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

What the fuck dude. True gamer moment comparing Ubisoft to Healthcare.
They’re not far from each other in terms of “fuck you, I got mine.” Can we just agree that 🖕all rich assholes, is a legit statement?
Capitalism is capitalism. Doesn’t matter what they sell.
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.
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.
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.
Imagine speaking up for a parasite 🤡
The EU parliament is a parasite?
Full of them, yes, useless regime whores working on 🔛 half of the owner class
May luigi bless all of them
Cool. Wasn’t ripping on women or anything. You do you!
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.
I agree. I don’t expect companies to perpetually support these games. When they feel like no more money is to be made, then they should release it from lock down or release the server software and let someone else host it. Used to be a time where mod tools and dedicated servers were released with the game and whole new games were made. Counter Strike and Team Fortress are examples of this.
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?
-
And then we kill Ubisoft. Murder by no purchases.
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.
Just make a trend of making fun of losers that play Ubisoft games.
Wait what? Ubisoft “customers should get used to not owning games” ubisoft? That ubisoft? Color me shocked.
I don’t care what this guy has to say. I’m not even going to click on that link because it’ll just make me angry. Fuck off, Yves. Get your own house in order.
Finally seeing them complaining, it was weird that they were so quiet.
Thry didnt want to give it attention, but now that its gained some traction and may cause something to actually happen, its a problem for them
You call that complaining? It was a bunch of vague non-answers meant to not really directly answer any of the shareholder questions
Oh, I am not surprised about that. Ubisoft were never really known for respecting their customers.
Username checks out
During the last sale recently I was looking for an open world racing sim. Ended up getting Forza Horizons 5 over Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 because they killed off and removed my copy of The Crew from my library, so they can get fucked.
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
Microsoft killed Forza Horizons 4 when their licensing deals expired. They’re not any better in that regard.
No they didn’t. It was delisted from stores. The game still works if you own it, or even if you go out today and buy a used physical copy. Same goes for all of the delisted FH games.
Delistings are not what SKG is about and I wish people would stop pretending it is.
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.
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.

You’re right, they aren’t doing so well looking at this 5 year window.
That’s about stock market tho, a entirely different kind of game.
Yea but if people aren’t buying your games because they’re shit, shareholders aren’t gonna be happy about it. And Ubisoft hasn’t made a breakout hit in a while. Their normal is „tolerable if you get it on sale, if you don’t care about the franchise“, and even shareholders notice that.
Wasn’t their driving game a big factor in the campaign in the first place? Guy’s out of touch to say the least
Yes
The ceo is a massive clown!
Yeah, Ubisoft almost went bankrupt not that long ago. It was only with a $1.3 billion dollar infusion by Tencent they survived. Leadership barely know that the point of the company is to make games.
