Ubisoft announced it has shut down the online multiplayer services for 91 games. The offline features for the games will remain available to play.

Woah, kudos to them for even having some of those old games still online. There’s a PlayStation 2 Rainbow Six on there.
That's a ton of stuff.
Yay! Zombie-U survives!
There were still supporting online for Wii U games? That was pretty generous of Ubisoft. EA shutdown their Wii U Madden server over 5 years ago.
Who was playing Haze MP right now?
Is that the very first Ghost Recon game from 2001?
It's frustrating reading all these Xbox 360 (and even some Xbox One) games having online functionality removed. Games that use the in-built Xbox Live matchmaking can have their online functions work essentially forever (for as long as Microsoft keeps the service up and supporting the Xbox 360, which they have for 16.5 years and counting, even for 360 launch games with online play).
It's only games that introduce custom servers for their games where this becomes a problem. Does Just Dance require custom servers? How about Ghost Recon? I "get it" if it's a game with a persistent world, like MechAssault 2, but something like a dance game, or a bog-standard military shooting game? That sounds like Ubisoft trying to exercise more control, rather than adding value to consumers, by doing so.
Something to keep in mind when purchasing a game, that if it asks you to sign up for an EA account or an Ubi account to play online, and doesn't offer you some kind of persistent world or other gameplay enhancement in exchange for doing so, you're actually losing out vs. buying another game that uses standard Xbox Live matchmaking.
Sad to see Settlers 7 loose support... Considering it's sequel is still being made.
Some really old titles in this list, which is good to see from a support perspective.
Great, but let's still pray for an all digital future.
That has nothing to do with what's going on. They aren't removing these games from any store front and can still be bought. It's the online service being shut down so owning the game as a physical or digital copy doesn't make a different.
I know the difference, but still anything you don't own and just loan a digital license can suffer similar fate.
