I’ve been comfortable with not owning Ubisoft games for years
Thanks Ubisoft exec, but I’ve been comfortable with piracy the whole time
If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing
Game companies need to get comfortable with piracy
: “Phew, thought it was news about a game with a black protagonist for a second.”Gamers will make no excuses for the Terror…
I stg i am going to do an adventure if windows becomes a webservice/os as a service
Oh you don’t have an Internet connection? Sorry you can’t use your OS
1000 years from now the post apocalypse humans will attempt to learn from our time by analyzing ancient data caches only to discover that they need to create The Internet in order to access them. They will give up. Nothing will have been lost.
might be the only reason some U.S. states are doing “rural broadband initiatives”. i mean we know it’s not because the state wants to do infrastructure for any greater social purpose
hit some arbitrary percentage of access, fudge it with starlink numbers, declare victory and watch everything move to the cloud.
Get comfortable with me not buying any of your games
well, that aint fair is it? i haven’t played a Ubisoft game in years
It’s especially weird that companies are still like this after seeing the success of a game like Baldurs Gate 3. The runaway hit of the year, and biggest earner on Steam, doesn’t even implement the basic Steam DRM. I tried it. The game launches and runs just fine when Steam isn’t running at all. It’s so messed up how capitalism leads to that (providing good products at fair prices and respecting your audience) being seen as an “unsustainable business model.”
Yeah but that would require them to actually invest in making genuinely good games, which is a nonstarter.

It ain’t theft if you can’t own it.
Haven’t bought a Ubi game since AssCreed4. Why would anyone?
The new Prince of Persia game looks like a banger, but otherwise yeah
No
Everyone ive seen online is saying it looks really good. And its not the normal Ubi open world slop so why not.

Fuck Ubisoft, does nobody have principles as far as not supporting dogshit companies?

Reviving a dead IP that was pretty much the exclusive representative of tightly-designed linear 3D platformers, as well as generally cinematic platformers, and just going “We want the Hollow Knight audience. We want the Dust An Elysian Tail audience. We want the Dead Cells audience.” is a really pro move, fuck them for that.
This is sort of tied to my insane rant about Symphony of the Night rant and you can see that here so I have bias I guess, and also I take viddy james way too seriously. I’ve been waiting like a decade for these jackasses to make a new game I like, and the best they can do is shitcan an underbaked remake (which seems to have destroyed the studio they originally assigned to it) and pony up this goofy metroidvania thing.
Didnt say i was going to support them. Just that the game looks good.
Also isnt 2D Prince of Persia a return to series roots?
Good dont 😤
Also yes but no, like PoP Fallen King is also a 2D game and that does nooot make it a return to form. While the 1989 game has some roundabout pathways and a little backtracking, it’s a very methodical game with heavy movement and a somewhat complicated control setup for a basically one button game. It’s much more of a navigational puzzler, and combat is basically an afterthought in it.
Every PoP aside from Two Thrones has fallen on its face by including dogshit combat so at least they’re continuing this tradition…

then they should get comfortable with everyone pirating their games
or better yet, just not playing their shitty games
It took 5-10 years but eventually I got to a point where I never touched a torrent. It took less than a year for me to go 100% back, and with bigger and better resources than ever. If the internet shuts off I still have all my music, movies, shows, games, even info like Wikipedia I have stored as real 1s and 0s and spinny metal plates.
when was the last time ubisoft made a game worth playing? last decade?
Yeah probably Valiant Hearts or something? So like 2014.
Anno 1800 but they’re just publishers so not realy.
I made the mistake of getting Child of Light on Steam because it was on sale for like $5 and then got stuck in a recurring loop of needing to log in through Uplay only to run into some error code.
Okay, then I won’t buy them.
oh, ok
