Why not? Why shouldn’t we own our games. It’s so dumb.

Then Ubisoft should get used to me not buying their games.

You don’t really own any of the games in your steam library though…
Tbh the only way to actually own PC games right now is to pirate them.
That and I think some GOG galaxy stuff is drm free and will work without the launcher.
As soon as consoles no longer have disc drives it will be the same deal.
No more physical media = you don’t really own anything without pirating it.

Well then, we just start cracking every game u produce, and you can quit thinking of them as your products.

Or we could – y’know, not? And not buy their crap?

It isn’t super common but publishers have revoked access to all kinds of digital media over the years. Any system that requires you to log in to see your books music movies games etc etc can lock you out, Microsoft did as much with many books. The “owning “ thing is very grey when they can just arbitrarily take away your access but it’s definitely not just Ubisoft.

I don’t think Ubi’s in any position to be telling their customers what to “feel”. I was gonna buy the new prince of Persia and all of the sudden I don’t “feel” like it anymore.

And you will have to get used to having us not playing/buying the games you made. If we are lucky enough, you will start getting used to applying for new jobs

They should get used to nobody buying their games, because that’s exactly what’s happening right now

Ubisoft Exec needs to get used to seeing their games flop, emulated and/or pirated.

If me paying is not owning, the pirating is not stealing.

Has Ubisoft made a good game or update for one of their games in the last 5 years?

As an old school gamer, I’d like to say eat shit. I haven’t bought a new game I. Years because I don’t want to own something incomplete. Now I can’t even own that incomplete trash? Outta my face with that.

This Ubisoft exec is correct: If you read the fine print, nobody “owns” their digital games that they buy. They’re paying for a license to access the games, which can be revoked at nearly any time.
Other companies tried to stop people from selling their used games, and even tried to outlaw renting games.
Back a number of years ago, Valve was one of the biggest contributors behind funding the court cases that decided that people don’t legally own the games that they buy.
That would be terrible for business, after all. People could trade games, resell them, or give them away if they owned them.
They were also legally forced to include their digital refund policy that they now have after losing a court battle over it.
That battle was lost a long time ago, sadly. Unless there’s some upheaval of a court decision on digital rights, that won’t change anytime soon.
