Ubisoft has gone one step further to try and stop people getting into The Crew.

      If you want to do something about it just go play beam.ng or motor town or another racing game from a smaller dev.

        Not the same thing at all. When the Crew is lost, a unique game and its world are lost with it. That’s like saying if you want to play something like Metal Gear Solid you can go play Hitman. They’re broadly the same genre, but a lot of unique art and experience is lost by just giving up and letting it go the easy way.

  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
