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?

Or, maybe don’t force online requirement, and allow p2p. Or, better yet, open source the server now that it’s shut down and release a patch to specify where to connect.

Blacklight Retribution did this for their console version. Wish they woulda did it for the PC version but whatever.
