Same thing is happening to DVD and Blue rays.
The subscription model in all things annoys me to no end.
I’ll frequently do without than deal with a lifetime of slavery.
You will own nothing...
These GamerBoys need to get used to a lot more than that.
While they’ve been asleep at the wheel living in fantasy land the world has changed.
I make sure to own hard copies of my favorite games. God forbid the internet goes out.
The bigger franchises - Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Battlefield, etc., - will likely continue to sell hard copies for some time.
Not doing so will also put places like GameStop out of business, so they should be rallying against this. Players who don’t have large amounts of money to spare buy second hand, and digital copies DO NOT cost less like one would think.
The more I say no to, the easier it gets to do.
so stay away from Ubisoft and let them DIE ,someone with brains will buy them
Even if you “own” the game, often times you have to go online to even get the game to boot. Microsoft has a free subscription service for some of them.
I don’t game much anymore but on occasion it’s a nice break. Go back to the classics namely Halo 1, 2 and 3. However, my “Master Chief” (Halo) disk won’t boot up if I’m not signed in.
It’s annoying to say the least.
Do have some old XBox One and PS4 games that boot up whether or not I’m online.
BTW Ubisoft, GTH.
I have plenty of older games, books, music and movies. I think I will somehow manage.
Same here.
I had to fake my own death, when I was 18, to get out of a Columbia House LP subscription, back in the day!😆
People are happy with digital only because companies have yet to pull the rug from under them. Once you don’t have the option to own media the the prices to rent will go up, the censorship will start and the rules will become draconian.
Being that entertainment is a want and not a need I wonder if the plan will work.
You will own nothing...

Will?
Tell me what you have that the government can’t confiscate without due process?
Uhh, F(*#$ you!
I quit most games once Steam walked in and demanded that you cannot play a game without dialing into Steam. So, you don’t own anything you get from Steam. No, if you need permission from anyone to play a game, YOU DO NOT OWN IT!
So, I only play the games I have at home, with all the updates — that I own.
too bad, i already don’t “own” 100’s of games that i play.
thanks to a certain russian distributor named FatGuy.
But you enjoyed those 19 albums for only 1 penny, didn't you?
Is this senior Ubisoft official a follower of the Nazi Klaus Schwab and the World Enslavement Forum ?
I don’t think so. I have a backlog of stuff going all the way back to the very early days that’ll keep me more than busy for a lifetime.
A triple negative? ……. Can they not take that? Or not?
