What a great way to sell their new Star Wars live service game.

Wait is the star wars game a live service? I thought it was a single player game.

It’s single player, but requires an internet connection and has a season pass.

Oh yikes. That sucks. I mean, I don’t mind the internet connection. I always have one. But the season pass is not a good omen, unless it is just for the DLC when it comes out, like how games were 10 years ago. But I feel like it hasn’t meant that in a long time. Also, Ubisoft doesn’t have a good track record.

Live service and single player is not incompatible… Unfortunately…

Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.

Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money… What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.

This is one of the reasons I haven’t bought Diablo 4. The other reason is that they took overwatch away from me.

… I thought Activision was bought by Microsoft, not Ubisoft.

I think they mean that the thing Ubisoft did, Activision did with overwatch and so they won’t buy Diablo 4.

Honestly most AAA game publishers may as well be the same company.

So people bought the game and they’re still taking it away? Glad I pirate games nowadays. Screw then for fucking over their customers.

If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.

And the CEO of that company wants us to “be comfortable” with not owning games.
