In a newly uncovered court filing, Ubisoft has stated that players never actually owned their copies of The Crew, but instead received a “limited license to access the game.” The declaration comes as part of an ongoing Ubisoft Game Ownership Lawsuit, filed in California after the company shut down the game’s servers in March 2024, making it completely unplayable.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is rolling the dice again with Fantastic Four: First Steps, the 37th entry in the franchise, and it might be its most ideologically loaded to date.
