    Snarky comments and people joking about Ubisoft’s practices but in reality many if not most will simply accept that, spread their butt-cheeks and prepare for all the shoddy practices to be rammed up their ass. Once they get one foot in the door it’s just incremental steps from there, be it visual downgrades, selling experience boosters for games they made slower on purpose, day one DLCs, pre-orders, special editions, accounts for “offline” game, etc. Anything goes if they can squeeze another dollar from their customers. There’s a message stronger than words when Ubisoft is constantly voted most hated company and yet remains one of the biggest.

    Not sure what to tell you masochistic fans but Eves said spread the cheeks some more, there’s nothing else for you to do obviously. Bend over.
