Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

      Didn’t they give out refunds? That seems like the right thing to do when a massively multiplayer game is dead on arrival.

        Doesn’t change the fact that the few fans it had can’t play it ever again, game is still killed because it had no support for community servers, just matchmaking.

        I for sure would prefer to host my own The Crew and not getting a refund.

          I feel it’s rather fair to give them a pass on this one. Games with a player base and longer than a passing fart of time in the market? Sure. This was a failed product. They issued refunds. This is a situation where pushing your luck just backs someone into a corner.

          We can hope they’ll flip the assets and remodel into another title.

          Atleast offer a self hosted option to keep it alive, don’t even include the anti-cheat or denuvo as that can be proprietary stuff.
