Added 2025-04-12 17:10:05 +0000 UTC**Why Gamers Are Mad at Ubisoft (Again)**
1️ **Microtransactions Everywhere**
Even single-player games like *Assassin’s Creed* are packed with paid XP boosts & cosmetics. You already paid $70—why more?
2️ **Chasing Trends, Not Quality**
Live-service flops like *XDefiant* and *Skull and Bones* show Ubisoft is more focused on following trends than making great games.
3️ **The NFT Mess**
They tried pushing NFTs with their *Quartz* platform. Gamers and even devs hated it. It flopped hard.
4️ **Same Game, Different Skin**
The “Ubisoft formula” (climb tower, reveal map, repeat) has turned exciting franchises into rinse-and-repeat grindfests.
5️ **Toxic Workplace Allegations**
Reports of harassment and a toxic culture surfaced in 2020. Many feel leadership didn’t take enough action.
6️ **Delays & Cancellations**
Where’s *Beyond Good & Evil 2*? Why is the *Prince of Persia* remake still missing? Fans are losing patience.
7️ **Annoying DRM & Always Online**
DRM that eats performance. Always-online requirements for solo play. Why, Ubisoft?
Do you think Ubisoft can bounce back? Or is it too late?
