    The Crew’s servers, scheduled for Sunday March 31, represents a “gray area” in videogame consumer law that he would like to challenge.

    I think the argument to make is that The Crew was sold under a perpetual license, not a subscription, so we were being sold a good, not a service

    the seller rendered the game unusable and deprived it of all value after the point of sale.

    Goddam right, that’s not a grey area IMO, that shit ought to be illegal. Maybe there should be a term, like let’s say 90 years maybe?

      My personal favorite is the “companies are obligated to support it forever, or open source the server software hosted by a third party, hosting paid for up front for at least a year.”

      They get to keep my money forever don’t they?
