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
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.
I rly wanna know if it ll run on the Deck then… As I understand it, the anti-cheat is stopping that at the moment, no?

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.
