Dedicated fans have finished the server emulator. For now it’s single player only, but they want to release multiplayer later.

You have to get the actual game files yourself (for obvious reasons), but you can find them easily, for example in the internet archive.

I’m in the middle of the campaign right now, and so far it works flawlessly.

And since this was the only racing game I played on a regular basis, I am happy! Fuck you Ubisoft! Thank you dedicated fans!!

    I mean, good on people getting this up and running, but “in case you’ve been living under a rock” may overrepresent how much the average person wants to play The Crew.

      Fair, but I wanted to play it again and had been living under a rock, who knows who else missed this.

      And the deactivation of this game started the StopKillingGames campaign (which stays important regardless), there might be at least of few like me out there.

        No, for sure, it’s a good thing. I just found the expression funny in the context. The Crew is what it is.

          Yeah I’m feeling a little out of the loop here. I know of The Crew only because of it being the flashpoint starting Stop Killing Games. Is it supposed to be a timeless classic I’m missing out on?

            It’s a fun game with a huge open world, but it’s not a classic per se. It’s just nice to see a dead game running again.

            If Ubisoft had done this from the start… But it brought awareness to the topic, so in the end it’s good that they stayed true to their philosophy (of being dicks).
