Stopkillinggames.com has been making far more news than I anticipated, but this might be the first article that's because of something new Ubisoft is doing, not us. I encourage anyone interested in the law in Europe especially to analyze this behavior.

I'm getting reports that people are having The Crew revoked on people's accounts on Ubisoft Connect. I'm not sure that even matters since they made it inoperable anyway, but many in Europe seem to think this is illegal. Maybe, doesn't change our plans either way, can only help.

To all Australian owners of 'The Crew':

Send me an email or twitter message so I have a way to contact you later. I don't need your personal info, but later we'll have a law firm you can send it to which will help on getting the ACCC's attention on game destruction.

Indeed, such a short-term shutdown should be illegal under EU law. As a #Pirate Member of the EU Parliament, I have now requested an official assessment…

I've just learned that it's safe to wait only 1 week with no response from Ubisoft about The Crew before contacting the DGCCRF instead of 2. The guides will get updated on it later.

50 second explanation of the game campaign!

Some people are having issues contacting Ubisoft support on The Crew. There could be some server overload, so it's fine if you wait a few days to try again. If they're intentionally blocking it, that + the shutdown message could be sufficient evidence, but we need proof first.

Campaign video to stop games from being destroyed! It's being done in a few ways, owners of the game 'The Crew' can help especially. Go to stopkillinggames.com for instructions on what to do. A much shorter version (50 seconds) will be up tomorrow.

Full campaign launch info + video coming in a couple hours, had some technical snags.

Thanks for those who sent copies of The Crew receipts. That was for a special phase of getting action taken. The main phase will be on April 2nd and onward, I'll have a bunch of info on it then.

If there are any owners of The Crew with a record of their purchase and willing to share personal contact information with me to be forwarded to a consumer agency, please email me (address at accursedfarms.com/contact). This is an extra push on top of what we'll be doing in April.

Here's the March videochat. This started after a chat talking just about the campaign to stop games being destroyed (video just prior to this). It's just the usual ramblings, nothing important.

I split the latest videochat into two segments. The first is discussing some updates on the campaign to stop games being destroyed. Link here:

Live videochat starting about half an hour at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. I'll be discussing the campaign on The Crew / getting governments to stop games from being destroyed for the first chunk, then just regular random chat questions afterwards.

The timing couldn't be much better since part of the campaign I'm working on will be to get as many Australians as possible to contact the ACCC about The Crew shutdown. Fingers crossed we can get their attention on consumer game destruction in April.

As someone who likes game soundtracks, I couldn't agree more on this statement. There's far more creativity on average in older game soundtracks than modern big budget ones. Thankfully a lot of indie titles fill the void.

Ask questions or topics to discuss in the link below for the next videochat with fans at 6pm UTC on Mar. 16th on twitch. I've been spending almost all time on the campaign to stop game destruction, but I'll get back to the regular videos as soon as I can.

The AF website will be down for a bit for maintenance, it will come back. Also I've been working almost nonstop on the campaign to stop games being destroyed, will have more details later on. We'll be pursuing a LOT of options, more than I originally thought.
