    Thanks to the effort of a variety of Internet personalities (but
    mostly Ross Scott) bringing to attention how damaging 'always-online'
    games are to the consumer (and industry) it seems that Ubisoft is
    doing an about face, and actually adding an offline mode to "The Crew
    2". Sadly, it's too late to save the original (and much superior)
    original game, but it's a step in the right direction. I only hope
    this isn't just a one-time panacea tossed to the fans, and that we see offline modes added into other games as well. And maybe other
    developers take note too, please?

    Anyway, for what it's worth, you can grab "The Crew 2" for one dollar
    USD today. Even at that price, I'm not sure the game is worth it but
    if you've ever wondered about it, maybe now's the time to grab it.




    In my opinion, 'The Crew 2' does not worth a penny.
    I was very upset when they turn off the server for 'The Crew 1'.

    And I agree, the original was much superior.

    Not the car driving sim/game, right?

    The Crew 2 is $50 at Steam with mixed reviews.
