they got some good games, but the uplay shenanigans was really a deal breaker for me.
i wish gog will pick some retro up in a few years so i can get back to playing some.

That's not my favorite AAA company, it's my favorite AAAA company!
Also, the bit on the right is from a rather shitty looking, "anti woke" site.
And no one will learn anything from this.
Gamers need to get comfortable with not owning games

I entirely stopped playing Ubisoft games because they require me to sign in to play.
I tried Anno 1800 because it was free on PS+ and immediately ran into a login wall.
Same thing when I tried Assassin’s Creed.
They’re not even online games. I get needing to log in to CoD because you’re playing online, but blocking the offline mode is asinine.
So why would I bother buying an Ubisoft title when I know I’m going to open it up and hit that stupid login wall and privacy policy.

That shouldn’t be needed either. A PSN or Steam account should be enough.
It used to be enough. I played so much COD4 back in the day on Xbox and the only login I ever needed was my Xbox account.
But nowadays, they want more data from you than the platform is willing or allowed to share, so you need to log in to their service.

I really enjoyed Driver: San Francisco. Then Ubisoft introduced UPlay and I couldn't play it anymore. That was the last time I installed anything from Ubisoft.
I tried to reinstall it recently and it complained that you can't install 32bit software from Steam anymore. I guess I'll never play another Ubisoft game.
Love this game and that is why I have a pirate copy that doesn't do any of that crap. I completed it again last year and it was good fun still!

Make stupid choices, suffer stupid consequences.
You're right Ubisoft, I am pretty comfortable not owning your games 🥰
They ran Ass cRee into the ground and launched Uplay with privacy violations.
I boycotted them after thinking they were one of the few good AAA companies.
Now they're going to die.
Great. Maybe a better studio can reboot Ass cRee and make it wothwhile. Or you know, just leave it the fuck alone.
Same with Far Cry which is a shame because it used to be a really fun dumbshooter series. I got FC6 on sale last month and had to slog through it, I swore off the franchise after finishing the game and haven't touched it since, even though there's plenty of post-game content left for me.

Do better Ubisoft
Stop fucking outsourcing and actually fund your devs, consider firing from the top down as your managers aren't doing shit for the company
Ubisoft is owned and run by a family who are super old French aristocrats who trace their family wealth back generations. The Guillemots have zero idea what their customers want or how to make a good game. They want to make money and don't care what the poor have to say in criticism or frustration. They are too insulated to feel like they have to improve - it's the children who are wrong.
It’s hilarious that they are trying to condition the sale of the company on letting the guillemots retaining control.
Let it burn.

I'm legitimately at the point where I hope they don't pivot and are just forced to sell off their IP. There's just too many reasons to not like them.
Guess they better start feeling comfortable with not owning their company.

I disagree. Because of his... "antics," I know the name Bobby Kotik, and he's done nothing but good things for the company. Really uplifted them from a dark place.
What does Bobby Kotick have to do with Ubisoft? He worked for Activision/Blizzard.
I thought he was ubisoft. Sorry, getting my rapists mixed up...
I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm.
It absolutely is. I'm just kinda over the /s at this point.
