If your games are on steam, you’re already not owning them. The only difference seems to be that steam doesn’t demand a monthly subscription cost, yet

We already have game pass so it’s not like this is something completely new either.

If this makes money, other big publishers will join and in 10 years it’s the norm.

Personally, I’ll try my best to keep buying on GOG and itch.io where I get to actually own my games.

ogeist,

Agree, I own a lot of games in Steam but most come from bundles or were not bought a full price. I do buy full price games on GOG because I can have a backup offline.

GeneralEmergency,

Almost as if all the “evil” in the game’s industry Valve started.

We did it guys, we found the source of corporate greed!

GeneralEmergency,

G*mers will do anything to avoid saying anything bad about Lord Gaben

SendMeYourInk,

The only difference is a huge difference though. Pay once for a game that you can access anytime versus paying continuously for the rest of your life to keep access to a game.

Some games are not worth keeping access to and subscription may end up being cheaper, but it is trading one benefit for another.

Which Ubisoft isn’t doing either. This is just Ubisoft’s gamepass style subscription, which has been available for a few years now, it’s just getting a 2 tier pricing model.

I’m not enough of a Linux user to inconvenience myself so I’m just using Steam. The cloud sync is the killer feature for me - if GOG had something like it even if I have to pay extra, I’d so use it.

I could see myself not playing with a subscription service. I can only play games only so many hours a week as I have a lot more commitments now. I’m not gonna spend money on a monthly subscription for a handful of games that I might play. I’ll just go back to pirating games.

They added DRM to a more than ten Year old game I had bought. I'll never purchase another ubisoft product without then heading to the high sea to get a uncrippled copy. Odds are, I'll just not bother.

    Not even slightly. I tried to explain this concept to my friend some weeks back and he downright refused to believe Steam or other platforms would leave players without their games if they were to go belly-up, for example.

    TheEntity,

    Do we really own any games at all? We own licenses, nothing more. Even if it's on a DVD.

    I am very comfortable with never owning a ubisoft game ever again.

    I’m comfortable with not “owning” the games I pirate.

    Your move, Ubisoft.

    Has any of the rapists or apologists in ubisoft had any repercussions yet?

    Then i am not interested in their games anyway.

    I bought a copy of Riders Republic on PS4. Before that, I hadn’t played a Ubisoft game since AC1. I’m quite comfortable continuing that track record.

    I for one am quite comfortable not giving them any more of my money either.

    What Ubi wants means fuck all to me. Yall wanted us to buy NFT guns too, see how that worked out…

    Oh, fear not Ubisoft, I’m perfectly comfortable never owning any of your games again. Ever. Eat shit.
