Ubisoft has gone one step further to try and stop people getting into The Crew.

          Oh yikes. That sucks. I mean, I don’t mind the internet connection. I always have one. But the season pass is not a good omen, unless it is just for the DLC when it comes out, like how games were 10 years ago. But I feel like it hasn’t meant that in a long time. Also, Ubisoft doesn’t have a good track record.

            I think the internet requirement super sucks because those servers go down eventually. It’s likely to be a big problem on launch day as well. The more expensive editions come with an exclusive mission so that probably sets the tone for the season pass too. We will have no wait and see.

        Live service and single player is not incompatible… Unfortunately…

        Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.

        Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money… What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.

    So people bought the game and they’re still taking it away? Glad I pirate games nowadays. Screw then for fucking over their customers.

    If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.

    Say no to buying online games. Exceptions are f2p with it being free anyways. But, sucks to “buy” a game charging full retail and have it become not only unplayable but removed.

    Most ironic thing about this is apparently game can still be downloaded for people who bought it through steam. So Ubisoft consumers are getting shafted hard.

    I’m sure I said this for other companies already but I am going to buy their games even less now and that was zero titles in the past decade or two

    AC black flag was the last Ubisoft game I bought. After that I just lost interest in the company. Everything was yearly release garbage and cash grabs. I’m sorry but I don’t feel bad for people that support them or Activision. Bethesda is also on the line. Buy indie games and support small companies.
