DreamlandLividity, do gaming w It's like they wait for you to buy it

My solution to this is to buy at a price I think the game is worth for me, and if I overpay, I think of it as supporting the developer to make more like it.

I watched Markiplier play this game years ago and totally forgot about it, unless I’m misremembering. It’s cool to run into the dev on Lemmy!

Ubisoft Execs Need To Get Comfortable With “Not Owning My Money”.

CrowAirbrush,

A lot of company’s should prepare for that, been running out of money for overpriced entertainment related stuff.

It used to be affordable so i had no issues with it, but now even the basics are overpriced.

samus12345,

It’s been that way for a while now, but I don’t remember when I first noticed it.

I find it fascinating that they’re supposedly going bankrupt.

Aren’t they… big? Don’t they have tons of assets? Shouldn’t they be, still, sitting on a pile of cash?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In,

Big assets also means Big liabilities.

1bn of short term and 2bn of long term debt.

samus12345,

This article is from That Park Place, a right-wing website, so I’d take it with a grain of salt. It’s coming from “anti-woke” people who salivate over the idea of “go woke, go broke.”

Favorite ? No, Not really The real question is, who’s going to buy them

grrgyle,

As a whole? Hopefully no one. But a fire sale of all their properties and équipement might be interesting.

Also times like this experienced developers often start their own companies and snatch up their co-workers. Probably already happening from the mass layoffs earlier, that.

CharmOffensive,

Suckerpunch buying assassin’s creed would be great, considering GoT was the best assassin’s creed game to date.

I know people working there, in towns where little other opportunities for such jobs exist. I… really don’t fancy the prospect of Ubisoft going bankrupt.

Adm_Drummer,

I know people who work there that used to steal my parking spot with their baby Blue Ford Mustang, on a residential street two blocks from the Ubisoft building. They can all go away.

Don’t you mean… AAAA company?

Yeah but… You do get that you don’t own any of your games on Steam, Epic, whatever either?
Just GOG is DRM free.

RayOfSunlight,

itch.io as well

Kerred,

Id just like to point out when you read the full article the context is different than the headline as usual. But regardless Ubisoft deserves their demise.

CharmOffensive,

You’re not wrong, but Ubisoft were absolutely tone deaf for saying that.

tesfabpel,

steam can be DRM free as well but it depends on the game to use or not the Steam API for license…

samus12345,

Any Steam game that doesn’t also use extra DRM can be cracked, too.

hmmm, do gaming w Model is absolutely stoked to make her mark in the gaming industry

Wish listed. Should I show my kid? They’re a strong reader but would probably do no reading and smash the button with their forehead most days

Road_Warrior_10,

Well the button is in the end of the demo, so it will be fun to see what kind of shenanigans your kid gets in before it reaches it

I’ll let you know if any good anecdotes come of it, thanks!

I stopped buying games that require online login. It’s a real pain in the ass when I’m traveling and offline. I stopped buying anything from Ubisoft, EA and Rockstar. They made their choice, so I did too.

I hate that Halo:MCC requires my like, 28 digit Microsoft password AND 2FA to play a game from 2007. It should allow you to bypass login and just play as your steam account.

Every time I want to play it, it asks for that, and I just quit and play something that is far less of a hassle, particularly offline.

This bugs the hell out of me too. I don’t think I’ve even started it yet for this very reason.

cmfhsu,

Hey I have a real easy solution to that.

I’m perma banned because I had the gall to play modded MCC from the steam workshop on the day it released, before the moderation team knew modding was legal. I can’t even log into Halo waypoint to get help from the Halo team.

I now can’t play any Microsoft game, own an Xbox, or use game pass and I refuse to make a new account on principle.
