Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative
-
During the last sale recently I was looking for an open world racing sim. Ended up getting Forza Horizons 5 over Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 because they killed off and removed my copy of The Crew from my library, so they can get fucked.
Idk if Microsoft Studios is the better choice here lol

Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either “remaster” the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.
Nintendo is doing exactly that (pulling games from stores, letting them die). Now that they have more invasive DRM in their latest console, they might even take a more active approach like Ubisoft wegen it comes to live service games. Let’s just “sunset” Mario kart world live service and brick it in a couple of years?

They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.

He should probably concentrate making games people want to play instead. Ubisoft is down the drain.
The Stop Killing Games demands are not hard to meet, unless you’re a greedy little shitgoblin.

No they didn’t. It was delisted from stores. The game still works if you own it, or even if you go out today and buy a used physical copy. Same goes for all of the delisted FH games.
Delistings are not what SKG is about and I wish people would stop pretending it is.

You at least can still play the old Horizon games. Just not buy them. The Crew is unplayable and was forcibly removed from people’s accounts. Do still agree screw Microsoft though.

All the old delisted forza horizon games are still playable. Can’t say that about the crew.

He’s so old. No wonder Ubisoft is so close to bankrupcy.

Guillemot told shareholders that Ubisoft works hard to ensure games stay playable, saying the company offers “a lot of support” and services to keep games accessible “24/7.” However, he stated that “support can’t last forever.”
Ah, the same BS again and again.
Little real life hack:
-
Someone says that.

Say: That’s not what it’s about.
-
Leave them standing and refuse to talk to them like they refuse to understand or act like they don’t understand what SKG is about.
Think about it. They either don’t understand it but still expect to be taken seriously or they actively try to hurt the movement and don’t argue in good faith. So why bother?

What kind of aggressive DRM? Wouldn’t the same kind of hack as usual work? As in, hack the hardware, every game becomes playable?

And then we kill Ubisoft. Murder by no purchases.
