    The website is literally only there to placate people from taking to the streets, and it works really well. I don’t think there has ever been a petition that hasn’t been fucked off by the government, at most it gets to a table of about 6 people who webcam themselves before chucking it in the bin and going for an expense paid lunch in Canary Wharf.

    Ultimately is comes down to us to get back to only supporting games that we can own but as a collective gamers just go with the Malibu Stacy with the new hat and then complain after rewarding the boardroom of these companies with good returns. I’m so glad Ross has kicked this issue into the light but just signing a petition and thinking you’ve done enough is only the pre-cursor.

      After hating Ubisoft for months because of all of this, I see people fawning over the new Assassins creed that was just announced, as if that isn’t going to be the exact same, overpriced, boring sorry, empty world game. This one will be different!

      I will probably get it - in 2 years when it’s priced at 10 dollars, and I’ll know they will take it away from me. I will basically rent it for 10 dollars. How anyone is gleeful about paying full price for an Ubisoft game is beyond me.

        It takes place in 17th century Japan? I might actually buy a used copy if it doesn’t have any fantasy elements whatsoever, and if the open world aspect isn’t just a time sink like it is in most modern games
