After Ubisoft shut down The Crew's servers, this group of modders began work to bring them back

After Ubisoft shut down The Crew's servers at the end of March, a group of modders decided to take matters into their own hands.

But, rather than remaining defeated by this news, a group of dedicated modders decided to take matters into their own hands - and began recreating the server-side software necessary to play The Crew online once again. Whammy4 called Ubisoft's decision to shut down The Crew's servers "completely unacceptable", adding this type of action from developers and publishers "seems to be an alarmingly rising trend" in the video game industry. In addition to shutting down servers, Ubisoft also reportedly started removing the game from owners' libraries and revoking their user licence in the process back in April.
