Some Ubisoft games, much to the like of how Ubisoft told us we don’t own their games, couldn’t be played for a while. Players who bought Assassin’s Creed 2 on Steam received bricked copies, thanks to the incompetence of Ubisoft themselves. PC gamers panicked when the games they rightfully owned were in reality just a license to access them. This is the true power of selling games as licenses, and whether you like it or not, its the future they want for us. Physical media is phasing out at an alarming rate, but nobody is doing anything to stop consuming media they can’t own. We at Infinite Start will cover what happened.
Some Ubisoft misshapen
While this was just an error with the Ubisoft authentication, it arose at quite the time when many of the top dogs in charge of the company are being trialed in court for doing unspeakable crimes. It feels as if it was to show people that they can do whatever they want to you, no matter what happens. They wrote the rules, and those who consume Ubisoft titles must abide by them, and they aren’t the only ones playing this sort of game.
The sad reality is that in our impermanent and banal future, some Ubisoft games are truly a meaningless thing to protest about. What happened today is merely a symptom of people disregarding their own ownership rights, but we also live in a world where people fight against their self interest in even worse things. If you were considering buying anything from Ubisoft on Steam, do not, they don’t deserve any money.
Funding scammers will only make scam business profitable, and more companies have been using the Ubisoft agenda to ensure people can’t own what they paid for. The future of gaming is one without physical copies whether we like it or not.
