It’s not unusual that once in a while there are reports of server shutdowns for some of the older games. If it is not a purely multiplayer game, then in most cases it is true that single player is still available. But that’s not the case with Ubisoft’s The Crew, the first installment of their racing series that came out in 2014. After nine years, the game disappeared from digital stores and starting March 31<\/strong> even those of you who have it in your library won’t play it next year.<\/p>\n

This applies to all versions without exception, so the same scenario will occur whether you have The Crew on PC, PlayStation<\/a> or Xbox<\/a>. The team from Ubisoft Ivory Tower justify this move with the upcoming change in server infrastructure and also licensing issues<\/strong>. It is said that they do not take it lightly, and by leaving the first part, they step even more into the creation of new content for the two and only a few months old The Crew Motorfest.<\/p>\n

In the announcement, the developers also give a glimpse into the background of the development of the first The Crew. Development started already in 2007<\/strong>, when a trio of friends tried to push their idea of \u200b\u200bcreating one of the most ambitious racing games. After seven years, the 30-member team released the result in 2014, and it was a success that laid the foundation for even more to follow.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to remember, but once again it shows how insecure it is with games that require a constant internet connection, even if they have a single player part. Ubisoft is quite the expert in this style of game, but it’s certainly not the only company that takes a similar approach to games that aren’t purely multiplayer. <\/p>\n
