Man, I remember when the $180 version of AAA games would come with a big ass statue, an art book, a whole ass album, 3 keychains and a pack of cards for no reason. Take me baaack mannnn 😭
Odyssey was full of content, literally, and mercenaries come to u so u wont never get bored. If only battle mechanics were more fun. But yea it was not actually assassin xD. Prolly biggest open world with actual content.
Shadow of the colossus feels more alive and the whole damn point is it's meant to be completely abandoned!!! But it's also a game that's well designed tbf
What does far cry 2 and halo infinite have in common, there both pay to play and functionality the same game design wise with vast open spaces of nothingness empty and desolate with two maps locked behind a story wall
As a former Ubisoft employee who showed up to work one day to find my login credentials had been changed, and myself as well as about 60 other of my co-workers had all been let go randomly without notice I have a bit of resentment towards them. The signs were obvious asI noticed they were hiring an insane amount of new hires from the Philippines, India, and just South East Asia (and paying them 60% of what they paid us in the US). Also this happens right as they surpass their yearly goal by 40% above expectation...but somehow they don''t have money to keep loyal employees and replace them all. Greed at it's finest and it shows across all aspects of how they run their business. Nice job UBI!
It’s crazy to me that companies keep going to other countries like eventually everyone going to get sick on them and start burning shit down like I work at Kraft and there thinking of doing the same thing

Let's not forget that Ubisoft also has executives who want us to 'be comfortable with not owning our games'. While paying up to $130 to 'not own' them.
The guy actually never said that lol. You are running with a clickbait headline you read and proving definitively how media illiterate gamers are. The actual context of what was said was a Ubisoft exec answering a question about how they expect subscription services to survive going forward. His answer to that was that subscription services can only survive "if gamers are comfortable not owning games". He was only referring to subscription services. That quote had nothing to do with individual purchases of games.
@@khaledm.1476 Ubisoft is one company trying to push the industry forward in that regard. Non-ownership to the point of even taking away purchases (with no refund), because the price you paid was more akin to something like a ticket to an amusement park.

When ubisoft told the world to get comfortable with not owning the content they purchase from ubisoft, the only option became to never "purchase" their products again.
Speaking of Avatar, I ended up buying a new physical copy at a discount and they really messed up with that game. The progression in some cases is tied to getting specific crafting materials under very specific circumstances which means you have to sit and wait a lot of the time so that you can attempt to get said materials. It's made worse by the fact that you need to use your bird thing, jump off of it and "float" down the leaves of trees just to acqure them.
Not even close - I have been tipped before service multiple times, if it's a decent tip, then they get the service they tipped for. That's the difference, no matter how much you tip ubisoft - they aren't going to change. You buying these only rewards their shitty behavior and encourages them to get worse.
Nah its not the same bro, not even close. At least you're helping a minimum wage worker and you can definitely do that, it's a good deed even.

I haven't played a single Baldur's Gate game but every passing day my respect just gets increased a million times for Baldur's Gate 3 and their developers.
If playing a sequel without playing the previous games is what's holding you back, 3 has no connections to the first 2 games outside of 1 or 2 companions that are in each game. If you like rpgs, I can't recommend BG3 more. Single beat RPG of the past 10 years at least

