I would normally not link to a tweet, but it’s from the YouTuber who is behind the global campaign that aims to prevent games companies from killing games people paid for:

It seems that Ubisoft is either doubling down on deleting this game in order to throw a wrench into preservation efforts and activism (even though it’ll achieve the polar opposite) - or that this was the plan all along and it’s just blindly being carried out, bad optics be damned.
Can we keep in mind that back when The Crew launched, Ubisoft hadn’t quite established themselves as abysmal-tier company they are now.
