You could have paid $25 for The Crew from Ubisoft on December 13th and then find out on December 14th that the game will stop working on March 31st (3 months later).
That's crazy. Even more crazy is this is the first time I've heard of it. It's a serious attack on consumer rights.
Tbf: What else does one expect when buying a Ubisoft Game?
Ubisoft has been the absolute peak asshole game company for over 15 years now.
We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection and a couple of years later the publisher decided they're done with it and shut it down leaving you with a broken game.
I actually haven't been there, because I correctly never bought a single player game that requires an internet connection.
i absolutely support the idea of banning internet connectivity for single player games though.
Now that you say it like that, why do purely singleplayer games need internet connectivity at all beside DRM and shovong DLCs down peoples throats
$$$$$
Trying to have this examined legislative branches is overdue. I like this movement.
