In recent years, only one thing has been established in the gaming industry, and that is that digital video game licenses are something that is easy for big companies to move, the moment they decide they can hit the switch. So that no one can access your title anymore. Ubisoft knows this very well, their comments were not missed, since they mentioned that people should get the idea that these products are not theirs, but rather an income.
In December 2023 it was announced that the game servers the crew They will shut down on April 1, 2024, which was already written in stone, and given that, users realized they could no longer test the online functions, something no one had a problem with. However, that was not what they were referring to, since their plan was to wipe the game off the face of the earth, and today many users have lost this delivery of the catalog, even preventing them from entering the start menu.
The problem is not the fact that the game has stopped working, since there are already some sequels that surpass it in many ways, the problem is that it can leave users without the possibility to try it anytime the company wants. They are store bought titles. Similarly, there is no compensation, especially for those who exchanged the game with money, canceling the season that the French company gave it to the public.
Description of this game:
“The Crew” is an open-world racing video game developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft. The game was first released in December 2014 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It stands out for its large open world that replicates a condensed version of the United States, allowing players to freely navigate cities, fields, mountains and different environments on a continuous map and without loading time between regions.
“The Crew” and its successors are known for combining simulation and arcade elements, providing a gaming experience that is accessible but with enough depth to keep players engaged for the long term.
This means the digital market remains in question. But unfortunately this is also happening with physical games, because in some games (especially from Ubisoft), all content no longer comes on disc, but has to be downloaded from the Internet to play.

Editor’s note: This digital thing is becoming more and more dangerous as the years go by. However, statistics say that they are the most bought in the market, so we must be prepared for the worst.
