Ubisoft Hit With Lawsuit for Shutting Down The Crew - IGN Daily Fix

Ubisoft Faces Lawsuit Over The Crew Shutdown – IGN Daily Fix

In recent news, Ubisoft is facing a class action lawsuit from two Californian gamers due to the shutdown of their 2014 open-world racing game, The Crew. The game originally required an internet connection to play, and with Ubisoft discontinuing support, even physical copies are now rendered useless. The lawsuit argues that the physical copies purchased by the gamers should entitle them to the game itself, not just a license, as is common with digital copies.

Legal Battle Over Ownership

The lawsuit sparks an interesting debate on ownership rights concerning physical copies of games. With laws evolving to require transparency from retailers about the nature of media purchases, this case could have significant implications for the gaming industry moving forward.
