Ubisoft believes that players don't buy games, they rent them

Ubisoft was recently sued because the company decided not only to stop supporting one of its projects (The Crew 2), but to take away the right to launch it from customers.

After that, dissatisfied users went to court with a claim, demanding compensation for expenses. Ubisoft's lawyers, unable to come up with anything smarter, decided to respond in the spirit of the fact that players do not buy games, but rent them. Therefore, developers have every right to take away their purchase and not compensate for expenses.

However, according to Ubisoft's own statements, games are rented until 2099. In addition, sometimes projects are purchased in the form of gift certificates, which, according to California law, have no statute of limitations.

Isn't it time to shut down this sharashkina office?
