With Walmart pulling physical games from the shelves and not even selling them too? Yeah I’m already looking for a tricorne and a cutlass
The biggest part about that is that it seems to be Microsoft pushing that and not Walmart.
Makes sense, Walmart doesn’t have much skin in the game.
Buried mine in the back yard a decade ago. I thought I’d left that life behind me.

Agreed
We should all be comfortable not owning or purchasing Ubisoft games
“We want your money, but we’ll do everything possible to discourage you from doing that”
Ok! 🏴☠️🦜
im already very used to not owning ubisoft games
I suppose one gets used to not paying for them after the first two-three downloads.
I’m okay with just not owning Ubisoft games. Why fucking pirate garbage anyhow? Nothing published by Ubisoft, EA, or Microsoft is worth owning.
Nah, they have a lot of good IP, it’s just they squander them and milk them until each is dead.
Maybe that’s why they don’t want people owning their games… Everyone would notice how the old ones are better.
I’d argue that the Anno series is worth having… but that’s literally about it these days

Ubisoft seems like one of the shittiest game companies. They were one of the earliest companies that implemented Always-on DRM, requiring an app to open chests, trying to put ads when you paused the game, refusing to put games on Steam because they want more money, sexual assault/harassment allegations etc.
requiring an app to open chests? what?
I’m glad I’ve been avoiding Ubisoft like the plague they are for all the other issues already.
It was some special kind of exclusive bonus chest thingy, it wasn’t as bad as he points it, it was like a bonus thingy you could ignore them. I honestly didn’t care for it at all.
I think it was similar to the mini game ships thing on Black Flag, but on your phone and sending assassins instead of ships and maybe solving some puzzles, can’t remember.
It made more sense as a phone app, because it was like on Black Flag you sent stuff and that would take x time and then you would get the results, so in a phone you would easily check the progress and maybe get a notification, instead of having to enter the game to check just that.
EDIT: It seems Black Flag also used an app, I played later and now it’s a thing in-game I guessed that was the original version honestly.
Yeah, in Assassin’s Creed Unity.
I am glad i stopped playing after black flag. Now i remember assassin’s creed as a cool series.
I really feel like I need to learn what games are typically theirs and just evade them as well. Disgusting.
Oh man, is that the companion app for black flag? I remember not being able to earn off game because you had to use it to command expeditions.
Oh wait that was an app as well? Oh I didn’t know that I just have played recently and the sending ships thingy is in-game now.
Guess I gotta replay it now.
Ah, I was talking about Unity which had some chests that you could only open with an app.
It was basically similar, but sending assassin’s instead of ships. And maybe some puzzles, can’t remember.
I don’t own it. I’m simply in possession of a copy of the game files
He said that for subscriptions to be more popular, people need to be “more comfortable with not owning their games”. People always forget the first part, if you take the whole quote, he’s right.
He didn’t say he wanted that to happen. But he probably do, so fuck Ubisoft and him.
I just don’t like how the whole internet built a narrative around an out of context quote.Even with the extra context, for him to be speaking in those terms, means that it’s something they’ve at least considered. In order for subscription based games to be more popular they need to not suck so much ass.
he probably do, so fuck Ubisoft and him
I mean probably fuck him, but that’s still a weird phrase.
Eh, not really. Always Online DRM is going to be even more of a thing in the future than it is now. It’ll be so baked into the application that any attempt at patching it will take so long that it’ll exceed the normal lifetime of the game itself.
This denuvo is already taking almost a year per game, and several are using it.
Funny seeing so many upset people and yet when another feather collecting game drops people will rush to buy platinum exclusive pre-release edition with booster packs for only 100€ and shell out additional money to fix some other problem Ubisoft purposely made to milk people. This is not the first time they had creative ideas on how to take more of people’s money or to rob them of their games, and yet here they are one of the biggest game publishers and developers.
Believe it or not, the Internet is a big place. They are not the same people.
Ok, get used to me stealing your car.
Already am
Thanks to the penny pinchers that work at Kia…

Don’t believe the bullshit about port forwarding, port forwarding is a security hole. People can maliciously plant things on your system if you have port forwarding enabled.
Qbittorrent, set it to only put traffic through your VPN’s network adapter.
Sorry…I just blacked out…Did I say anything just now? You should never pirate anything, that would be immoral.
What they really mean is ligma
I’m a scallywag. Pinching your purse, that is my bag.
I honestly wonder, if there was a stock ticker for the used game market to analyze, anytime an article like the Ubisoft thing comes out, if it makes game resale prices spike.
