French group sues Ubisoft over game shutdown

France's leading consumer association, UFC-Que Choisir, has filed a lawsuit against video game developer Ubisoft before a French tribunal. The legal action follows Ubisoft's decision to shut down its online racing game, 'The Crew'. The company had previously delisted the title from digital marketplaces in December 2023 and subsequently ceased its online operations. This lawsuit raises questions about consumer protection and the rights of players when online services for purchased games are discontinued.
