Ubisoft Is Facing Lawsuit After The Crew Was Removed From Platforms
Ubisoft is facing a proposed class action lawsuit over its decision to shut down The Crew earlier this year, a decade after its initial release. Two players submitted the filing before the California Court, claiming that Ubisoft "duped consumers" into purchasing The Crew without the knowledge that its servers could be shut down, making the online game unplayable.
When the shutdown was announced in December last year, Ubisoft offered refunds to players, but only those who "recently" purchased the game. Given the age of the game, a lot of players were unable to receive theirs.
"Imagine you buy a pinball machine, and years later, you enter your den to go play it, only to discover that all the paddles are missing, the pinball and bumpers are gone, and the monitor that proudly displayed your unassailable high score is removed," the plaintiffs' lawyers wrote in the lawsuit that was uploaded by Polygon. "Turns out the pinball manufacturer decided to come into your home, gut the insides of the pinball machine, and remove your ability to play the game that you bought and thought you owned."
