The Montreal-based team behind March of Giants joins Ubisoft to continue development on the free-to-play 4v4 MOBA game where players take on the role of giant combatants.
How much of a premium would you be willing to pay for a version of a game that stripped out any connection with Ubisoft?
If you answered more than zero dollars, how the hell does Ubisoft make basic sense as a business?
For me, just thinking of a couple off the top of my head I would gladly pay a $10+ premium for Steep (edit Shredders at $17 is a far better deal for this reason than Steep at $3) or Riders Republic if Ubisoft’s involvement in the games were completely removed, I am talking about right now in the year 2025 not even when these games came out originally… they are brilliant but utterly undermined by Ubisoft. I think for the recent Ghost Recon games Breakpoint and Wildlands I would happily pay a $15+ premium for versions that stripped out Ubisoft BS and added good mod support.
Ubisoft is an anti-brand more than it is a business.
