Didn't buy any Ubisoft after far cry 3 which I'm glad.

Sadly u cant pirate Ubisoft games bcause they are using Denuvo DRM all the time. But you lose nothing, ubi games usually scks...

@@Krisztian5HUN actually u still can. It just takes long time to crack, thats all. But eh, like u said, nothing of value is lost

@@akiramurakami3177 not really at the moment nobody cracks denuvo, Empress is gone now (he was the only denuvo cracker)

@@Krisztian5HUN It usually takes 5 months longer, which is about the time Ubisoft needs to patch the game to be playable anyways.

Basically anything you buy digitally does this. All corporations do this. It's in TOA in everything. Y'all gonna stop listening to music through streaming? Nah. Also I feel like your type of comment is similar to when people wanted to boycott bud light for LGBTQ stuff. When in reality they'd have to boycott almost all alcohol as a whole since there's only like 2 or 3 alcohol corporations that own all the brands 🤣😂 I feel like y'all want to boy cott this decision to make yourselves feel better and on some moral or ethical high ground.....but if you actually were to be held accountable for your words than you'd just have to pretty much not buy anything ever again. Even physical cause those physical media copies are still produced by corps selling digital goods. Y'all may not like it but it's an issue now only after it's been in TOA for ages and we all knew it would happen. Ubi also isn't the first to do this. Ubi is just an easy punching bag and high profile. Y'all don't really care about this shit.

they have, just not enough people are willing to fully back a boycott yet, like once i saw this story forming about 2 week ago i stated in one of Ubisoft's game discussion boards that i will no longer purchase their games, even when on sale, and there was a game i was thinking about getting that was only $5 but i decided to not purchase the game because my understanding was that this idea that they are practicing will likely do this for all of their games in the future. i mentioned i don't trust Ubisoft and will no longer purchase any of their games now or their future games anymore until their company goes bankrupt and is purchased by some other company who treats their customer base better. ya know last year they were apart of a very similar controversy and the CEO at the time said they would never do this kind of thing, well it's been a while since that story and here we are with the same idea again and they are actually admitting it, when the same CEO comes out and says he wants gamers to become comfortable with not owning their games, we know they plan on taking all of their games back so that they can get people to get on their service Ubisoft connect, which is an endless subscription service. i feel Ubisoft needs to become comfortable with people no longer purchasing any of their games anymore, if enough people join in on this boycott, we will make a dramatic impact, but i hope people go as far as i do in just allowing their company to go bankrupt so they have to sell their entire IP library to some other company, because they can no longer be trusted.

If they forced companies to call their game transactions, “Rentals,” instead of purchases and forced them to get your agreement to their Terms Of Service BEFORE you pay for it, that would be more honest. In court, no gaming company would stand a chance! Imagine buying a TV, Car, light bulb, whatever, and then, when you get it home and go to use it for the first time, you get a text on your phone telling you that you must, “agree,” to their TOS or the thing just won’t work!? Then, when it fails to work you contact their support department and they tell you, “Oh, you can’t use it between midnight and 2:am. It’s in your 250 pages long TOS and you already agreed to it.” So you swallow your humiliation and get used to it, until 10 years later some guy shows up with a team of enforcers to take back your TV, car, or light bulb. When you try to prevent the theft, you’re told they don’t support that model anymore and YOU are on the wrong side of the, “law”??? Because THAT’S the level of brass balls these corpos are waving in our faces right now. And you know WHY they’re doing it? Because we let them get away with everything else up to now. We painted the word, “target,” on our uncritical, drooling faces and they keep taking their best shots. If we don’t act as one, sign those petitions and refuse to, “buy,” I mean RENT the low quality fetch-questathons these Ubisoftintheheads keep shatting out at us, then that’s on us.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Wouldn't this mean you can't play any game then? Since all of the disc have been license anyways for the most part? Which all require internet to verify the license? Or are they the game and they restrict the use of the game? I play Playstation so I don't know if PC is different in this case too

@@06AsiaMarie Most physical games (even PS5 games) still do contain a fully playable version of the game on the disc, no download or internet connection required to play and complete (other than an initial one for the console when you first set it up). Series X games are more spotty in this regard however.

Bro lives in the stone age😭 Bro puts a CD into into his console💀💀

​@BasedStarClips Lmao you sound stupid, but this is hilarious regardless 😂😂😂

@@BasedStarClips edited and still what is wrong with CD, if you favourite game got delisted would you still say the same thing

In the era of online gaming you have to assume that the always online game will someday be unplayable. It is what it is that’s why I usually don’t play them or atleast grow attached to it

@@BasedStarClips how is it stone age if it's still present

No it’s not like that

​@@ozziey52yes, it's like that. If not, prove me wrong then

@@ozziey52so it’s not like owning it, then getting it taken away? What else is it like, then?

