Ubisoft is stripping people's licences for The Crew weeks after its shutdown, nearly squandering hopes of fan servers and acting as a stark reminder of how volatile digital ownership is(www.pcgamer.com)

It’s single player, but requires an internet connection and has a season pass.

Oh yikes. That sucks. I mean, I don’t mind the internet connection. I always have one. But the season pass is not a good omen, unless it is just for the DLC when it comes out, like how games were 10 years ago. But I feel like it hasn’t meant that in a long time. Also, Ubisoft doesn’t have a good track record.

I think the internet requirement super sucks because those servers go down eventually. It’s likely to be a big problem on launch day as well. The more expensive editions come with an exclusive mission so that probably sets the tone for the season pass too. We will have no wait and see.
