Ubisoft argues players don't own their games in wake of The Crew lawsuit
Company shut down servers and removed the game from customers' libraries last year
A hot potato: Many users already understand that buying a digital game typically grants a license to access the software – not true ownership. However, it's rare for publishers to revoke access to titles that customers have paid for, even after those games are delisted.

The Star Wars Outlaws effect
Recap: To say that Ubisoft isn't having a good time right now would be an understatement.
