      It’s not about this particular game.

      It’s about setting a precedent for games you do care about.

          Not in this case, seeing that progress is stored online.

          Who says that the game you care about tomorrow won’t do this next? Why be against an action/not care about something that can only benefit players now and in the long term?

            The games I care about all already have backup options. They’re all the kinds of games that attract people like me who will just fix them right away.

              I mean, God forbid Ubisoft gets its way and all games go this direction! Step up before you don’t get the choice to backup your games.

      The idea is that since the company is French and France has excellent consumer protection, The Crew is the best example of this practice to fight

      It’s not about whether the game is good, it’s about Ubisoft being French

      The Crew was great in its time. It was basically the bridge between Test Drive Unlimited (superior open world gameplay) and early Forza Horizon (superior driving physics). Later Forza Horizon games simply took all the good gameplay features from both TLU and The Crew and is unmatched in quality now.

      The Crew 2 was worse than both its predecessor and the competing Forza Horizon at that time, so if you were talking about that I’d half agree. But it’s still a problematic industry trend worth stopping.
