It's actually the Ubisoft way.

Far cry 6 dropped to $30 pretty quickly too. All of their games do. Hell, wait a year and watch it drop to under $20.

You have to be someone special to buy anything Ubisoft on Day 1, with their draconian DRM, their always on BS, their many many problematic statements and very anti-gamer behavior.

When the chef blames the customers relentlessly you know they wont be in business long.

Linux incompatible anticheat is already enough for me to never play a game. Ubisoft's usual shenanigans are just more icing on the shit cake.

Except South Park Fractured but whole. The damn thing is 7 years old and still 59,99€. I refuse to buy it, even on sale, until they reduce the base price.
