On PC it requires Ubi’s launcher and Denuvo. That’s enough to make me completely uninterested.

Right. So you didn’t make a difference here, since that’s also true of all the Ubi games that did better than this, then.

But this doesn’t have any of the other crap people are blaming for Ubi doing poorly. So you’d expect if the outrage was making a dent whatsoever their one game that is relatively clean of that stuff would have done better, not worse, than the other stuff they are putting out.

But nope, the opposite is true.

So hey, not saying you’re lying, but I think the collective at least looked at the nice, small 2D metroidvania with no MTX and went “nah”, but they were much more willing to give the GaaS-y stuff a try.

Although if I WAS saying you’re not being all the way honest, I may guess that you just weren’t on board for this anyway and now are performatively feigning outrage for something else after the fact to pretend other people’s motivations are aligned with your opinions. But I’m not. So we’re good.

The irony of you constantly telling people they don’t actually know why they do not pay Ubisoft…

My dude… We’re TELLING YOU why we aren’t buying it. You’re just too dumb and stubborn to accept the truth. Obstinance makes you pathetic, not correct.

There’s still some truth to his statement.

If someone says one thing and does another…people tend to trust the action, not the words. If sales numbers indicate one thing, it doesn’t matter what people say on social media.

Right.

So, one, I’m pretty sure in most cases that’s not why, for the same reasons we all shared memes of people “boycotting Call of Duty” while appearing online playing Call of Duty.

But even taking everyone at their word, I’m saying the group as a whole is not working by those parameters. Directly, demonstrably in apples to apples comparisons they didn’t buy the Ubisoft game that doesn’t do the stuff people claim to be mad about and bought other Ubisoft games in larger numbers.

The thing with obstinance is that it’s hard to make reality change its mind. Remarkably stubborn, reality.
