“We want your money, but we’ll do everything possible to discourage you from doing that”
Ok! 🏴☠️🦜
No joke, after finishing GR Wildlands, I was about to buy GR Breakpoint as I saw it got nice updates.
Then I saw the headlines.
Gonna pirate it now, not paying Ubi a cent
mullvad with quantum secure encryption enabled, or proton with port forwarding turned off.
Don’t believe the bullshit about port forwarding, port forwarding is a security hole. People can maliciously plant things on your system if you have port forwarding enabled.
Qbittorrent, set it to only put traffic through your VPN’s network adapter.
Sorry…I just blacked out…Did I say anything just now? You should never pirate anything, that would be immoral.
Ubisoft seems like one of the shittiest game companies. They were one of the earliest companies that implemented Always-on DRM, requiring an app to open chests, trying to put ads when you paused the game, refusing to put games on Steam because they want more money, sexual assault/harassment allegations etc.
With Walmart pulling physical games from the shelves and not even selling them too? Yeah I’m already looking for a tricorne and a cutlass
I’m okay with just not owning Ubisoft games. Why fucking pirate garbage anyhow? Nothing published by Ubisoft, EA, or Microsoft is worth owning.
Agreed
We should all be comfortable not owning or purchasing Ubisoft games
Pirating games is too risky these days. Malware has become terribly dangerous.
That’s why you scan the archive before installing it.
You’ll get a lot of false positives, but generally you really don’t need to worry if you aren’t on some shady Russian site call xxxfreegamesxxx or some shit
Not if you know where to look and get stuff from trusted sources.
Skill issue
I’m a scallywag. Pinching your purse, that is my bag.
im already verry used to not owning ubisoft games
Eh, not really. Always Online DRM is going to be even more of a thing in the future than it is now. It’ll be so baked into the application that any attempt at patching it will take so long that it’ll exceed the normal lifetime of the game itself.
He said that for subscriptions to be more popular, people need to be “more comfortable with not owning their games”. People always forget the first part, if you take the whole quote, he’s right.
He didn’t say he wanted that to happen. But he probably do, so fuck Ubisoft and him.
I just don’t like how the whole internet built a narrative around an out of context quote.Even with the extra context, for him to be speaking in those terms, means that it’s something they’ve at least considered. In order for subscription based games to be more popular they need to not suck so much ass.
he probably do, so fuck Ubisoft and him
I mean probably fuck him, but that’s still a weird phrase.
I honestly wonder, if there was a stock ticker for the used game market to analyze, anytime an article like the Ubisoft thing comes out, if it makes game resale prices spike.
