David Jaffe took to Twitter to call gamers, specifically Foxtrot, entitled gamers as they complained about the news that Beyond Good & Evil 2 would not only be adding co-op but would have online required settings even when paying solo, something not required for their other co-op optional game, Far Cry 5.
In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.
Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.
Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.
Supergiant Games' Studio Director, Amir Rao, has said that he's worried about some unbalanced boons in-game, with nerfs coming soon.
Super Mario 64 and Diddy Kong Racing are just the beginning.
Holy shit. I'm famous. Hi Mom.
Anyway, to put it bluntly and I say this with a dash of love, shut the f*** up David, if you are going to use the typical, boring ass "entitled gamers" bullshit come back to just glide over all the reasons why people are upset over the news then you obviously haven't bothered to look into the entire thing from both sides. Just typical "I'm in the industry, I better stick up for my fellow brothers in arms" mindset.
1) Online only sucks. Not everyone has a good solid connection and we know it means Ubisoft will want to monetize the game somehow, this will allow them to take an even bigger advantage over it.
2) No one asked for this. People wanted a single player, story driven platforming game picking up where the first one left off and going after the loose ends which weren't resolved. This comes back to the online only issue as nobody asked for an online, multiplayer co-op driven open world game. People waited 15 years for this and in the end this is what they waited for? Are you surprised people are p***** off over this? Jesus.
3) When we get these always online type of games it usually means the game is going to feature grindy, play with friends to boost your overall experience gameplay where we create the replay value by doing the same types of missions over and over.
4) In the future it means Ubisoft could take this game away whenever they wanted. Take the servers offline and the game becomes nothing, it's unplayable.
Oh and it seems your little followers are not quite agreeing with you huh? Guess you might be in the wrong with this one David.

THINK BEFORE YOU TWEET DAVID or you'll just get owned by your followers, for example.

Jaffe screencapped me lol
Eh....been hearing the word "entitled" alot since that whole diablo fiasco and getting pretty annoyed with that. Maybe fans are just getting sick of microtransactions and anything that heavily has to do with that? That being a very online game? We just want a complete content filled game that isnt filled with crappy microtransaction practices that we can all enjoy at our own pace without any annoying requirements like always having to be online. If it has online features such as just playing with your friends then thats great....but this way is just wrong...
It should have been advertised as an always online game at the start
This is why I never take big devs like sonys studios, cdproject red, nintendo, even smaller devs like indies, etc that still do it right for granted.
Ubi, EA, Activision, and others that are getting there like Bethesda and Capcom can all go to hell for all I care. If they ever stop this nonsense, boy will that be the day.
I enjoy Jaffe's outspoken ways, typically, but i can't fly with this. With all the heat that EA gets it seems like Ubisoft just flies under the radar. Ubisoft is the underground king of MTs and GaaS, the Eddie Alvarez of the gaming industry and i for one am happy that gamers are calling them out. Beyond is not the franchise to Ubi-ize. Always online, MTs, "not in my Beyond Good n Evil".
Ubisoft are free to make what they want. However, It would be better to change the name of this game because it is nothing like Beyond Good and Evil. This is pretty much a new IP.
