French group sues Ubisoft over game shutdown

France's leading consumer association, UFC-Que Choisir, has filed a lawsuit against video game developer Ubisoft. The legal action stems from Ubisoft's decision to shut down its online racing game, 'The Crew'. The game was delisted from digital marketplaces in December 2023, and its servers were subsequently deactivated. This lawsuit highlights consumer rights concerns regarding the discontinuation of online services for purchased games and the potential impact on players who invested time and money into the title.
