Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Lmao, fuck licenses; pirate it, and we'll make our own servers.
They can't do shit then
Afaik there is no crack for The Crew because it stored your progress on ubisoft's server and has no local save data.
So if we need to somehow pirate it we need to break ubisoft drm and rediect the calls for savedata that are supposed to be sent to the servers to a local storage
There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden "production mode" where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn't been up yet. ~~Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though.~~ Looks like it picked up some steam again: https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4306075118785997064/
