i say ubisoft can eat shit

have not purchased anything from them in over a decade

That's why I boycott video games from Ubisoft. I loved and am nostalgic of their previous outstanding games from when it was great - think of Beyond Good and Evil, the original 3 Prince of Persia games and the assassin's creed games until odyssey(I'm hesitant to include Valhalla, but I'm at witt's end here as Einar Selvik sang and composed the ost of the game for goodness' sake). I even paid a (🤮) connect+ subscription that they threatened at some point that some accounts may be lost as per a number of days of innactivity.

But enough is enough, Ubisoft be better prepared to not own a company and be manned by Tencent. As much as I hate even the latter, Ubisoft is a scummy company and needs to be properly grouped in the scummy companies even by allegiance.

I hope the European Citizen's innitiative for video games passes, in the end. The source code/maintenance of discontinued/stopped projects ought to be maintained by the players and its community.

Ubisoft can't complain that I wont buy their games if I don't really own their games.

It may be legal, but it certainly ain’t ethical.

Sweet. Just giving me more reasons to not buy Ubisoft’s garbage.

Things like this make it really easy for me to not buy anything from Ubisoft.

This is why I just pirate games from big developers. They’re fuckers so fuck them anyway.

EU cutizens can sign European Citizens' Initiative that aims to prevent publishers using killswitches to permanently disable games. If it gets 1M signatures, it will be discussed in European Comission.

They’re right but it would be great if companies had to allow self hosting for products they make money from

They can't complain when I never actually give them money but still play then

Oh look. Yet another reason to continue my Ubisoft boycott.

What I love about being a broke bitch retro gamer is that I own my games. I have a Tetris cartridge that is older than I am and still works. The batteries on some of my GB and GBA carts have died, but that’s something I can fix. No one can send a stealth update to my Sega Genesis that forces me to create on an account to play or even bricks it somehow. There’s no room for human shit behavior, just a war against the realities of mechanical decay. (And it’s easy to rip ROMs in case of the inevitable.)

Older generations of gaming are well preserved. I don’t think the past ten years or the future will be. “Games as a service” is too big a draw - the goal is to turn everything into a subscription model because why make money once when you can make it forever?

All I want Ubisoft to do is make more Rayman games. Yet they doing things like this.

I've been avoiding Ubisoft games for quite some time. And blizzard. And a handful of other studios because of these bullshit shenanigans.
