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

    Well thats okay. Someone pirating the game never actually stole it.

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

      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
