Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

Doesn't change the fact that the few fans it had can't play it ever again, game is still killed because it had no support for community servers, just matchmaking.

I for sure would prefer to host my own The Crew and not getting a refund.

I feel it's rather fair to give them a pass on this one. Games with a player base and longer than a passing fart of time in the market? Sure. This was a failed product. They issued refunds. This is a situation where pushing your luck just backs someone into a corner.

We can hope they'll flip the assets and remodel into another title.

I believe the game was 10 days old when they shut it down. There are no concord fans. You can't have fans in 10 days.
