I genuinely hope this guy doesn't get "comfortable" not having a job.
Hey now, that's they're prerogative -- just like it's my prerogative to never give them a cent of money again.
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!
I think i'm done with Ubisoft games.
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.
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.
Is Ubisoft just like…. Enjoying shooting itself in the foot? Haven’t they suffered enough scandals?

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!
Haha
Ubisoft exec is a cunt says me.
I like subscriptions, skins, and microtransactions. I wish they'd stop with all the skill based stuff though
