The other commenters don't seem to understand the difference between boycotting and gatekeeping...

I'm with you man, I haven't bought any Ubisoft stuff for over 10 years now. And the more I learned the more I got surprised by how shovelware can be made even worse.

The last Ubisoft game was Assassin’s Creed 3, right?

[–] Nom@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

I only played until revelations which was the ending of part 2 I think which honestly felt pretty mid to me, though the over arcing story was good. Black flag was quite popular no? The one with the naval combat. I don't remember anything beyond that.

So they're boycotting Ubisoft because they're trash and make uninspired shovelware? Do you understand the difference between boycotting and gatekeeping?

Wiki: A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary abstention from a product, person, organization, or country as an expression of protest.

Increasing amounts of dlcs(Cut off from original) & microtransactions(Gambling). They have not mended their ways so I did not support them since then. Teach me where I went wrong with my Boycott?

I fully understand why people would abstain from buying their products for those reasons. All OP said was Ubisoft is trash. Honestly I think all of this has been a miscommunication, I interpreted that comment as trash = something I don't enjoy or something of lower quality. Others have interpreted it as you have, which I do think are completely valid reasons to boycott for.