it's just a game, stop kissing the devs ass, there still time to fuck this up like every game released today. What a great time for gaming, where in a game that you can get f-ked by a bear is the best on the market.
The outrage just keeps resetting between video game companies. We were mad at Sony over HD2, then we were mad at Microsoft over closing the Studio that made Hi-Fi Rush. Now we're mad at Ubisoft for the new AC game. It's like these companies are just taking aggro from each other so we all reset and forget how terrible they all are.
Never forget Japan Studio too, which for most people would be remembered for knack 2 but they also made the incarnation of underrated franchise that is Gravity Rush.
Kinda wishing someone would edit together that "hi there" with that one clip of charlie screaming and beating the ground/floor from a couple of days ago
The funny thing is that their flagship series is about fighting an evil syndicate obsessed with world domination and yet they are becoming an evil greedy company
The disconnect is present because every company is greedy but the actual creators of the product, the workers, are not. It's less hypocritical when you realize that the devs aren't the ones setting pricing and shit like that. So they create a story about greedy evil people, and executives profit off of that story.
@@Zack-vi7is I think people are generally aware of that, hence everyone pissing on Ubisoft just broadly, rather than naming the specific branches or studios that made any of these games. It's "just" a "funny coincidence", is all. An evidence of tone deafness, a complete lack of awareness of either the nature of the product, or the nature of their own behaviour in relation to it.
After Ubisoft shut down the servers for older games like Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and Far Cry 3, players could no longer access the full content of these games through official channels. This includes DLCs, which require the servers to function. Consequently, Ubisoft has inadvertently taught us that one should never buy a Ubisoft game if they want to experience it fully at any point in the future. This lesson was further emphasized by "The Crew Incident." Therefore, when considering Ubisoft, EA, or any other similarly greedy company, one should always remember: "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing."
I mistakenly got the collectors edition for Valhalla, and it did come with (maybe) 12” eivor figure, a small figurine, a disc of the soundtrack, and a few pictures, all for a whopping $200. I remember being more hyped for this game than life itself, and I followed every bit of news on it for months through every stage of development (before the setting and the title were even confirmed), I spent countless hours on RUclips watching any Valhalla content I could find. I got my grandma to get me the collectors edition for me for my birthday (which happened to be a few days after release), and I had plans to play for months without putting it down. I played until I got bored, then I continued to force myself to play in denial that this game (which had been nearly the center of my life to this point) was a massive, boring, disappointment. Months of hype and anticipation… just for me to not even have gotten halfway through. On top of that I also felt guilty bc my grandma spent 200 on a game I havent touched in probably 3 years. So overall, fuck you Ubisoft for giving me false hype and wasting g-maws money😢 (I’ll probably still play the game eventually lmao)
That’s the thing that sucks, they used to make great games now they make nothing but stinkers from the games they make and how they handle the business side
@@NetSraC1306 it's unbelievable. Games shouuld have never passed the 60 dollar treshold, I bet you in a few years it's gonna be a 100 for the base game.. GTA 6 will probably be like 80-90 for the base game I feel like
I miss the days Ubisoft would make great single player games like Prince of Persia, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell. Sad to see greed taking over their company culture.
So, you could buy an assassins creed game in full, which is likely not to be that great just by judging ubisofts history, for $200, or you can buy literally any other game, and it is going to cost significantly less almost every single time
The fact that Ubisoft is able to charge you $130 or even $300 dollars for the collectors edition without a single second of gameplay being shown should literally be considered illegal
It's why the gaming market is the way it is. Don't blame Ubisoft for doing something scummy. Blame the gamers who mindlessly consume and don't care. If I could get people to buy my game before it even comes out for $130 without even as little as a trailer I'd do it too. It's gamers fault because ultimately people will buy this and it'll probably make money so other devs will do it as well. Same thing with micro transactions. Other companies saw how successful and how willing gamers were to accept it so now it's the norm.
Years ago, I worked at Ubisoft Québec for a couple of months. Honoured to have worked with the OG director for PoP and Assassin's Creed. We had a long conversation outside work hours. Needless to say he feels the same way.
When UBI tried implementing NFTs I deleted my launcher and never looked back and to this day no new release even gave me a moment of "maybe I should try it out".
You can repeat it as many times as you want but drooling fanboys will keep buying them and then complaining. While games like Baldurs Gate will "have their respect" but they dont buy those, as one bright fella admitted in these comments. So, supply is gonna match the demand thats how economy works. Nobody gives a fuck about respect or complains if they are not backed by the wallet.
