The announcement of the game left an extremely bad impression too, because the game was $60 or $70 but didn’t include all the content, there were three other tiers or “editions” you could buy, the last option being the $8 subscription service that had a shiny blue border around it and included all the content.

Pretty sure their recent stock drop has more to do with them releasing a bad game based on a dying IP than on what an exec said months ago.

Isn’t Ubisoft infamously known for this subscription model on all of their products?

I thought Ubisoft was known for their shitty launchers.

The greed goes deep. It’s funny that micro transactions hardly ever were micro. If it’s was a few cents for a pure cosmetic item I might even do that from time to time, but take the discord cosmetics 50ct I might buy sth blinky, but they want 5-10€ for that shit

I wouldn’t know it’s a bad game since I won’t buy it because of what an exec said months ago.

Given how often we see games selling extremely well even after the companies behind them do awful stuff you’re in a very small minority.
InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 3 months ago
I may be. I don’t care though. Every shit move they make will make more people like me and eventually the message will be heard. When their stock tanks like this, there will be changes.
