Ubisoft Revokes The Crew from Players' Libraries After Server Shutdown

Ubisoft has reportedly begun revoking The Crew from owners' libraries and user licenses following the game's server shutdown at the end of March, making it impossible to download and install. This move has sparked backlash from players, with some calling it "abhorrent behavior" and "the saddest and most ruthless decision in gaming history." The recently launched Stop Killing Games initiative aims to challenge the increasing trend of purchased games becoming unplayable, in response to actions like Ubisoft's shutdown of The Crew. Ubisoft has defended its decision, citing server infrastructure and licensing constraints as the reasons for the game's decommissioning.
