Ubisoft needs to get comfortoble with not owning their company
I find it fascinating that they’re supposedly going bankrupt.
Aren’t they… big? Don’t they have tons of assets? Shouldn’t they be, still, sitting on a pile of cash?
Favorite ? No, Not really The real question is, who’s going to buy them
And nothing of value will be lost.
Yeah but… You do get that you don’t own any of your games on Steam, Epic, whatever either?
Just GOG is DRM free.Id just like to point out when you read the full article the context is different than the headline as usual. But regardless Ubisoft deserves their demise.
itch.io as well
Don’t you mean… AAAA company?
I took their advice and got comfortable not owning Ubisoft games.
They make it so easy: anything they release I’ve already played years ago already.
i quit after AC4. kept up with the news and reviews, seems I never really missed anything good.
Maybe they should just have fewer avocado toasts for a while?
I don’t think i even play Ubisoft games, they can go down for all i care.
kinda unrelated but I’d love it if valve sold physical copies of their games to use with the successor to the steam deck
If only bankruptcy actually meant consequences for those responsible.
I sentence the investors and executives to lives of extreme luxury
Gamers say that Ubisoft execs need to get comfortable with not being solvent.
Ubisoft execs need to get comfortable flying coach.
I’m a very casual gamer. Where can I find out what Ubisoft is doing to get them so much hate?
It is difficult to know where to start, since there have been a lot of unpopular actions. A lot of these are pretty standard for the triple A studios unfortunately. Think DRM with always online and authentication server issues, toxic workplace, decommissioned games by removing the servers for them and not giving ways for people to self host, rehashing existing properties to milk success, having their own launcher so having double layers of authentication, microtransactions, subscription based model pushing, game variants locking out certain content unless more money is payed etc.
decommissioned games by removing the servers for them
The pirated version usually works.
and I was mad when I couldn’t local host StarCraft anymore.
I really try to avoid recreation companies with human right ‘challenges ’ like abusive working environments.
So is Ubisoft worse than most others ? Do they do that junk on console games as well? Like if I got an Ubisoft game for switch would I need a non-Nintendo account?
Based on the words of internet strangers I will not purchase their games. Sounds like way to much to go though just to play a game. Do people really go though all of that to game?
It sounds like way too much effort
Man Ubisoft could be so great but they just land so meh. Watchdogs, tom Clancy wildlands, the division, farcry. They all have potential but just don’t have that last 15%
Splinter Cell just wasting away for years. :(
That’s because they fear giving that 15% out for free when they could have monetized it.
And they killed Deus Ex
Embracer killed Deus Ex.
Ubisoft Executives need to get comfortable not eating food anymore.
I’m sure they can wipe their tears with hundred dollar bills.
which they got before running the company into bankruptcy?
Exactly
