An Ubisoft response and its lawyers to the statements of a current demand, several of the crew players affected by the closing of the game have arisen, and is an interesting reading, although quite depressing if you are still under the illusion that you really have any of the games you have bought.
If you are outside the cycle, this legal battle has been moving since last year, when Ubisoft went to the needles online the online driving game that cited “necessary due to the next server infrastructure and licenses limitations.” That led two players to accuse Ubisoft of violating California consumer protection laws, hence this judicial case that is what constitutes a game and what you are really paying when you buy one.

Will, in this response to the demand issued in February of this year, which has come to light now thanks to Polygon, Ubisoft is quite clear that he believes that the players were not right to believe they were buying “property without restrictions.”
“To the extent that it contains any substantive indication that you have on the reasonable consumer standard,” he says about Passage, “the complaint indicates that a reasonable modern video game consumer would completely understand that they were buying a limited license to reproduce the crew. The warnings of the containers that Ubisoft could” cancel access “to the game and that the software is’ subject to the license to Idea of the idea of the idea of letting tasting stops fusins. “
Something related to that, there is another passage that caught me the reading of the answer, and involves the slogan you will find in the back of the game box. “In his most desperate, Mary,” Ubisoft wrote, “the plaintiffs claim that Ubisoft represented that consumers were obtaining full property of the game by including the motto ‘never driving only’ in the packaging. That statement is an assent for the social nature of the crew and multiplayer function of the game.
Damn, inactable. There is a phrase that you do not see every day, and I will definitely now be using to describe any slogans or videogame slogans with which I find myself.
Anyway, the plaintiffs, who are the players, responded to this with a one -way complaint issued on March 18, which brought new accusations about the currency of the crew game and that Ubisoft implied that the game can be played during the long range of its packaging citing an activation code such as not expiring until 2099. Ubisoft now has until April 29 to broad argument of rumors.
