Ubisoft is shutting down these games' multiplayer and DLC access, and one $40 multiplayer-only game from 2019 will be rendered unplayable.
of a selection of older games. I've compiled a list of the PC games affected, their release dates, and what features will be removed below:: multiplayer, linking accounts, online featuresAssassin's Creed Brotherhood: multiplayer, linking accounts, online features, access DLC: multiplayer, linking accounts, online features, access to DLC: co-op multiplayer, linking accounts, online features, access to DLCAs a multiplayer only title, you will be unable to play the game going forward.
However, cutting off DLC and, in one case, an entire game is troubling. Space Junkies, the multiplayer VR shooter, cost $40 at release and remains available for sale on Steam, with no notice that it will be rendered unplayable in two months. If NFTs haven't been thoroughly debunked enough already, seeing Ubisoft completely end these services makes the company's Quartz NFT initiative even more absurd. What happens to that blockchain-backed investment once the game it's attached to shuts down, and the crypto booster pipe dream of a single NFT being used across multiple games never materialized?
This mass decommissioning also demonstrates the preservation issues inherent to walled garden online services. You can still enjoy online games significantly older than the ones listed thanks to their support for private servers. It's worth remembering that every live service game will one day stop getting official support and eventually shut down.
