Ubisoft Faces Lawsuit Over The Crew's Server Shutdown

Ubisoft is facing a potential class action lawsuit from two Californian players over the shutdown of servers for the online-only racing game, The Crew, which has rendered the game unplayable. The lawsuit, filed under California's new digital ownership law, claims Ubisoft misled consumers into believing they were purchasing the game rather than merely licensing it. The plaintiffs argue that they would not have bought the game had they known the servers would be shut down, and they seek to have the lawsuit approved as a class action to allow other affected players to join.
