    Ubisoft directors might need to become comfortable hiding quietly in dark attics when the revolution comes.

    It’s nice that he’s being honest about the bullshittery but all the same he can shove it. Glad I haven’t bought a Ubi game in years and it doesn’t look like that’s going to be changing any time soon.

    It strikes me that this attitude might carry more weight if it came from a company with a better library… I mean, they have a handful of good games, most of which are quite old, and otherwise, mostly act like a cheap sequel machine.

    Every single time Ubisoft opens their stupid mouths, it reinforces my decade old decision to boycott them.

    I’ve never gotten comfortable with not owning CDs or DVDs. In fact, if I really really like a movie or album, I obtain a physical copy. If it’s an independent artist, I’ll even buy it directly from the record label.

    And so far, I’ve been able to stream everything else when I just want to get my entertainment fix ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I’ve felt very comfortable not buying a single ubisoft game since rayman legends, a great game that i use my pirated copy to play because it works better than the DRMriddled version i paid for.

    Generally i don’t even bother to steal ubisoft games since i haven’t played a good one (imo) since early early far cry or asscreed2

        Sooo, over 10 years ago, somebody came up with the idea for a hybrid board game: Golem Arcana. It’s a board game…that requires an app to play.

        Of course, the app was proprietary, and it’s no longer supported, so now the game is dead, because the app won’t run on modern phones.

        Let’s not give them any ideas. My brother actually has a board game (can’t remember the name) where in order to get the story/scenarios/etcetera for each playthrough/mission/whatever, you actually need the official board game app.