@@CoffeeRising You never bought the game, you bought a license to access the game. If you bought said license, you agreed to the conditions Ubisoft put into the contract, you had to accept in order to play the game. It's all very transparent and legally solid.

@@Lemmiwings Then don't call it "buying" and call it what it should have been called: "renting". And because of this weird choice of wording any form of EULA will be voided e overuled with the right government ruling or law of your country once its taken to court. And it has happen before. And its also criminal that you need to buy a game BEFORE you are able to see the terms of service now we think about it.

Ubisoft already does that with their games from the 2010's. A lot of DLC for that era of games were stuck on servers that are no longer there. Hell they're still selling those games and they're not even functional anymore.

Those games would then at least still be playable in single player for those who bought it or have a physical copy. The crew basically is erased from existence aside from the game case which can be used for decoration now

They wont be pubished, they will be praised by other companies and other companies will do the same. We will all continue to buy (now rent) these games because we are consumers and will consume anything no matter what

which is why we the gamers should allow Ubisoft to go bankrupt so they have to sell their entire library to someone more competent. which means we all have to join in on this boycott so they sell everything, just hopefully the new owners don't get this wild hair up their asses as well, and if they do, then we know how to do this little dance once again.

@@AP90xthat’s how it works. Grow up

No, y’all just don’t understand things. Just play The Crew 2, it’s much better anyway. Y’all just love to hate and make a big deal of everything because you can on social media.

@@ozziey52 You sound deranged.

@@ozziey52 i could care less i never got the game and i know servers arent free to maintain but they still should've made an offline mode or make it so players host the servers.

​@@ozziey52 heck no, you are the one that don't understand things, if think you can just say "just play X game 2, it's much better anyway" then you are just being ignorant and blinded by corporate crap. Let's apply your argument to, for example, aoe2 vs aoe3 or red alert 2 vs red alert 3 or Starcraft1 vs Starcraft 2 or Dishonored 1 vs Dishonored 2, Your argument all the sudden falls apart and sounds absolutely silly. And mind you that all the later games from those franchises I mentioned above are technically better than previous ones with many improvements. Yet a lot of people still play the older games. Imagine the outrage if Blizshiet just removed Starcraft 1 from the store or steam removed skyrim5 or GTAV or Half life 2 because they are old games.

@@clips5552 closed minded.

They’re practicing what they preach, they want games to be rental agreements and not purchases

​@@bencarlson4300 they're not getting another rental from me

That's not what they said. Context is king.

@@kylebookout1789 actually one of their CEO's stated this and it was in fact mirrored in an article. i mean unless you can prove to me otherwise... i believe what i have read and seen and what they don't deny.

They're making it easy to be comfortable not owning their games when their games are Skull and Bones and AC Mirage.

And if there is no alternative, the end-of-life date should be published before players make their "purchasing" decision.

exactly.

yes, however they are also trying to do this with single player games as well, so it still stands in what they are doing is purposeful intent, also locking DLC behind a server was never a good idea, that makes me believe that this was always the reason why the DLC was behind the servers in the first place, especially for the single player games. i feel at this point there is no going back, we have to allow Ubisoft to go bankrupt so they become desperate to sell everything to another company who won't attempt this same dance.

not true. if you still own the license and have the source code available then you (or a group) of people can set up their own servers but only if you have access to the license or source code

finally someone said it as it is. This Luke just like to spark controversy by telling half stories

stop purchasing their games altogether and allow Ubisoft to go bankrupt so they have to sell to another company, and if that company tries the same bullshit, well then we can revisit this little dance once again, effectively creating the message this will happen to any company within the same industry this will happen to them if they attempt anything like this.

i think that will happen naturally with a sort of market equilibrium. none of these 70$ games are doing incredibly well and the ones that do reasonably pretty much deserve it. Dragons dogma 2 despite all the hate bcz of MTX and performance is an incredible game that deserved to do well with its high price tag. skull and bones however…

oh wow, my comment was completely destroyed yet again by youtube.

