| Quote: | We are constantly assessing what’s needed to deliver the best possible online services for Ubisoft’s customers. Shutting the services for some older games with smaller online audiences is a necessary part of this process, since it allows our IT and service staff to better focus on delivering great online experiences to the vast majority of customers who are playing newer, more popular titles. Still, we don’t take the decision to retire services for older Ubisoft games lightly, and we understand some of you may be disappointed by this news. We are happy to have fans that are as committed as you have been to these brands and titles, and we hope that you'll find more recent or upcoming Ubisoft games which you can be equally as passionate about. Thank you for your understanding and your support.
Here are a few more specific details:
1. The multiplayer online services for the title will be shut down but the solo features will remain available.
2. Any In-game News and Player Stats services will be shut down.*
3. If the game is Ubisoft Connect-enabled:*
The Ubisoft Connect service will no longer be available for the game on consoles.
Units (the Ubisoft Connect currency) and Actions for the game will be disabled, meaning you will no longer be able to earn Units by completing Actions for the game.
Rewards will be disabled in-game, meaning that you can still unlock them, but you will not receive them. If you unlock them after the closure of the online service for the game, please feel free to contact our Customer Support team to be refunded.
4. The ULC will be disabled, meaning that you will no longer be able to unlock them. On PC, even if you have redeemed them, the ULC will no longer be available. On consoles, the ULC will be available until you decide to reset your saved game files.*
5. Players having in-game currency should use it within the 60 days period. There won’t be any refund on unused in-game currency.*
*This is only relevant for games that include this function or feature.

Exactly - and seriously, how much space does it take for them to leave rewards for the games online?

If you want online connectivity, what's the alternative though. Everything relies on some kind of service running. Even if you'd use fully decentralized p2p for connecting people (often slow), where would you store stats and other stuff? Things need a server somewhere, whatever you're running it on, everything becomes obsolete at some point.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

How dare you take my $40 for a game and only keep the free server for online around for only 10+ years.

I dont think its about how much its costing them. It's about how much it's making them. And how many people use it. So many old games we still play, go into MP and there is 1 or 2, if your lucky people playing online.
Most games I can see it even from a personal standpoint. If I was hosting a server for say minecraft, or ark. And only a handful of people logged in a couple times a month for a few hours. I'd take it down just for the release of hassle of keeping it up and updated.

I was more thinking about games where you unlock rewards. Singleplayer games that is.
Edit: If you read the article and check the list you will see that its not all about multiplayer.

Ah yea sorry. I read it but that part didn't register as the important part as I (myself) never really care about those parts of games.

But still, removing the option to play multiplayer in the listed games is quite anoying. Heroes Of Might and Magic V - how fun will this be to play without multiplayer? Atleast give the option to direct connect (which it ofc might already have though).

Can't they just enable multiplayer option for folks who want to direct-IP play or so?

And yet you, based retards, keep buying their shitty product and thus supporting this kind of shit. If they can pull all kinds of disgusting shit like that and it wont make a dent in their revenue then what do they have to be afraid of? Nothing, they are kings of the market and can do as they please. Pay up, piggie.
