Ubisoft Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over The Crew Shutdown

[Kane99]

Another day, another problem for Ubisoft. This time around they are facing a class action lawsuit over The Crew shutdown. The servers for the game were shutdown back in December of 2023, resulting in the game essentially being useless. By April 2024, players couldn't even play the game. The game doesn't have an offline mode, and it seems fans were hoping for at least that. Two people brought the lawsuit up earlier this month in an attempt to create a class action lawsuit over the fact that gamers were mislead about ownership and licensing. 

Ubisoft did give out refunds to people who recently purchased the game, but those who had the game since release, did not qualify for a refund.

I think it is sad to see games like this not support an offline mode so people can further enjoy it when it's no longer supported. Also, it would have been even cooler if they allowed gamers to open up their own servers for these games, to give more life to this game and others like it. There's a bit community of gamers out there who keep old online games alive, I'm sure they could do the same here. Let the gamers open it up to their own servers.

I'm glad those bums are getting sued. At the rate Ubisoft is going, in the next two to three years, they'll either be filing for bankruptcy or being bought out by someone like Microsoft.
