Ubisoft claims consumers were given "clear and conspicuous" notice that they were only buying a "limited license" to access the game.

    If buying isn’t ownership, then piracy isn’t theft.

    Well, since they don’t sell games, I guess they shouldn’t expect to see any of my money anytime soon. The blade cuts both ways, Ubishit, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

    Never give Ubi money. Or EA. Or Blizzard.

      Or any game company. This has been the norm for decades, probably since the first piece of software was sold.

      I unfortunately had to buy “A Way Out” and “It Takes Two” to play it with my spouse. I’m sorry.

      But I installed the “Fck EA App” with great pleasure (https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App).

    We should really make laws that protect consumers and makes it so game services that are shut down become opensource.
