It's insane that Ubisoft was legally able to delete our game licenses for this game which was, for the most part, the best single-player open-world racing game. And with decent story at that. Please bring it back on GOG without online requirement.
I've spent hours playing this game with my best friend, we finished most of the game together and had tonnes of fun. We paid full price for the crew 2 when it first came out but we tried it and it just wasn't the same, sure it was newer with more features but it didn't have the same feel to it. Was disappointed when I heard that Ubisoft was closing down the servers and therefore shutting the entire game down... it seems silly to me that they didn't even give anyone a chance to run community-run servers or play a single player version of the game, which seems like it wouldn't have been difficult to add in. Alas, once again we have seen another game chucked in the trash far before it passed it's prime and with a still healthy player base without care or some effort to acknowledge a demand for a game that isn't even that old.... It's almost as if they truly believe The Crew 2 is the same game... they can't possibly expect us to believe that. The first game has far more soul, at least to me. We paid good money for a game that has now been taken from us. I'm really relieved that GOG has committed to giving us our games forever... not just a license until some large company decides to take it away without community input for the games future at all. Thank you GOG for working hard to taking care of games that most companies have long thrown in a dark closet somewhere or the trash. This isn't fast fashion, these are games that groups of people spent years creating. Maybe GOG can bring this game back to us players once again and potentially give us the option to have a local or community server that allows us to connect to one or two friends or something. Many games have that, even after their official servers were shut down. I really miss playing this game with my friend or even playing solo. It was quite a unique game and I loved speeding down the motorway with my friend, while I knocked away those plastic yellow trash bin like thingies... lots of fun :)
Why The Crew Deserves to Be on GOG and Why It’s the Best in the Series The Crew (2014) is not only the foundation of Ubisoft's open-world racing franchise—it’s also the most ambitious and unique entry in the series, making it a prime candidate for preservation on GOG. What set The Crew apart from the start was its massive recreation of the United States, allowing players to drive coast-to-coast through a condensed but impressively detailed map featuring iconic cities, rural towns, mountains, forests, and deserts. Few racing games have ever dared to offer that kind of scale. What makes The Crew the best in the series isn’t just the size of the world—it’s the sheer variety of experiences it delivers. From off-road adventures to highway chases and urban street racing, the game encourages exploration and rewards it with new challenges, hidden collectibles, and vehicle customization options. The seamless integration of multiplayer and single-player elements added a layer of depth that gave players freedom while still offering a strong, story-driven campaign. Its RPG-lite mechanics—like car leveling and performance tuning—added an addictive layer of progression. While later entries in the series refined the formula, many fans still consider the first Crew the most raw, focused, and creatively daring. Releasing The Crew on GOG would preserve a unique piece of racing game history, DRM-free, allowing fans to relive (or discover) its massive world and innovative gameplay without modern service limitations. It's a racing game that went beyond the track—it delivered an American road trip like no other

Digimon World 3
Digimon World 3Digimon World 3 is a role-playing video game created by Bandai for the PlayStation. You play as a child called Junior who enters an online virtual reality MMORPG called "Digimon Online", which is run by the "MAGAMI" corporation.

Unlike past Digimon World games, battles against wild Digimon are random and the battle system although turn-based is very different from Digimon World 2, the most notable distinction is battles are one on one instead of three on three although you may tag in a different Digimon, battles also feature three types of digivolution; normal, Blast, and DNA digivolution.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
