Promising things to your audience and not fulfilling them has a small drawback: the audience, instead of understanding you and returning smiles, gets angry. If you promise that your game will never have microtransactions and introduce them the following year, if you swear that the DLCs will be free and proceed to schedule a paid one… Or if you assure that it will always work online and proceed to shut it down as soon as it goes a little wrong.<\/strong> This is what happened to Ubisoft… and it faces a trial where it doesn’t have it easy.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Crew, forever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Ubisoft released The Crew, an open-world game that required you to always be connected to play, featuring a campaign, multiplayer mode, and a devoted community whose following led to two sequels. However, in April 2024, without consulting the players, they decided to shut down the servers permanently. In other words: no matter if you have it on a disc, you will never be able to play because you were required to be connected<\/strong> to the Internet to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, Matthew Cassell and Alan Liu, two people angry with the company, have decided to file a lawsuit as it should be, under the idea that Ubisoft has broken its promise to consumers by telling them they were buying a game when, in reality, they were renting a limited license<\/strong>. It should be noted that without the servers being active, you can’t even play the single-player part, because Ubisoft has decided not to make it available offline, something that, according to them, is “rubbing salt in the wound.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
