It seems that Ubisoft is either doubling down on deleting this game in order to throw a wrench into preservation efforts and activism (even though it’ll achieve the polar opposite) - or that this was the plan all along and it’s just blindly being carried out, bad optics be damned.

Many people are not informed for how this stuff works. They see an open world racing game they can play with friends and don’t understand what’s needed to make that happen.
