Personally I'm glad. I hope they had a bad enough experience that Ubisoft stops being a fucking money factory with it's terrible products.

Looks almost like patience gets rewarded.
Early access = inofficial beta.
Yeah who tf would spend $110 on that lmao
Who TF would spend that much on any game? Steam set the standard price for a fully developed, AAA game at $50 back in the late 2000s. To this day I refuse to pay more than that for a game. If a game is more than that on launch, I wait for a sale.
That's because Ubisoft makes AAAA games now, their CEO said so and we all know CEOs never lie.
/s 'cause you never know
that tracks because they always made their AAA games shitty so I already assumed AAAA means extra shitty. and I'm yet to be proven wrong.
Didn't Ubisoft say that they want people to get used to not owning games?
I guess I'll start by not purchasing any of their games.
Ubishit doing Ubishit stuff
Frankly at this point if you're preordering a game (especially one which they started selling before even revealing gameplay footage) you need to see a finance counselor.
Works for all Ubi games, even those fully released 🙄
When you preorder a game you’re paying for something a bunch of people in San Francisco haven’t even finished making yet. You know what you get when your preorder a game Kyle? A big dick in your mouth.
I wish
The market for dick is saturated, should be easy to get! Go get 'em tiger!
What did we learn?
That's right! Stop buying games when or before they release!
Seriously though, what do people expect? Just wait a couple weeks after release and see what happens, it won't kill you.
People say this every time it happens, and AAA game developers have been putting out unfinished broken crap for exorbitant prices for well over a decade, now. Don't preorder after starfield, don't preorder after cyberpunk, don't preorder after fallout 76, don't preorder after anthem, don't preorder after...
Oh wait, there's a new game coming out soon, I should preorder, can't wait to play it!
The people saying it are generally not the ones supporting the practice, unfortunately the vast majority of gamers just don't care and buy whatever big thing is marketed to them or hyped up through streamers/youtubers.
People don't learn a damned thing.
Some know and stay away from this type of shit. But everyone else will keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
And that is why non of us get to have nice things.
See, I'm reading this while contemplating buying the space marine 2 pre-order so I can bring justice to heretics before I realize the game has flaws at all.
I didn't learn anything. I was right all along.
Additionally, don’t buy any products from Ubisoft, EA, Activision, or pretty much any other AAA developer/publisher
Don't buy corporate games.
