Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It's not about this particular game.
It's about setting a precedent for games you do care about.
The games I care about will be preserved no matter how the publishers of them flail about
Not in this case, seeing that progress is stored online.
Who says that the game you care about tomorrow won't do this next? Why be against an action/not care about something that can only benefit players now and in the long term?
The games I care about all already have backup options. They're all the kinds of games that attract people like me who will just fix them right away.
I mean, God forbid Ubisoft gets its way and all games go this direction! Step up before you don't get the choice to backup your games.
