      Not to be that guy who defends Ubisoft (God knows I haven’t bought one of their games in ages), but that quote from the CEO is taken way out of context.

      He was directly asked what would need to happen for game streaming to take off, and he responded with “players would need to get used to no longer owning their games”, which is pretty much true as far as answers to that question go.

    I have 2TB of music and 7TB of videos but I rarely pirate a game.

    Almost never, sometimes I’m extremely interested in something but want to try it out first. Games are such time sinks that if I can’t shell out $20, then I have bigger problems and probably shouldn’t be playing it.

    That said, I get a lot of content isn’t available in some countries and piracy is the only way some people can experience something, so, different strokes.

    Sorry Ubisoft, I’m not buying some of your almost decade-old game that still has Denuvo.

    If you don’t put your old games that made the bulk of their money a long time ago on GOG, I won’t buy it.

    Why does Steam does the same thing but nobody cares? Steam also takes 30% of the price just because. Ubisoft has 100x more employees but always gets hate.

    It never was, only a corrupt judge can reach that conclusion. Stealing is subtracting an item from one person and adding it to another person, if there are two copies of the item then it’s not stealing.
