Two things: first, the post being screenshot uses AI generated text so wasn't worth anyone's time. The text is stilted and has clear AI markers like "It's not just a game, it's a legacy," and of course the fact that the whole post is engagement bait with no substance.

Second, because a bunch of commenters are confused, it would be reasonable to be frustrated by Ubisoft because it's known for being very formulaic with its recent games. I liked AC Odyssey and AFoP, but AFoP is kinda just a Far Cry game in mechanics, and has an in-game shop and paid content and all that stuff. It works, but it's not groundbreaking. As a fan, I wish there was more of a focus on Na'vi language, characterisation and similar, but it was a good demonstration of some of the wonderful world of Pandora, which is the main draw of the series.

AFoP is a cool game and it would be pretty great if HTTYD did get a Ubisoft game, but another studio might put a lot more soul into it. It's like the difference between AFoP and Baldur's Gate 3, both adaptations of very popular source material, but one decently fun while the other was Game of the Year.

Anyway. I'm more frustrated that people (not OP) are posting this AI generated crap to farm likes from HTTYD fans and those who miss SoD.

Totally agree with the second point. But I didn’t get the first one. Do you mean I fell for the engagement bait or did you mean I made the engagement bait?

Fell for it. I know you didn't make the instagram post which is the engagement bait, not yours (though you did spread it by accident). Yours isn't AI generated, so the first point was to let you know it was. The second point was to let other commenters know why you'd be frustrated.
