I've got a bad feeling about this.

Just more nickel and diming of gamers…

    Fuck Ubisoft. Fuck major game publishers.

    Do you live outside of the US and hate Ubisoft and the direction the games industry is headed towards?

    Do you live in the US and have ever ‘owned’ a copy of The Crew from Ubisoft?

      I want this to take off but unfortunately it won’t. Nothing ever comes of these kinds of things and this is no different.

          The difference is the police will arrest people who steal cars and will prosecute them but they won’t do the same for the uber wealthy exos of these companies.

            I mean, 90 percent of the time, the police can’t do jack about a car theft besides keep their eyes peeled. By the time you even realize it’s gone, it’s usually in pieces or in a shipping crate on its way to another country.

            I admit the analogy wasn’t perfect but i think it gets the point across

    I’m not buying anything from Ubisoft. If people do that, they get exactly what they deserve… a game from Ubisoft.

    I’ll just keep playing Helldivers 2 pretending I’m a Clone Commando, thanks.

    Idk about you guys, but I will wait until they’ve patched out the game breaking bugs and system compatibility issues. And then I’ll pay them 17$ for 1 month of their game service, beat the game, and cancel the sub.

    It’s completely asinine for a game to cost this much, especially since it is going to be chock full of equally asinine microtransactions and costly DLC.

    The “patient games” methodology is the best way to approach all gaming these days because, odds are, the game won’t be worth the $20-30 later price point anyway.

    I keep telling myself “I want an x-box” and the news keeps telling me “no you fucking don’t”.

    It is NOT an “early access period” it is a “late access punishment” for not be willing to overpay for a game. Journalists should call it that and nothing else.

    I got all the Assassin‘s Creeds (apart from Valhalla and Mirage) on sale for way less with all the extra bs… it‘s not a multiplayer game with a playerbase that could die off, so I‘ve got time to wait for a sale in 3-5 years. Who knows, maybe it‘ll even run properly by then. Buying on release is paying extra to take part in an extended early access beta.
