Ubisoft's poor response to Star Wars Outlaws paywalled mission, Stop Killing Games catches on in UK

Ubisoft's excuse for paywalling a side mission: it's optional. You could say that about tons of missions and content in a game. Some of the best content in gaming is optional. Optional doesn't mean insubstantial. And if the paywalled mission is insubstantial, you're giving people worse value for the $40 to $60 extra they have to pay on top of the base $70 for more expensive editions. There's nothing they can say that paints this in a positive light, it's just scummy tactic.

Gamers need to be comfortable not playing Ubisoft games.

I'm very comfortable not owning ubisoft games. They even solved piracy. I dont even want to pirate that game. Good job Ubi.

"Get comfortable not owning games" - literally Ubisoft. Don't give them a cent, not even for physical.

I can't justify spending $110 - $130 on a digital game i technically don't own via the PlayStation Store. I would rather spend that on groceries or pay off a bill. Ubisoft are a utter joke at the moment.

Single player games don’t need season passes

If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.

Ubisoft needs to get comfortable with not owning my money. Ubi has joined Blizzard-Activision in the "Never, ever will I buy from again" club.

I solved this long ago. Don't pre-order, don't buy at launch, wait for a discount since they're already overcharging, look for discount bundles, and, most importantly, check out some indies first while waiting for all of the above.😎

Not First. Ubisoft has been a shit company for years. It's just more obvious now.

I can't buy this game even if it did turn out to be good, because Ubisoft has recently found their way onto my permanent boycott list. So even if it's a good game I hope it flops and costs them a ton of money. I won't be satisfied until Ubisoft goes out of business.

The kicker is Ubisoft is a french company headquartered in France that removed licences that they sold from player's libraries. Star Wars Outlaws is also paywalling day 1 content requiring you to preorder the game. ...and the argument to not buy and just pirate the game instead resurfaces and Ubisoft gets nothing, why pay $70 for a video game when they have already said it is NOT the full game.

Ubisoft needs to be comfortable with not getting our money.

While we’re at it, stigmatize 70$ pricing. It’s dumb and born from greed purely, not inflation.

Day 1 DLC is cut content from the finished game. You can't wiggle your way out of that fact dear Ubisoft.

A Ubisoft Star Wars game is like having a local crackhead make me escargot

Ranni's quest in Elden Ring is "optional" but it has several hours worth of content and whole hidden area of the map devoted to it. It could've easily been it's own mini-DLC, but instead the devs included it in the base game because they actually care about their customers.

"Optional"? Oh you mean like its optional if i buy your game or not.... seriously Ubisoft's PR alone just gave me all the reason i need to never buy their games again...

the reason games cost so much now days is that the amount of money that executives pay themselves has increased to the point that their products can no longer be covered with a fair asking price

“Why is this mission locked behind a $40 paywall?” “Jabba the Hutt is in the game.”
