Just play old games. Many will let you self host!

Neverwinter nights anyone?

The campaign plans to get France's consumer rights agency to rule against Ubisoft's killing of The Crew, making game publishers have to leave games at least partially functional when online service ends (or else risk legal action & costs).

France has strong consumer protections, Europe doesn't treat EULAs as very legally serious, and Ubisoft was selling the game mere months before they "discontinued online service", which also stopped the single player mode from working.

And France's consumer protection agency accepts complaints from international customers, too, in English.

So, no, don't just keep your head down & "play old games". This is a perfect chance to actually fix shit.

I had no idea they killed The Crew like that, insane.
