Just a reminder to get your money's worth while you can. Sorry to say I bought this game not so long before the announcement late last year.

Hooray for Ubisoft current management. Hip Hip Hooray!

Definitely going for one last tour with my 2005 GT.
We never really got our open world exploration and car upgrades MMO, but i feel like this is as closest to perfect as we have been so far.
So long.

This is "Industry Standard Practice". Even, The Savior to PC gaming, Valve pulls this crap.

IMO, nothing short of Consumer Protection and Contract* law(s) being properly applied and enforced, will make a dent in the practice.

*The industry and courts 'took away' our "ownership", we're contracting licensees.
So, why can a contracted license's terms be changed or ignored (causing damages, loss of use) w/o legal consequences, as long as it's computer software?

Sure, if you enjoyed it for 10 years.

The growing distance between practices during era this game was produced and greatly improved upon in and current practices by this company. :(

Clearly next to nothing is aimed towards those who purchase. They've become the bogeyman.

Per someone who own(ed) multiple physical and Ubi storefront purchased games that cannot be played.
