As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but notice the words coming from Ubisoft’s legal team. While I get that their job is to protect their clients, these statements aren’t doing much to improve Ubisoft’s tarnished reputation.
As a devoted fan, I’m closely following the ongoing legal battle our beloved gaming company is engaged in, concerning “The Crew” – a game we all know was unexpectedly shut down last year, leaving us with seemingly valueless purchased copies of this iconic racer.
Since the title needed to be connected to the publisher’s servers to work properly, all the leftover physical copies are now just pricey drink holders. And if you bought it digitally, its value plummets further because it’s useless as a coaster for your coffee.
However, two diligent players are planning to take legal action against the company due to their decision, and they must demonstrate that Ubisoft deceived them by selling a time-limited gaming experience instead of one that is everlasting.
In response, Ubisoft’s legal team asserts that there is no basis for gamers to assume they are acquiring unrestricted property rights within the game.
It’s likely that there are terms and conditions somewhere in the software that cover this, but from a common sense perspective, we believe that most games should function to some degree even after their servers have been shut down – especially one like The Crew which did include a single-player campaign.
Essentially, the development team behind The Crew series seems to be taking steps to address an issue they’ve faced in the past. They’ve pledged to ensure that both The Crew 2 and The Crew: Motorfest can be played without an internet connection.
The defendants have countered Ubisoft’s claim by providing images of the game’s packaging that highlight the non-expiring activation codes, suggesting that the game should have been playable “for an extended period, potentially even until 2099”.
Ubisoft now has until the end of the month to respond.
