We have been reading your comments, and it's time for an update: discover the latest news from Ubisoft Ivory Tower regarding the future offline modes coming ...
Seems Ubisoft have followed through on their promises.
So… will this mean we’ll finally be able to restart as a new player in the offline mode? I’ve wanted to start from scratch with TC2 for ever. It’s been such a frustration that you can’t have more than one player profile per Ubisoft account.
To be fair, the update itself was announced last year (here is a random IGN article about the announcement) after people started complaining about upcoming shutdown of the first game (which in turn spawned the Stop Killing Games initiative).
Not that this makes the filing irrelevant but it’s not some knee-jerk reaction thrown together on the spot. Besides, game built with online components in mind calling servers once a minute isn’t really that crazy (whether that should be a thing for a single player mode is a different matter).
The case by noyb referenced single player games. Stuff like session start, duration et cetera was being tracked.
I was one of the people that signed the SKG initiative after The Crew was taken offline. Not because I loved the game so much but it’s the principle. I payed for it and should still be able to play it.
Ah, I see. I thought it was specifically related to TC2. Thanks for clarifying.
I haven’t played or owned TC but game preservation is an important topic for me so I also signed and tried to popularise it as much as possible. I don’t expect much but every attempt is important.

So they CAN do something nice. Wish it didn’t come down to a gigantic lawsuit for them to do it though
Let’s hope other studios get worried. We do have power if we all collectively work against a company.
Hahahahahaha I FUCKIN KNEW they could do it
Stop killing games was successful
On the same day noyb files a complaint including an accusation that in just 10 minutes, a single player game called to the servers 150 times