The problem though is that they're targeting general audiences, who play games less commonly, and don't mind simple games, even if they're expensive. Gamers will buy this game because they're stupid, every one else will buy this because it's a 70-130 dollar expense that gives them a few weekends of entertainment.
@@biIIy42697 because it is stupid to pay this much for a mediocre game with 0 promise. if the ppl just cracked it or stopped paying these prices everyone would be better off
Remember, this is the same Ubisoft that took The Crew behind the shed as they were talking about gamers not getting comfortable with owning games. This is also the same Ubisoft that cancelled a potentially awesome Rainbow Six single player game called "Patriots" a decade ago despite all the hype it generated.
@@SirSabzZaNot really. What’s wrong with a game for Americans to enjoy? Games don’t need to be for fucking everyone FFS. By that logic Elden ring should have a difficulty slider.
@SirSabzZa I mean can't you say the same in any game where America kind of takes a backseat? You need more than home for me to go ape brain to say dis gud. By itself that doesn't say anything.
Wouldnt call this a bad decision because people are dumb enough to fall for it. AC Shadows is already the 3rd most sold game on the ps5 store this month and the 1st most sold on japanese amazon
the worst decisions of today will be the norm of tomorrow. Elden ring doesn't even have a pause button, neither does destiny or for the longest time valheim. So many games are online only full of microtransactions on a 70$ game. Pc gamers don't even own physical media anymore and eventually it will get phased out from consoles as well so the publishers get complete control. Because as soon as someone offers you convenience you are willing to give up your rights
i wonder if theyre doing the three days late instead of early so people dont realize theyre being scammed with the preorder shit, but also so to lock people out of the preorder shit
Only subscription game I play is FFXIV, and that's because it's remained a solid experience throughout all these years. If you're interested, I'd recommend checking out God Eater if you haven't already. Pretty fun games with no monetization. Just buy the game and play
Never have I ever, in all my years of watching Charlie have expected him to open a rant video with a “hiiii there :3” greeting as he waves his hands like an adorable anime character
I was initially confused as to why everyone was up in arms about the 130 dollar price point because, as a collector, I've seen some crazy game collection prices. I didn't realize that there was no physical component to the Ultimate edition. That's disgusting.
You have no idea how expensive collectors editions are. Literally no one is selling a collectors edition for that cheap. If you want physical items you're paying almost double that. Elden Rings collectors edition, which only comes with a statue, is $250. This is not a Ubisoft specific thing. Everyone is charging more for things.
@@Zack-vi7is I used to be a big fan of Limited Run games and their collector’s editions were cheaper than average but could still get up the the 175 dollar mark. So yes, I suppose I didn’t realize they got *that* crazy, but I knew they were pricey.
@@Zack-vi7is Tbf, most "collector Editions" don't come with a $180 usd statue to begin with. Most collector editions comes in a steel case with maybe a poster or 2 of something related to the game itself. Elden Ring's collector edition is a exception, not the rule.
I think the music and/or car licences expired, so it's not completely their fault. They likely could've paid more money to have the licencing indefinitely.
@@Skornishnot likely, they definitely could have, Ubisoft has insane amounts of money, they have some of the most popular ips in the world that they’ve been milking and min maxing how much money they can get out of them, only thing stopping them from paying the licenses is if the companies themselves just refused to allow them for whatever reason, but I don’t see that being a thing at all because the crew games exist, that’s probably why they let driver die off, because they’d rather people funnel to their newer car games to spend more money on them
Here in Japan BASE GAME is $100, $160 for Gold, $200 for Ultimate. Nearly $20/ month for Ubisoft+ is wild. All that gets is a couple Far Cry and AC games. Meanwhile gamepass is $8/month haha.
I honestly don’t think it’d be that bad 18$ you play a game early than people who paid full price you can decide weather or not you want to buy it or not after . If it’s close to the same length as mirage you could easily finish the game in that amount of time
They gonna release another edition call "Pre-Alpha" Gets to play it day 1 as they continue to add more story lines, do fixes, add features along the way
What's the point to pay for pre-alpha if the games are released on beta these days? Why pay more to have a more buggy version? Buy the game when it's finished (nowadays about a year after release, unless they add more drm that broke the game).
I wish I could until there were pseudo "hoarder investors resellers" and fat balding neckbeards that started buying bulk older consoles to create scarcity and sell them high price. I hate it out there, Bro.
Yep..... Nothing like the good old days, where you simply walked into the store and just *bought the game* and then had full access to said game right out of the box. What a wild concept *THAT* was.
@@jackcoldstone7235 isn’t the first one with the airplane exploding? The free way is in the second one if I recall. Last I watched it was a year ago so I could be wrong
In Black Flag, an Abstergo worker mentions Shadows. They say something like “We should have a lineage back to Feudal Japan… I heard his ancestor was Asian.” It’s the first time you walk through the lobby just before you get your little Tablet thing. It’s crazy that they’ve been thinking about it since black flag and they’re still going to ruin it.

