    Ah, my hard line stance of “never buy anything ubisoft” is still working out for me.

      Ubisoft, epic, ea, Blizzard/Activision…

      I wont say Bethesda because I’m hoping for another Doom or Quake.

        _EA is the fucking devil. They bought my favorite game, Ultima Online, and ruined it. _

          That’s tragic and I feel your pain.

          I’m glad that game had such a community surge of custom shards to keep it going, but it sure fractured the community. :(

          get in line. ubisoft is the same by the way. they own the rights to my favorite IPs: prince of persia and flashback and all they’re doing is releasing shovelware.

          Generally, yeah. The way they worked with Mick Gordon last game was awful though.

          Well Doom 2016 at least. Doom Eternal fucked over Mick Gordon and DLCfyied the game. The cracks are forming.

        What’s the problem with Epic Games, besides No Tux no Bux and anti cheat rootkits?

        I mean those suck, but it has to be more than that right?

          Delisting and shutting down the Unreal and Unreal Tournament games. General lootbox bs.

              Delisting the single player games that don’t require a master server to be maintained was just salt in the wound.

          They haven’t made a decent game in 15 years so…there’s that.

      I would a very happy person if most things in this World that reliably make one feel as “I’m doing the right thing” and frequently make one “Give oneself a pat on the back” required so little expense, time and effort as “never buy anything from Ubisoft”.

      It’s like winning the “well done dude” lotery once every couple of months without spending a cent.

      Ah, my hardline stance of “don’t buy profitable products you can get for free” is still working out for me.
