I would normally not link to a tweet, but it’s from the YouTuber who is behind the global campaign that aims to prevent games companies from killing games people paid for:

It seems that Ubisoft is either doubling down on deleting this game in order to throw a wrench into preservation efforts and activism (even though it’ll achieve the polar opposite) - or that this was the plan all along and it’s just blindly being carried out, bad optics be damned.
I guess the news is that someone is finally setting up a campaign with an actionable plan to punish some of the shitty unethical practices. And every bit of news in that regard is more fuel for the fire to keep it from sizzling out.
