Ubisoft, a well-known game company, recently announced that it will terminate the online service of 91 games, including the multiplayer online features of some games and the game's various challenge rewards on Ubisoft Connect. However, the offline content of the game itself will not be affected in any way, and the online services terminated by some games will be limited to certain platforms.
The 91 games affected this time are basically old games, some even running on PS2 or Wii, but there are also some games that have been launched in recent years, such as "Just Dance 2018". There are also some well-known games on the list, including the initial Far Cry, Assassin's Creed 2, Eagle Strike 2, and I Am Alive.
Ubisoft said the online multiplayer service of the 91 games on certain platforms will be terminated, and in-game news and player data will be disabled. If Ubisoft Connect is required for any games, the challenges associated with those games and the Units virtual currency will also be disabled, meaning that players cannot earn Units by completing the challenges of these games. In addition, unlockable content corresponding to the game, such as maps and skins, will also be disabled, and players will no longer be able to obtain unlocked content. On pc platforms, if the player already has unlockable content, the content will be disabled at the same time, but on the host platform, unless the player actively resets the saved disk, the unlockable content that the player already owns will continue to be used.
Although no game company will always serve games, there are many games whose online content is also of great significance to the history of games. And most game companies will not give the tools needed to maintain the online service of the game to the community to use, which makes this part of the history and achievements with the termination of the online service will go with the wind, which is also a sad thing.
