The unfortunate thing about Ubisoft is there was a period in the early 2000s when it felt like they could do no wrong. The early Splinter Cell games, the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy, Rayman 3, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, Beyond Good & Evil- Ubisoft had a great batting average at one point!

There's a delicate relationship between entertainment companies and their fans. The fans know that these are for-profit companies and are generally fine with that as long as the products they release feel like labours of love. As soon as the products start feeling more 'corporate' than creative and the company gives the impression of wanting to reach into the pockets of their fans and extract every last cent is when that relationship breaks down.

There also was a short time where they limited on how many PCs you could install a game. To three, specifically. Like, you would buy a CD in a store, install it on your PC and laptop. Reinstall both and it would error out and lock you out of playing the game forever… until they removed that system too. They really have a history of hostile anti consumer practices that makes pirating their games the objectively better experience.

One issue with their open world games being repetitive is that they lead the way in the sometimes overwhelming “check list” type of open world content rather than creating meaningful experiences to keep players engaged. This makes going through the game feeling more like a chore than something fun once you realize the repetitiveness of it early on. The Ubisoft towers are a good example of one such “check list” type task.

They're the company that's been treating their well loved franchises as trash and have begun prioritizing pachinko machines instead, and people have not been happy with them.

Yeah but who's to blame? If I sell you sht after sht and you keep throwing me money like a stripper, I will keep giving you sht, no matter how much you claim to hate me. I don't mean you when I say "you", I mean all of us. I decided a while ago that I'll never buy/consume anything from companies that hate me, like Disney. It's the best thing we can do: to protest with our wallets. The thing is that we are fkg stupid. Look all the hype in every channel for Starfield. It's cringe AF. The last time this happened was with Fallout 76. they are doing the same, selling special boxes with watches and collection crap, just as they did with Fallout 76, and the quality was Wish quality, as much. It was a scam and the game was atrocious. Now, the same people who went nuts (for good reasons), are making videos everyday about a game that isn't out yet, bragging about all that promo crap they have already purchased for hundreds of dollars, and about they are pre ordering for a fkg digital copy. This only happens in this world of video games. I always make the same example: Imagine that you buy a car, and you can't even leave because it doesn't start. they tell you that they need a couple of days to fix it. You come back and the car starts, but the lights don't work, and they tell you that you have to pay 200 extra bucks for that. You pay it. You leave but the car can't reach 60 miles per hour. You call and they say that you also have to pay for that. and so on. Would you buy more cars from that brand? Well, gamers always come back to buy more cars. We are stupid. That's the problem.

If the game did really good or if they had more story to tell, a full expansion would be released. Back then it was about passion and having a great time, now it's just about $$$ no matter what they tell you or how much they pretend otherwise. Ahh the good old times.

The thing is companies aren’t game developers, companies are companies and all it takes is a leadership change and people with new ideas coming in to change what development they are backing. I think the mistake we make as a consumers is making ‘companies’ authors of games and giving them the same faith we would the person/people who actually did the game development. In most cases, companies are just financial backers of games. They can change what they want to focus their monetary backing on at any time and change who is making those financial backing decisions.

They are literally just recycling their products for a notoriously predatory new market instead of continuing to push boundaries like they used to in the early to mid-2000s. They've also abandoned their big franchises like Splinter Cell, and Beyond Good & Evil, and produce lackluster new versions of games like the new Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and terrible mix-mashes like XDefiant, that nobody wanted.

Ubisofts DRM was even more wacky then you mentioned. There used to be a system where you'd get "uplay coins" for doing things in game that could then be redeemed in the uplay manager/ubisoft connect. This was really just a bizarre excuse to justify being always online despite most of their games being mostly or entirely singleplayer. It also made the games worse by breaking immersion, and forcing you to interact with a store front for in game content. That was, thankfully, gotten rid of a while ago, and now a lot of older games will just give you all the items which were previously redeemable. Very strange.
@Julio_Gomes 9 місяців тому
I actually liked the uplay coins. I accumulated a *bunch* of them, in the hundreds and I got some really cool prizes to brag about in online games and to enjoy in single player, and got kinda pissed when they became available for everyone, since that was just wasted time. But to be fair the reason I had so many coins was mostly because of the amount of ubisoft games I had, and less because of time invested in the challenges. Still, they were cool.

