360 summary
  • Ubisoft argues that consumers were explicitly notified at the time of purchase that they were acquiring a limited license to access The Crew game, not unfettered ownership rights.
  • The response highlights that the Xbox and PlayStation packaging included a clear notice, in capital letters, stating that Ubisoft reserved the right to revoke access to specific online features with a 30-day prior notice.
  • Plaintiffs' claim of expecting perpetual access to the game is countered by Ubisoft's stance that consumers received the benefits of their purchase agreement, which was disclosed as a limited license.
