Many players complain, rightly so, that when they buy digitally they feel helpless because not only do they not purchase an item, but it remains active depending on what the publisher decides at any given time given. And something like this, quite ugly, happened with Ubisoft, The crew and the libraries of certain users in French society.
As we tell you, it is enough to deactivate digital games, remove them from a store and companies block their download so that all the money we have spent is lost overboard. There are examples of this everywhere, like the Apple App Store and games that are no longer supported, disappearing from our library and no one cares about the money we may have spent on them.
The Crew and Ubisoft hit their users
The fact is that in the last few hours some players have complained that The crew has disappeared from their libraries and they can no longer access it. And we’re not just talking about those who have Ubisoft+where games can come and go according to the whims of the French, or even the players that at the time they bought it, paying whatever the amount, like a rabid novelty on the market.
The explanation could be that Ubisoft announced that in April this year the servers of The crew They would be disconnected, so many understood that it would be the online functions that would no longer be active… no one ever imagined that this outage would affect the entire game. As much as The crew 2 is on the market and car festival Also.
It’s one thing for one game to follow another by assimilating much of its content to create a different but continuing product, and quite another to do so after launching a second and third game (car festival) the original development is completely removed from user libraries. But that’s how it is… even if you still have a steering wheel at home to play with.
Will Ubisoft bring the game back?
As of now, the company hasn’t said anything about it – beyond the statement from months ago – and the The crew They still don’t appear in libraries, so we’ll have to wait and see what the French say about them. We have already told you that one thing is a user subscribed to Ubisoft+ and another is the one who paid 60 or 70 dollars when the game was released in stores, that is to say in September 2014.
Ubisofton their page, clearly explains that “those who own the game of The crew 1 They can continue playing until March 31, 2024. After this date, the servers will be closed and the game will no longer be accessible on any platform, although those who recently purchased the game will be able to receive a refund. Otherwise, you are automatically excluded from this returns program.
Finally, they try to explain what happened by saying that “removing a game from the service, especially our first title, is not something we take lightly.” The decision was made so that the efforts of our teams focus on the best possible experience in The crew 2 Yes The Motorfest Crew“.
And the players’ money… what difference does it make, right?
