Every time I get into a discussion like this with you, it feels like a chore instead of a fun debate.
Ok, let's go.

**sigh**

I didn't play any game with Ubi and CD Projekt, I just pointed out the differnce between them as publishers, developers and their stores, and how they're capable of modifying their principles, like CDP putting their games on a DRM based platform like Steam and Ubi putting some of their game at GOG, even if it's the old ones.

But hey, at least you mentioned that other publishers also suck and make questionable decisions, some of which even make Ubi look less bad (but not good, there's no need to exaggerate).

In any case, you're the one that put into this discussion the unique nature of games to make them worth it, not me. And you brought it to counter the fact that, because Ubi isn't affraid of trying new IPs, they have games on a wide variety of genres. Something that yes, other publishers try, but other stick to just one or try genres.

Oh, and I won't enter into that part were you make assumptions about me, but it makes me smile how you're happy to admit that "None of them are our friends, they exist to make money, that's all publishers have ever wanted.", and yet you blame Ubi from trying to protect their business with DRM.

Regarding the quick price drops, again you're the one that used as example two games that are commercial failures, not me. Don't attack me for using what you've given to me. Oh, and Origins was already on sale fairly soon after release. It launched on October 26, was 17% off on Nov. 17, 20% off on Dec. 7 and 30% off for the Winter Sales. Certainly, not "many months down the line".

But all of that and all this discussion can be summarized into you treating Ubisoft in a black and white model where they're the darkest of the blacks, while I understand that there's a whole world of colours, and see the nuances that come from Ubisoft. Becaue no, I'm not defending them, I'm just pointing out that while they do a lot of things that I don't like, they also do some things right.

But what I don't understand is why do you think that I'm defending Ubisoft, because I certainly don't. They do a lot of things that I don't agree with, but that doesn't mean that I can't see the good things they also do, because this is not a black or white situation where Ubi is the darkest of the blacks like you seem to see them, but the real world with the full array of colours, and I can see the nuances from Ubisoft.
