They worked hard to build that reputation year after year.

I dont want to get into this but, yeah, it's just a soul-less capitalist business like 99% of other studios. The management sucks, but I know a lot of people that worked there over the years (most lost their jobs in past 4-5 years), and they are just developers passionate about making games. I know some are deeply affected by all the hate they got online.

I'm sure it's not always easy to hear everything thrown at Ubisoft, but we shouldn't hold back criticisms of greedy and, at times, malicious corporations just to protect their employees feelings.

Ubisoft has had a large hand in pushing and normalizing a bunch of the worst aspects of todays gaming industry:

  • forcing users to be always online while playing
  • invasive and harmful DRM
  • overpriced and under-developed DLC
  • unfinished and buggy games
  • boring and predictable writing
  • repetitive and checklist-style open worlds
  • extra launchers in addition to your actual launcher
  • removing access to games you've bought

All of these are things that got worse because of Ubisoft. I won't stop hating their games until they make up for the damage they've caused.

Lol, just don't buy the games, it's that easy. They already layoff half of their work force, you won, Ubisoft bad, Steam good.

And I'm not talking protecting "the feelings" of employee. I'm talking about literal death threat and bomb alert being send to the devs, not the executive, because of "black samurai" in a fictional game that isn't even out lol.

Just not buying their games doesn't prevent them from moving the industry further into a bad direction, especially as they get more desperate.

I haven't been buying their games since before AC2, yet they've had a terrible impact on the industry.

Right. Ubisoft is single-handedly responsible for everything bad in videogame. I hear it's actually Ubi's fault that fascism is back.

Anyway, now my coffee's cold, thanks Ubisoft.

No, Ubisoft shitty. Is that really so hard to understand? Do you desperately need to completely warp my position to be able to respond?

Sad.
