8BitChimp says, "The Crew is an upcoming racing video game set in an open world environment. It is being developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with an Xbox 360 port being developed by Asobo Studio."
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!
The series' next iteration is coming this year.
Now that we have great availability for GeForce GTX GPUs across retailers and at prices gamers can afford, there’s never been a better time to become a GeForce Gamer and ‘Join the Crew’.
I am intrigued by the RPG elements.
And since this game is also owned by Ubisoft. Do you guys think that both PS4 and X1 will both locked at 900p as well?

The beta was sort of underwelming to me. Hopefully the fix a few things.
-When crashing into other vehicles it felt completely lame, looked like i was holding a july 4th sparkler or something.
-You were abel to upgrade and buy those points you can use to enhance your breaking or how much parts cost. Some of that was downright dumb, 5 pts to get 5% better breaking?
-Story was Meh, way too predictable and just overall not very intriguing (but i get its a racing game)
- Always online to play any aspect of this game is a turn off though. Even though driveclub is having a ton of issues you can play offline if that was The Crew it would be a coaster until they fix that.
-The Graphics were a little underwelming but the size of the game is large
THe cars seemed nice, the upgrading seemed interesting but seemed limited in the beta so hard to tell. If it dont get better i will probably pass on this one.
I hate to say this, but I deleted the beta after playing for about 20min. I know it's a beta, but it just wasn't that thrilling to me. The cops smashed me off the road 3 times in 20 min LOL! Hopefully others enjoy it. Just wasn't really for me I guess.
