It's been great watching Ubisoft fail so spectacularly in the only thing big game companies seem to care about now, share price. It's been a long time coming with their garbage practices. I remember when they were creative and used to try to make great games. Black Flag and Farcry 4 are still some of my favourite games.

Hopefully what is happening to Ubisoft and their share price scares the shit out of all the big gaming companies and forces them to listen to what gamers want rather than trying to get them to play live service games.

Nah, the consumers are just wrong. They don't want entertainment, they want gambling.
