If I understand it correctly ubi was the company that was the straw that triggered the pettition. That has to sting
Yep, years ago now, Ross got particularly irked by Ubisoft’s The Crew being… well, at that point in time, at risk of being shut down, at some point in the future.

Yeah, 7 years ago, fuck lol.
I’ve been watching Ross since before SKG, before the Game Dungeon… even before Mind of Freeman, when he was doing basically MetroCop skits in I think Garry’s Mod?
I genuinely recommend him as just a normal type of good, underrated (untill extremely recently lol) just uh, guy who reviews weird old video games, with wit, humor, critiques, praise, and often interesting insights into what the message of a game says as real world social commentary.
Repeat after me: Unsupported is fine. Remotely disabled is not fine.
completely fails to understand difference
would try to eat some of those tasty baklava looking rocks if my assistant didnt stop me. The bitch.
He should put his energy instead to making games work on Linux to increase the profit potential.
They already do work, Ubisoft just doesn’t let them!
”support can’t last forever.”
True, and it costs money to operate. You know how to fix that? Just release the source code of the server software, idiot.
No but see he wouldn’t be in control then.
Ubisoft is the first company that comes to mind when I worry about games going offline.
I’ve talked about it before, but I have something like $2k sunk into Rocksmith 2014 and associated peripherals. I’m not aware of any other game like it for bass guitar, and the new service model of Rocksmith looks like AI shit.
If / when they take down the servers is going to be a very sad day for me.
Ubisoft is framing the narrative as if online only access games are the only way to go. All they have to do is make it so that people can keep an offline single player version of it forever, problem solved.
Of course, then they would lose control. The simple fact is, they only have control if people choose to consume their media. I choose not to, many others will stop as well.
Indie developers, crush them.
Oh a CEO? Of a company that makes a franchise where characters go around assassinating the unjust?
Nah I’m just imagiluiging things.
Thats a good sign, sign the petition if you can
What an old dude. No wonder Ubisoft doesn’t get gamers
Ubisoft’s CEO can suck it.
Stop giving Ubisoft money. Their games are all garbage.
Let them die and fade into obscurity.
Good. Let’s make it known exactly who is trying to steal away consumer rights. Make their names and faces known to everyone. Make it known they can’t win. That they can’t take back what has already been sold.
Haven’t read this much bullshit coming from somebody for a while now.
