Ubisoft could put their games for free right into my PC's games folder and I still wouldn't play them. They're shit.

Once you’ve played one Ubisoft game you’ve played them all. They did that thing where they took the best gameplay loops from each of their games and implemented them in their other games. So you always feel like you’ve done it before.

Their stories dance around the idea of saying something meaningful without actually taking a stance on anything. They feel like they’ve been approved by a board of directors and not the vision of an artist.

Absolutely soulless.

Spot on, I feel exactly the same about their games.

I used my money to put one of their games in my library and when I noticed (after the refund window) that it was an Ubisoft game, I decided to play something else.

I don't subscribe to the sunk cost fallacy.
