=== The Crew shutdown ===

Ubisoft officially delisted ''The Crew'' from all digital storefronts on '''December 14, 2023''', citing [https://www.ubisoft.com/en-ca/game/the-crew/the-crew-2/news-updates/3u0la29yUBGBzYlwKp5QMZ/an-update-on-the-crew “upcoming server infrastructure and licensing constraints.”] They announced that the game, released in 2014 and requiring constant online connectivity even for solo play, would become unplayable after its servers shut down on '''March 31, 2024''' UbisoftWikipedia. Following that shutdown, Ubisoft went a step further: players who owned the game on Ubisoft Connect found that their license had been revoked. The game was moved to an “Inactive Games” library section, became impossible to redownload, and even if launched from local files, only operated in a limited “demo” mode PC GamerWikipedia.
