Ubisoft demandada por los derechos de The Crew

Nov 18,2025 Autor: Joseph

Ubisoft ha aclarado que comprar un juego no otorga a los jugadores derechos de propiedad ilimitados, sino que proporciona una "licencia limitada para acceder al juego".

La empresa realizó estas declaraciones mientras buscaba desestimar una demanda interpuesta por dos jugadores insatisfechos de The Crew, quienes emprendieron acciones legales después de que el juego de carreras original fuera discontinuado el año pasado.

La versión de 2014 de The Crew ya no se puede jugar. Ya sea física o digital, incluidas las copias existentes, el juego no se puede comprar ni jugar de ninguna manera, ya que los servidores se cerraron por completo en marzo de 2024.

Ubisoft introdujo modos sin conexión para The Crew 2 y su sucesor The Crew: Motorfest, ofreciendo acceso continuo a los jugadores, pero no se proporcionó tal actualización para el título original.

El año pasado, dos jugadores llevaron a Ubisoft a los tribunales, alegando que creían que estaban "pagando para poseer The Crew permanentemente", en lugar de adquirir una licencia por tiempo limitado.

"Imagina comprar una máquina de pinball y, años después, entrar en tu sala de juegos para encontrar que las paletas faltan, la bola y los topes han desaparecido, y la pantalla de puntuaciones máximas ha sido removida", declaró la demanda original.

Según informó Polygon, los demandantes acusaron a Ubisoft de violar la Ley de Publicidad Engañosa de California, la Ley de Competencia Desleal, la Ley de Remedios Legales para el Consumidor, además de cometer "fraude según la ley común e incumplimiento de garantía". También argumentaron que Ubisoft violó las normas estatales sobre tarjetas de regalo que no expiran.

Los reclamantes señalaron además imágenes que mostraban el código de activación del juego con una fecha de caducidad del 2099, lo que, según alegaron, implicaba que el juego "permanecería jugable durante y más allá de ese período".

Como era de esperar, Ubisoft disputa estas alegaciones.

"Los demandantes alegan que compraron copias físicas de The Crew creyendo que tendrían acceso permanente e irrestricto. También objetan que Ubisoft no lanzó un 'parche para un jugador sin conexión' cuando los servidores se desconectaron en marzo de 2024", escribió el equipo legal de Ubisoft.

"El argumento central es que, supuestamente, Ubisoft indujo a error a los compradores haciéndoles creer que estaban adquiriendo derechos de propiedad total, no una licencia limitada. En realidad, los clientes recibieron lo que pagaron y fueron informados claramente en el momento de la compra de que estaban comprando una licencia".

La respuesta también señala que el embalaje de Xbox y PlayStation incluía "un aviso prominente, en mayúsculas, que establece que Ubisoft puede discontinuar el acceso a ciertas funciones en línea con un preaviso de 30 días".

Ubisoft ha presentado ahora una moción para desestimar el caso. Si la demanda procede, los demandantes han solicitado un juicio con jurado.

Plataformas como Steam ahora incluyen avisos por adelantado que informan a los clientes de que están comprando una licencia, no el juego en sí. Este cambio se produjo después de que el Gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, firmara una legislación que exige a los mercados digitales que aclaren que las compras de medios solo otorgan una licencia.

Es importante señalar que la nueva ley no impide que las empresas revoquen el acceso al contenido, pero sí exige transparencia sobre la naturaleza de la compra antes de que los clientes completen su transacción.

