The company says an ongoing lawsuit concerning The Crew shutdown is based on a 'faulty assumption' of video game ownership.

    Well thats okay. Someone pirating the game never actually stole it.

    It’s been like this forever. You have a “license to play the game” same as the movies you buy are a license to play the content in a private setting

      If a movie rescinds the license to play then you get your money back.

      Like when Amazon pulled to license for people who purchased 1984.

        They dont follow this policy anymore. The T&C clearly state that you dont own the digital media and are not entitled to access it.

      Join our discord

      It’s so weird to fight for digital ownership of one thing and then put all the organizing work and discussion into another closed corporate ecosystem that could shut down or charge per head at any time

        Create a /c comm and email Ross to let him know it exists. I’m sure he’d be amenable

          Adding the link to the website might be a non issue.

          Getting people to join a fediverse thing might be even harder than getting them to sign.