@@ightimmaheadout6903 The Crew REQUIRED online connectivity, they shit down the servers, in turn, the game no longer works regardless of if you own the disk.

The extra skill points annoy me the most, because i know for a fact that they dont account for them. We saw the last time they did it that you'll just end up as max level with 5 skill points left over, because you can't upgrade anything more. They are beyond worthless.
Would you be happier if, in order to max out your skill tree you needed the ultimate pack for the extra skill points? No? Then stop whining about it, the extra skill points are to progress faster
@armchair69 I'd be happier if they just set you to level 6 from the start instead of level 1 with 5 extra skill points. That way you still progress faster and don't end up with the left over skillpoints that show how worthless your purchase was. Especially since they usually leave skills locked behind level or mission requirements meaning you often spend your extra points out of frustration or a feeling that you need to spend them, and thus spend them on useless shit.
@@creeperslayer241 Just pirate the fucking game and stop whining like little bitches on the internet, like holy shit, pirate it, try it out.

Never forget Japan Studio too, which for most people would be remembered for knack 2 but they also made the incarnation of underrated franchise that is Gravity Rush.

This is the definition of highway robbery.
The collector's edition down here (aka the only edition with "Everything" included) is 360$ aud.
The funny thing is that their flagship series is about fighting an evil syndicate obsessed with world domination and yet they are becoming an evil greedy company
Becoming?
"they are becoming" as if this is a new thing
"becoming"
The disconnect is present because every company is greedy but the actual creators of the product, the workers, are not. It's less hypocritical when you realize that the devs aren't the ones setting pricing and shit like that. So they create a story about greedy evil people, and executives profit off of that story.
@@Zack-vi7is I think people are generally aware of that, hence everyone pissing on Ubisoft just broadly, rather than naming the specific branches or studios that made any of these games. It's "just" a "funny coincidence", is all. An evidence of tone deafness, a complete lack of awareness of either the nature of the product, or the nature of their own behaviour in relation to it.
After Ubisoft shut down the servers for older games like Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and Far Cry 3, players could no longer access the full content of these games through official channels. This includes DLCs, which require the servers to function. Consequently, Ubisoft has inadvertently taught us that one should never buy a Ubisoft game if they want to experience it fully at any point in the future. This lesson was further emphasized by "The Crew Incident."
Therefore, when considering Ubisoft, EA, or any other similarly greedy company, one should always remember:
"If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing."
Say it louder for the boot lickers in the back!!!!!!
They also shut down The Crew for the servers but their is the link to stop shutting down games which is called Stop Killing Games.
Due to Uplay, on PC, ubisoft games are unequivocally better when you don't pay for them 😂
They shut down the Crew to the point that you can't even play it. At all.
@@carbonphantom1 I know
Here in Brazil the ultimate edition costs half of a minimun wage.
Unbelievable. The log truck scene is from the highway crash in Final Destination 2. I've never been more disappointed in you, Charles.
remember when 120 bucks would get you a collector edition, where it actually gives you physical collectables ?
Physcial collectables? What are these? Can we add them to the battle pass? 🤔
Me too
I mistakenly got the collectors edition for Valhalla, and it did come with (maybe) 12” eivor figure, a small figurine, a disc of the soundtrack, and a few pictures, all for a whopping $200. I remember being more hyped for this game than life itself, and I followed every bit of news on it for months through every stage of development (before the setting and the title were even confirmed), I spent countless hours on RUclips watching any Valhalla content I could find. I got my grandma to get me the collectors edition for me for my birthday (which happened to be a few days after release), and I had plans to play for months without putting it down. I played until I got bored, then I continued to force myself to play in denial that this game (which had been nearly the center of my life to this point) was a massive, boring, disappointment. Months of hype and anticipation… just for me to not even have gotten halfway through. On top of that I also felt guilty bc my grandma spent 200 on a game I havent touched in probably 3 years. So overall, fuck you Ubisoft for giving me false hype and wasting g-maws money😢 (I’ll probably still play the game eventually lmao)
