I'm all for improving consumer rights in the videogame industry, but I'm more than a little amazed anyone's willing to put up a fight for The Crew of all things.
He's rather critical of the game. He just really hates when games are lost forever.
Seems more to do with the way things line up--it's a perfect example of a physical and digital game getting permanently shut down without any sort of refund or compensation to the buyers of the game. It sounds like it's about setting precedent so people will have a better idea of how this kinda stuff is going to work in the future.
He just likes driving around and nothing more, it's his podcast/tourism game, but also the perfect one since it happened after he started this fight for preservation and it's not sold as service but as a product, unlike MMOs.
