Honestly? If you like Ubisoft games, I think it’s probably not a bad deal. They make what, 2-3 big releases a year (plus the smaller games like Trials, or I think Anno is theirs too?), that consistently follow the same formula, and each cost about 60-70 bucks for the base game. The subscription gets you DLC and add-ons too, so as long as you haven’t grown sick of their formula or their wokeness or have some ethical complaint about them, you will play each release for a few months, finish it, and end up paying less overall than if you bought each title outright.
Of course, that’s quite conditional. If you do have any ethical issues about Ubisoft, or have grown sick of Far Cry/Watch Dogs/AC/Ghost Recon… you’re not going to be happy with it.
But there’s probably a decent chunk of “normie” gamers who do okay with it.
