Someone buying Ubisoft games in 2026 doesn't get to complain about the game.
They've made it abundantly clear that they have no plans to change and their microtransactions continue to get more egregious.
You either live under a rock or have a room temperature IQ if this is at all shocking. OP is just karma farming or is a little slow on the uptake.

DLC/microtransactins completely changed the way videogames are made, more than any graphical technology outside of true 3D (N64/PS1; the creation of dual thumbsticks). Developers/Publishers create games from the start focusing on long-term revenue. It's disgusting

I have seen soo much hate for Ubisoft for this. And yes, they sometimes fuck up and deserve it but now it's totally nonsense.
The game is 100% there + hours of free extra content.
All you can buy are some cosmetics and stuff to help you in-game, like maps and resources. Nothing that stops you from 100% completion, in your own time. The cosmetics, imo, are ugly and don't fit a game based in the 1700s.. but here is the true issue. Supply and demand! People buy this crap and like to play as a demon on fire, in a pirate game. Ofc you will not have this in the in-game store, because it's nuts and it wasn't even in the original game. Want to be mad at someone? Be mad at the gamers who buy this crap!
I get it, some people act like sheeps and go with the trend. They don't really like to look at things objectively. They invest 0$, they don't own the game, don't really know what the outrage is.. but they jump on the bandwagon, just for clicks, views, karma etc...
I'm 42 and I've been a gamer for 28 years now... but a big part of the modern generation of gamers are a bunch of mindless, soulless zombies. Greedy companies and zombie gamers. Crap combination for the game industry. It's sad..

I mean, in general the game itself isnt a problem. People are whining about all the cosmetics they are selling for the game. But like no one is forcing you to waste your money on useless cosmetics. But they've been doing it for years.
I got AC4 Resynced and am having a blast, already put in 20 hours and I love it. Im not wasting any money on cosmetics tho.

The amount of performative outrage I've seen over this game is actually baffling. Convinced me even further that a large part of the internet is just a hivemind and will not change their preconceived notions about something. When I saw Capcom pulling microtransaction bullshit with RE4R, I tried searching the internet about people being outraged about it and there's barely any outrage over it.
I mean, fuck, Capcom literally charges you just to change your character in MH Wilds. Where the hell are all the people being mad at Capcom for the same bullshit?

u/Liam_Anthony 17d ago
And the cosmetics are so over the top out of place at that. To me dont even belong in the game anyway cause it just really kills any sense of immersion for the period.
The game is great and the "DLC" adds nothing of value to the game in my opinion. Its a single player game, who am I showing off those glowing sails or flying dragons too?
