“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games].”
I’m totally OK not owning Ubisoft games… but not in the way they would prefer… Where I hand them money and still don’t own anything.
I might do that anyway. I bought watchdogs on steam, and it was was really fun, but getting bitched at every time UPlay hiccupped or their servers went down in a singleplayer game was enough to make me never touch their shit again.
That and Watchdogs2 being infected with Denuvo. Ugh…

Ubisoft need to get comfortable gamers not buying their games.
A wise someone once said that if you can’t own anything, you can’t pirate anything.
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
