I think Ubisoft needs to be comfortable shutting the fuck up and fucking the fuck off.

I mean, I've been comfortable not owning Ubisoft games since they started trying to make UPlay a thing, so I guess mission accomplished?

Gamers are probably the easiest to convince.

They already buy their console games in app stores. In two years when the store shuts down because the new gen is out, the game is gone.

They have long accepted online only single player games. When the server shuts down the game is gone.

And if they play 99 indie games and once in a while a single big name game, even though they spend more time fixing and complaining about Windows than they do playing, they will never install Linux because that one game they rarely play only runs on Windows.

mmhm, Ubisoft are in the stage of being completely open about their greed.
Vote with the wallet. Mostly by not opening it 😆

'So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game.'

Mmmm, maybe....So it's about feeling comfortable handing truck loads of your money over to Ubisoft.

There, fixed it for them.

I think Ubisoft (and everyone who shares their view) needs to fuck off.

I'm already sick and tired of video and music streaming services. I don't want to add games to the mix.

Hm. Ok. Lerned my lesson with Ubi with Anno2070. Never bought an Ubi title since. Will be interesting to see how this goes. Most people talk much about morality but never let follow consequences. Looking at you #deletefacebook #deletewhatsapp #deletewindows so i predict Ubi will get away with this.