Rust's latest major update, known as "The Overgrowth", significantly expands the game's farming and cooking systems, introducing deeper mechanics and more immersive gameplay for survival enthusiasts. Released in 2024, this update transforms Rust from a purely combat-focused survival game into a more balanced experience that rewards long-term strategy, resource management, and base-building. Key Additions in the Farming & Cooking Update: 🌱 Enhanced Farming Mechanics Crop Variety: New crops like wheat, potatoes, carrots, and even experimental biotech plants (e.g., glowing mushrooms) that grow under specific conditions. Soil Quality & Fertilizers: Players must now test and enrich soil using compost, animal manure, or chemical additives to boost yields. Seasonal Cycles: Dynamic weather and seasonal changes affect growth rates—crops grow faster in summer, slower in winter, and some require frost to germinate. Automated Irrigation: New pipe and pump systems allow for automated watering, reducing tedium and increasing efficiency. Pest Management: Infestations from insects and animals (e.g., rats, slugs) threaten crops, requiring traps, repellents, or natural predators. 🍲 New Cooking & Food System Recipe Crafting: Players can now combine ingredients to create complex meals with health, stamina, and resistance bonuses. Cooking Stations: New structures like stoves, ovens, and fermentation tubs offer better food quality and allow for multi-step recipes (e.g., bread → bread with cheese → smoked cheese loaf). Nutrition & Satiety: Eating balanced meals improves base performance. Starvation now causes debuffs like slowed movement and reduced crafting speed. Fermentation & Preservation: Use barrels and cold storage to ferment meat and vegetables into jerky, sauerkraut, and wine—extending shelf life and unlocking unique buffs. Specialty Dishes: Recipes like "Bacon-Wrapped Stew" or "Honey-Infused Brew" provide powerful, temporary effects (e.g., +30% healing, regeneration). 🛠️ New Structures & Tools Greenhouses & Hydroponics: Climate-controlled farming buildings for year-round crop production. Tool Upgrades: New gardening hoes, seed planters, and pest spray dispensers improve farming efficiency. Animal Husbandry: Introduce and breed animals (chickens, pigs, goats) for eggs, milk, and meat—raising them requires shelters, feed, and protection. 🌿 Environmental Integration Ecosystem Interactions: Overgrowth introduces new flora that can be harvested for medicinal herbs, dyes, and crafting components. Biome-Specific Farming: Different regions (forests, deserts, tundras) offer unique growing opportunities and challenges. Impact on Gameplay Encourages Base Longevity: Players now have more incentive to stay in one base and build sustainable food sources rather than constantly raiding. New Social Dynamics: Farming communities form around shared resources, trade hubs, and cooperative crop management. Tactical Depth: Raiders now target farms, so defense becomes crucial—turrets, watchtowers, and crop camouflage are now viable strategies. Developer Statement "We wanted to make Rust feel more like a true survival experience—not just surviving the world, but shaping it. The Overgrowth update turns farming and cooking into core pillars of the game, opening new possibilities for cooperation, innovation, and long-term progression." — Rust Lead Designer, Alex Vickers Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to Rust, The Overgrowth update invites you to grow, cook, and thrive in a world where every meal could mean the difference between life and death. 🌱 Update now available on PC. 🎮 Console versions coming in 2025.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Game of Thrones or HBO regarding a "Kingsroad Demo" that has shocked players. However, if you're referring to a recent rumor, teaser, or fan speculation about a new Game of Thrones video game—particularly one set on the iconic Kingsroad (the main road from King's Landing to the North)—here’s what might be happening: Possible Context Behind the "Kingsroad Demo Shock": New Game of Thrones Game in Development: There has been growing interest in a new Game of Thrones video game, potentially developed by a major studio (e.g., Naughty Dog, CD Projekt Red, or a new team from HBO). Rumors have circulated about a first-person RPG or action-adventure game set in Westeros, possibly featuring characters from the prequel series (House of the Dragon) or original storylines. Demo Leaked or Teased?: If a "Kingsroad Demo" has "shocked players," it may be: A leaked gameplay video from a rumored project. A teaser from a recent gaming convention (like The Game Awards or Gamescom). A fan-made mod or simulation that went viral, mistakenly believed to be official. Why the Shock? Players might be stunned by: Unrealistic graphical fidelity for a Game of Thrones title. A gameplay style that diverges from traditional fantasy RPGs (e.g., fast-paced combat, open-world exploration). A narrative twist or character reveal that contradicts established lore. The use of a new engine (like Unreal Engine 5) making the world feel more immersive than ever. Current Official Projects: Game of Thrones: Conquest (a mobile game) exists but isn’t a deep RPG. HBO has confirmed a House of the Dragon video game in development (likely by a partner studio), but details are scarce. What to Do Next: Check official sources: HBO’s Games page or trusted outlets like IGN, GameSpot, or The Verge. Look for official trailers or developer statements—many "shocking demos" are fan edits or deepfakes. Be cautious of misinformation: Viral videos of "new GoT games" often turn out to be fake or from unrelated projects. Conclusion: While a "Kingsroad Demo" hasn’t been officially released as of now, the excitement around a new Game of Thrones game is real. Fans are eager for a high-quality, lore-rich RPG that captures the grit and drama of Westeros. If a demo truly did shock players, it would likely be a sign of a major new entry in the franchise—possibly one that could redefine how fans experience Game of Thrones in interactive form. Stay tuned to official HBO and gaming news channels for updates.

As of now, there is no official confirmation that Princess Peach’s voice actor has been replaced on the Switch 2 (also known as the Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch Pro), nor that she has been excluded from Mario Kart World. In fact, such a claim would be highly unusual and unlikely given Nintendo's strong commitment to maintaining continuity in its flagship franchises. Here’s what we know based on current information: Princess Peach is still voiced by Tress MacNeille in most recent Mario games, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Odyssey. She has been the primary voice of Peach since 2013. Nintendo has not announced any changes to the voice cast for the upcoming Switch 2 or any new Mario Kart titles. The idea of a "Mario Kart World" — a full-scale, global multiplayer online game — has not been officially announced by Nintendo. The franchise continues to release localized versions of Mario Kart on existing platforms. Conclusion: The statement you mentioned appears to be a rumor, satire, or misinformation. As of now, there is no credible evidence supporting that Princess Peach’s voice actor has been replaced or that she’s been excluded from new Mario games. Always check trusted sources like Nintendo’s official website, IGN, GameSpot, or Nintendo Direct presentations for accurate updates. Let me know if you’d like a breakdown of who voices Peach over the years or rumors about the Switch 2!

This is a deeply emotional and significant moment for fans of the Mario franchise — not just because of the departure of a beloved voice actor, but because it reflects a broader, quietly unsettling trend in how Nintendo handles its long-standing crea
