In early July, video game developer Ubisoft announced it would decommission paid downloadable content (DLC) and multiplayer online services for many of its video games starting September 1st. Some games with offline capabilities, such as Assassin's Creed: Liberation and Driver: San Francisco, will still remain playable for consumers who have purchased and downloaded the game. Many of Ubisoft’s games were not free-to-play; consumers purchased the game through Steam, a video game digital distribution service.
