    Reminder:

    https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-exec-says-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-not-owning-their-games-for-subscriptions-to-take-off

    “One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games].”

    I’m totally OK not owning Ubisoft games… but not in the way they would prefer… Where I hand them money and still don’t own anything.

      I don’t know what planets he’s on but I still have all my DVDs if I choose to stream stuff as well that’s my choice but is all the streaming services went down I’ve still got all my Star Trek shows.

      Anyway what’s he talking about steam exists and is wildly popular so that movement has already happened. What they’re trying to push is live service games.
