It couldn’t happen to a better publisher!

This is what happens when you continually release unfinished buggy games that are just copy paste jobs from years prior.

oh no, anyone but Tencent… If Tencent continue to buy all gaming related companies it will be in kind of monopole where an actor in the market is so big it decide of the rules regardless of the concurrence (see Chrome monopoly in which google decision now prevail the W3C) that’s bad for consumers…

Consolidation definitely isn’t good, however the alternative is that Ubisoft goes out of business, and while I don’t want hard working people to lose their jobs, the leadership and game design philosophy at Ubisoft will be their undoing regardless. Tencent is really good at putting out games that are live service AIDS, and Ubisoft wishes they were that successful at it.

We’re never getting Beyond Good and Evil 2…

What does “live service AIDS” mean?

MaggiWuerze@feddit.org on 04 Oct 2024 19:02 collapse

Probably the superlative of “live service cancer”
