The Crew: Motorfest

The house raced 292 viewers in 2023 for The Crew: Motorfest, Ubisoft's Hawaiian racing festival sequel. The September 2023 launch streams explored Oahu's open world via themed playlists mixing street racing, off-road rally, and boat races. StreamerHouse appreciated the improved handling over The Crew 2 and the festival atmosphere, but couldn't ignore that Ubisoft had shut down The Crew 1's servers months earlier, killing a purchased game permanently. The streams had an underlying tension—this looks fun, but will Ubisoft delete it in five years? The year was 2023, post-Crew-1-shutdown, and every race carried the knowledge that live-service racing games have expiration dates. The 292 viewers watched cautiously, knowing Hawaiian sunsets can't be trusted when Ubisoft controls the server switch.
