[Steam]The Crew™ new historical low for $4.49 at a discount -85%

The game will remain playable until March 31st, 2024, for all The Crew owners. After this date, the game servers will shut down, which means the game will not be accessible anymore.

The game's servers will close next year and, being an online-only game, it will stop working at all

Too much trouble to patch out the online functionality? Really? Hackers/community will have it working offline in short order.

My first instinct was to be really upset by this but I probably wouldn't have ever played it if they hadn't done this, now that it has an "expiration date" I feel the need to go ahead and play it while I can instead of it sitting in my humongous backlog. I won't ever buy The Crew 2 after this crap but I guess there is a small silver lining.

Nowadays, whenever I read about a new "historical low" I'm asking myself is it for the game studio or the price of a game?

Oh this is going to enrage Ross Scott. It is sad to see yet another piece of video game history potentially become inaccessible even to those who already "own" the game.
