People buying their games, playing a game for 40-80 hours and then moving on, is not their audience any longer. The kind of audience that puts 1000s of hours into a game and the kind of audience Ubi is ultimately after. And, because there is always a 'big enough' audience, who does not care or even embraces this kind of nonsense. While this "Quartz" thing is in 'beta' and experimental and restricted to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, at the moment, I see no sensible person left at Ubi to stop this from going wide and being implemented in all their future games. Nobody is going to care if a few of us, 'old guys' are going to think twice, ever buying another Ubi game again, because the direction this company is going - after all the anxiety we all felt, when there was the dark cloud of a 'hostile takeover' a while back and we were all rooting for Yves to win this fight and on top, after all the internal ****-storm that has happened.- is a direction, I cannot follow.

Running analytics in the background and Anti-Cheat software intruding - and compromising - my Operating System - another pill.įorcing (marketing) 'updates' on me, even though I do not own or want to play those new 'Seasons' (we called them DLCs) - another 'sticky' attempt.

Making games 'always-online' and 'online-only' is another pill I had a hard time to swallow, but I did with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The majority of people want to play these games in co-op, or in multiplayer. I understand that - these days - games are too expensive, too big (the way Ubi makes them) to be profitable enough, by making them "Single-Player" only and offline. My thoughts are the ones of an old guy, who is Single Player focused. You can read his excellent article here: : () which clearly is nothing but another form of corporate marketing and player stickiness retention going amok. I stumbled over THIS (Quartz/NFT's) by reading an article on ARS TECHNICA by Kyle Orland, who goes in-depth into the ins and outs of this Ubisoft version of NFT's. I also admire the Ubi "R&D" team, posting videos on YouTube about their experiements and innovations when it comes to gameplay, AI and graphics rendering.īut, then. Most of the time, I am in awe about Ubisoft as a game developer, the complexity of managing 1000s of developers around the clock and around the world, still offering AAA Single Player titles of the highest technical quality, even though many big studios gave up on it.
