For anyone who wants to help take legal action against this practice; selling a game then making it unplayable, I highly recommend going over to the youtube channel Accursed Farms. The guy behind the channel is attempting to challenge it legally to at the very least, stop games in the future from dying like this. This process should be starting at around April 2024 so very soon. The channel will put out videos detailing what to do so stay tuned.

Gamers should actually stop buying Ubishit games. The company sucks. Their games are copy and pastes from last year's ones. The gameplay's always the same. The story sucks. They don't want you to own anything. Do as they say. Don't buy their stuff. EVER. I bet they would change their practices if a couple thousand people actually did it, but we couldn't EVER buy their games again, that would send the industry a message, but the gaming community's dead, this won't ever happen. People nowadays buy a game that they won't own, buy the DLC bundle before the company ships the game, and they'll be happy to spend 90$ on a broken garbage.

It's not impossible. Mario Kart Wii has been forgotten for many years, but the game lives on and is now thriving. Don't give up hope. If the people care enough to it, it will live.

Such a sad thing this is being lost to history, sitting in my library without life.

The feeling of the first chapter remains unmatched! The story, the atmosphere, the map, the UI and the variety of customization available for cars. The only bad thing was the physics, but it was playable anyway. The concept remains and it will remain forever a 10/10! I’m gonna miss all those hours of driving without a fixed destination around the whole map... a giant map with completely different areas. Without forgetting the launch trailer... what a masterpiece, which is still one of the best trailer ever made! I’m so sorry that only now people are realizing how good this game actually was🫡

At least with TDU2 the final update the Dev's allowed you to bypass the online mode and play online in single player with no internet.. It was never the same without the other players, but still fun to pop into TDU2 now and then and drive the old cars with tons of miles on them.

this actually made me cry. i played this game for the first time when i was around 5 years old. my uncle had given a whole load of games which his son didn’t play anymore and one of them was the crew. i loved that game and im pretty sure i got over a 1000 hours on that game which was a lot considering i also had school and what not. i remember how much i loved playing the game and just building cars and cruising around the map. it was by far my favourite game on my ps4. i tried the crew 2 but it just didn’t have the same feel as the crew. i made so many friends and memories playing the crew and its so sad seeing the game being shut down considering it was so big in my life growing up. i’m 14 now but fuck man i feel old now that i’m seeing childhood games of mine getting shut down

This game had the best soundtrack ever in a racing game. It will be remembered.

An undeserved fate. Putting the NFS World music with it just brought me to tears. Farewell to the second game that shaped my gaming hobby.

For anyone that wants to give a chance for a The Crew revival some day, please go to the following video from Accursed Farms channel: The largest campaign ever to stop publishers destroying games. He is organizing a movement to open legal action against ubisoft in many countries, and try to get this and other online games available after the companies drop support!

I remember being so hyped for this game when the trailer dropped, it is still my favourite to this day. The last racing game I ever bought on release. My daughter, who is only 4, just started playing it recently with me, she loved driving in Miami, switching between Performance/Circuit spec cars. Not anymore though, so fucking sad

I'm gonna miss this game. I would play it all the time when I was younger and would literally drive around for hours to escape. Drove around in my prized Chevy Corvette for the last time last night. R.I.P. The Crew

I'd highly recommend all Crew owners check out the video titled "The largest campaign ever to stop publishers destroying games" by Accursed Farms. Your actions may help prevent things like this from happening in the future.

I’ll never forget how excited I was when the crew was first announced, and the experience I had playing it for the first time. I still say the first game is the best, because it tried to be its own unique thing, as opposed to its sequels, which are just blatant forza horizon clones. I will forever cherish this game, and the memories I made with it. Rest well The Crew. Never drive alone.

The most enjoyable racing game I've ever played in my life. The pleasure of driving with my friends on the endless map was incredible. There were many beautiful side roads have amazing view, but unfortunately in Crew 2 they were replaced by sea and lakes. I don't think anyone really wants to drive a boat. I hope they remake it with a graphics and physics update, keeping the map same as beautiful.

Damn... I remember that i found this channel searching for The Crew races with the Hummer H1 Alpha on Raid Spec, even before the name ISAD come up here. How the time passes so quickly... Farewell, The Crew You'll not be forgotten.

Excellent BGM choice. The feelings are the same as they were, once.

And then there's that woman: "Do MeN EvEn HaVe FeElINGS?" How much time, how many rages, how many races? How many friends, how many laughs, how many moments? I'm not emotional for crying, my emotions are in the moment i feel them. And today we rejoiced to feel this spiral of some of everything we've ever felt. Maybe sadnes for losing everything we've built, maybe hapinnes for being part of it. Perhapts rage about this not beeing necessary, but hope, for this end be a new chapter of a better The Crew era.

Had no idea The Crew was shutting down but I'm glad to know that my car in this game will forever be parked in my home town

Adding the NFS World music really helps it kick in. Remembering the videos of people sitting there, waiting for the World servers to shut down.

Was it really hard to put out an offline update for the game?

wish i could go back to when it released free with gold and re live it all again

This hits so different with the NFS World static car song..

I had no idea they planned to shut down The Crew! What a shame, I remember joining when the graphic update arrived, got it on a discount at Uplay back then. Driving from one corner of the map to the other while listening to "Quiet Little Voices" from We Were Promised Jetpacks, what a game it was, hopefully we will have The Crew 2 for a lot longer, kind of miss the vibes of the first game tho, lot more dark and different from the colorful festival we get to see nowadays.

the only thing i recall from this game is the great cinematic trailer, atmosphere, everything else is gone from my memory. crew 2, motorfest doesn't satisfy crew 1 enjoyers. i know.

Because they've made this game online only and because they've now shut it down, I'll never buy a Ubisoft game ever again. Those P&VP faction hour/multiple hours long races on ambiental radio were like no others.

Fast forward to 2014 The Crew released and it was the same exact idea we were talking about! And the updates in later years made it even better. 👍🏿 I really enjoyed this game during the times i played it.
