If they wanted to go the full "licensed service provider" route they should have updated the game with a lot more new content, instead of shutting it down and releasing another full-priced version. Ubisoft and EA and other companies killing a software to release "software 2" is just another way to make money, an evil way at that.
It happened that some companies updated their games with new graphics, new gameplay, new content, without resorting to remaking/remastering them or even releasing DLCs. I take The Witcher 3 or For Honor by Ubisoft even, for example (although the latter is loaded with seasons and microtransactions, the game has already been completely overhauled).
The Crew 2, Destiny 2, "other games 2-3-4-5-etc." are just another dishonest way to make more money on the back of players. Nothing justifies not simply updating a game if it is already considered only a *service* by the company.
