That’s one of the many reasons why I never bought it.

Ubisoft you can’t complain if I pirate your games, because I never actually bought them and you weren’t deceived by a lack of purchase.

This is the correct response.

Hijacking.

Are you European Union Citizen? Do you like games?

Do you want to own games again? and not just “License” them? Then please join the Stop destroying Videogames Initiative.

Initiative - citizens-initiative.europa.eu/…/000007_en

(Only sign if you are a EU citizen!)

It’s an initiative to get the European parliament to discuss the matter all together, and Iirc, it already has some members that support it. (So It’s not just any ordinary petition that will go nowhere.)

We have already collected 42% of the 1 million signatures from European citizens required. But the deadline is June 2025 and if we don’t get enough signatures by then, it won’t be looked at by the European commission. So to at least get the matter to be discussed, please sign!

(ONLY FOR European Union citizens! No one else! Please do not sign if you aren’t an EU citizen. Also No Brits! there’s another initiative for the UK.)

Short video explainer about the initiative - youtu.be/mkMe9MxxZiI

For more info visit www.stopkillinggames.com

You can also view the petitions for other countries - (Australia, Canada, UK, Brazil… and more)

ONLY FOR European Union citizens! No Brits!

signs anyways…is American

SpicyColdFartChamber, 6 miesięcy temu (edited 6 miesięcy temu)

No, please don’t sign if you are American. That can harm the petition with false signatures.

This is strictly ONLY for European union citizens!

Don’t worry, you can still help by spreading the message among your EU friends or family members(You don’t have to be a gamer to care about this or vote in this!). A lot of the exposure to this initiative is lacking when it comes to non-english speaking EU citizens. You can help there.

“Nobody reads those EULAs, and the Defendant knows that. Therefore, the Defendant cannot hide behind the EULA as a shield because the Prosecution, having clicked Agree without being required to confirm that they read through the terms, could not have possibly known what they were agreeing to.”

“If you are what you agree to, your Honor, then my clients are an unknown spaghetti of legal mumbo jumbo.”

“No further remarks, your Honor.”

I would relish a lawsuit against EULAs where the defendant somehow sends the prosecutor a EULA in a software package that declares that they automatically lose the lawsuit by clicking Agree.

It would really hammer in the point that fucking NOBODY reads this shit.

I think someone calculated the time it would take to read every single one you’re expected to agree with in normal every day life, and it worked out to needing 76 work days to read everything you “agree” to in a typical year.

There was a video game store that once, for April Fools Day, included in its sale terms:

By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorized minions.

Only 12% of people that purchased that day responded, essentially confirming only 12% of people actually read the terms.

AmbientChaos, 6 miesięcy temu

12% is honestly way higher than I thought it would be. That number might be inflated by people looking for funny stuff on April 1st though

RightHandOfIkaros, 6 miesięcy temu

I think one could successfully argue in a court of law that people tend to be hyper aware on April 1st, and so may have read the terms suspecting something amiss when they otherwise would not have.

NewDayRocks, 6 miesięcy temu

We are not accounting for the percentage of people who read it but are still cool with forfeiting their soul.

The judge would tell you you’re an idiot who said nothing worthwhile and that ignorance of the things you agree to doesn’t make them void when they’re used against you.

Gaslighting. That’s a new strategy and a new low.

dissentiate, 6 miesięcy temu

Gas lightning is one of the many disgusting tactics corporate lawyers build their careers on.

Zess, 6 miesięcy temu

Go and learn what gaslighting is so you don’t look so stupid next time you say it.

Fuck Ubisoft, I don’t know why everyone on Reddit loves em

Zess, 6 miesięcy temu

The r/gaming comments about this topic look exactly the same as here but go off if it makes you feel better or whatever.

JakobFel, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

And this is exactly why Ubisoft is dying. Good riddance.

Yep, couldn’t happen to a nicer publisher :)

Eat shit Guillemot.

I actually enjoyed the first two Crew games and probably would have checked out Motorfest by now if they didn’t remove the first game from my library. But now, why should I ever buy another Ubisoft game when I don’t know how long they’ll bless me with the ability to play the games I’ve paid for? They even included expiration dates for their game keys and they’re acting like those dates were completely meaningless. So, even if they try to add an end of life date for future purchases, how would I know they’re not lying like they did with these original keys?

Narauko, 6 miesięcy temu

This is why I have stopped buying anything Blizzard. They removed the Warcraft 3 I payed for and replaced it with a completely unplayable something I didn’t want. Ubisoft has been on my shit list for a while for unrelated reasons too, but now they are on my never again list. And I never even played The Crew. Bad business is bad business even if it doesn’t directly impact me.

rustyfish, 6 miesięcy temu (edited 6 miesięcy temu) do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

I think I didn’t buy or play anything Ubisoft since Far Cry 4? And even that was more of an accident.

So from my perspective Ubisoft is that one flaccid one night stand who is still screeching about stuff while I moved on years ago.

Edit: I just checked. I didn’t even buy Far Cry 4. Oh whoops.

GenosseFlosse, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s just a map pack for Far Cry 3 anyway…

Abnorc, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

I reserve my right to complain.

SilentObserver, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

Sweet. Just giving me more reasons to not buy Ubisoft’s garbage.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

They can’t complain when I never actually give them money but still play then

Lost_My_Mind, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

You’re right, Ubisoft. I CAN’T complain about not owning the game. I never bought it. You know…because it’s an Ubisoft game!

robdor, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

Ubisoft can’t be mad at me for not burying any of their games because they don’t make any games.

I have the fucking disc to prove I do own it, you arseholes.

Stovetop, 6 miesięcy temu

Sadly, the legal interpretation of copyright says you own the plastic, but not the data it contains. It sucks but it’s not just Ubisoft.

Embargo, 6 miesięcy temu

Well… I can’t say I’ll feel for them when they inevitably complain about myself and many others cracking their games.

inclementimmigrant, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

Oooooooooh, fuck you Ubisoft.
