Oh, Ubisoft! Europe’s EA equivalent has split The Division 2 across six special editions, a recurring habit of a company desperate to make all of the money in the world.
But how does Ubisoft’s promise of free updates mesh with DLC, season passes, and half a dozen special editions? Awkwardly, friends. Awkwardly.
Nice to see Richard La Ruina’s not bitter about everything that’s happened.
Totally normal.
Save slots, inventory space, crafting materials, extra costumes, cheat codes and god knows im missing more examples! What isn’t for sale to these assholes anymore?!?! So what’s next on the table, am i gonna have to pay and extra $3.50 to get to name my character?
Congratulations on 700k. Not that you care, but that’s still a pretty big milestone.
I wish I could be surprised with What Ubisoft does, I’m not. Not even a little. They aren’t changing and I don’t know what else to say that others have already said.
Including how again, Ubisoft is pretty much dead to me.
U – Standard edition
Ub – Deluxe edition
Ubi – Gold edition
Ubis – Ultimate edition
Ubiso – Superior edition
Ubisof T – Legend edition featuring the iconic letter T as a pre-order bonus!
6:23 also the arcsystems apologists, too
I like seeing the Ubisoft spreadsheets each saying that the game is included like it’s an actual feature instead of a requirement
I’m not sure what’s sadder, that Richard still holds a grudge against a youtube reviewer, or that he believes a mere mortal like him could harm Jim Sterling at all
Making the game hard to buy just invites more piracy on it.
In fifty years grandpas will be telling stories about video games in the good old days to their grandchildren. “In my youth when we wanted to buy a game, we bought the game. There was no season pass, no microtransactions, no *insert some now-unimaginable scam that will soon be commonplace*, just the game, the entire game, for 60 dollars. Sometimes, if the game was popular, there was DLC, although we didn’t call it DLC, we called it the “expansion pack”, and it actually felt like it was worth it. Those were the days…” And the children will whisper to one another “Grandpa’s pulling our legs, there’s no way games were ever like that”
“It’s optional” Buying your game is optional too and I’m choosing not to support you Ubisoft
So I’m not playing The Division 2.
Good to know.
Not only will game companies not give things away for free, they also won’t just sell you what you want. You can’t buy a complete game – you have to buy it three times or read a spreadsheet and put up 3 times as much money for the “digital vanguard super deluxe ultimate edition” (i.e. the complete game). Then if you want certain extras like skins, you can’t just buy them – you have to spend real money to gamble for them in loot boxes. This is why I prefer retro games at this point.

Ubisoft Shit Edition.
Shit man, I’m just happy Mahmud got me a mention on The Jimquisition.
I really hate how Ewbisoft make people buy _multiple_ “Collectors Editions” to get everything that _should_ come in one goddamn package.
People say they’ve changed but I think people are just so blinded by all the other shady companies that they’re not paying _any_ attention to Ewbi.
