Ubisoft follows through on its promise that its customers don't own its games

Ubisoft is stripping people's licences for The Crew weeks after its shutdown, nearly squandering hopes of fan servers and acting as a stark reminder of how volatile digital ownership is

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

I can understand a "mostly online" game having an officially finite lifetime because the company will only run the servers for so long (unless there's a subscription involved and sufficient subscribers), but Ubisoft seems to have gone out of its way to say the fun's over when it says it's over.

They are right though, I don't own their games, and I am indeed very happy about that.
