The Crew
The Crew
You might choose to pirate the game, purchase it via Steam for $9.99, or get a used copy. Each method would result in Ubisoft receiving very little to no revenue.
I won't be purchasing that nonsense. It's enough with Ubisoft—they charge ridiculous prices (over 90 dollars) and often the games don't function properly due to server issues or heavy loads. Eventually, they just ignore the problem.
I don't understand the strong dislike for this game. I find it amazing, especially the mmo-racing format and customization options. Surely the frame-rate limitation isn't great, but perhaps it was just set during beta testing—who knows? Honestly, in my view, the gameplay helps make the FPS restriction less noticeable for me.
I don't believe it's fair to skip a game just because someone advises against it. With your and others' negative views on a certain developer, it doesn't change that. Even if they've faced some recent issues or made poor choices, I've really liked many Ubisoft titles over the last ten years. I think they still have a chance to turn things around, and I'm definitely going to purchase The Crew and the upcoming Assassin's Creed games.
