Just an FYI: A server emulator/private servers are years away, if they can happen at all.

The server emulator for The Crew 1 barely came out in September, despite being talked about years ago: https://thecrewunlimited.com/news/

Did you read my post? UBISOFT added an OFFLINE mode recently, so that it doesn't have to be online to play. I even tested it.

UBISOFT didn't make an offline mode for the first Crew game. That's why you couldn't play it after they shutdown the servers.

You can play offline. I literally just said that.

The multiplayer servers are still up to my knowledge, so your comment is irrelevant.

Who made you arbiter of the comment section?

Ubisoft only kept The Crew 1 servers up for 8 years, so it's very much relevant whether people want to go through that all over again.

Nobody cares about the offline mode.

I care about the offline mode. It's makes it worthy of more consideration and possibly worth of a buy. I wish all online games did this!

It's inherently a multiplayer game.

Adding an offline mode helps the value proposition by not buying a completely unplayable game, but you aren't getting the intended experience without multiplayer.

Would you play CoD only with bots? Solo WoW?

Ubisoft is just in it to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a quick cash grab.

Some of us didn't forget that most multiplayer games used to come with server software to keep games alive indefinitely.

I actually bought this game a while back to play solo. I'm also the weirdo that plays CoD zombies solo because I have a better time alone doing my thing than with other strangers completely ruining my fun. I don't like the way Ubisoft did The Crew 1 dirty, but by the same respect that's the beauty of gaming, I can play it a totally different way than everyone else and have a blast. It's all about what you want out of it.

If you mean to tell me that you bought the game prior to the offline mode being announced, then your argument doesn't hold as much water as you think it does and you're just being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian.

"I don't play that way" doesn't negate the fact that a majority of people play this for the multiplayer.

The game was marketed to have seasonal and live events from the get go.

Even if your intent was to never play it with other people, you're telling me that your expectation was to miss out on 90% of the promised content? Of course not. You experienced and paid for the "GaaS" portion of the game whether you played with people or not.

So while you can be "the weirdo" who pays extra for the extended crew cab only to drive nobody but yourself around, it's only the kind of head scratcher contrarianism that serves no one.

The bottom line is that Ubisoft could have provided software to host your own server if they cared about preserving the game.

Instead, what they likely did is add a cut down local server that just makes your game run worse and takes out one of the main draws.

And we should be praising them for feeding you back a tiny morsel of what they sold it as?

No, your missing my point. My point is online, offline, even if I miss 99% of the content, as long as I'm having fun, who cares? If someone is interested in the game, have at it. If someone sees a promised feature they want and it's not in the game, don't buy it. That's why I generally don't buy games day one, anyone can make promises, but having them delivered is a whole other ball game. And to be honest I only purchased it after doing my research and finding out about the offline mode because of the track record with The Crew 1.

If the game sold for $60 with online content, and then they took it offline and you can only access a small portion of the content offline for $5, is it still a good deal?

People were mad , because the whole game was disabled and they could no longer play a game that they paid for.

Not because of the online servers... 🤦 ♂️

Are you daft?

Is Fortnite still a game if the servers go down?

The servers WERE the game.

To say that it's not the same with the second game just because they added a half-assed offline local server that doesn't even support LAN play is major cope.

There's a reason people worked to restore multiplayer for the first game. And they'll have to do the same with the second game eventually.
