Eh. That's not a big of a loss as you're making it out to be. I purposely buy my games, I want to own them. (Asterisk with licensing and all). Point being that I don't agree with Ubisoft that we need to get used to Games as a Service. I don't want to rent my games. Even mid tier games, I want to own them.
But... you still don't own it. You own an ~~Ubi~~ EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.
and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I'll take the license.
Ubi? I thought Dragon Age was EA
lol fair enough, it's Bioware, but the point still stands
Ah I thought I missed the news and Ubi purchased the rights or something. The point does still stand, yeah. Parent comment made the same point too
I mean it’s the same for Steam.
Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t read the parent comment.