But somewhere in the late 2000s they started dropping the ball and honestly I don't play many of their games at all. I think most of what was said in the video is true. And honestly you could feel Ubisoft changing to only caring about money. I mean look at Assassin's Creed and how they just basically stopped the modern day story and decided to only focus on the past.

When customers complained Ubisoft said its next major release wouldn't include said DRM. Game comes out, it included the DRM. Game was broken and unplayable. To top it all off the CEO gave an interview calling "95% of pc gamers pirates". I never bought another Ubisoft game since. It's been over a decade. I have no regrets.

Which is like the whole point of having closed testing. Also the differences between the beta games and actual release games was so little sometimes that the only differece they would have would be increased microtransactions. I am not even joking.

@Dogbearr 10 місяців тому
The one thing I wish you talked about is how they recently shut down the servers of some older (but still fairly popular games). While shutting down servers after a game's population dwindles isn't unheard of, it made some games effectively lose content that people had paid for. Splinter Cell: Blacklist has co-op that makes up at least a third of the game's gameplay content, as well as bonus DLC Co-op missions you can buy. Ubisoft shut down the game's servers sometime last year with no alternative to keep playing these missions. Console versions of the game could use split-screen I believe, but that is obviously not going to work for everyone or even be the most ideal experience and that still left PC players in the dust. I believe they recently brought the servers back up (or lobbies might be locally hosted now) which is definitely a plus. I wonder if they actually heard the backlash from players after shutting down their servers initially and went the right direction. Or maybe they wanted people to continue buying their older games. Hard to say at this point.

I worked with them until recently so I can say some stuff. Their customer service have gone from average to downright catastrophic. Instead of listening to the agents interacting directly and implementing solutions they just kept applying bandaid on a deep wound. Most of their support staff is from sub-contractors who are poorly trained and have insane KPIs (the average handling time for emails is 9 minutes and going to get lowered to 6 minutes soon and for chats it's 15 minutes). Software they work with is not very well maintained and causes lots of delay in getting work done for players. Their troubleshooting methodes are laughable (I worked with PC hardware for 20 years), I practically ignored all of their knowledge base articles and gave troubleshooting steps as per my own analysis on a case by case basis, which have worked wonders but wasn't appreciated by management (how dare I solve problems instead of blindly following a mish-mash of inaccurate tech TS steps). I got so fed up with them that I decided to jump ship before it hit the iceberg (which they are aware is coming soon). Sad thing to see, I really enjoyed working with some amazing people (customers and colleagues).

Which young 10 yo me was pissed, it actually got me to send them an email. Which of course didn’t matter lol. Anyways I do agree that I too have a weird love/hate relationship. With the company. I want them to make more rayman titles, the weird world and style of those games were very interesting and I’d like to see what they could pull off with the current gen tech in terms of making a brand new 3D game. Now when raving rabbids was released, as much as it wasn’t the game I wanted rayman to have it was really fun. I recalled putting in many hours with that quirky little game, and it got my niece and nephew into playing videogames too. So I wound up buying copies of all future installments. It was a solid party game series with plenty of comic mischief and violence you cannot get with the typical Nintendo cast. I just wished we got the game of ending those dumb rabbits like it was first announced, we probably could’ve spared the world from Minions if Ubisoft didn’t put in all that attention into the rabbids. Truly Ubisoft’s most infamously unspoken crime. Love the rabbids, still gotta look at illumination a bit sideways though… As for AC, loved brotherhood. Black flag was…alright.
