Yo dog, we heard you like spending money your games so made it so you have to spend money on your game in your game… Oh yeah, it isn’t really your game either.

Okay. Let’s vote with our wallets.

Quite the opposite in fact. Microtransactions offer the promise of fun, but never deliver, because in order to incentivise users to purchase them, the player must feel like the game is 90% of the way to being fun and that tiny additional purchase will get it there.
It's like the cartoon image of the donkey rider holding a carrot on the end of a rod. The donkey keeps moving to try to get the carrot, but never quite reaches it.

Ubisoft can go fuck themselves.

And they’re right, because the modern ethos of game design is to lock the customization and fun shit behind a paywall.
The greedy bastards are doing this on purpose.
Boycott games with egregious mtx.

I swear EA is intentionally pulling gamers agro to tank for the rest of the industry.
Ok_imagination@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I imagine you meant UbiSoft but feels the same way with EA too as well haha.

Far Cry 3 is one of my favourite games of all time but Ubisoft make so many mid games.
rozodru@lemmy.world 8 months ago
ok Ubisoft. I can’t recall the last time I had “fun” playing one of your games, monetization or not. Might have been Beyond Good and Evil on the Gamecube.
kibiz0r@midwest.social 8 months ago
Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly, however this is always optional.
If it’s more fun to progress more quickly, that should be the default.

Interesting how those more fun aspects used to just be called “the game”
Almacca@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Yeah, well ubisoft says a lot of things. They also enable and protect sexual predators, so forgive me if I continue to not listen to them.
KiwiTB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ubisoft - We haven’t read the room ever.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ubisoft? The very same ubisoft that’s been getting outsold by indie studios making games with no monetization often times these studios being comprised of ex ubisoft employees?
🤔

It’s so fun that I haven’t bought a single Ubisoft game for some 20 years… Because they suck, their games are generic made on exact same design and their always-on DRM bullshit is just cancerous. Ubisoft was cool in the 90s and early 2000s and then became rotten to the core.

For the people getting the money, sure, that makes sense
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Yeah, who doesn’t enjoy getting money…
Sho@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And that’s why your company is failing.

This shit is embarrassing. One of the many reasons I’m sticking to indie games

I’ve been opening up foss shooters more, like assault cube reloaded, alien arena, xonotic, rexuiz, red eclipse, cube 2, etc.
and older arena shooters like quake 3 arena, quake live
Its dead 90% of the time but its resally fast to flick through them and find one with an active lobby.

Sauerbraten was really weird but I screwed around with it a lot as a kid.

Really wanna play a 2d sidescrolling shooter but they seem dead

Something something “sense of pride and accomplishment”

EA and Ubisoft are really duking it out for the first prize in the worst game company competition.
lath@piefed.social 8 months ago
It's a shame. Once upon a time, Ubisoft helped and sponsored many a young tentative developers and held classes for game development.
Whatever the reasons and end result, they inspired dreams back then.blobchoice@feddit.uk 8 months ago
Not buying Ubisoft games makes the player experience more fun.

Eat shit, Ubisoft.
AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Damn! No wonder I wasn’t having fun with Ubisoft games lately!
I’ve been pirating their crap out whenever they made a game I wanted to try and, I rarely played past the first hour! Now I see why! Since I was pirating and everything was unlocked for free, I couldn’t enjoy the player experience of spending money in their ingame store!

Didn’t French aristocrats learn to not say this shit after 1793?
Maybe he needs a refresher.

Bit of a clickbait, the full quote is:
So still sniffing their own farts, but not quite as deluded as the out-of-context quote makes it sound.
Plagiatus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ah yes, making games deliberately more annoying so I can pay more to play less of it. Love it.
