Ubisoft is honestly the dumbest game studio alive. They killed their original IPs For Honor and The Division by spamming shit no one wanted like season passes while never taking what worked and what players liked and building a new game. They killed the cash cow assassins creed because they couldn’t get out of their own way. They could have printed money with a Star Wars games and instead made a game for literally no one. They made every horrible move EA did with no sports monopoly to fall back on.
You know, now that i think about it, Ubisoft was the reason I stopped buying AAA games. The last true AAA game I bought was Watch Dogs or R6S back in 2017, and they were ultimately disappointments. Everything since has been AA at best like KC:D or TWWH. And everything I've truly enjoyed has been waaay smaller titles, like Rimworld and Factorio.
Rimworld is a perfect example of why AAA is shit, moddable game with a unique concept that will give you infinite hours of fun because the community can build onto a ~35 game. Sure the graphics are nothing, but that doesn’t determine the quality of a game.
Be very cautious with Factorio. They're not joking when they call it cracktorio. The thing is a finely tuned dopamine machine and will consume you if you aren't careful. It's the level of predatory attention capture of a mobile game with none of the microtransactions, for better or for worse.
I lost 700+ hours to my second factory and only managed to escape because my hardware literally couldn't render the game above 25 FPS any longer.
I don’t know if there’s cross play, but I’m on PlayStation and my fondest for honor memories are running a 4 man fat boy squad power hugging the shit out of the opposition.

I've been meaning to get Factorio. It looks insane.

You have been warned.
It's very fun, but set timers for yourself to shut it off.
Ubisoft is a monument to why gatekeeping is not only good, it's necessary. You have to reject, mock and deride the globohomo faggots at every turn.
Bully them until they cry and then bully them for crying.
That reminds me I gotta take for Honour out for one last spin in memoriam before they burn the last of their money and shitcan the server for good.