@@theguywithahoodie458 Yeah you need to start going out more buddy, touch some grass.
@@theguywithahoodie458 glad you're starting to understand the emptiness of spending 5x on something
The Ubisoft that made gems like Splinter Cell is not the same Ubisoft that exists today.
That’s the thing that sucks, they used to make great games now they make nothing but stinkers from the games they make and how they handle the business side
Fuck I miss Splinter Cell though, Urban Chaos and Syphon Filter. Those were the times.
That was Damm near 30 yrs ago. Those team members are long gone and dead mate! Not the same company.
This goes for most game companies.
POP SOT Trilogy and AC Ezio Trilogy...the two top tier trilogy from Ubisoft before...yup no longer the same Ubisoft nowadays
I remember paying like 100 dollar on a bundle, but the bundle even had physical figures of the characters that I loved
BRUH, WHAT ARE THE ODDS!? Video just ended and I literally got an ad for Assassin's Creed Shadows at the end LOL
And just remember, Ubisoft believes you should be comfortable with 'not owning' this $130+ game (should you choose to purchase it)
you know whats even worse? That there are more than enough people pre-order this shit and defend their behaviour
@@NetSraC1306 it's unbelievable. Games shouuld have never passed the 60 dollar treshold, I bet you in a few years it's gonna be a 100 for the base game.. GTA 6 will probably be like 80-90 for the base game I feel like
You should be comfortable living in a mental asylum looking at ur pf and channel.
@@suggondees4882 Yall have it easy. In the eu the base price for a game is 70-80€ on console.
And then there's people who call you broke if point out how scummy it is. It's so joever for us gamers..
I miss the days Ubisoft would make great single player games like Prince of Persia, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell. Sad to see greed taking over their company culture.
Didn't seem to find you here on this platform
Oh my God, the last time I've heard the name "Splinter Cell" was before 2014... wow...
Yeah, they used to have some actually good games.
don't forget about what happened to the crew, they straight up killed that game
Wooo! A legend remembers the legendary game, Prince of Persia Sands of Time Trilogy!
Yes, I do agree with you, bruv.
4:20 those pre-order prices are crazy just for a Mission
I was not expecting that intro.
In Australia, 99.95 for the base, 159.95 for gold, 189.95 ultimate..... ALMOST $200 AUD?
Assassins greed :shadows of a dead series
This why i wait a bit buy keys on discount
It's free if you don't buy it. Also a good way to have less disappointment in your life when it inevitably sucks.
Someone realised people wait for games to be 50% off. All good! Let’s make them $200 so we can actually get our old $100 back
So, you could buy an assassins creed game in full, which is likely not to be that great just by judging ubisofts history, for $200, or you can buy literally any other game, and it is going to cost significantly less almost every single time
The fact that Ubisoft is able to charge you $130 or even $300 dollars for the collectors edition without a single second of gameplay being shown should literally be considered illegal
Exactly! We don't even know what to expect. The sheer audacity is allowed bc "whales" don't give a damn
It's why the gaming market is the way it is. Don't blame Ubisoft for doing something scummy. Blame the gamers who mindlessly consume and don't care. If I could get people to buy my game before it even comes out for $130 without even as little as a trailer I'd do it too. It's gamers fault because ultimately people will buy this and it'll probably make money so other devs will do it as well. Same thing with micro transactions. Other companies saw how successful and how willing gamers were to accept it so now it's the norm.
To be fair I’m pretty sure EA sports does this every year with all their re skinned sports ball games
@@carlosperalta1714 It's literally the same game every time, you know exactly what to expect.
Ok but like, you don't have to buy it? Use your head bro
Years ago, I worked at Ubisoft Québec for a couple of months. Honoured to have worked with the OG director for PoP and Assassin's Creed. We had a long conversation outside work hours. Needless to say he feels the same way.
That was the most terrifying "Hi there" I have ever witnessed. Hitchcock would have retired if he saw that on the big screen.
When UBI tried implementing NFTs I deleted my launcher and never looked back and to this day no new release even gave me a moment of "maybe I should try it out".
I pirated origins, odyssey and valhalla. Also stole all the mtxes with cheat engine for free. Still felt scammed with valhalla.

