I've been comfortable with not owning Ubisoft games for years
Thanks Ubisoft exec, but I've been comfortable with piracy the whole time
Game companies need to get comfortable with piracy
: "Phew, thought it was news about a game with a black protagonist for a second."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.
🏴☠️⚓🦜 yarr!
I made the mistake of getting Child of Light on Steam because it was on sale for like $5 and then got stuck in a recurring loop of needing to log in through Uplay only to run into some error code.
If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing
It's especially weird that companies are still like this after seeing the success of a game like Baldurs Gate 3. The runaway hit of the year, and biggest earner on Steam, doesn't even implement the basic Steam DRM. I tried it. The game launches and runs just fine when Steam isn't running at all. It's so messed up how capitalism leads to that (providing good products at fair prices and respecting your audience) being seen as an "unsustainable business model."
Yeah but that would require them to actually invest in making genuinely good games, which is a nonstarter.
Execs will have to get comfortable with the idea of us beheading them with a guillotine, soon.
oh, ok
then they should get comfortable with everyone pirating their games
or better yet, just not playing their shitty games
Get comfortable with me not buying any of your games
well, that aint fair is it? i haven't played a Ubisoft game in years
Hey Ubisoft you could just try making good games instead
They need to get more comfortable with me not paying for my games
Ubisoft execs will need to get comfortable with "people not buying [their] shitty games."
The idea of paying premium prices for a product that you don't actually own, and that gaming companies in the past have screwed their users out of by de-listing games from various storefronts, is absurd, but especially absurd coming from a company that hasn't released a worth-a-shit game in about a decade or more.
Judging by the number of people playing games like Destiny 2, I'd say they are already pretty comfortable with the idea.
No lose, Ubisoft games are overproduced garbage.
Okay, then I won't buy them.
If ubisoft doesn’t like people to own stuff then why do they like to get owned by critics all the time?
Permanently Deleted
when was the last time ubisoft made a game worth playing? last decade?
Yeah probably Valiant Hearts or something? So like 2014.
Anno 1800 but they're just publishers so not realy.
It took 5-10 years but eventually I got to a point where I never touched a torrent. It took less than a year for me to go 100% back, and with bigger and better resources than ever. If the internet shuts off I still have all my music, movies, shows, games, even info like Wikipedia I have stored as real 1s and 0s and spinny metal plates.
Game companies, like other media companies (eg film), need to realize they can't act like landlords. Entertainment is a discretionary expense. People will just stop paying for trash games eventually. Kind of like how most streaming services just didn't make it. Also fuck landlords
I dont own any ubisoft games so i guess in way i am used to it 🤗
