Oh, I am not surprised about that. Ubisoft were never really known for respecting their customers.
-
Finally seeing them complaining, it was weird that they were so quiet.
-
Thry didnt want to give it attention, but now that its gained some traction and may cause something to actually happen, its a problem for them
-
You call that complaining? It was a bunch of vague non-answers meant to not really directly answer any of the shareholder questions

During the last sale recently I was looking for an open world racing sim. Ended up getting Forza Horizons 5 over Ubisoft's The Crew 2 because they killed off and removed my copy of The Crew from my library, so they can get fucked.
-
Microsoft killed Forza Horizons 4 when their licensing deals expired. They're not any better in that regard.
-
No they didn’t. It was delisted from stores. The game still works if you own it, or even if you go out today and buy a used physical copy. Same goes for all of the delisted FH games.
Delistings are not what SKG is about and I wish people would stop pretending it is.
-
You at least can still play the old Horizon games. Just not buy them. The Crew is unplayable and was forcibly removed from people's accounts. Do still agree screw Microsoft though.

Wasn't their driving game a big factor in the campaign in the first place? Guy's out of touch to say the least
-
The ceo is a massive clown!
-
Yeah, Ubisoft almost went bankrupt not that long ago. It was only with a $1.3 billion dollar infusion by Tencent they survived. Leadership barely know that the point of the company is to make games.
-
-
He should probably concentrate making games people want to play instead. Ubisoft is down the drain.
The Stop Killing Games demands are not hard to meet, unless you’re a greedy little shitgoblin.

You're right, they aren't doing so well looking at this 5 year window.
-
That's about stock market tho, a entirely different kind of game.

I don't care what this guy has to say. I'm not even going to click on that link because it'll just make me angry. Fuck off, Yves. Get your own house in order.

Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either "remaster" the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

"And now, available for a limited time from within the Disney vault!"
-
They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.
-
-
Nintendo is doing exactly that (pulling games from stores, letting them die). Now that they have more invasive DRM in their latest console, they might even take a more active approach like Ubisoft wegen it comes to live service games. Let's just "sunset" Mario kart world live service and brick it in a couple of years?

Wait what? Ubisoft “customers should get used to not owning games” ubisoft? That ubisoft? Color me shocked.

He's so old. No wonder Ubisoft is so close to bankrupcy.