Idk how many times it needs to be said, DON'T BUY THE GAME. The ONLY way this stops is if you hit them where it hurts.
You can repeat it as many times as you want but drooling fanboys will keep buying them and then complaining. While games like Baldurs Gate will "have their respect" but they dont buy those, as one bright fella admitted in these comments. So, supply is gonna match the demand thats how economy works. Nobody gives a fuck about respect or complains if they are not backed by the wallet.
The problem though is that they're targeting general audiences, who play games less commonly, and don't mind simple games, even if they're expensive. Gamers will buy this game because they're stupid, every one else will buy this because it's a 70-130 dollar expense that gives them a few weekends of entertainment.
@@ThorDude I mean yeah it's their money and their choice to buy the game. Why are you calling them stupid over it? Because you don't like Ubisoft?
I'm gonna buy it
@@biIIy42697 because it is stupid to pay this much for a mediocre game with 0 promise. if the ppl just cracked it or stopped paying these prices everyone would be better off
The logs? From the car crash, in FD2
"Pre-order our game or you won't get the little mission we cut out of your purchase".
The prices Ubisoft are throwing out are actually horrendous. Does anyone actually pay full price for this??
Yes. That's why they get away with it
The only game that was actually worth it was watch dogs 3 almost forgot it was ubi 😂

Remember, this is the same Ubisoft that took The Crew behind the shed as they were talking about gamers not getting comfortable with owning games. This is also the same Ubisoft that cancelled a potentially awesome Rainbow Six single player game called "Patriots" a decade ago despite all the hype it generated.
Second ones valid, that game looked pretty boring if you weren't an american.
@@SirSabzZaNot really. What’s wrong with a game for Americans to enjoy? Games don’t need to be for fucking everyone FFS. By that logic Elden ring should have a difficulty slider.

@angryasrielYFGATOD1025nice try Joe.
Wouldnt call this a bad decision because people are dumb enough to fall for it. AC Shadows is already the 3rd most sold game on the ps5 store this month and the 1st most sold on japanese amazon
@@shearman360 Yup. Gamers are idiots that'll buy anything popular.
@angryasrielYFGATOD1025 Nah I'd win
the worst decisions of today will be the norm of tomorrow. Elden ring doesn't even have a pause button, neither does destiny or for the longest time valheim. So many games are online only full of microtransactions on a 70$ game. Pc gamers don't even own physical media anymore and eventually it will get phased out from consoles as well so the publishers get complete control.
Because as soon as someone offers you convenience you are willing to give up your rights
i wonder if theyre doing the three days late instead of early so people dont realize theyre being scammed with the preorder shit, but also so to lock people out of the preorder shit
i think the logs scene was from final destination 2 lol
Thousands of old games to play with no microtransactions, no games as a service bs, subscriptions, or new account creation.
Older media gaining value everyday in more ways than one
Only subscription game I play is FFXIV, and that's because it's remained a solid experience throughout all these years.

