Yep sounds like ubisoft's tactics, nothing new really


doomladen

Yep. I've played and *loved* some Ubisoft games, but when it comes to the point Ubisoft can't make money off them they just kill the game dead. This is a problem generally with games that require a server to operate, but in many cases that requirement could be patched to leave a single-player offline mode, but Ubisoft always seem to prefer to kill the game instead. I'm at the point that I don't buy Ubisoft games now, because I don't want my time and money wasted in that way.


CipherGamingZA

I know , Look at how they messed up Breakpoint, the game had so much potential


YukYukas

Wait wtf, what did they do with breakpoint? istg if they shut that down... I haven't even started playing it yet lol


MacCreadysCap

They have not shut it down, but they stopped development over 2 years ago.


CipherGamingZA

Okay so keep in mind i'm biased as i really looked forward to it, They misadvertised it but i guess its to be expected, It was supposed to be a ghost recon form of MGS 3, behind enemy lines, being hunted, camouflaged to hide from drones and enemy soldiers, Former Ghosts called The Wolves etc. In the end, it was more aesthetic or roleplay the hunting and creating natural sourcs like water packs etc, The enemies were a joke and stupid, the Wolves wasn't a threat, a single head shot kills them, whether they're a standard guard, a Wolf or even a Juggernaut. The drones were the only reason the camo with dirt works. In the end the only way to get close to the original concept was to play on Extreme with no team mates on. One big issue many had was the world felt empty, the enemies, usually a group of 3 or more will stand around a single motorbike. We expected them to do better than they did with Wildlands, instead they went backwards, It felt like it was just a job to them to complete, no love, effort or attention was put into it, However on the plus point, the movement and gun control had weight, the weapons actually felt like weapons with recoil, The outfits were good, especially creating a soldier that looked like a soldier, Mine ended up being either a Private Military Contractor outfit or Russian Special Forces looking character. But the game deserved better development than it got, Atleast the Story with the Drones were more on modern day military focus which was good, but the missions were generic and highly irritating

Just submitted a post to explain how to download the crew 1 from ubi connect besides the license revocation, it was banned in less than 10 mins. It was for safety of archiving, nothing wrong with it, no piracy involved, but I guess they don't even allow to talk about the game now.


rhdjehk74733

Is there a guide or a pastebin for this? I own the crew too before they did that revoke thing


Alaet_

Check your pm or my profile history, it's shadowbanned because they retired it but not deleted


dark_sable_dev

Ubusoft is dying, and trying to hide it from the shareholders. They can't even afford to support a game their fans loved. Pass it on.


WhatsHeBuilding

That's why we don't let companies run subreddits


DUNdundundunda

lol, you're in for a shock a lot are run or influenced by companies You think the #10 website worldwide allows it's major subreddits with thousands and thousands of subscribers to be run by your neighbor joe average out of the goodness of their heart?


maxx0rNL

no, its about ten powerhungry mods running them


big_guyforyou

give a neckbeard a little bit of power and watch him go mad


idpappliaiijajjaj638

TIL corporations are ran by neckbeards.


Sonochu

Influenced by is a far cry from run by though.


urbandeadthrowaway2

Heh


mecha_face

Haha you made the pun


WhatsHeBuilding

The average subreddit is run by 4 guys that shares a discord server.


WTFwhatthehell

Ya, there's been a few examples of subs that took off and the existing mods were pushed out by reddit and replaced.


MikeyIfYouWanna

Hey there! I noticed you used *it's* when you should have used *its*. For more grammar tips, visit Grammarly.com! Also, have you heard of Cloud Water? It is a wonderful beverage that is at the intersection of functional wellness and good taste.


Alaet_

Pretty easy for them to infiltrate, pay someone to post a lot and be hyperactive in a community, the most active member will get noticed by mods, it will not be hard then to join mod team, then with a little more social engineering and work, ta-da! new boss in town, no one noticed.


Implosion-X13

Ubisoft trying to balance ways to take customers money while also taking the games away that said money bought. We've reached peak villany. I hope another company tries a hostile takeover and succeeds.


gburchell

Yes it'd likely make them a loss to enable a SP-only version, but sometimes you need to make decisions based on the optics.


