  Many people are not informed for how this stuff works. They see an open world racing game they can play with friends and don’t understand what’s needed to make that happen.

  Let’s not focus on the consumer, but rather the poor business practices of large companies as we need to unite for those to change.

    That’s definitely the right way forward but I’m to jaded. People who brought the crew don’t care about this stuff and stopped playing many years ago and I’d be surprised if it still has 0.1% of the player base wanting to play. To me fighting to preserve the crew is like complaining about a happy meal toy breaking.

    I think legislators are to old and unfamiliar with the gaming world to know how bad the situation is. They can barely understand right to repair and that’s a simple concept that their generation should understand.

      With that attitude unfortunately change will never happen. Sure, it sounds like a lost cause but again, nothing ever changes in any facet of life with that mentality.

        Funny you should say that. It’s usually my line when I tell people to not buy games from companies like that. We’ve been telling people these things would happen at some point back when steam was starting up.

  Can we keep in mind that back when The Crew launched, Ubisoft hadn’t quite established themselves as abysmal-tier company they are now.

  I have almost no interest in any Ubisoft games at this point… I just have Child of Light and The New Prince of Persia games on my radar… Maybe I should just 🦜