They design how to steal your money first, then they design the game.
What surprises me the most is that people keep paying so they will keep getting away with it
That "Hi there" at the start was terrifying, like there's danger afoot
Imagine paying 130 dollars for a Ubisoft title and then, after some years pass they make the game "inactive" and you lose access to it.
Having an ad for Assassins Creed Shadows in the middle of this video is just so...unimaginably ironic.
that smile and wave scared the shit out of me
I was initially confused as to why everyone was up in arms about the 130 dollar price point because, as a collector, I've seen some crazy game collection prices. I didn't realize that there was no physical component to the Ultimate edition. That's disgusting.
Hey it comes with a PDF, that's got to be worth something. Personally I'd definitely pay the price of an entire game for a PDF of some pictures
You have no idea how expensive collectors editions are. Literally no one is selling a collectors edition for that cheap. If you want physical items you're paying almost double that. Elden Rings collectors edition, which only comes with a statue, is $250. This is not a Ubisoft specific thing. Everyone is charging more for things.
I mentioned something to that effect in a video about Star Wars Outlaws.
@@Zack-vi7is I used to be a big fan of Limited Run games and their collector’s editions were cheaper than average but could still get up the the 175 dollar mark. So yes, I suppose I didn’t realize they got *that* crazy, but I knew they were pricey.
@@Zack-vi7is Tbf, most "collector Editions" don't come with a $180 usd statue to begin with. Most collector editions comes in a steel case with maybe a poster or 2 of something related to the game itself. Elden Ring's collector edition is a exception, not the rule.
I'll never forgive Ubisoft for de-listing every single Driver game, especially Driver San Francisco.
I think the music and/or car licences expired, so it's not completely their fault. They likely could've paid more money to have the licencing indefinitely.
Not only tht but they robbed us of the Crew
@@Skornishnot likely, they definitely could have, Ubisoft has insane amounts of money, they have some of the most popular ips in the world that they’ve been milking and min maxing how much money they can get out of them, only thing stopping them from paying the licenses is if the companies themselves just refused to allow them for whatever reason, but I don’t see that being a thing at all because the crew games exist, that’s probably why they let driver die off, because they’d rather people funnel to their newer car games to spend more money on them
Is that the one where you can change to cars at any time, even during a race?
@@superpro1thomas858 The crew was already dead without servers, and they actually gave away the game on pc few years ago.

Meanwhile gamepass is $8/month haha.
Seriously? Why are the prices in Japan even higher?
@@AG-no8zq Yen is in the toilet

I honestly don’t think it’d be that bad 18$ you play a game early than people who paid full price you can decide weather or not you want to buy it or not after . If it’s close to the same length as mirage you could easily finish the game in that amount of time
An american game about Japan…
Actually the logs were in the second movie!
They gonna release another edition call "Pre-Alpha" Gets to play it day 1 as they continue to add more story lines, do fixes, add features along the way
What's the point to pay for pre-alpha if the games are released on beta these days?
Why pay more to have a more buggy version? Buy the game when it's finished (nowadays about a year after release, unless they add more drm that broke the game).

Every game shuts servers down.
Yes, but let's remember that the situation with The Crew is faar from novel. It's not unique to Ubisoft so I wouldn't use it as a distinctive trait.
The extra skill points annoy me the most, because i know for a fact that they dont account for them.
We saw the last time they did it that you'll just end up as max level with 5 skill points left over, because you can't upgrade anything more.
They are beyond worthless.
not to mention u can literally cheat engine it, like cmon, every1 knows cheat engine in 2024, its not some rarely heard of thing anymore
Would you be happier if, in order to max out your skill tree you needed the ultimate pack for the extra skill points? No? Then stop whining about it, the extra skill points are to progress faster
@@armchair69 So you pay more to play their game less?
@armchair69 I'd be happier if they just set you to level 6 from the start instead of level 1 with 5 extra skill points.
That way you still progress faster and don't end up with the left over skillpoints that show how worthless your purchase was.
Especially since they usually leave skills locked behind level or mission requirements meaning you often spend your extra points out of frustration or a feeling that you need to spend them, and thus spend them on useless shit.