@@elpollo7079 dragon's dogma 2 absolutely does not deserve to do well with that price tag this is just blatant bias and fanboyism. mtx, trash peformance, unfinished game are all things people fight against but when something they like has it suddenly it's all good and they white knight it not to mention it didn't even have a ''new game'' button on launch and it has less content than the first game which is less than half the price. Probably one of the worst examples you could've given for ''good 70 dollar games''. FF7 rebirth would be an actual good example. Tons of content that is actually good and no mtx

@@senntai mtx in dragons dogma is literally inconsequential. the fact you’re complaining about it shows you never played it or if you did then you’re just hating for no reason. If you played you’d know you can buy anything in game except for a rly useless ring and necklace that simulates a rly cheap item in game(it raises affinity just like flowers do which you can pick up or buy for less than what a single goblin drops in gold). The mtx have nothing to do with the quality other than people not knowing or playing capcom games and thinking it’s gonna get worse over time when capcom has consistently stayed the same for nearly 20 years now. if CDPR suddenly started adding mtx like this i’d be concerned because it could be a slippery slope unlike here where it’s clearly a normal practice that does not escalate or affect the player in practically any way. as for performance you’re right. personally it is a single player game and 30fps really does not matter for me when playing a singleplayer rpg however i can totally understand why people are upset with it not reaching 60 on current gen consoles. and here in the last paragraph you’re just blatantly lying. In no way shape or form does dragons dogma 2 have less content than dragons dogma 1. You are looking back at the first game and including the DLC dark arisen as well as all others to “the first game” which adds way more content than the base game has. This is pretty much guaranteed to happen again with the sequel. And another thing what does content that is actually good mean? are you referring to performance or saying the game itself is bad? even luke who is a major skeptic loved the gameplay with his major issue being performance(again an understandable issue to have). Also i’ve heard great things of FF7 rebirth so that would probably be a better example however the only valid concern you’ve addressed over dragons dogma 2 is the performance which despite being a valid point is still highly subjective since the majority of casual gamers really could not care less if a game is running at 30 or 60fps. In any case I don’t expect you to reply since i’m just a “fanboy” but you have been genuinely manipulated by general gaming media to believe a great game is trash due to unremarkable-weak performance, micro transactions that have 0 effect on the game(you probably think you need to buy fast travel with mtx💀), and comparing this game with its predecessor including the several DLCs it received over years of development then saying the sequel has less content than the first when it’s just not true. Dragons dogma has issues, performance being one of them, but it is still a great 8/10 game with amazing gameplay and one of the best class systems in video game history.

same, i feel it's best to allow Ubisoft to go bankrupt on this idea, at that point they will sell their product to another company, hopefully that company has better business sense, if not and they try this little idea again, well then they can also go bankrupt.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Exactly. As customers we can talk as much as we want which of course we should as these companies need to know how we feel, however the only true way to make them change is to take away the only thing they care about, money. We do have the power but we need to use it.

You can’t provide an off-line mode to the crew because all the information is synced to a server. The server is shut off all the details and info connected to it are gone.

agreed, no DRM or other bullshit attached.

Sure, and whatever home project you started and didn't finish I should be able to come over and take your shit too.

@@BlurredVision18if it was a home project that I paid for, then you abruptly dropped it without telling me that when I bought it, then yes, I’m taking it

No star wars outlaws? 😢

​@@kylebookout1789The game looks like Absolute dogshit And most of The content is hidden behind "dlc:s"

@@kylebookout1789 hell no the mc looks like a mf neanderthal,

I'm afraid it's the whole Industry. Not just Ubisoft

Hmmmm like how blizzard rewrote over wc3 with their garbage reforged

This is why they want you on modern online consoles- to eventually have that kind of power.

Tbh we should just expect that always online or live service games, won't last forever.

@@johnnyjets2343well then they need to charge a fraction of the cost.

@aidenboyle3573 I wouldn't hold my breath.

@@johnnyjets2343 We should expect games to be designed with an end-of-life plan. We should expect the shut-off date to be known before making a purchasing decision.

@Ryzza5 what games are known to have an end of life plan? The things your saying just aren't going to happen honestly.

Ubisoft be like: you wouldn’t download a car…

You wouldn’t download a car…

Physical copies of The Crew are just as dead as the digital ones.

NEVER EVER Buy online only games. They'll eventually pull the plug on The Crew 2 and Motorfest and Skull and Bones in a few years.

over one crappy game lol the crew 2 is still around go play it it was 100 times better than the first one

@@TwistedSecrets777 it’s abt principle. No one is asking them to keep the servers online, fans can mod in a server. It’s abt the fact that they sold you a product then deleted it from your hard drive. All while pushing 130$ games. This is how it starts, first it’s a game people don’t really care about, then it only goes down hill from here.

