Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be an update to the campaign holding Ubisoft to task for shutting down and providing no recourse to games purchased from them. Instead of doing the right thing and providing offline services, they've decided to revoke access to their games without so much as providing any form of refund or compensation. Thanks for watching!

Its an online only game. If they didn't remove it from your library they would just have an embarrassing dead game in everyone's library.

The fact that a company can take away a product you paid for is ridiculous. Literal theft. Edit: Yes, many and I know that their ToS makes it legal, but that doesn't mean the ToS itself isn't criminal or how they frame purchases to mask the fact that it's only a license and not a product.

@NicholasBrakespear
@NicholasBrakespear 5 месяцев назад
Yes, I'm fine with the notion that you're buying a license to use the software... but in the past, that license to use the software gave you the right to (for example) demand a replacement disc if yours was damaged/destroyed, straight from the publisher - the license entitled you to KEEP USING the software. If current licenses are allowing publishers to revoke access whenever they want, the law should force them to say this very plainly when buying or installing the product.

I can't understand how some people aren't pissed and are genuinely ok with the fact that we don't own digital media anymore. They'd rather put up with whatever bs a soulless corporation throws at them than to actively fight for their rights as a consumer. So submissive. The only reason why lots of people now know we don't own digital media anymore is either through the spreading of awareness or people have learnt the hard way by having their library revoked (which leads to even more spreading of awareness). Corporations act like scammers. If they were not legally obliged to state in their TOS that consumers are paying for a license and not a copy they have ownership of, they would 100% refuse to make that important information clear to the consumer. Even when being forced to state such info, they still make it as incomprehensible as possible while still being passable.

If you "Purchase" something and have the access revoked, you should get a full inflation adjusted refund no questions asked. Also make it illegal to use "Sale" and "Purchase" to describe "Rental" and "Subscription". If they are renting it to us, it should tell us on the box/download page, not on the EULA. I'm sure that would start to change the behaviour of these greedy corporations.

@@colindols4112 Ah, so coercion to sign and agree to anything they wish if you want to play the game is fine though? As if that in and of itself isn't another clear problem. I'm still going to one up you though boss, when you give them money for these games it uses the word *"PURCHASE,"* not rent, not borrow, not lease, but purchase. So any mumbo jumbo they want to put in anything after that fact has to be under the terms of the product already being purchased, thus owned by the customer. Otherwise it is a lawsuit waiting to happen, false advertising at the least.

It's also not about just "having the option in the future". It's also about stopping the floodgates from opening. If companies start doing this little by little like this case with the Crew and no one from the community resists, companies will start doing it as the norm in the future. Ceo's would go "hey we did this illegal thing and no one resisted, we can do it again and you can do it as well"

Yes, especially because blocking old games will incentivise players to buy new ones. They don't want you to put 100+ hours in a game, they want like maybe 25 and then you buy a new release.

I played The Crew this year. There were people playing it right up to the server shut down and upto 24 hours after. I hate seeing people saying "you didn't play the game in whatever years" or "nobody plays" the game. Not true. And it was a better game than The Crew 2 imo so I never bought it. If they gave it to me free as compensation I might play it, but it still wouldn't be as good. The game being an MMO is a trick they're using to take it away. A 10 year long plan coming to fruition. It's DRM they can revoke your access to. Once connected, if you lost your internet, you could still play the game! You didn't need servers to play the game!

In fact, he's doing a full frontal assault on game preservation being signed into a petition, into a bill, and into law. The US, Canada, UK, Germany, EU, Brazil, and Australia are all being petitioned as well.

U.S needs more consumer protections on digital sales. In example: TOS and EULA that abridge the right of ownership of a copy of a piece of software from a retail purchase, to a purchase of that of a license and to a mere "licensed user" should be 1000% illegal. All digitally delivered goods bought for retail price , must be made in a way to be accessible forever , any removal of such content from the consumer by the seller or digital distribution company , should constitute theft. As that's what it is. Fines for this should be steep too, no more "legal for price" attitude these billion dollar companies enjoy. Start fining them a percentage of their yearly net worth and watch em turn into consumer saints.

