Since this is very relevant to what is soon going to happen to this game for no good reason (becoming completely unplayable even in a offline solo mode for people who BOUGHT the game) i'm here to signal boost the movement for stopkillinggames dot com
The movement is using the recent destruction of The Crew to push governments to make the practice of making games you paid for completely unplayable illegal and for devs to ensure players can play the games they PAID for even after they give up on them.

This is NOT a demand for publishers to keep their servers online, rather to ensure that publishers make sure their games can continue to work without their involvement after they've decided to abandon them (as is the case with Second Extinction). This game can be played solo, there's no reason for it to rely on company servers, heck multiplayer games CAN and HAVE had things like self hosting for decades, there's no reason for games like this to become completely unplayable.

If you bought The Crew, feel free to participate directly with the movement, it's as simple as following the steps on the website. If not, you can do what i'm doing and spread the word because this practice is unacceptable for a multitude of reasons, especially if you believe in the right to own things you bought with your own money.
