The shutdown of open-world racing game The Crew continues to cause Ubisoft problems
I'm interested to see where this goes, but it's a class action lawsuit. Most of the times these are just a law firm looking for money. I'd assume Ubisoft will negotiate a settlement where the lawfirm gets $1 million and anyone who bought The Crew will get a $5 credit towards another Ubisoft game.
As long as it hurts Ubisoft enough that next time they make an offline patch before pulling the plug on a game.
If games had to maintain their servers you'd see a lot less of this cash grab garbage. Good on them for taking the time to do this