Funny example. Let's fix it. It's not the Mona Lisa, but a less famous, and culturally less important work of art. The Louvre decides to remove said work of art from display, and keep it locked away in a storage unit for the foreseeable future. Can they do it? Yes.

The point that you are accessing the actual art is an important aspect, since this is what you are doing with The Crew as well. You have files on your PC, sure, but the actual game you access relies on server functions which you actively utilize from Ubisoft. The "download a photo" analogy would only work with a fully offline game. And we're not talking about that, are we?

You've never owned software yourself, you should educate yourself on copyright, and your rights related to it as a consumer, and you need to understand that companies retain all the rights on their software. Software is governed by copyright law, you don't own harry potter because you've bought the books, that would make it impossible for creators to earn from their work. You misunderstand what "You will own nothing and be happy" is talking about, it is about hardware with software components to control ownership of it, like Teslas or Smart fridges, and renting them out instead of selling them. Ownership rights have never been stronger for people who produce content nowadays. If you want to "own" content like games and music, make it yourself. ^^''

Or power tools, pay big beefy money for a almost one time and dust collector. I'm fine with "renting" games on game pass, Ill only know if I like them as I play em. I'm flexible to change what I'm playing without spending 70€ per game I might enjoy. If I end up loving a game, I have no problem with buying it later on. That is not the same thing with the crew example, there was no intention of renting it and therefore it's scummy. If declared before hand you can still choose to spend money yourself or not. There are enough alternatives put there after all.

There should be a law that if the publisher isn't actively selling or making the content available after a grace period of 5 years or so, it then gets released to the public in some official capacity to preserve and experience. That way all games will be available. Either they're being sold, or they're in public library to be accessed. If a company wants to resell the game, maybe they add content, or build on the experience as an incentive and now emulators don't have to sweat as much about being taken down because they have more of a legal standing. Likely needs to ironed out more, but a man can dream though, a man can dream...

The Crew is one of the few games that I have actually bought the physical copy of (normally I just buy them on steam.) So them just taking it away is a punch in the gut. They're not getting any more money from me. This is one of the reasons I love it when game companies do stuff like what Id Software did with the original wolfenstein, doom, and quake games. Sell them for a few years, then release the source code (though not containing the levels, assets, etc) so people can preserve it and enjoy it forever, and they could even learn from how it was made.

I’ve never been a Ubisoft consumer, but I’ve been impacted with stuff like this already via Gran Turismo. GT6 delayed one of its biggest selling points by nearly 3 years - the course maker - and it got removed when the servers were shut off in 2017. Likewise, a post-online patch was released for GT Sport a few months ago and it disabled the livery editor and visual modifications, as well as removed access to a bit over a dozen unique cars that were only available via a Mileage exchange that was also removed from the update. All the liveries and custom wheel/paint you did got removed and all your cars were reverted to their stock base paint, seemingly for no reason, because the liveries would be stored in the same area as the replay folder, which is still active. I hate that I can’t play some of my favorite games they way I did years ago simply because devs arbitrarily decide to remove things or lock them away behind a server wall

@@superninja252 yea that’s something I worry about too. GT hasn’t been great for the last 3 games, kinda fixing some stuff but messing up other aspects at the same time. They got the driving feel and garage ownership/customization and opponent atmosphere perfect in 7, but the AI and campaign is so unbelievably ass and short it’s one of the worst games in the series. I desperately hope they’ve learned from it and past games (especially with the contact they have with their esports players), but with the microtransactions they’ve thrown in my hopes aren’t high. Pretty much our only hope for caRPG/sim lite experiences being good is if Assetto Corsa puts out an absolute banger for their next release - which might be possible, they have great track record and the next game is meant to be a successor to the first game and not strictly an online/race car only/esports title

The level of car detail is insane and is car p orn to me, adding VR support was a game changer too 🙌 GT always nail the handling physics i feel. I like the quality updates the game receives too like adding in 120fps mode, 4 player split screen and regular content updates, my daily car in real life was recently added the Suzuki Jimny which made me so happy lol well almost the same mine isn't the Japanese KEI version but its close enough. So i really hope they don't do any of that content removal in the future. It could be worse though, like I recently went to go buy Forza Horizon 3 on PC because its set in Australia where i live and has our Aussie cars, only to find that you can't even buy the game anymore??

