Ubisoft Defends Its Stance in The Crew Lawsuit: You Don't Truly Own Your Games

Ubisoft has made a robust argument in the ongoing lawsuit by asserting that players only obtain a 'limited license' for online access to games like The Crew.

Ubisoft is standing its ground against a proposed class-action lawsuit related to The Crew, insisting that consumers were explicitly informed that their purchase was a ’limited license’ for game access. The company maintains that game packaging included clear warnings that online features could be canceled with prior notice.

Despite the ongoing legal battle, Ubisoft concluded that players had enjoyed The Crew’s services over many years before the servers were shut down in 2024, underscoring their position that the lawsuit should be dismissed.

Key Points:

  • Ubisoft argues players only buy a limited license to the game.
  • The lawsuit claims players were misled about ownership.
  • Clear warnings were provided on game packaging about online access limitations.
  • The case (Mai v. Supercell Oy) cited to support the argument highlights the difficulties in proving harm when players used the service as intended.
