The company says an ongoing lawsuit concerning The Crew shutdown is based on a 'faulty assumption' of video game ownership.

    Guess I’ll never own AC shadows or any game of theirs. If I must, I’ll treat their games as rentals. And I never pay over 20 for a rental.

      I’m sure they’ll be just fine if we “get” their games for free, they need to get used to not owning my money. Regardless, buying every new Ubisoft game is kinda pointless. I try one every 3-4 years, not much changes in a year.

        Prince of Persia, the lost crown was fantastic. Honestly the only ubi game I’ve considered paying for since the early 2010s

    It’s been like this forever. You have a “license to play the game” same as the movies you buy are a license to play the content in a private setting

      If a movie rescinds the license to play then you get your money back.

      Like when Amazon pulled to license for people who purchased 1984.

        They dont follow this policy anymore. The T&C clearly state that you dont own the digital media and are not entitled to access it.

      It should be forbidden to even refer to it as buying (I think some places already have laws for that), and they should also be forced to put a big disclaimer every time stating the game might become unavailable at any moment if it has things like DRM or core online functions.

      Join our discord

      It’s so weird to fight for digital ownership of one thing and then put all the organizing work and discussion into another closed corporate ecosystem that could shut down or charge per head at any time

        Create a /c comm and email Ross to let him know it exists. I’m sure he’d be amenable

          Adding the link to the website might be a non issue.

          Getting people to join a fediverse thing might be even harder than getting them to sign.

    If that’s so, why should “”“buy”“” it? Or any other, for that matter?
