I dunno why so many people are dunkin on Ubisoft here. Sure, they make shit, but they’re commenting on an industry wide issue.
and it’s not just their industry. People are also going out to the movies less. Restaurant profits are down as people are staying in more often. I haven’t checked, but I imagine bars are likely struggling right now as well. It’s almost like Western economies are reaching a breaking point, and people are unable to afford anything beyond the bare necessities.

Do you want to know why? Read what people are saying. Ubi’s DRM policies have caused many, many people to lose access to their games. I have at least 4 Ubi games in my Steam Library that I can’t play. So … what’s that? A good $150 they owe me that I’ll never see? Gee. Why would I dislike them? Because they personallyh fuked me.

okay, but that’s not really what this story is about. it’s about an industry that is seeing the opening salvo of an impending economic collapse.

Read what people are saying. We disagree with your perspective and feel that this issue is justly deserved by Ubi’s behavior. Everyone was very, very clear about this. Our take is this is Ubi trying to hide their failure and blame it on an industry slump. So there ya go. Now you understand the article.
