    Don’t forget shutting down games people paid money for and leaving them with nothing. (Looking at you, “The Crew.”)

    The worst part is that Tom Clancy should not be a power fantasy. That brand means nothing in video games anymore.

  I don’t really care enough to actively hate Ubisoft - I save those sentiments for companies like Nintendo and Disney. However, they did influence about a decade of horrible game design trends with the popularisation of the dreadful checklist-filled Ubisoft Open World^TM, and that is worth at least a mild dislike.

    Also some of the most odious DRM iirc. Not to mention their dalliance with Blockchain Bitcoin NFT whatever.

  When their CEO said that players should get comfortable not owning the games they paid for I went from not really caring about their games to actively disliking the company

  For me it’s a combination of them making games that all seem to represent everything wrong in modern gaming, coupled with all of the sexual misconduct among their leadership that they covered up and have still not been held accountable for.

  I don’t understand how horny people are to defend companies that treat their paying customers like shit.

  They’ve been releasing a lot of half baked games lately, coupled with lazy game design, where a lot of their open world games are the same thing with a different skin. And then the games themselves are the same first few hours of gameplay loops repeated for the rest of the game.

  For me it’s the arrogance. It’s the calling of themselves “AAAA” gaming and trying to push base prices of games past $100 and then making bland boring games. They think they’re amazing. This is their reality check. Their games are what I play when I have nothing, and I mean nothing else to play

  Far cry feels just the same since 3. Same gameplay, different story, different setting. While the story itself is usually good, I don’t think it has progressed gameplay wise or in technical or graphics aspects in any meaningful way. Car physics are worse than gta5 which is already out for 10 years or so.
