    I suspect this will be a spicy take but I like jumping into Ubisoft+ for a month when they have a big release, playing through and cancelling the sub. It’s way cheaper and I’ll never play these games again. There’s too many great games these days. I used to spend easily 1000-1500 annually on games between console and steam. I don’t really buy games anymore so churning between these subs has me spending way less each year and playing way more.

      1000-1500

      Wow, you’re not a patient gamer.

      Not spicy, more „casual gamer take“ since ubisoft games are rather unspectacular and forgettable.

      Before netflix you could lend games in a store and bring them back after playing through/testing them.

      The concept isnt really a problem neither is your personal opinion. Its just that a lot of peeps (like myself) are more invested in a few titles ans play them over and over. (Minecraft, Factorio. Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Rim World for example in my case).

      Its new, shallow titles against „classics“ so to speak. Like buying shoes ever week that hold a month and ending up with a full wardrobe instead of two pairs that do it for 2 decades.

      Paying 1000+ annually on games sounds like you might wanna ask yourself why you do it and what you‘re trying to accomplish btw. Thats a nice house downpaent over 10-15 yrs going down the drain.

      In any case, good luck.

      Dude, i was about to call you stupid, but just listen. Last 4 AC games intentionally was made with grind barriers and selling customers time capsules. Don’t you think they know how you are gonna play and never return? I almost sure, they gonna design their game the way you will just make yourself invested to the story to the end of month, pay for the second one and get back only to find out mediocre continuation and some cliffhanger to return to in the next month aka mmorpg treatment.

      Ubisoft games already sales with over a 70% discount within the year of the release, why wouldn’t you simply wait to play this mediocrity of gaming industry?

        Never said I played Assassin’s Creed, honestly I think they’re pretty bad. Love Immortals Fenix Rising and it was a perfect, I’m gonna say rental. New Prince of Persia looks like a good fit for this too.
