“Ubisoft is determined to take things one step further to stamp out any attempts to continue playing it past its expiry date.”
redcalcium ( @redcalcium@lemmy.institute ) 33•3 months agoI can’t believe they double down on this. It seems ubisoft’s management actually thrives on gamers’ rage.
rickyrigatoni ( @rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee ) 13•3 months agoWell they are french.
PeriodicallyPedantic ( @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ) 20•3 months agoyou’re only allowed to have fun if we control it
LoamImprovement ( @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org ) 19•3 months agoYou’re only allowed to have fun if we can monetize it
PeriodicallyPedantic ( @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ) 8•3 months agoI figured it was a micro transaction game. This shit should be covered under right-to-repair.
Einar ( @original_reader@lemm.ee ) 4•3 months agoWe don’t care if you have fun. You already paid for it.
umbrella ( @umbrella@lemmy.ml ) 15•3 months agorelease server software and let us self host!!!
they dont even need to foot the cost for anything.
ඞmir ( @Amir@lemmy.ml ) 7•3 months agoThat eats into their profits for their other/new games
NoneYa ( @NoneYa@lemm.ee ) 4•3 months agoThe biggest reason I never bought this game. I didn’t know they’d go to this length, but knew that they’d be shutting off servers at some point and the game would be worthless. All that money anyone spent on it and the in-game items is now gone. All in Ubisoft’s pocket and all you’re left with is memories of playing the game. Wanna go back for some nostalgia? lol, no, fuck you. Just wait and hope a sequel will get released so they can continue the cycle.
UndercoverUlrikHD ( @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev ) 3•3 months agoIt’s a shame, but people are asking for it when they buy, and therefore support, these kind of games. If people simply refused to buy always-online games, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
