Fuck subscriptions. I pay you $5 for groovy Zilean as a magnificent hippy grandpa and you change him into a cranked out meth head because the Chinese government told you to. Fuck you for your control over what you took my money for!

We need time get comfortable trusting games companies that have the track record they do not to fuck customers that have trusted they'll continue to provide access to their games rather than arbitrarily removing them, adding game-ruining monetisation, fucking with subscription prices gating access to their libraries and generally acting like shady arseholes?
Suuure - sign me up.
And of course they won't compete over which service provides the better app\features\catalogue but will try the same exclusivity game the video streaming platforms started... No thanks!
I think i'm done with Ubisoft games.
Hey now, that's they're prerogative -- just like it's my prerogative to never give them a cent of money again.
WE.DON'T.TRUST.YOU.
If the way things are going is no one owns anything they buy, then the incentive to buy things drops significantly.
This is why digital media corporations make up convoluted agreements but they don't ever change the little button saying "Buy". If more people realized they are not actually purchasing and getting to own it, they wouldn't spend their money.
But it's even more revolting that the law and governments validate this obvious false advertising.
People don’t have a problem with subscriptions, they have a problem with companies like Ubisoft charging ridiculous sums to play low quality games.
Subscriptions would take off just fine if they were reasonable and fair, and not trying to exploit their customers.
Haha
Ubisoft exec is a cunt says me.
Is Ubisoft just like…. Enjoying shooting itself in the foot? Haven’t they suffered enough scandals?
My dream is that everyone gets fired, and the janitor walks in and says "Well, I guess if no one else is here to stop me, Rayman 4?"
Yeah. No.
