Alleged Ex-Ubisoft Employee Talks About His Experience

I was in a meeting personally with Yves Guillemot, who said that he doesn’t care about PC gamers because, and i quote “90% are pirates anyway”, that’s after a direct question from a well-respected, well paid programmer back in the late 2000s asking “why are our pc ports fucking shit?”, so we outsourced it all to Eastern Europe.

That's it

I won't buy Ubisoft games, they don't deserve my money

Will Ubisoft ever stop talking out of their arse already? Have they not learned a thing from the thousands of other similar mistakes they've made?

Yep. Piracy is pretty much a chicken-or-the-egg kind of situation now.

PC Master Race dont eat bullshits.
If i dont trust in the quality of a game (like the port from Ubi) be sure, that first i get it from TPB, and if i like it then i wait for a disccount sales like Summer Sales on STEAM and look for a price i considered fair for the product. Sadly if im a console gamer i dont have as much chances as a PC gammer to made my money worth.

You know something really really sad? I didn't even need to read the post to know what was this all about, I knew from the very beginning it was some idiot from Ubi or EA talking bullshit about PC. I sincerely hope they all go to hell, I may be exaggerating a bit, but it seems to me we are near another videogame crisis like the one in 1983.

sell a game for 50 euro and only 10% buy it - sell it for the half and 50% buy it - sell it for 10 euro on release day how much will buy and how much pirate it Mr. Ubisoft?

and with which price you would make more?

You know it's not that simple? Game selling for 10 euro at the start will attract a lot less customers because they will look at it and think "indie price, so indie quality, meh". That's why luxury brands sell so well even with bad quality, people tend to think expensive = better. You can't fund AAA game that way, you will never make profit on it.

EA is long and byfar based on history worst gaming company, but UbiSoft seems to REALLY want to take that title from them

They are pirates because Ubisoft gives a shit about the PC version of their games. Shitty DRM, shitty programming, forcing you to use their DRM, unplayable games due to bugs, multiplayer games that are broken for the servers.

I don't like piracy, but they don't deserve any money.

or pirates like to play bad games?
