MMGN: This year Ubisoft has enforced season passes with Assassin’s Creed Unity, Watch Dogs, Shape Up, Far Cry 4 and The Crew ... None of those games need a season pass, and half of them definitely shouldn’t have one.
The Outerhaven writes: With the closure of The Crew's online servers, Ubisoft has started removing access to the game from anyone who owns it on Ubisoft Connect.
Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

I bought the Borderlands Pre-Sequel season pass only because Part 2 was so good. Biggest mistake of the year, not only was that game a pale shell of the excellent that was part 2 but I ended up returning the damn game to Gamestop a week later. And you can't refund the Season Pass...
My bad though, I should have known since that game wasn't developed by the original team, but it still taught me a valuable lesson about season passes.
I will definitely be more observant about these season passes these companies are trying to pawn off on us.
except said customers now have the opportunity to get Far Cry 4 for a price of 25 which is pretty damn good
Wow, with the WITCHER 3 saying all DLC for free , and the EVOLVE DLC maps for free . This week has been very interesting in a very good way . I really hope more video game publishers , keep this trend going .
And much thanks, to very entertaining YOUTUBE video content makers,

While I rarely buy season passes, I don't understand the negativity surrounding this announcement. Ubisoft admits they screwed up royally with the launch of unity. As a consolation, they are giving EVERYONE the upcoming DLC for free. For those who had previously paid for the DLC, they are getting, in addition to any future Unity DLC, an AAA Ubisoft title at no extra charge, some valued at $60, like the newly release (and well received) FarCry4 or the yet to be released The Crew.
So while, the f***ed up royally. I think they are making a good and fair attempt a redemption here.
So disappointed in the reviews about Unity. Was really going to pick up because all the previous games were so good. Black Flag let me down a little due to no relevant story line to the others so I was really looking forward to this one. Can anyone tell me if the game just has bugs or isn't playable at all?
