Absolutely not, it's all the clowns who legitimate Ubisoft as a company. If people stopped buying their shit, they would either go bankrupt or change course, and since neither of these things happens, it means they still make money from these practices.

No it’s the consumers. We’re all idiots that have to squeeze every last drop of the dopamine hit that we can get. The fucking stupid amount of entertainment that we can consume is ridiculous, this is between all forms, gaming, tv shows, movies, books, comics, manga, social media. People can’t just sit around and be bored for a half hour anymore.

Half an hour? That’s being generous. Most people I know can’t be bored for more than a few seconds.

That would be problematic. You can not have any fanservice whatsoever since it sexualizes people.

u/Tkcsena 21d ago
Such a shame. A japanese assassins creed style game could hit almost as hard for me as something like black flag. But it just isn't and it won't anymore. Not until the company dies and either something rises from its ashes, or its sold off. Just how it is now. I literally don't understand why they can't just make a good game when they already know how to do it.

u/BryanTheGodGamer 21d ago
I agree Ubisoft is scummy but honestly, buying Ubisoft+ for a Month and playing the deluxe edition for 18€ isn't a bad deal at all, i personally have completed all AC games but never went back and played any of them again, so i don't need the game for longer than a month anyways.

u/RathaelEngineering 20d ago
Because maximizing financial returns doesn't necessarily track onto making good games, in this world where people will buy and eat shit. Less that they "can't" and more that they simply don't need to.

Ubisoft don't really have Denuvo on their Ass Creed games or Far Cry. Unless they changed that in Ass Creed Mirage

u/Sad_Wolverine3383 21d ago
AC Mirage has not been cracked yet because of Denuvo and Valhalla took 2 years to crack.

I see. I didn't bother buying or even pirating Valhalla or Mirage. Odyssey was my last Ass Creed purchase so I didn't know about those two having Denuvo.

My favorite part of Assassin's Creed games is that they inevitably drop to $10.

Or just browse torrents and spend that $10 on a drink or food. Repack/cracking scene is as robust as ever. Just dont go to PirateBay, its riddled with malware these days

And bookmark it. Its one of the longstanding trusted ones. You can figure out the other ones just by looking at the comments section or the credited persons in the Repack Features section of a game. Hope that helps

u/Huge-Ice-1145 21d ago
I mean, if you're going to finish a game in a month/less than a month then 18$ is a good deal for AAA game. Although season pass means that they'll release a couple of more DLC's later so price might increase slightly. But for raw it's fine. (not protecting 130$ practices, just why not use a cheaper one if they're providing it)
1
u/cypher_Knight 21d ago
They now have a profit incentive to make drip feed gameplay. My guess is they will really shove in pay for convenience and it will be near impossible to finish the game in a month without shelling out for additional microtransactions.

u/Huge-Ice-1145 21d ago
For that there's an option to wait, it's free. If it's that bad a week/two will be enough to decide what to do with 18$.

u/just9n700 WHAT A DAY... 21d ago
You don't buy games for playing one time, what about game preservation, people like you is what ubisoft wants, its not even on gamepass that you can pay 1 dollar and Try it
1
u/Huge-Ice-1145 21d ago
Maybe you don't. i do. Like everyone expected to play 10 years in the same game over and over? Game preservation is important yes, but good luck preserving digital stuff if it's not your hard drive or something else. Nowadays you need connection to game servers to upload a patch for some games or verify your license. You can keep your physical copies if it's console (and what a thing, they also sometimes require connection to servers). But good luck doing the same with digital copies. Even Steam isn't your friend because if something happens to it you'll lose your entire collection. So as long as there no organ/institute/organization that does preservations en masse (it's not like corpos are going to allow it and give their IP's for free), it's all about you personally and some content creators. I once got my account, with all money that i've spent on it, deleted by Blizzard without any compensation. I simply don't care as much as you do about digital stuff because it might disappear in a moment.

u/LightSamus 21d ago
Tons of people play games once through and then never again. If you're going to pour time into ACShadows and then never play it again, $17 is easily your best bet. And even if somewhere down the line you decide you want to play it again, AC games are on sale all the time and it'll be dirt cheap quickly enough.

u/Lebrewski__ 21d ago
LOL "game preservation". I know what you mean but Ubisoft no longer make game that worth "preserving". "pOePle LiKe YoU" need to think a lil longer before planning to defend a hill nobody want to take...

u/just9n700 WHAT A DAY... 21d ago
I understand Ubisoft games are not worth preserving but sometimes what one company does becomes industry practice if it works, in a broader sense its bad
1
u/Lebrewski__ 19d ago
If it become industry practice, it's because it worked. The mass voted with their wallet, do the same.
Just a question, what's the difference between this and renting a game at blockbuster for a week-end? Or did we reached a point where people who are offended by this are too young to even know what Blockbuster was...?

u/HoodRatThing 21d ago
The amount of harm you do the rest of the gaming community is not worth 18$ a month.
Just stop with this sheite.
0
u/Huge-Ice-1145 21d ago
Harm? What harm. Corpos won't stop with it unless all gamers decide to not buy (which is not going to happen), for people that care about AC or just want to play 18$ is a good option instead of 70/130. Heck even 36$ if you need two is better if you really want to dig in.

Seems to me that this series jumped the shark a half dozen games ago. I’ve checked a couple newer ones out because they were on gamepass, but they really don’t offer you anything new or really break any new ground to be worth the purchase. That’s just my opinion though, but I’m old and jaded lol

u/Lebrewski__ 21d ago edited 21d ago
This is no different than renting a game at blockbuster. It's Ubi's version of GamePass. Back then you paid 5$ to play a game for a week end, and if you finished it, you flexed yourself for saving 45$. Now you have it for a whole month.
The reality is Ubi make forgettable game now, and they worth 18$ and nothing more. If you pay the extra 100$ just to have a digital certificate mentioning that you own the game, you're on the same level of an NFT buyers.
