the Games, that having Steam-DRM!

So, Dont buy DRM Games!
