Ubisoft has released many games that require constant Internet access the past decade and then just shutting off the servers making the game completely unplayable. This just happened to The Crew last month. This will happen to:
And more…
Pirating doesn’t solve the game being completely unplayable when UbiSoft decides to shut down the servers.
The Crew could be played all the way through as a single player game. It made no sense for a constant Internet connection. The Crew’s credit screen for the final version of the game lasts over 45 minutes. Thousands of employees across the entire world worked on that game and now it is just gone with only gameplay videos being the only record of existence.
Pirating doesn't solve it, but It fixes the problem at hand for now. The next thing would be sth. Like the internet archive to legally archive it when ubisoft decides to delete it from their servers.