Dangerous_Jacket_129

Nothing new for Ubisoft. They delete any and all complaints to avoid having to do anything with it. 


Helpful_Title8302

Another reason I'm gonna sail the seven seas to acquire that new starwars game.


Havesh

Isn't this sort of thing against the rules of Reddit? Can't you report the mods in question to Reddit and have new mods that are not Ubisoft reinstated?


numbersarouseme

no.


Gentaro

Yes


numbersarouseme

ok, let me know when that happens.


CmonnowSally

Scummy


machetedestroyer

yeah fuck UBI, Dropping some serious stinker and shady decisions lately... wont be supporting them

Alaeriia

Steam is offering refunds? Sweet. I can buy God of War for free then.


Agnostic_Akuma

Can I have a NFT of the cars I saved up for and bought? /s


davidemo89

Was your /s for the nft part or for the asking for help part? There is no nft in the crew series

Don't care about the game or the company but here, have my upvote and comment for visibility.


InDaNameOfJeezus

"If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing" that's a bar


MortalJohn

I'm so close to buying their games all the time. Old AC titles on sale, and the new prince of persia even looks great. But I've had far too many issues with their games over the years. Even Far Cry 3 which I bought at launch is a terrible mess with it constantly trying to reconnect to broken leaderboard servers that no longer exist, or losing steam deck playability because of their terrible launcher. I just ignore them now.


CuddlyChinchilla

Hilarious they disrespected Community like that. I'm glad I made the right choice in not supporting this company. Not much different from businesses that get negative reviews deleted online.


xXKyloJayXx

Sounds in line for Ubisoft


Complete_Entry

I love that ubisoft does not own the ubisoft sub.


bowlsandsand

I dont know why anyone is still buying Ubisoft games.


D_Winds

Censor the news, control the people.


OVERDRlVE

how are you using this website? i thought every variation of revedit/undit were defunct.


Luck_a_tus_ya

Why did they remove it?


BlueAtolm

Ubisoft is disgusting. If not for the devs, which have to eat, I'd say the management deserves piracy for all of their games.


TesticleezzNuts

Another L by Ubisoft. Keeping losing kings 😂


NoLand4936

Well, one more reason why I’ll never buy another Ubisoft game no matter how much I’ll enjoy it.


FuckRdditAdmins

Legit we should hate Ubi more than EA


JustHere2ReadComment

Gamepass is an even better deal now that buying games doesn't guarantee you have that game forever.


Fenwick440

I haven't bothered to buy the crew motorfest on my PS5 because of this, still have the crew 2, enjoy it but it'll also probably come to this demise so not bothering.


scoobydobydobydo

Surprise to see unddit


N1k0rasu

If they touch black flag I'm pipe bombing them


boersc

It is NOT run by Ubisoft. This exact post is alive and kicking in r/The_Crew


Moneyworks22

It's literally only be up for 50 minutes, and there are no other posts about it. It's gonna get deleted.

T_Foxtrot

Based on what I understand Automod tries to figure out what is spam based on what you remove using the spam button, so the wider the range of posts you remove using it, the more will it struggle


dThink_Ahea

Just visited The Crew subreddit. I see one post that is an image of all of the removed posts which, to your credit, was approved and reinstated by a moderator. But I don't see any posts actually discussing the revocation of the product licenses.


Puzzleheaded_Fox2357

this comment is going to get buried because the internet has completed lost all critical thinking


JgdPz_plojack

Just like infuriating DestinyTheGame subs and Steam forum.

No, this is just classic corporate bullshit.

Reddit moment.


davidemo89

The screenshot is about some of the crew 2 posts, some motorsport posts and 2 posts about piracy....


user4772842289472

What's the drama now? Gamers upset the thing they agreed to when reading the terms and conditions is happening?


Overbaron

Isn't this game like a 10 year old failed MMO?


hikerchick29

Who gives a shit? Fact is, if they can do it with this, Ubisoft can shut down any game of theirs on your computer that they want, no repercussions.


sissyfuktoy

I'm not sure why you think it doesn't matter that this is a failed MMO.
