The Crew, which was released in 2014 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, has been delisted without warning

Worthless post title.

And online services do not work. The Crew is only online. The game is unplayable and Steam can not save the game. You don’t own the games, we told you so, we told you dog.

going to bet that people are going to reverse-engineer the game’s communication protocol and create replacement servers before 2025

The people behind those reverse engineered servers are legends. I recently was able to play through the original Demon's Souls with fully working multiplayer which just blew my mind

Hopefully I can find a way to redownload it when I get another PC.

Delistings occur without warning because they don't want a bunch of people to buy at the last second and then get angry that their purchase won't work soon. Instead, they delist first, and then the only angry people are those who have been playing it for a long time. (And a few unlucky sots who just bought it randomly.)

........ I literally just re-downloaded it to play....

It's not a particularly good game, but I enjoy driving around for awhile aimlessly, and I've got the GTA5 map memorized by now.

Time flies man. I remember the hype for this game back in 2014 like it was yesterday

Ah damn. TC1 was a nice game to revisit every once in a while for the nice open world.

Tc2 was a pretty fun game, I got into it a while back and nearly 100%’d it. Hate to see them delist that one

Fleeing from the cops listening to "Royal's" Good times.
