Ubisoft’s Online Game The Crew Gets Pulled from People’s Libraries
After the shutdown of the servers for Ubisoft’s racing game The Crew on April 1st, the company has now begun removing it from people’s digital game libraries. This decision has left many gamers frustrated as they are unable to access a game they have previously purchased.
The online-only experience of The Crew has caused a stir among players, raising questions about the future of online-only games. With the game no longer functioning without servers, Ubisoft has taken the controversial step of purging it from players’ Ubisoft Connect accounts.
While some may argue that online-only games provide a more immersive and interactive experience, others are concerned about the implications of not being able to access games they have paid for. The removal of The Crew from players’ libraries serves as a stark reminder of the challenges presented by the digital future of gaming.
For those who are still fans of The Crew series, there are still alternatives such as The Crew 2 and the latest addition, The Crew Motorfest, to enjoy. However, the removal of The Crew from players’ accounts raises important questions about the accessibility and longevity of online-only games.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, the debate over online-only games and their impact on players is likely to persist. What are your thoughts on games that are online-only and not playable offline in single player mode? Share your opinions and join the conversation on the future of gaming.
