In-game advertising has been a hot topic for years, but it wasn't until broadband really took off that the topic was thrust into most gamers' awareness. Streaming technology had been around for years, but with the advent of high-speed services like Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, would-be advertisers finally had an avenue to reach millions of gamers with their streamed, on-screen ads. And of course, when Microsoft bought the ad-serving company Massive Inc., gamers knew it was just a matter of time before ads exploded onto their shooters and action games.
Ubisoft is saying goodbye to some vintage Clancyverse games later this year.
Rainbow Six Vegas, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Rainbow Six Lockdown, and Ghost Recon Future Soldier will all see their online servers shut down, though any singleplayer content will still be available.
Any in-game rewards, redeemed items, achievements, and Ubisoft's proprietary currency will also be disabled. Yep, even if you've already redeemed items or unlocked them in-game, you'll no longer be able to access them on PC. There's no solid date for Ubi pulling the plug on these games yet, being given the vague window of 2021.

Depends, say it’s something like Outriders then without the servers you can’t get past the title screen.
There are 3rd party servers with programs you can use ubisoft has already killed online play for most of these games you will never find a match or it wont let you search but they still sell copies on amazon.

MS should buy the rights and host the servers in Azure, all to bring Game Preservation to us all.
Those are the only Ubisoft games I like. Sure would be cool to get a remaster
What do Brütal Legend, Bully, and Rainbox Six: Vegas have in common? In Cog's opinion, they are three series that need reviving.
I doubt it will happen, but I'd enjoy seeing a new No One Lives Forever game. That is one game series that has huge potential if it was to return.
100% Agree but who would be the developer? Monolith studios just makes Shadows of Mordor these days.
I know they have talked about wanting to make a new one before, but seeing as they don't own the publishing rights, but Fox they can't, may be now that Disney owns Fox, WB could work out a deal to buy the rights though.
If you want to explore your Xbox with best games, then try these games.
