Tuesday, March 31st 2026 Ubisoft in Legal Hot Water over The Crew Shutdown by Cpt.Jank Today, 19:51 Discuss (0 ) If you've been following the Stop Killing Games movement, you'll know that Ubisoft shutting down The Crew, a fairly modern video game by most standards, having launched in 2014, has ruffled some feathers. Now, as reported by Reuters, Ubisoft has been taken to court by French consumer action group, UFC-Que Choisir, who argues that the contractual practices that Ubisoft engages in when it sells games may be abusive and deny consumers their rights. Ubisoft, as is the case with many gaming companies, argues that players buy limited licenses to play the games they pay for—not an actual product—and that the license can be revoked at any time. With lawsuits like the one brought against Ubisoft, UFC-Que Choisir intends to put an end to these "harmful practices," remove the relevant clauses from sales contracts, and make Ubisoft recognize the collective harm done to the collective interests of consumers.
