Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off

I don’t know what planet he’s on but we already don’t really own our games. Hell if Steam goes down I’m going to lose access to pretty much everything.

The problem is more that I don’t trust Ubisoft to not change the terms of the agreement halfway through. I can totally see them pulling a rockstar and getting rid of an old version of the game if they decide they want to do an HD release.

Steam has a clause where if they shut down you will have access to all of your games still.

The worst part is Rockstar admitted the HD Remakes were shit, and fired the company responsible, but still didn’t restore the good versions (Thank God I got those while I could)

Fuck there were rumors that company was gonna remake Max Payne next, made me grab the fucking Steam version while I could… best god damn advertising for the original Max Payne possible.

But yeah, I dread the day Gaben dies and his successor says “Let’s make this a publicly traded company!”
