I usually roll my eyes when people say the economy relies on infinite growth, but the AAA games industries are really a microcosm of that philosophy. Bigger and bigger bloat and a focus on monetization instead of innovation until the bubble bursts... they are chasing whales instead of general audiences.
They require a stupid launcher nobody wants that logs into Ubisoft Connect, and they use Denuvo for all their games, never removing it even cheap indie games released more than a decade ago (like Scott Pilgrim).
It's a pity they have some good games (like Prince of Persia The Lost Crown) I'll never play because of this abuse on the PC platform.
Good.
Rocksmith 2014 is the only game they've published that didn't suck, and it still stank like Ubisoft. At least it doesn't require uPlay nonsense.
I tried playing Assassin's Creed one time. I think my character spent like two of the first three hours on his back in a sensory deprivation tank.
I knew this would happen once we started giving video game characters names that aren't just compounds of the thing they're doing, like "Jumpman".
