I love hearing these stories of big gaming companies being shitty as usual, knowing I only play indie games and I'm not giving theme a dime

Hey now, that's they're prerogative -- just like it's my prerogative to never give them a cent of money again.

In this thread: People that disagree and then turn around and play games they don't truly own on Steam

👍

Haha

People don’t have a problem with subscriptions, they have a problem with companies like Ubisoft charging ridiculous sums to play low quality games.

Subscriptions would take off just fine if they were reasonable and fair, and not trying to exploit their customers.

If the way things are going is no one owns anything they buy, then the incentive to buy things drops significantly.

I think i'm done with Ubisoft games.

WE.DON'T.TRUST.YOU.

I dont want to pay a subscription for a bunch of games I'm not interested in. I want to buy and own the specific games I want to play. Fuck off ubisoft

If I don't own the games I bought them piracy isn't stealing. It goes both ways fuckers.

Love app stores pay to play and subscription models? Coming soon to every platform as fast as they can shove it down your throat.

I feel like this post belongs under c/gaming rather than c/technology....

Subscriptions are taking off, just not Ubisoft subscriptions because most of their games are derivative shit.

And personally I don't have an objection with the concept of subscription as an option. It's no worse than streaming music or videos, or renting a DVD / VHS back when. But whatever the service is will have to have a LOT of content, not just back catalogue but new stuff too with fair & reasonable terms for people to want to subscribe. If Ubisoft wants to ever see its stuff streamed it will have to be as part of some other, better service than the one they offer that's for sure.
