Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative
-
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.
The whole reason Stop Killing Games exists is because of Ubisoft, because they killed off The Crew.

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.
Your unwarranted sexism here is weird, gross, and unnecessary. The EU parliament is not perfectly 50/50 but it’s not that far off.

Cool. Wasn’t ripping on women or anything. You do you!

Oh, I am not surprised about that. Ubisoft were never really known for respecting their customers.

Incredible that they got over 1 million signatures, and this shooting target gets just as much of a say.

They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.
Yeah and now I own them all. I did not pay for a single one as VHS is treated as trash most of the time. Don’t play them just have them sitting in a closet due to their stupid giant plastic boxes that become brittle and crunchy when exposed to sunlight (kinda like the corporate ghouls that made them).

That’s true, and i’m not trying to say that Ubisoft is a good actor here, I just think that the example of BattleCore Arena quite unusual and ironic here.
That being said, that’s probably because the game did not receive a lot of attention from the higher ups at Ubisoft, so the devs could make decisions that are respectful towards the players.
