Yep...they did it

[LeafyRiot05]

They are now revoking Steam copies now....

[One death guy]

support GOG - buy on GOG as much as you can

this is here is proof of why supporting GOG is important if you want to support preservation of games

Me too, and the Crew isn't the only reason. It's just their overall willing to cut costs and stop supporting/patching their games as soon as possible. Like they just don't care about their own reputation and the fact that games on PC tend to live and generate revenue much, much longer.

And yes, they should absolutely refund everybody who bought this. This appears to be the only industry where this abhorrent practice is acceptable (amongst many MANY others.)

It's absolutely horrible, now all those web browser based launchers (including Steam) stopped officially supporting Win 7, but they're still selling XP, Vista, Win 7 compatible games you kind of sort of can't officially download, install and launch on those OS's anymore.

If you own a physical copy of the operating system, it can be installed. If you don't own a physical copy, it's fairly easy to find a legit one to buy. Virtual machines exist - you can pretty much run Windows XP/Vista/7/8 on a semi-decent Windows 10/11 PC. GOG exists, having lots of these old games patched up to use on modern systems. Sigh... Mods exist - excellent modding communities which have patched up games to not only run on modern systems, but private servers.

Now, tell me again what your argument has to do with Ubisoft robbing their customers, 'cos if you think this will stop with The Crew, you're sorely mistaken.

mind you I have the game on Steam

Mine was on Steam, launching just takes you to the Ubisoft Connect client, and asks you for an activation code, so unfortunately fella, you don't...

Mine was in ubisoft connect.

"You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?"
Yeah how about i give you this one instead?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the audacity of those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. At least when you take action at

you can screenshot their reply as them ignoring you. Only hurts them more

[AntiGrieferGames]

Never buying always online games.

[Betty the Bat]

Same here as well. They took the game from my libary on Ubisoft connect.

I think EU parliment elections are coming soon - use this occassion and talk with those people who are candidates about this issue if they would raise it in EU parlament sessions or can do sth to regulate this

[FantasticMrFox]

Weird, I just checked my Cinemaware Anthology, and it's been removed for purchase from the store, but I can still download and play it. Forza Horizon 3 is 8 years old, and again despite not being able to buy it (digitally, at least) you can still download it if you own it, the servers are up and running and multiplayer still works fine.

Not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard, is it Ubisoft!!

ubisoft is the first and only company to do this type of crap to the gamers they really despise their customers just like nintendo but at least nintendo still lets us download the purchased games even if they got delisted from their storefront while ubisoft is doing something much worse than nintendo but i still despise both companies with a passion

[Mathroy]

What the ♥♥♥♥. I wish companies who did this and didn't provide an Offline Singleplayer or Peer-2-Peer would just get sued and that this trend would finally end.

♥♥♥♥ you Ubisoft.

[D1RTY F1GHTER]

They think people are going to "check out the store to persue their adventures" after getting ripped off once, go spend more money on another abandonedware game that they cant include offline options for... lmao this is the world we live in. time to boycott.

Hopefully the community can save this game by modding in server workarounds but we will never waste another penny with bullysoft. This is not how you treat your clients, the least they could have done before shutting down online support on an online only game, is to add offline patches.

The reason that they wont do that... They think were stupid enough to believe we need to keep paying for new and more restrictive games, That have built in micro-transactions to feed the beast they are... stay away, far away from these corperations. i hope they fail miserably going forward after pulling a stunt like this!

I mentioned another example of an abhorrent practice within this industry many people accepted.

I've just re-read your post and yes, you're correct - I obviously completely misread it.

Apologies.
