Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative
-
Microsoft
killeddelisted Forza Horizons 4 when their licensing deals expired. They’re not any better in that regard.Edit: killed -> delisted
You at least can still play the old Horizon games. Just not buy them. The Crew is unplayable and was forcibly removed from people’s accounts. Do still agree screw Microsoft though.
-
Idk if Microsoft Studios is the better choice here lol
All the old delisted forza horizon games are still playable. Can’t say that about the crew.

Sure but Microsoft are active participants in genocide

He’s so old. No wonder Ubisoft is so close to bankrupcy.

He should probably concentrate making games people want to play instead. Ubisoft is down the drain.
The Stop Killing Games demands are not hard to meet, unless you’re a greedy little shitgoblin.

Guillemot told shareholders that Ubisoft works hard to ensure games stay playable, saying the company offers “a lot of support” and services to keep games accessible “24/7.” However, he stated that “support can’t last forever.”
Ah, the same BS again and again.
Little real life hack:
-
Someone says that.
-
Say: That’s not what it’s about.
-
Leave them standing and refuse to talk to them like they refuse to understand or act like they don’t understand what SKG is about.
Think about it. They either don’t understand it but still expect to be taken seriously or they actively try to hurt the movement and don’t argue in good faith. So why bother?

Nintendo is doing exactly that (pulling games from stores, letting them die). Now that they have more invasive DRM in their latest console, they might even take a more active approach like Ubisoft wegen it comes to live service games. Let’s just “sunset” Mario kart world live service and brick it in a couple of years?
What kind of aggressive DRM? Wouldn’t the same kind of hack as usual work? As in, hack the hardware, every game becomes playable?

We wish but they’ll never go away. Die hard fans and whales are going to buy the games no matter what plus all the microtransactions included.

Greedy old man attempting to persuade other ignorant old men in whatever body of government that somehow videos games are finite and expire when we clearly have original Pacman and Pong arcade cabinets still in existence and completely functional. That whole “we can only provide service for so long” is a bullshit argument. I hope the EU puts him and other assholes like him in their place. “Woe is me” dev excuses are getting really old.

Why tf should anyone play the games if the CEO looks like some old rich white greedy parasite? Fuck him and Ubisoft. I was already boycotting their cookie cutter, external launcher, account needed, crashing, microtransaction bullshit enshitification anyways.

It’s fair to say they can’t support games forever. But in that case make games that don’t need support forever or provide the software to run the games for free after some time.

Ironically, I think Ubisoft has a good example of a multiplayer game with a good end-of-life despite not reaching its sales expectations with BattleCore Arena, where the last update allowed P2P play after the servers went down. Meaning that the game wasn’t totally killed off, even if it was thought as yet another service game, which is always appreciated.
That said, given the lack of marketing that was done around the game, it was perhaps a “not too expensive game that could maybe work on a fluke”, where Ubisoft’s lack of attention potentially left the devs quite free with their game. Devs who thankfully respected their players and made good end-of-life decisions.
