My days of boycotting Ubisoft certainly are coming to a middle
Don't just boycott, join us on the high seas and share their shit for free. Thats how it will really hurt them.
Piracy increase the sales. AAA companies are dumb enough to not even understand what actually draw sales with demo and shareware.
Forgive & forget: don't play, don't talk, don't share products of the IPs from companies you want out of the game: forgotten.
I think playing their games is worse than not playing them. Stop paying attention to them and giving people a reason to want their products.
Yeah, piracy is shown to actually boost sales for the most part. Not everyone who pirates refuses to spend money on games/media at all. And with game demos not really being a thing in the AA/AAA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA game space, often it makes more sense to pirate it, see if you actually like it, and buy it if you enjoy it enough to actually pay.
And it's the same argument as when the Harry Potter game was free on Epic, I refused to add it to my library at all. Even with people saying "Epic payed them a flat rate, so they get the same amount if no one gets it or everyone does!"... adding it to your library still ticks up their "sales" figures, and I'll be fucked if I support that heinous waste of air JKR in any way shape or form.
Your AAAA game tanked that bad eh!
That game was AAAAwful
Haven't even had time to install and play the first one damnit
