Ubisoft Sued for Shutting Down The Crew's Online Servers

Ubisoft is facing a class action lawsuit from two Californian players over the shutdown of servers for the online-only game The Crew, which has rendered it unplayable. The lawsuit likens the situation to a pinball machine missing its essential components, arguing that players wouldn't have purchased the game if they knew it could become unplayable. Ubisoft had offered refunds to recent buyers but not to those who purchased the game since its 2011 release. The case highlights ongoing issues around digital ownership and server-dependent games.
