Ubisoft holds firm in The Crew lawsuit: You don’t own your video games | Plaintiffs bring up a new claim, too, in amended complaint


Ubisoft shut down The Crew in 2024

Included in the response are a few pictures of The Crew ’s video game packaging, presented to prove that Ubisoft has labeled at least some of its versions with the licensing note. Gavin Newsom signed a California bill into law in 2024 to force companies to more prominently display a note that consumers are buying a license and don’t technically own the game itself.