To add to the idea of "Oh this is how this series started", when I first played Bioshock, I loved the game so much (this was around 2020). I instantly played 2 and Infinite and was very into the game series. So I decided to see how the then Irrational Games (now 2K) came to making this game. That's how I discovered System Shock, and it was also an instant hit for me, I played the series at least 10 times over. If it wasn't for the efforts of studios like Nightdive who took it upon themselves to buy the IP and restore the games back to their original forms, I would have never been able to enjoy the games that paved the way for Bioshock. Previously the System Shock IP was lost around the mid 2000s as Looking Glass studios (the company that worked alongside Irrantional games to make the games) shut down and was bought by another company who just had the IP chilling. This holds true for many other series. It's not about the game being "Over 6 years old". The System Shock games came out in the 90s, so that's over 30 years now. Should they be shafted in favour of newer games? Are their gameplay, stories, mechanics and memories now useless and a pile of wasted code because of their age?

As Mutahar said World of Warcraft private run servers were a thing for the longest time. Nostalrius being the biggest and most populated. Blizzard issued a cease and desist and the community got mad. So Blizzard decided if you can't beat them, join them and agreed to make Classic WoW, one problem, Blizzard had lost a lot of the original code, so asked the community for help. They duly obliged. This is a prime example of why community run servers are essential to preserving games. I think the practice of turning over the ability to run private servers without harassment to the community after the official servers have shut down should be something all publishers should do, but of course all they care about is pushing the sequel.

I kind of moved onto other things but the youngest was obsessively following the fan created private servers popping up and disappearing for the next few years. Today, there's a Chinese private server with an English mod over it. The game looks a bit different, and a few systems work differently but both of my sisters play that version of the game to THIS DAY. It doesn't matter how niche or how unimpressive, all games deserve to be preserved. The original WLO would be 20 years old in 2025, and yet it still has a small but active community.

I own a PS4 copy of the crew, had it in my backlog, and was not even aware it was a live service game. There is zero reason for this game to be anything other than a single player offline game. From what I understand Ubisoft is financially not doing well and there is obviously a reason why.

Ubisoft is practically saying: “if I can’t have it, no one can”. This is something an annoying child says to their sibling. NOT a company to its customers!

Never Forget. Ubisoft needs to get used to not being a part of the industry.

Mutah is right. I had to take a marketing class as part of my masters, and one of the big things they preached throughout the course was that no matter what your product is at the end of the day a fixed revenue stream will always put perform a spike and dip. It’s why gyms for example are a great business to start up because the way they are structured is you just need to get enough memberships to keep the lights on, and most people won’t use the gym regularly anyway so it’s like you’re getting free revenue regularly. It’s kind of why everybody is seeing so many RU-vidrs being sponsored by that one company that claims to get rid of all your monthly subscriptions for you that you no longer use to help you save money. Companies want to leech you over time cause they know it’s easier and more cost effective

Honestly it should be entirely illegal to remove people's licenses without a refund to them. It's literally theft.

This is horrible and unacceptable. But to look at it on the brighter side of things, this might be a big catalyst for countries to truly look into this deeper and treat it as something serious instead of a joke

Muta's mention of playing a retro/old game a while back during a specific situation struck a cord because after getting into FF7 so I could understand why the Remake right around the corner was so important to everyone I decided to play the remake as well. And i wanted to play the original crisis core before i played the remake. Ironically i had a PSP collecting dust and pretty much a full decade after the original PSP release i decided to get a physical copy and play it. Providing me an experience that would never hit as hard just by watching a RU-vid video about it.
