Outside of the Mario + Rabbids games and HOPEFULLY Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era next year, I really don’t give a crap about Ubisoft anymore. The second I see the Ubisoft logo, I immediately lose a lot of interest.

To me, Ubisoft has become like the fast food of the games industry for the past decade and also represents a lot about what’s wrong with modern gaming, and it hopefully seems like a lot of people have had enough of their crap.

From the tiresome “Ubisoft open world formula” to having mtx in every game including single player, to always online for every game including single player, to “players need to get comfortable in not owning their games” exec, to outlandish pricing for their AAA games, to an overly expensive subscription service, to bastardizing the Tom Clancy name, all while being led by a massive POS in Yves.

And a lot of Ubisoft’s modern BS steeped into Star Wars Outlaws and as I previously mentioned, players hopefully have just grown tired of their antics. As much as I want to be excited for the likes of the Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remakes, it’s hard to be anything but.

Ubi has been the action-adventure genre answer to Call of Duty and yearly sports releases for nearly two decades now.  That sort of thing works for the audience of CoD and 2k and FIFA but for a big scale open world adventure, you fill up on the meal with these things after one or two of them.  Another dig is diminishing returns on games over the years.  A lot of the last gen AC's and FarCrys looks exactly the same as the current gen.  I think it's finally catching up to them.

Also, I think for the casual Andy, why would you play Star Wars Outlaws when Elden Ring exists?
