Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

You cant have both.

Cause when you have both, game companies are inherently going to push towards the one thats more exploitable for themselves.

Which is why physical releases are dying (And no, a game box with a download code does not constitute a physical release)

why games are leases now instead of owned

and why ubisoft feels bold enough to tell gamers they need to get used to not owning the shit they buy.

And gamers, on the whole, will obediently follow.

Because they must have their new, latest shiny, and nothing will stop them or get in their way.

Which is exactly why we are in this current whole goddamn mess to begin with.
