I’ve seen a lot of complaints about this game (haven’t played it myself) and this is the one that I’m genuinely flabbergasted by. This is a game about a supposed “scoundrel” and they can’t even gamble?? Truly baffling

This entire game feels like satire with each weird addition Ubisoft adds

Thats immersion breaking, if I wanna throw my life savings away that is a choice I should be able to make

You want to gamble more in a ubisoft game? Sure you can, tell me, are you familiar with the concept of loot boxes?

If they actually didn’t want you to gamble they should have not allowed pre-orders.

It’s like the game designers were having a blast creating the game and then the higher ups were like :
“Oh no no no, people could get addicted to gambling, we don’t need bad press”
I heard that they did not implement (or maybe deleted ?) drive-by shootings too.
I did not played it yet. I saw that there are a truckload of issues at release, as always.

I think this game gets more attention than it deserves

If they are trying to prevent gambling addiction, then they are doing a terrible job.
I can just do this 3 times a day for 365 days and I will have gambled 1,095 times.

The best part about ubisoft needing it’s launcher is knowing I’ll never play a game from them

Do I get the messaging? Yes. Gambling addiction needs addressing, but maybe dont fucking do it in a game titled OUTLAWS where the entire premise is to be a scoundrel (smuggler?). Holy fuck ubisoft. How did we go from splinter cell and assassins creed 1-4, to this? Whats going on? Talk to me (i know the answer)

That’s why I get my fixings from Fallout: NV

I’m sure a mod will come out to fix this.

It would be a good idea if you won a few times and someone actually came up and actually kicked you out, like what Fallout New Vegas did, but arbitrary locking it is sort of nonsensical.

Okay, I think I may be the only one actively enjoying this game, its like the entire internet is trying to gaslight me into hating it.

That’s if you win 3 times in a row.
Casinos will remove you if you win too often in real life, also.
BeingAGamer
It’s more fake performative BS. “Gambling is bad, so you can only do it 3 times for now, and 3 times later”. They still made a full system that let’s you gamble… WTF is limiting to 3 times every time you pass this area to your next mission supposed to do really?
A gambling addict going to run out of the 3 times and since it’s enough to hook the addict, they close the game and go to stake instead LUL.

Isn’t that a company that sells loot boxes to kids?

Funny move for a company known for micro-transaction hell games for children.

Well I mean, they are horse races and maybe the horses (fathiers) don’t like to run all day?
AtomicMelbourne
But can you buy death sticks?
Bowens1993
Well there’s a million things to do so I guess I never noticed!
I’m still having a great time.

You also can’t hip fire from your speeder because Ubisoft didn’t want you to assault people in a driveby.
haearnjaeger
Lazy developer type shit

The one stream I watched of this game they were constantly doing the horse racing and sabacc so I think this is just a you thing or you’re not sharing the full story.

Welcome to SW:OUTLAWS, where you can be a real SCOUNDREL…except drinking, killing animals, interacting negatively with civilians, stealing vehicles, gamble too much and so on.
Now buy our marketable Nix plushie and season pass.

Is this not for cheating?
Because all the alien-horse races are fixed, you can find datapads telling you which will win.
I assume this is what happens if you bet on the fixed winner too many times.
Because the same dialogue pops up if you use your little lizard-cat-dog to cheat ar Sabaac too many times.
