      More like, company keeps pushing for short-term profits, runs out of goodwill built up in the past.

        Ubisoft had many long standing issues, but disowning The Crew users was the worst possible move they could have made in their already dire situation.

          I played and enjoyed both of them, shutting down the first one instead of giving it offline functionality really pissed me off and was the final straw for me with Ubi. It had a fully offline playable story, NPC vehicles to race etc. and the game would’ve been preserved forever.

          Instead we got the crew 2, always online AAA signature garbage.

      It was also during that time when they talked about getting into Crypto, NFTs, and all sorts of other get rich quick schemes.

      Now look at them.
