Ubisoft is cutting off online gameplay for 15 games, players will no longer have access to purchased DLC
Ubisoft has stated that the online services for 15 games will be decommissioned on September 1. Users will no longer be able to play the multiplayer and co-op modes in these games, linking accounts and online features will no longer work, and, worst of all, users will lose access to DLC they purchased.
These games' online components will cease to function on PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360. The remastered editions of Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 will continue to function normally, but you will need to purchase them if you only own the original versions. While the most of these games are over a decade old, Space Junkies is a remarkable exception, having only been released three years ago. It's a multiplayer-only VR game that Ubisoft is still selling (for as much as $20) despite the fact that it will become entirely unplayable in two months.

Ubisoft strikes again. From this company at this point I'm not even mad... It is what I just expect from them, low level practices and incompetency all the time.
I already had my problems wiht them, like loosing progress on The Crew and The Crew 2 for some times and the support giving 0 help. The only other games I have from them is Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon, but those 2 were bought on Steam, and then it was my first time learning that I need 2 launchers to run a game...

Unfortunately, this is what was hated when games were moved to even services like Steam. One does not own the game anymore. One now pays to have access to play the game. When access ends, it ends. DLCs are part of that equation too. DLCs need the base game or are useless so why would they be considered any different than the main game itself. They are not doing anything evil. Ubisoft is just putting into practice what paying for access means. Is a pill not easy to swallow. Sever space is just like real estate, land, there is just so much of it. Does not matter if is a VM or not, it still takes up space. That space costs the same whether it is on an ancient decrepit server or a brand new shiny one. Operating costs are homogenized over the entire structure. Besides, when this has happened before all that was ever removed was the online portions. Correct me if am wrong, but are not DLCs always regarding online content...never adding to the single player campaign.
