The Crew (Announced for Xbox 360 in August)
One of the most awaited racing-game of 2014 is The Crew, a next-gen driving MMO developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections.
This game will take you and your friends (the crew) on a reckless ride inside a massive, persistent open-world recreation of the United States, around 5,000 square miles awaits to be explored. According to a Ubisoft rep, it will take an hour and a half to drive from West Coast to East Coast.
The Outerhaven writes: With the closure of The Crew's online servers, Ubisoft has started removing access to the game from anyone who owns it on Ubisoft Connect.
Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
Titan Forge Games and Hi-Rez Studios revealed a new collaboration between SMITE and the popular VTuber agency VShojo, including skins for four members.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
I hope ubisoft uses the open world from the crew and uses it to make a non racer. And a hour and a half is not 5000 miles. I know the speed of those cars it's like there trying to lie to our face. Anyone can do the math. Unless cars can travel 5000miles per hour then they called total bullshit
Edit: which by the way is faster then your standard planes
Cnt wait for this game
Not to be a downer or anything but this reminds me of last generation about the xbox 360 getting age of conan,city of heroes, apb, etc which none of them came to the console. Likewise I am still waiting for the agency to come to the PS4 at least for it never came to the PS3. So apart from the crew don't get your hopes up.
