Uplay is a great deal. When there is a Ubisoft game you want to play, you subscribe for a month, then you cancel.
They also have a remarkably inane DLC protection scheme for several games, which means for those you can simply buy the base game then unlock all the DLCs yourself.
What if it takes you more than a month to get through the game? What if you take a break? Better make sure that subscription is paid for when you get back to it
Fuck this pay per minute shit
I’m generally “done” with their games pretty quickly. So a 1 month Ubisoft + subscription when I have an urge for one or more of their games works for me.
I also find the rental model to be more honest than “you’re buying a limited license that lasts forever or until we say it doesn’t”.
As even a lot of games on disc aren’t fully on the disc.
It sucks for preservation. I also don’t understand how it’s remotely profitable based on the subscription price and how much it costs to make games.
Presumably Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA et al are currently all eating the cost until they have enough of the userbase used to the subscription model so they can start jacking up prices, introducing ad-supported tiers or whatever else awful shit they've got cooking
This current honeymoon period with its quote unquote incredible value will not last
Yeah. Everyone is doing the Netflix.
- Undercharge
- Run competition out of business
- Become monopoly
- Jack up prices to where it’s profitable
It’s going bad for everyone trying it as it’s taking too long to work.
