“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games].”
I’m totally OK not owning Ubisoft games… but not in the way they would prefer… Where I hand them money and still don’t own anything.
I don’t know what planets he’s on but I still have all my DVDs if I choose to stream stuff as well that’s my choice but is all the streaming services went down I’ve still got all my Star Trek shows.
Anyway what’s he talking about steam exists and is wildly popular so that movement has already happened. What they’re trying to push is live service games.
I might do that anyway. I bought watchdogs on steam, and it was was really fun, but getting bitched at every time UPlay hiccupped or their servers went down in a singleplayer game was enough to make me never touch their shit again.
That and Watchdogs2 being infected with Denuvo. Ugh…
Well have they considered making something I have any interest in buying? I appreciate this is a personality defect of mine where I don’t just blindly purchase things, but because I’m apparently morally reprehensible, I have no intention of changing, so they’re going to have to make the effort instead.
What’s funny is this dude essentially argues the opposite. He’s a dude that got upset some publication said killing fascists was fun. Gets angry at any female characters that don’t exist purely to fulfill his fantasies. He’s pro gruel.
Sounds like someone is upset that they cannot appease their shareholders by selling uninteresting video games riddled with microtransactions and cash grabs. I think that its time their leadership revisit the Agile Manifesto.

inb4 Ubisoft negotiates Trump pardons in advance and starts hiring robbery teams to steal money directly from g*mers’ wallets.

I’ve been digitizing my spouse’s massive dvd collection and hosting them in the house on jellyfin. All the convenience, none of the cost.
Ubisoft need to get comfortable gamers not buying their games.
A wise someone once said that if you can’t own anything, you can’t pirate anything.
Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Yeah. It’s almost like video games are a totally different market from movies or music. 🤦🏻♂️
Let’s see what the executives of a multimillionaire international powerhouse studio will choose.

Well fuck me for not being grateful for tepid gruel, I guess.
What’s funny is this dude essentially argues the opposite. He’s a dude that got upset some publication said killing fascists was fun. Gets angry at any female characters that don’t exist purely to fulfill his fantasies. He’s pro gruel.
Yeah honestly I really can’t put my finger on it I like this guy or not.
I used to like this company. I guess I’m at fault.
On the plus side, I have removed myself as a problem for them. You’re welcome, Ubisoft!
If the customer is the problem, then your product is bad.
Again.
Continue to spit in my face, blame me for your shitty games and your questionable attitude, it’s totally going to help you!

I mean, I just take it in the tone of voice people use to congratulate communities for positive community impact.
“Look at how clean this river is now! So many members of the community showed up to contribute, and I’m proud of you all! You did this!”
Ubisoft can floss its intestines with rusty razor wire coated with fresh sewage.
I’m finding you when I need to spruce up my writing
By all means!
Ubisoft has been run by assholes for at least 20 years
it’s a family business. they’ve always been run by assholes.
