As if there weren't enough reasons to skip Ubisoft games, lol. Speedrunning their own collapse.

I gotta imagine this is somehow related to all the shit they've been facing regarding The Crew for the last few years, like they can say to the courts 'see, we even mandated in our EULA that games we don't support anymore need to be destroyed'.

But if the game is not supported and can't run because of the servers being closed what good will it make to destroy physical discs? They are useless anyway.

But if the game is not supported and can't run because of the servers being closed what good will it make to destroy physical discs? They are useless anyway.

Just spitballing, but this is the crux of the The Crew related class action lawsuit:

Both plaintiffs purchased The Crew late into its lifecycle, in 2018 and 2020, and picked up physical copies. This plays a significant role in the lawsuit. "Plaintiff Cassell was under the impression that by purchasing the physical Game disk," the lawsuit reads, "he acquired the full bundle of ownership rights over the Game, and that he would be able to use the disk to play the game whenever he wanted in the future."

The EULA wording looks like it's there as a safety net against claims like the above.

[Gonzito]

Is this real or fake?

 

[Z O N E]

I simply won't purchase another Ubisoft game ever again then...

Not like I was buying them anyway, but it kind of solidifies my position even more.

Well done Ubisoft, you've played yourself.

 

[Kataploom]

I wont buy another Ubisoft game ever again.

That's me too, after they took The Crew from people's library, I'll only play their games on Game Pass or similar services if I ever feel like playing anything from them, which is almost never the case for the past 8 years or so

"Uninstall and destroy all copies of the product in your possession."

1. Are these people fucking retarded?
2. Do they actually expect anyone to do this?
3. How on earth did they think this would be a good idea?
4. How on earth did they think they wouldn't get backlash from this?

 

[Bert Big Balls]

This has to be fake. Has anyone from here confirm it?

It's real. Go to https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/eula/en-US and ctrl+f "destroy".

 

[PlayStaytion]

Can't they just say it nicely? what's the point of behaving like that?

 

[Radical_3d]

Can't the EU fuck them up for this kind of abusive clause?

 

[Ashamam]

People haven't read EULA's before?

License is granted and can be revoked if you break the terms of the agreement (you know, the one you clicked past without reading). If the agreement is broken you must destroy (read: delete) the program? Not sure why people are up in arms about that, especially since I bet almost noone in this thread actually read WHY it can be terminated in Clause 1.....

Try reading MS or PS EULA's, they all have terminate clauses.

I mean hell, MS even has a clause that sunsets you out of the license for not using it lol, which is about deauthorising devices if not used. (Video based not gaming).

I'd like to see them try enforcing this, lmao.

 

[freemandos]

So much retardation in a single videogame company. Specially when they are not in their best moment.

 

[Bernardougf]

Couldn't name a more easier gaming company to avoid its dogshit products even if my life depended on it.

Good luck getting people to this.
