Comment on Ubisoft sued for shutting down The Crew

Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.
Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.

I would imagine it would reveal how sh*tty the ubisoft code bases are and has a reputation cost XD. But if it’s that big of a risk then they should keep the servers running indefinitely.

I mean, they don’t have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.