​@@Lowkey-yb4nmyou're right

All storefronts have clear refund policies. They don’t care if you bought the game today or when it came it. Just gotta be careful

@@devbyrd6127 I know, and that's why I like buying games on GoG, but we rarely get to see companies abusing those policies the way Ubisoft did. What I'm saying is that it doesn't feel right.

Servers are going down in April.

Sounds right, but this is live service, and now that they can't sell it, they have no incentive to maintain the servers.

@@greedowins2917 the incentive is good-will so that players continue to "purchase" your new games. At least provide an offline patch, it can't be more than a couple hours work.

The community are making progress toward a server emulator and modding support (at least for PC versions).

I own(ed) 4 copies of this game across 2 steam accounts, one physical XBOX ONE, and one playstation 4 copy. I also have 2 receipts for gifted copies to steam friends. My main account has over 2.3k hours with all DLC purchased on it the steam account username (Phoach) its my 2nd most played game ever. This is an important part of growing up with games. This is the most important game to me, nothing comes close as this game does. I don't care about any other game.

And that doesn't even scratch the surface. I had friends that all I did was to go on road trips and do the 8hr faction races with and I'd also always participate in the Police PVP and I was rank 1 (top rank), I had every car in the game, but haven't had the chance to play with them all or even level them all up.

All I can say is learn from this. Never buy a game that you can't take and play Offline. Probably best to go GOG. And yes, this will mean you won't be able to play some online games, but why bother with Online when they can just take it away from you and you don't even get your money back?

somebody help this man

You won't

or just boycott the company for their current titles and their future so long as they still own the rights to it. basically allow them to go bankrupt on this idea and force them to sell out of desperation to another company. Ubisoft can no longer be trusted.

Big talk for some internet points 😂😂😂

@@user-tp5yb4hr4wyea buddy, that will definitely work!!

@@ozziey52 boycotting does work.

I don’t think consumers would win. Like a lawsuit wouldn’t really shake the gaming industry. Most likely Ubisoft would win in the end

@@devbyrd6127 Well, in EU it is illegal what Ubisoft does here. They can correct this "mistake" by providing an offline mode or a mode where people have to provide the servers themselves.

more like Ubisoft deserve it, i would rather they go bankrupt so they have to sell their entire IP library to another company than continue to support them.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w so who a company like Microsoft can come in and make it worse or Apple or Google it wouldn’t be better

@@WeKNOWTHETRUTHITSUNDISTPUTED obviously what i'm implying is if the new owner tries the same shit, then we the gamers can play this little dance again if they try this same nonsense. meaning any company who owns the IP's to these games will be given the same treatment. this idea will be used to force their hand to provide the gamers what they purchased without strings attached, because otherwise, this will happen to them as well.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w nothin is gonna happen this is another problem with gamers Reddit twitter and greedy KZfaqrs are not the majority of gamers there just not outlaws will find a audience and will be a one and done thing also this is nothing new with Ubisoft they did the same thing with the last few assassins creed games and they sold like hotcakes so

Nobody paid less, it was a full price game at least initially. Ubisoft already has a 'GamePass' rental option which is not what anyone is complaining about.

Exactly, could you imagine if Valve pulled something like this with our massive Steam libraries. Thankfully they seem to be a lot more trustworthy than EA or Ubisoft, even if they aren't perfect.

The Crew is an online game, a disk means nothing to it, the protest isn't about physical media vs digital, it's about letting players open up servers if the company won't do it.

In general, yes, physical media helps preserve games but in instances like The Crew where it's an online only game, the disc becomes a useless circle thing. You can load The Crew on console, but you can't play the game, you can't get passed the main menu since there is no server to connect to. Unless there is a way to rip the console version to PC via emulation and create a server to run the game, we will never play TC1 again. The same thing will happen to every online only game at some point in time regardless of digital or physical.

Then Explane star wars outlaws? Internet connection

@corytimmons1418 to install the game yes but once installed you don't need it. I'd say majority of gamers have access to internet these days. If not then they got other issues going on at home.

This. Many us warned and we warned hard. We got shut out and no one cared. They're caring now.

Tell that to Budweiser and Gillette. People boyycoytedbtheir product, they lost millions. I know it was about advertising but it shows boycotting does work. The thing with Nestle is that they have own so many different products, unless you are knowledgeable you wouldn't know . Mars is the same, would you know they own Wrigleys gum ?

I knew this would happen which is why I've been on GOG for years. loving it. We warned, but if people would rather trust UBIsoft/etc rather than keep their games there's nothing we can do for them.
