Huh, TIL the crew was killed.
I only ever wanted a single player open world game and was disappointed I couldn’t reset my progress.
On December 14, 2023, Ubisoft announced that the servers will shut down after March 31, 2024, rendering the game unplayable; the game’s servers later shut down that day.

This price tracker shows they were selling the title up until the day of the EOL announcement in December.

As this EOL is unlikely to have been something they decided that morning it seems clear Ubi happy to sell the game to suckers knowing they would pull the plug 110 days later.

Yeah, I originally was hoping for a singleplayer mode and realized that it didn’t have any way to reset player progress. Ubisoft needs to realize that MMOs aren’t meant to have sequals so often and are meant to support them for a long time and instead release expansions, look at Runescape, WoW, and Guild Wars 1 for examples.
