Ubisoft is delisting The Crew 1 after nearly a decade, but even worse, existing owners will no longer be able to play as of March 2024.

Even people who bought it physically!?

Well, it relies on servers to play it on, so I'm pretty sure that yes, even people who bought it physically will be locked out.

It requires a connection to the servers to play the single player.

So yes, even people who bought a physical version lose the ability to play the game.

Tl;dr: DRM sucks, buying does not imply owning.
