    He should probably read what the Stop Killing Games campaign is trying to establish before responding. But he probably “has people for that”. And it shows.

      The miscaracterization of the movement by all the companies and groups of companies is no mistake, it’s intentional to push their agenda that they are the reasonable ones and to take it down.

        Yup. This is purposeful mischaracterization from one of the biggest boosters of games-as-a-streaming-product. Ubisoft doesn’t want you to have the ability to play things at your whim, but exclusively at theirs. They sure as fuck don’t want you spending your time on something they sold you 10 years ago.

          It’s well known on the games industry that their largest competitor is now themselves - 10 years ago. You’re not just selling a new game, but you’re selling a new game that people need to choose to spend money on or replay an old one they love.

          They have a real motive to kill games. If we can’t play the good ones from a decade ago then we’ll have to buy the new ones!

      It really does. On the other hand, you can spin this as Ubi CEO is literally, just a little illiterate.
