Ubisoft Says Players “Cannot Complain” It Shut Down The Crew

The plaintiffs, on the other hand, noted that The Crew’s activation code doesn’t expire until 2099, which implies that the game would stay playable until then. Moreover, The Crew’s currency could be considered a sale of a gift certificate, which are not allowed to expire under California law.

These are fine arguments, but only the judge will decide what’s right. This whole lawsuit, however, is an important precedent, and it will show how companies denying ownership of games might end eventually. Are we moving toward a subscription-only future, or are things going to stay the same?
