Gaming News: French Consumer Group Takes Ubisoft to Court Over ‘The Crew’ Shutdown
This lawsuit centers around a basic question: what does it truly mean to own a video game? Ubisoft argues that players don’t actually own The Crew, but simply have limited access to it – unlike a physical copy of a game. This has angered many gamers who feel misled, seeing their digital purchases as experiences that can be taken away. One Reddit user shared, “I fondly remember playing The Crew with friends for years. It’s shocking they can just shut it down and claim we never owned it.” This perfectly captures the frustration many players feel – if a game can disappear at any time, it doesn’t feel like you truly own it.
